everyone, monday 2:00 p.m. eastern for "intelligence report." good night. tonight on this special edition of ""hannity," donald trump takes on the liberal media. >> do we like the media? do we hate the media? >> yes! >> while hillary clinton hides from the press and president obama lashes out at fox news and talk radio. >> i haven't, you know, turned on fox news or listened to conservative talk radio yet today. i'm not exaggerating in terms of their story. that's the story they tell. >> katie couric is caught selectively editing her anti-gun documentary. >> how do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun? [ silence ]

>> and telemundo is busted staging and choreographing a shot at a donald trump protest. >> is telemundo staging a shot? ah, probably. >> this special edition of "hannity" starts right here, right now. welcome to this special edition politics in the press." how the liberal media is trying to influence the white house. earlier this week after the press went after donald trump over his donations to veterans charities, the presumptive gop nominee held a press conference to set the record straight and he went right at them. take a look. >> i've never received such bad publicity for doing such a good job. look, you know my opinion to the media. it's very low. i think the media is, frankly, made up of people that in many cases, not in all cases, are not good people. i have to tell you, the press is so dishonest and so unfair. i've been dealing with the press a long time. i think the political press is among the most dishonest people

that i've ever met, but what i don't want is when i raise millions of dollars, have people say like this sleazy guy right over here from abc, he's a sleaze, in my book. you're a sleaze because you know the facts and you know the facts well. >> now, after those exchanges, the press wasn't too happy about being called out by mr. trump. watch this. >> is this what it's going it be like covering if you if you're president? >> yeah, it is. >> we're going to have this kind of confrontation in the pressroom? >> it is going it be like this, david. if the press writes false stories like they did with this, half of you are amazed i raised all this money. if the press writes false stories like they did when i wanted to keep a low profile. i didn't want the credit for raising all this money for the vets. i wasn't looking for the credit. by the way, more money is coming in. i wasn't looking for the credit. i had no choice but to to this because the press was saying i didn't raise any money for them. >> here with reaction, editor in chief of lifezette, fox news

contributor, nationally syndicated radio talk show host laura ingraham is with us. look at these words, that they're dishonest, unfair, their opinion is low. by the way, so is the american people's opinion. that they should be embarrassed, he said. they're not good people. i agree with all of that. and we saw this play out in "the new york times." we'll get to this later about telemundo staging protests, choreographing what protesters should do. we saw katie couric insert eight seconds of dead air. nobody wants dead air on television or radio. but they got called out and to me, it was a good thing and i think the press died, journalism died in 2008. how profound was this attack by trump? >> i think so many folks who are watching this play out between trump and the press are saying to themselves, finally, finally someone's calling out the dishonesty. and at the same time, i'll say,

sean, i don't think it's necessarily cool for trump to take on every incoming missile or missilette from one of these media -- >> missilette? >> you know what i mean, it's like you're shooting down at these people. i worked for president reagan all these years ago. he always kind of dealt with them with a wink and a smile then went right back to the american people. and i just think there's a pretty little bit of a danger here of getting bogged down with the back and forth constantly with the press krit sicritics. he knows the press is against him. they're going to fight him every step of the way. >> look at the case of the veterans. nearly $6 million. at one point he said, well, are you going to ask hillary how much the clinton foundation has given? they've given -- >> which is a great question. >> -- over the years $70,000. that's a legitimate comparison that they, themselves, ought to be thinking about if they were truly honest, fair, balanced. they're not, though.

>> their whole point -- yeah. sean, their whole point is he only got the money together for the veterans groups when the "washington post" started digging around about it and wrote his million dollar check late in the game. they were nitpicking him on the timing. as if trump was -- did we really think trump was going to keep the money for himself? >> he's going to steal it. he's a billionaire, who's going to steal $6 million for the vets? >> i think this election is going to be won, or lost, on this question. who is going to grow this economy? who's going to make the lives of the average americans better? who's going to make the country stronger? the border more enforced. better deals. protect our sovereignty and independence. i don't think the back and forth of the press, as entertaining, believe me, i find it very entertaining and well deserved in most cases. i just don't want this to turn into the trump media show for the rest of the election because i don't think that ultimately will be good. >> in the course of a week, though, "the new york times" story got debunked. katie couric got exposed.

telemi telemundo got exposed. it's as relevant as it's ever been. he took them on hard over the vets issues. let me give you one example. i actually think the election is going to be about are you better off than you were eight years ago? >> right. >> has liberalism failed again? i think the answer's yes. does donald trump offer a better vision for the country? but let's take "the new york times." carrie prejean and this woman, rowanne brewer lane, you know, featured in "the new york times." a hit piece against trump. they didn't expose kathleen willey, interview her or juanita broaddrick. >> of course not. >> or paula jones. but they tried to smear and besmirch trump and it backfired and it backfired because the women, themselves, smopoke out d here's part of what they said. >> i basically, you know, wouldn't give them a story and now they came out with their own version of it and took, you know, something out of my book and just totally twisted it and made it so negative and i have nothing but positive things to say about donald trump.

>> they were trying to paint him in a bad light. there's nothing else that can convince me otherwise. >> wow. >> having asked them so many times and being promised repeatedly that it was not going to be exactly what it turned out to be and made me angry. i'm not going to just say that's okay because it's not supposed to happen. it shouldn't happen. we can't let it happen. >> so the featured women, to feel compelled -- >> of course. i mean, sean, they're going to do this. this is what's going to happen between now and the first week in november to donald trump. they're going to say that he doesn't like women, that they're going to say that he's perpetual, you know, lawsuit freak. everything they can say they're going to say, exaggerate, going to downright lie. i think he's nailed them on this. most people watching the ex-change between trump and nasty press people, he'll come out on top. tonality, his great strength is not backing down from a fight

but it's also, i think, laying out when he gets into the specifics, laying out an agenda of growth and economic opportunity. i just don't want him to get too sidetracked. >> understood. i think you make a good point. >> that's all. >> i think the fact that it's such big news this week and it happened consecutively, i think is a pretty powerful indictment kbe against them. it was funny, dan rather said the following, he said "i felt a shudder down my spine watching donald trump's attack against the press. this is not a moment to be trifle ld with." look at his career. it's pretty funny. >> poor old brian williams, jason blair at "the new york times," dan rather's deal, katie couric. now they're digging up things trump said in 1994 about women or wives who work. they'll stop at nothing. i'm saying i think the american people are on to this game. i really do. the old identity politics looks

really stale after we've had a democrat in the white house for 7 1/2 years who's still blaming george w. bush. so i think trump has -- i think he has the world at his feet if he plays it right and some of the fun banter. >> the irony is the mainstream media asked barack obama as a candidate one time and i said the question before debate to george stephanopoulos about bill ayers. he didn't know who they were. to me, that tells the whole story. laura, thanks for being with us. coming up next on this special edition of "hannity" -- >> i've done nearly 300 interviews, and they're not even sure they captured all the ones that i've done, but i believe that we do and we should answer questions. >> hillary clinton, she offers up that lame response after being called out for not doing a press conference in about six months. we'll check in with dr. ben

carson. he's here to weigh in. and also tonight -- >> i haven't turned on fox news or listened to conservative talk radio yet today, but i've turned them on enough over these past 7 1/2 years to know i'm not exaggerating in terms of their story. >> bashing fox news and talk radio while liberals are up in arms about donald trump pushing back against the press. we'll have reaction. all of that and more on this special edition of "hannity: presidential politics and the press" as we continue.

fire officials say the flames are now 80% contained.

that's up from 30% from the start of the day. at its peak. the fire forced thousands of people to leave their homes but now most of the evacuations are being lifted a conditions improve. that's a look at news. i'm kelly wright. now back to "hannity." welcome back to this special edition of "hannity." this week donald trump called out hillary clinton. she's not held a press conference in nearly six months. clinton was asked about her lack of access to the press earlier this week. here's what she said. >> it's been something, like, five or six months since you've held an actual press conference. is that something you're going to remedy soon? >> oh, i'm sure we will. you know, look, i was shocked, myself, that i've done nearly 300 interviews and they're not even sure they captured all the ones that i've done, but i believe that we do and we should

answer questions. of course, i'm going to. and many, many different kinds of settings. >> now, interviews are not the same thing as a press conference. joining us now is someone who knows what it's like to deal with the liberal media, former 2016 presidential candidate, now supporting donald trump, dr. ben carson is back with us. you know, isn't this an amazing phenomenon that the closer that hillary clinton gets to securing the nomination, the weaker she gets. and the more afraid she seems to be to go out to the media because of all the scandals that surround her. is the tha isn't that the real reason she doesn't want to do a press conference? >> well, you knows, anybody who really thinks that they have the right answers and the solutions should be anxious to do a press conference information out. but she seems to shy away from situations that she can't totally control. and that's not something that i think thinking americans should be able to see quite readily. and that would be a very good reason not to have her as

commander in chief. >> you know, you've got the inspector general report that just came out that contradict everything she's been saying about the e-mails. lie after lie after lie. you got brian pagliano wants to plead the fifth in a judicial watch case and cheryl mills gives a deposition a week ago about cheryl mills, what, 200 times with 7 lawyers objecting during the 5-hour deposition then not recalling the rest of the time. it seems like there are too many questions she cannot answer without putting herself in legal jeopardy. do you agree -- >> well, the sad -- no, the sad thing is that there are so many americans who have access to everything that you just said and it doesn't matter to them. it doesn't matter that the person that they support is a perpetual liar. it doesn't matter that she said what difference does it make in benghazi? would not send help when they

pleaded for help. you know, is this the kind of person that we really want to have? we've had better choices than this, and are we going to do this to our children and our grandchildren? and then you look at the e-mail scandal. you know, with all the experience, when she talks about her great experience, first lady for eight years, senator for eight years, secretary of state. you don't have enough judgment not to put vital information into a nonsecure place and then you sit around, you try to blame everybody else for it and colin powell did it, condoleezza rice did it, everybodiy else did it, no, they did not do it. this is a problem. >> everything they seem to attack donald trump on, having friendly surrogates in the media like "the new york times" or telemundo or reporters in the clinton camp, it seems to boomerang back on them. it started with the whole gender issue then raised questions about bill clinton's conduct and abuse of women, hillary's enabling and her involvement in

smearing and slandering some of these women. more recently they went aft, quote, trump university, then you have the appointed firm donating money to hillary and on top of that paying hillary and bill a lot of money for speeches. so that falls apart. even on the trump university case, how many people know bill clinton was paid $16.5 million in 4 years for this laureate college that is literally according to students taking advantage of them across the whole world? that's a huge sum of money, don't you think? >> absolutely. i recently talked to a physician who went to trump university and this man is very wealthy, but he's not wealthy from being a physician. he's wealthy from what he learned at trump university and learning how to do investments. he's become very successful in the real estate area. he says that's because of trump university. you can find people who have had bad experiences there as you can at any university. they need to look at this

objectively. >> certain points, although i feel like i've asked every single candidate when i was interviewing them, they're in the process, when there was 17 of you running for office, every question i could possibly think of. my strategy was to let the candidates talk. what was your experience like with the media, generally speaking? >> well, you know, i had an episode like the one that donald trump had a couple of days ago with the media back in december, and, you know, i really let them have it because, you know, they were taking these lies about me and the west point story and spreading them around like they were truth then when it was discovered they were completely off base, did they come back and say anything? of course not. the same thing, you know, with the temper thing when they found out that it was true, yeah, they said nothing. and on and on and on. because they were just desperate. they have an agenda and that's their problem. it was really only after i got to a double-digit lead head to head over hillary clinton that

they started coming out with all this stuff. they clearly have agendas. >> let me change topics a little on you. if donald trump comes to dr. ben carson, says i want to put you in charge of health and human services, i want you to replace obamacare with health savings accounts, would you do it? >> i would certainly be willing to help make that happen. and a lot of other things, too, but sean, one of the things i've found very useful is to be able to be out there. all over the country talking to all kinds of different groups. helping to educate people about what's going on. and then being able to interface with the administration. i think that will be extraordinarily valuable, too. so, you know, we would certainly talk about which is more valuable. >> all right. dr. carson, always good to see you, thank you, sir. coming up next on this special edition of "hannity" -- >> i haven't, you know, turned on fox news or listened to conservative talk radio yet

today, but i've turned them on enough over these past 7 1/2 years to know i'm not exaggerating in terms of their story. >> we'll prove that wrong. obama lashes out at fox news and talk radio while liberals like hillary clinton criticize donald trump for pushing back against the media. we'll check in with austan goolsbee, doug schoen, kellyanne conway with reaction. later tonight, donald trump labels katie couric a third-rate reporter. why she deceptively edited a scene in her documentary about guns. we'll check in with eboni williams and dr. gina loudon. they'll weigh in tonight. and -- >> is that the media staging a shot? is that the media staging a shot? is telemundo staging a shot? ah, probably. >> a cameraman working for telemundo is caught staging and choreographing a shot under trump protests. all that and more as this special edition of "hannith "ha

presidential politics and the press" continues. [music]

he doesn't want to unify us, he wants to ditvide us. he started his campaign attacking people and hasn't stopped. yesterday it was the press he was attacking. now, if you're in public life, you're not always going to like what the press says about you. i have some experience with that. but part of the genius of our democracy, our system, is we have a free press. >> all right. welcome back to this special edition of "hannity: presidential politics and the press." that was hillary clinton going after donald trump for daring to question the press. the almighty press. shortly after clinton criticized trump for going after the media, well, president obama he did the exact same thing this time taking aim at little old fox news and conservative talk radio. some things close to my heart. take a look. >> their basic story is america's working class,

america's middle class, families like yours, have been victimized by a big, bloated federal government run by a bunch of left-wing elitists like me. and the government's taking your hard earned tax dollars and it's giving them to freeloaders and welfare cheats and we're strangling business with endless regulations and this federal government is letting immigrants and foreigners steal whatever jobs obamacare hasn't killed yet. i haven't, you know, turned on fox news or listened to conservative talk radio yet today, but i've turned them on enough over the past 7 1/2 years to know i'm not exaggerating in terms of their story. that's the story they tell. >> glad to hear you're watching and listening at least occasionally. here with reaction, former obama economic adviser, austan goolsbee. and former clinton pollster, fox news contributor, doug schoen. and from the polling company, kellyanne conway. good to see you all. let's go to government numbers. doug, i'll start with you. >> yeah. >> all right. so the president said that we're

wrong. he says basically we're lying to the american people. >> sure. >> all right. he says by almost every measure, the american economy is better off. that's what he said. okay. if you go to the census bureau, the number of americans living in poverty since he became president, nearly 7 million more. if you want to know the number of americans on food stamps, 12.4 million more americans. if you want to look at the average health care premiums increase, he said average family would save $2,500 per year. well, it's up 40% for the average family in america. the labor force participation, we haven't seen a level this low since 1978. we've lost 264,000 manufacturing jobs. home ownership rate has dropped nearly 4% under obama. >> sure. >> 93% of american counties have failed to fully recover under his watch. the national debt by the time he leaves, he'll accumulate more debt than every other president before him combined.

now, by every measure, he's lying and we're telling the truth. >> you see, the way i see it, sean, is these are legitimate questions to be debated and there's a substantial measure of truth in what you're saying. but for the president to basically politicize his role now both domestically and overseas i think is just plain wrong and i think the substance while certainly important is swro outweighed by the fact that he's polarizing and dividing us when we need to be brought together. >> you know, kellyanne, if i'm wrong in the press, i'll admit i'm wrong, but i'm looking at the u.s., you know, census bureau, the kaiser family foundation. i'm looking at the "wall street journal." i'm looking at the government's own labor statistics to get these numbers. he is wrong by every measure, we are worse off by almost every measure. i don't see one measure that we're doing better on. >> he's not just wrong, he's nervous. obviously, donald trump and fox

news and talk radio has gotten into the heads of bill clinton, hillary clinton and barack obama. i always find it to be so undignified, so unpresidential for president obama to pick on what he considers to be right-wing media. you're the president of the united states go destroy isis and get millions of women out of extreme poverty, please, that's your day job. there's another thing that's going on. look at the polling data where americans tell you how they feel about the economy. they don't care if economists and demographers say hey, everybody's doing better, the middle class is rising. if you don't feel it around your own kitchen table, it's not true. the other thing that's going on that is a problem for obama or hillary, they love to blame the vast right wing conspiracy and they can't. hillary clinton is being challenged, a challenge on the left in her own party. that's bernie sanders topping her. >> all right. i just listed a whole bunch of statistics, austan goolsbee. can you say that any one of those things, and i'll cite every one of them to you where i

got my information from, can you say that any one of those statistics that the president is right, that by almost every measure, americans are better off economically? can you say -- >> yes, there are many. of course, sean. >> can you contradict any one of those? >> first of all, when, "a," when did you become so sensitive, sean? one of the things i admire about you is no matter what they say, no matter what my friends say about you -- >> i'm glad obama's watching and listening. maybe he'll learn something. apparently it hasn't stuck yet. is there any one -- wait a minute. is there any one statistic that you challenge that i just gave out? >> let's take several. one, on food stamps, you are insinuating that because there are more people on food stamps we are worse off. >> 12.4 million americans? >> -- changed the rules of the program so that more people would qualify. >> 12.4 million more? >> actually there are far fewer people who would have under the old rules qualified for food

stamps. the only reason there are more food stamps is because they changed the rule. >> and what about all the people out of work? what about the national debt? what about home ownership? >> let's go to labor force participation. you're disregarding the fact that the population has been aging faster than it has been aging in -- >> oh, we're getting too old to work. >> so you're counting people in nursing homes and toddlers in your measure of the -- >> you guys counti ining unempl who were six months -- you know, kellyanne, i find this interesting, this is the lowest labor force participation rate since march of 1978. and, of course, we got that from the bureau of labor statistics. and austan's answer is that people are too old to work? >> it's crazy, and the other thing is, people have given up finding work. that's why we have low participation rates and donald trump has tapped into that, has he not? basically in focus groups, men say i'm getting screwed, women say i'm struggling and they're both saying the same thing which

is since when did the job tno longer be enough? people have jobs, they can't afford everyday life because the cost of living outpaced what the wage stagnation has been. nobody can deny the wage stagnation. obama is worried about his economic legacy because hillary clinton in trying to run for obama's third term is not doing well. >> all right. we got to go. thank you. coming up donald trump slams katie couric as a third-rate reporter after it was uncovered this week that her special on guns was deceptively edited. we have eboni williams and dr. gina loudon here to weigh in. and later tonight -- >> [ bleep ]. is that the media staging a shot? is that the media staging a shot? is telemundo staging a shot? >> ah, probably. >> a shocking example of liberal media bias. a telemundo cameraman busted for trying to choreograph and stage a shot at a donald trump protest. we'll check in with charles hurt

and mercedes schlapp. they'll be here with reaction. that and more of this special edition of "hannity: presidential politics and the liberal press" continues. what're you, what're you, what're you? i probably got that question 3 to 4 times a week. i'd always get asked if i was asian or moroccan or something else. so i jumped at the chance to take the dna test through ancestry. and my results ended up being african, european and asian. it just confirmed what i guess people had seen in me all my life. i do feel like ancestry helped give me a sense of identity.

hillary clinton is the winner in puerto rico, the victory putting her in striking distance of clinching the nomination. she hopes to wrap things up tuesday. the body of muhammad ali is back outside as mourners paid their respects. the city is preparing to honor his legacy with a day of celebrations on friday. a veteran photo journalist and his translator were killed in afghanistan while on assignment today. david gilky on the right and his

translator seen on the left were traveling with an army unit when they came under fire. he won multiple awards for his work. i'm kelly wright, now back to "hannity." welcome back to this special edition of "hannity: presidential politics and the press." earlier this week, donald trump tweeted that katie couric is a, quote, third-rate reporter, after her documentary "under the gun" was deceptively edited. first take a look from "under the gun" as it aired on tv. >> if there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun? ♪ [ silence ] >> now notice that eight-second pause there. was the film trying to make it seem like the participants couldn't answer that question?

okay. eight seconds. you don't add dead air to tv or radio. now listen to the audio what really happened. now this answered couric's question. you can see, they answered immediately. >> how do you prevent felons or terrorists from walking into, say, a licensed gun dealer and purchasing a gun? >> well, one, if you're not in jail, you should still have your basic rights and you should be able to buy a gun. >> so if you're a terrorist or a felon -- >> if you're a felon and you've done time, you should have your rights. >> the fact is we do have statutes, both at the federal and state level, that prohibit classes of people from being in possession of firearms. >> all right. katie couric took responsibility for the edit and said she questioned the editor about the pause. she was told that the beat was added for dramatic effect. is that news? joining was reaction, fox news contributor eboni williams and

psychology expert and radio host, dr. gina loudon and she's also a tv host. eight seconds, dr. gina? eight seconds? that is an eternity. that was deceptive. that was meant to deceive the viewers. >> and this is the plan of action of the left media. they've always done it like this in the mainstream media, sean. you and i, both of us have been victims of it. but here's where donald trump got it right when he said third-rate. when he said reporter, let's get one thing straight. katie couric doesn't report. she opines. there's a difference. you don't call yourself a reporter. i don't call myself -- eboni doesn't. we know that we're expecting opinions. commentary. that's a different thing. but the cool part, the american public's waking up to that distinction and they're not going to get away with it anymore i don't think. >> yeah. but eight seconds. it was so -- this is so egregious to me. how she has a job is -- it's fascinating to me. >> well, gina hit the nail on

the head, sean, for years many of us have known katie couric as a journalist, supposed to be objective and credible. some of us. talking about going back to old school. >> always been a liberal. >> just because you're a liberal doesn't mean you can't be objective. >> liberalism has showed for years. >> here's the thing. at this point, this documentary, very clearly this is an op-ped piece, a documentary -- >> no, this was -- >> it has a specific political agenda. >> this was manipulation. they manipulated, purposefully, distorted purposefully to advance an agenda. >> i'm saying it's a political jae agenda at play. when you're going to do that, i think to be fair, certainly the right has done it at times, the left does it, too. >> what, quote, journalist -- >> i'm not saying a journalist. i'm saying there are these political advanced documents from both the right and left and that's okay, sean, you cannot do it under the guise of journalism and what made what katie did a problem. also the problem, the first week she said she stood by her director in the documentary, took a full week to admit --

>> because she got some pushback. gina, dr. loudon, you brought up a very, very important idea, that is, i'm a conservative. i say i'm a conservative. the difference between myself and, say, katie couric or brian williams or dan rather or any of these report -- they claim they're something that they're not. they claim that they're fair, claim that they're objective, they claim that they're balanced. it's a lie. >> it is a lie. >> they have agendas. that's where -- >> so, sean, you think you can't have a belief, a personal belief and still do your job accurately? every lawyer, they have to, have to be liberal, have to be conservative? >> any -- >> here's the thing, sean. here's the thing. america has fallen in love with authenticity. this is the reason they've fallen in love with donald trump. donald trump in one shot is taking out not just the establishment republicans, not just the establishment democrats, but also the establishment media. the establishment media has become a contra indicator to

future public opinion if you think about it. it's like if they say, like a stock market call, if they say short trump, we know we better go long now because they're lying to us and that's the great part of all this. >> and in a course of one week, the media between the telemundo piece, between katie couric, between "the new york times" hit piece, they've been exposed and i think the damage is everlasting. i said in 2007 and 2008, journalism died. i think the american people have now caught up. and i don't think they trust any of these people anymore. >> i agree with that, sean. i think the mainstream media's credibility, "the new york times" piece, you know what, even liberals, i know, but they even felt like, that's the best you could come up with is a woman who voluntarily put on a bikini at a pool party? come on, that's pretty weak. >> they're in disbelief, sean, they can't believe this has happened. go back to dan quayle adding an "e" on the end of the word, what they did to him over that and take somebody like barack obama who apparently doesn't know how many states are in the country he's supposed to be president

of. >> 57 states. >> know nothing about that -- wait a minute. >> he misspoke. >> what about when he said navy corpsman three times in a speech? what's a navy corpsman? he was reading a teleprompter. four times? >> eboni, the point is there are not mistakes on both sides. >> right. >> the point is how long it makes the news cycle. it destroyed dan quayle when he did that. obama went on to be president, stay president. take biden's gaffes. >> george w. bush made many gaffes as well and he was okay, right? >> navy corpsman. >> shame on me, do it twice, what is it? what is it, shame on us both? >> i got to roll. good to see you both. coming up next right here on "hannity" -- >> [ bleep ]. >> is that the media staging a shot? is that the media staging a shot? is telemundo staging a shot? >> ah, probably. >> a cameraman working for

telemundo is caught on tape staging, choreographing a shot at a donald trump protest. when we come back, charles hurt, mercedes schlapp, they'll weigh in as this special edition of "hannity: presidential politics and the press" continues straight ahead. relook.

welcome back to this special edition of "hannity: presidential politics and the press." sadly we have yet another example of members of the media not doing their jobs. . welcome back to "hannity". >> watch this. >> is that the media staging a shot? is that the media staging a shot? is telemundo staging a shot? >> probably. >> you're staging a shot of a protest? >> you're staging the news. >> i'm not part of the media. >> i'm -- >> "hannity" show producers

reached out for a statement and told us in part, quote, the cameraman is a temporary worker, hired to help cover the san diego-tijuana area and told us telemudo news did not, nor would it ask any temporary worker to stage events. and says the video in question never aired. joining us now with reaction, mercedes, maybe it doesn't air because they got caught. the fact is that he's caught choreographing an event. apparently, these people were leaving. he told them how to hold the flag. i mean, it's not news. that is acting. >> it's not journalism. it's not journalism. it's advocacy. and i worked with the spanish language media for a very long time and i will tell you, since we saw the comments trump made

about the mexicans last year and that they have made a decision that they're not necessarily to. we saw this one with the jorge ramos press conference, he jumped in and we've seen another uni vision anchor woman who said that bernie sanders or hillary clinton were the oem choice for president. plus, univision or telemundo never even covered an anti-hillary clinton protest. guess what? they have a strong agenda. and certainly, the powerful ones. >> this question, what would the difference be if i was at a

hillary clinton press conference and did what jorge ramos did? >> you'd get killed. you'd be destroyed. there are many examples of this staging and scripting that goes on when it's important to overstate the importance of donald trump before and after the media made the media -- >> i think he's been as effective and this is a relationship that very few people know about. but they go out at night. they socialize together. they go to parties together. isn't that true? >> i do believe that that is the case. i want to make the argument, for donald trump, where he's been

able to beat up on the media and the media you can see many americans saying yes. you look at the gallup poll, a majority of americans don't trust the media. viewers are depending on the spanish language media to find out what's happening. that is the point. >> good points. we'll come back and continue this special edition of

what's it like to be in good hands? man, it's like pure power at your finger tips. like the power to earn allstate reward points, every time i drive. ...want my number? and cash back for driving safe. and the power to automatically find your car... i see you car! and i got the power to know who's coming and when if i break down. ...you must be gerry. hey... in means getting more from your car insurance with the all-powerful drivewise app. it's good to be in, good hands.
