>> sean: welcome to this busy news night on "hannity." sara carter with circa news, ted cruz, david clarke, larry elder, michael cohen and geraldo rivera. new reports reveal that susan rice was the person who requested that the names of the trump transition team members who were caught up in surveillance be unmasked. she has a lot of explaining to do. that is tonight's very important opening monologue. for weeks right here in this program, we have been demanding answers about who knew what ands

when about the surveillance of president trump, candidate trump and members of his transition team. also tonight, we appear to have a very important key piece of this very complex puzzle. fox's own adam housley will join us in a few minutes for the full report. he is revealing that the unmasked names of peoplele t associated with donald trump were then sent to all of those at the national security council and some of the defense department, james clapper andur then cia director john brennan, essentially the officials at the top including ben rhodes. it was known by a lot of people and it's widespread. intel sources now tell sara carter with circa news who will also join us tonight that the unmasking of names connected with the trump team appeared to beginn last july around the time the trump secured the g.o.p. nomination and accelerated after trump's election in november,

once the transition that continued through january. circa news is also reporting that most if not all had nothing to do withgh russia. that's not all tonight. eli lake will also join us tonight reporting one u.s. official familiar with the report said they contained valuable political informationr on the trump transition team such as whom the trump team was meeting, the views of trump associates on foreign policy matters and plans for the incoming administration. just two weeks ago, susanic rice was specifically asked during an interview on pbs if she knew about members of the trump team being caught up in incidental surveillance. she says no. watch this. >> i began by asking about the allegations by house intelligence committee devin nunes, trump transition officials may have been swept up in surveillance of foreigners at

the end of the obama administration. >> i know nothing about this. i was surprised to see reports from chairman nunes on that count today. >> sean: oh, really? i know nothing about that?or that's what you just heard her say. was she lying in that clip? new reports indicate that yes,ha yes she was. keep in mind this new information about susan rice comes on the heels of the smoking gun tape that was uncovered last week that we played on the program of former obama official dr. evelyn farkas admitting not only surveillance took place but the names were also unmasked and they wanted them leaked. s we are demanding answers to these questions. the american people now have a right to know. for example, what justification did susan rice have to unmask these names? that's pretty unprecedented. what did ben rhodes know? what did the former director of national intelligence know? what did john brennan know?

was this done for pure politicai purposes, under the ruse of national security? what did then-president obama know and when did he know it?y did president obama and members of his administration surveil an incoming president? america deserves answers tonight. we bring in adam housley with the very latest on his explosive new report. adam, this is a huge deal and a big development. let's talk about it. >> we started researching this last week when we started getting some of our sources, eli lake, he was the first one that came out to actually say it was susan rice. we had a belief it was susan rice but of course we had so much information coming in, wesu have to get it right first which we did. susan rice requested to unmask the names of trump transition officials. the unmasked names or people associated with donald trump and were all been sent john brennano

james clapper, all the people of the top including ben rhodes. these names were part of incidental surveillance, we are told, and people close to him including his family members for up to a year we are told before he took office.ud names of americans are incidentally collected but are supposed to be masked or redacted on last it is an issue of national security or crime.nt there are loopholes and ways but americans are supposed be protected from incidental collection. our sources say in this, they were not. the former deputy assistant under obama said this in part. >> i was urging my former colleagues and frankly speaking to people on the hill, it was

more actually aimed at telling the hill people get as much information as h you can. get as much intelligence as you can before president obamain leaves the administration. >> in the meantime, we are also told that devin nunes knew about the unmasking and leaking back in january. well before trump's tweet. the intelligence agencies slow rolled nunes. he could've seen it in other places besides the white house but it had already been leaked and he went to the white house because he could protect his sources and also get those logse it was twofold. keep in mind as the obama administration left office, it approved new rules which gave the nsa more powers about relaxing rules about sharing interoceptive communications and the ability to share those with 16 other intelligence agencies. i should also mention that susai rice, you covered it as well, in regards to benghazi -- she was the one that went on the sundayc

shows claiming it was a video and now we know all along, we know that attack had nothing to do with the video. >> sean: great reporting. we appreciate it. joining us now, eli lake, sara carter. eli, let's start with you. incidental surveillance. this is what devin nunes was talking about. what bothered him. now we find out susan rice seemingly is unmasking the names of people but only trump transition people or trump -- what those conversations were if they were picked up incidentally. why is that dangerous and why should the american people understand the seriousness of this? >> i want to just stress that i

don't know other things she requested to be unmasked but the way i understand is that the national security staffer that was doing a review of the unmasking policy noticed an anomaly in the patterns of requests from susan rice, unmasked the names that were incidentally collected, basically raw intelligence. that was then discovered by the staffer whose name has been out there. he then takes that to the general counsel's office in theo white house who then looks into this some more and tries to make this available to first devin nunes, but also adam schiff, the ranking member of that committee. they also offered this to the senate intelligence committee. >> sean: sara, why would susan rice especially as it relates to everything we have been talking about -- take incidental surveillance and ask -- this is raw intelligence -- ask for the unmasking but only seemingly in the case in the trump transition team or perhaps even trump as a candidate? how dangerous is that in the white house, when they are

surveilling and using legitimate surveillance to basically surveilled on opposition party? >> sean, it's extremely concerning because i think those are the questions that need to be asked directly of susan rice. i attempted to reach out toto hr a number of times just to ask for those same questions but she did not return my phone calls. >> sean: shocking. >> what we are looking at is not just the expansion.>> you and i discussed this. section 702 of the 12-333 executive orders supposed to protect americans from beingng unmasked but if we go back to the story i wrote last week, and 2011, that was expanded. to allow for more leniency and unmasking. it wasn't like -- it's almost like it was legalized without us knowing it.sk the unmasking was allowed to occur. in 2011, then in 2015 they

relaxed the law even more. what they were able to do and we know it went to susan rice. we know former cia director john brennan was allowed to do this and clapper. they had the ability to request unmasked american foreign to foreign raw intelligence. highly classified. >> sean: even if it was legitimate intelligence gathering, they are using that as a means to spy on innocent americans without the benefit of a warrant. a good way to put it. >> yes, that's certainly what intelligent sources are saying. they are saying look, this is not only about the unmasking. it's about why did they specifically unmask -- susan rice in particular -- at this point, from july, all the way back to july -- >> sean: what would be the reason short of they want to use they want to use intelligence gathering as a ruse to get to the trump campaign to get to trump? >> if it goes back to july,

these are the questions you have to ask. according to the sources i've spoken with, it goes back to july. t it happened again and november and it happened exponentially in november through january.ki they were looking at this. other sources we have spoken to just recently as of today have said these are high-level senior intelligence sources, these questions need to be asked. >> sean: standard operating procedures is you do not identify the identity of an american because you don't havei a warrant for that. standard operating procedure is when you are writing up a report, they would usually put in "american" and identify nobody but in this specific case, in these cases, we have susan rice asking for the names of those people. more with eli and sara after the break. senator ted cruz is here with the very latest on whether republicans will be able to push through a confirmation vote for judge gorsuch and later tonight... b

>> they are sticking to what i think it's a very unconstitutional and un-american policy. and trying to intimidate us into being what i call fugitive slave catchers. >> sean: the mayor of new york new jersey making outrageous claims against the trump administration for trying to protect americans living in sanctuary cities.ew more guests coming up on this busy news night here "hannity." . more guests coming up on this success has always been measured in zeros. but shouldn't it be about firsts? and seconds... how about adding a third? we think there's a bajillion ways to measure success. and whether you have hundreds or millions... we think you deserve the financial freedom to sleep like this at night. this is the new success story. and at t-i-a-a, we're with you. start today at t-i-a-a dot org.

video but i would go back and say i think at the beginning of this investigation, and what we may end up finding out is that the law that allows the u.s. government to collect all this information and share it within the government needs to aseriously be reformed. it may turn out that all of what susan rice did was technically legal but improper if you will. in that case i think it would be a matter of reform. i would sayin this. i am surprised that more democrats and progressive have not taken this issue more seriously. because if barack obama can do this to the trump transition,e then surely donald trump can do this to his own opposition and that something that ought to wary all americans. >> sean: it goes even deeper, sara, because her unmasking it set the stage if you will for the leaking we know -- a u feloy -- was committed in the case of general flynn. why would they want to know all this and maybe this was thee

whole false narrative thing that evelyn farkas was saying.e >> i agree with eli wholeheartedly on this. this is a civil liberties issue. it deals with the fourth amendment. >> sean: unreasonable searchh and seizure. >> there something else, a number of sources i've spoken to about this, none of us have access to those transcripts, those are highly classified. what we do know is what they told us. they have nothing to do with russia apparently and apparently there was no foreign intelligence value according to people who have had access to this. then they have to ask that question and they have to answer those questions. why were they looking at these transcripts? >> sean: you know what you are describing?qu maybe if they technically shifted the law without anybody paying attention, they seem to d be using under the guise of national security and legitimate

surveillance, an opportunity to do something worse than watergate which is to spy on a presidential candidate -- opposition party -- and an incoming president. and his transition team. that's what it looks like to me. does that look tha sara? >> yeah, i think they need to ask those questions. the house intelligence committee and the senate intelligence committee and certainly in the t leaking of michael flynn's name, there needs to be a full investigation where people can be subpoenaed and a grand jury can be called. >> sean: and russia had nothing toto do with it and that conspiracy is a lie. true or false? >> we don't know everything yeto sean. what we do know is as soon as we keep peeling at this layer of this onion back, we will get more and more answers. >> sean: we know there is no evidence of any collision. >> we definitely know the only evidence out there is that somebody leaked very classified

information, and american name regarding a classified transcript. that was the law that was broken. >> sean: thank you both for being with us. coming up, senator ted cruz goes on the attack against democrats who are intent on holding up the vote against judge gorsuch ands filibustering which is unprecedented historically. he will join us next. and later... >> they are sticking to what ihe think is an unconstitutional and un-american policy and trying to intimidate us into being what i think is fugitive slave catchers. >> sean: wow. fugitive slave catchers? the mayor of newark, new jersey, accusing the trump administration of trying to turn sanctuary cities into fugitive slave catchers. geraldo rivera and david clarke will debate that issue and much more as we continue on this busy news night. and much more as we continue on new bike? yeah, 'cause i got allstate. if you total your new bike, they replace it with a brand new one. that's cool. i got a new helmet.

headquarters, i am kelly wright. good morning. a showdown, to capitol hill over neil gorsuch's nomination for the supreme court. democrats claiming they have enough votes to block gorsuch's confirmation, but majority leader mitch mcconnell has vowed to push him through by friday. republicans might an active nuclear option requiring only a simple majority instead of 60 votes. white house officials meeting with members of the house freedom caucus monday night. it appears they are trying to bring new life into the failed health care bill. by winning support from conservatives who helped derail. one participant says the white house offered up some changes to the plan. and at the north carolina tar heels clinching the ncaa title. they begin zagat, 71-65 in a challenging game. this is not going to six national champ end. >> sean: welcome back to "hannity." mitch mcconnell said that judge neil gorsuch will be confirmed this week but many

senate democrats are vowing to block this from happening by any means necessary. this can lead to very bitter ani unprecedented confirmations showdown. that's tonight's mini monologue. way back in 2013 when democrats were out of control of the senate, then senate majority leader harry reid changed long-standing senate presidents and eliminated the 60 vote threshold that is needed for the confirmation of obama nominees. for three years after that, many senate democrats argued that this precedent of an up or down vote should be applied to all appointments including obama's supreme court nomination of merrick garland. you may remember this. >> we would much prefer the risk of up or down votes in majority rule than the risk of continuedt total obstruction. that is the bottom line. no matter who is in power. >> we need to call out these filibusters for what they are.

a naked attempt to nullify the results of the last presidential election. if republicans continue to filibuster these highly qualified nominees for no reason other than to nullify the president constitutional authority, then senators not only have the right to change the filibuster rule, senators have a duty to change the filibuster rule. >> we should be giving this person a hearing in a up or down vote. to not do so is violative of the u.s. constitution. >> sean: while a confirmation of judge neil gorsuch hating's in the balance, the hypocrisy of senate democrats is on full display. listen to what chuckie schumer had to say last month. >> i've concluded that i cannoth support judge neil gorsuch's nomination to the supreme court. his nomination will have a vote.

he will have to earn 60 votes for confirmation. my vote will be no and i urge my colleagues to do the same. to my republican friends who think that if judge gorsuch fails to reach 60 votes we ought to change the rules, i say if this nominee cannot earn 60 votes, a bar met by each of obama's nominees and george bush's last two nominees, the answer isn't to change the rules. it's to change the nominee. >> sean: this obstruction comes on the heels of a performance where democrats tried and failed to smear president trump's pick. the last option of obstruction that is available, the filibuster. only four democrats are promising to oppose the filibuster and that means. that such a filibuster is highly

possible and republicans will be left with one option. to invoke the nuclear option or the constitutional option and extend harry reid's 50 vote threshold for the first time ever to a supreme court nominee. joining us now, ted cruz. senator, the real a precedent -- the real lack of precedents here -- it's never happened before in over 200 years. a partisan democratic party that will not allow an up or down vote because they know they will lose. so, what do you think happens >> sean, you are exactly right. you played some of those early clips talking about an up or down vote on supreme court justices. they were very persuasive. we are going to have an up or down vote about judge gorsuch and he will be confirmed at the next associate justice of the supreme court. that really is a victory for the american people. this last election as you know was in many ways a referendum on what sort of justice would

replace justice antonin scalia. hillary promised a liberal o activist and trump promised a constitutionalist. >> sean: it is funny how schumer tries to shift the blame to the republicans when he is doing something that has never happened. and that is he is filibustering an up or down vote. it's really him that is doing it. let's move on. i know you have been very active and very supportive coming up with creative solutions and a meeting with a lot of people as it relates to health care. from my perspective, getting ita right is far more important thas any artificial timetable. what do you see happening in the process right now? >> you are exactly right. when it comes to repealing obamacare, failure is not an option. for six years, republicans have been promising the american people, if you elect us we will get this done. we have got to get the job done. it took obama 14 months to pass obamacare. the house bill was on the floor just 18 days.

18 days was not long enough. we can get this done in a way that actually fixes the problem. if you look at the members on both sides within the party, i am spending virtually every moment night and day meeting with house members, meeting with the administration trying to get people to yes. people want to get to yes. conservatives, moderates, we can get this done. the central test for success is going to be whether we drive down the cost of premiums. we have to make health insurance more affordable so people can afford to get care for the families. have do that, we will succeeded. if we don't, we will have d failed. >> sean: is about two simple things. no h one cares about reconciliation. what they care about our lower premiums and better health care.

you are working with all these groups. you are even working with moderates and conservatives. everybody knows that they can't get everything they want. >> that's exactly right. the players want to get to yes. if we set our goal, how do you lower health insurance premiums? there are a lot of tools and we know what those tools are. the most important is addressing the obamacare insurance mandates. under obamacare, there are a dozen mandates that are the prime drivers for premium skyrockets. house bill just repealed two of those 12. and 10 of the 12 obamacare mandates are in place. that doesn't make any sense because it makes health care unaffordable. there are other tools we have. people being able to purchase across state lines, health plans. letting people pay premiums from health savings accounts. all of those are consensus ideas that bring together moderates, conservatives. >> sean: that's what the president promised. what i've been hearing is that you and the president to have

getting along very well. two ted cruz bills were signed into law by the president. tell us about the relationship. >> well, the president and i were talking frequently. we are meeting frequently and i'm doing everything i can to help lead the fight for president trump and all of us in congress to deliver on the promises we made to the american people. we have a historic opportunity. in 2017 we are poised to do for big things. to repeal obamacare, past fundamental tax reform, see regulatory reform and select a conservative to the supreme court. 2017 will be a blockbuster year. i'm spending my time rolling up my sleeves try to get the job done you are right, president trump signed two bills i authored. it puts our space program on a strong and growing platform

going forward and number two, a bill that enable states toum require drug testing for unemployment benefits. both are very important and major victories for the state of texas. >> sean: this is an important time for the country and is so much and hangs in the balance. we have to stop this precipitous decline. thank you for the work you are doing. great to have your back. good to see you, sir.ci >> sean: newark, new jersey's mayor says the trump administration is trying to make sanctuary cities into "fugitive slave catchers." it's geraldo rivera and david clarke. a shoot-out coming up next. the head of the dnc unloads, tom perez says republicans do not give a "bleep bleep" about people. michael cohen and larry elder will weigh in on that and more on this busy news night.p] energy is amazing.

how we use it is only limited by our imagination. and at southern company we're building the future of energy, for you. but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet? with chantix.d i quit smoking i was very grateful to have chantix. at times when i would normally go smoke, i just didn't. it's kind of like "wait a minute,

i would normally be running out the door to go grab a cigarette." along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some reported seizures or sleepwalking with chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution driving or operating machinery. most common side effect is nausea. thank you chantix. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity." president trump signed an executive order back in january cutting federal funding into sanctuary cities that refused to uphold the law and cooperate with federal authorities. the mayor of new york new jersey made these outrageous comments about the trump administration's policy. take a look at this. >> i think that them targeting sanctuary cities as a way for them to tell mayors and other folks around the country one that they are sticking to what i think it's a very unconstitutional and un-american policy and trying to intimidateg us into being what i've called

fugitive slave catchers. that run around and do their bidding in our cities. >> sean: fugitive slave catchers. really? here with us, david clarke. fox news correspondent geraldo rivera. the first of all, he doesn't get to decide what is constitutional or un-american. he doesn't make the laws of the land, and he doesn't get to pick and choose which one he's going to choose to obey. but to use the slate analogy, really? >> fugitive slave catcher, it's a catchy line, it's inflammatory, you are actually right. it is sheer political rhetoric. it shows the depth of the emotion of this issue. in big cities where you have high minority concentration and cities like newark where you have many undocumented immigrants living peacefully and neighborly.s >> sean: nobody's talking about them. what the president is looking to do is to get criminal aliens -- how many mothers and fathers

have you interviewed over the years that lost their kids to criminal aliens in the system? >> not nearly as many as there t is one undocumented immigrant, usually a parent, either naturalized or born, thend children born in this country -- i want the president of the united states to not go the way in terms of that mayor'sry rhetoric. i want the president to succeed. we are friends and we love the guy, he's got to lower the temperature across the board. >> sean: you even have admitted he has. >> i want him in this one area to cool it. we don't need aggressive activity in courthouses. >> sean: sheriff, i interviewed a father and here was a guy that killed his son, working overnight at a convenience store.

he couldn't get the cigarettes fast enough for this guy.rk he had been convicted. he'd kidnapped and raped a woman and held her for a week against her will and wasn't deported and now that man's son is dead. >> geraldo, shame on you. you know what responsible rhetoric is. what he said is lunacy. i've heard a lot of stupid things said but that was the mayor of new york, comparing fugitive slaves to illegal s aliens. that's a gold standard of stupidity. i wish we could go back in time into talk to dred scott, talk to nat turner, talk to frederick douglass and asked them if it's the same thing to say a slave, someone taken against their will and returned back to a slave master is the same as the obligation to enforce our immigration laws.

count on the left to talk crazy, to talk outrageous, to try to add fuel to this thing. that's not what is going on. everybody knows it but there are other things to say so they have to talk stupid. >> sheriff, i respect you deeply. but i submit that if you are a member of a family that was being broken up because the one undocumented immigrant parent, usually the dad is being arrested and the breadwinner is being stripped away, the difference between -- that family and how the fugitive slave's family felt are very similar. let me add this fact, mayor bill de blasio -- who i do not like, we have already endorsed our friend as the mayor of new york city. new york city is the biggest city with over a million undocumented immigrants. for the last three months it has been the safest three months in the history of new york city. with 1 million plus undocumented immigrants paid when you talk about the anecdotes of this

illegal alien committed thisan awful crime and doesn't that make them all bad? you overlooked the reality that in terms of law enforcement, and cities like new york, this is not -- >> sean: let me give you one statistic. i sat through a security briefing in texas -- illegal immigrants, including rape and murder, they committed thousands of crimes. why should americans be the victims of these crimes? >> i know that i am at oddse wh many people watching right now. god bless you, i know you have different points of view than i do. every study i've seen and i would hold out for any other study. every study i've seen says specifically that undocumented immigrants commit -- fewer crimes. >> sean: that's not true. 36% of federal sentencing were illegal immigrants.

>> first of all, slaves were considered property. they weren't even considered humans. illegal immigrants are given due process. slaves were not given due process. slaves were hung, beaten, when they were caught. that's not what is happening with the illegal aliens. they are being returned to their country of origin. to say that a slave is an illegal immigrant -- >> i am not saying that. may i submit also that the mayor is an african-american in an african-american city. his words, not mine. >> no excuse for talking stupid. >> sean: coming up, celebrity snowflakes continue to spiral out of control. plus, the new head of the dnc caught on tape sayingl republicans don't give a "bleep" about people. the disgusting language of the left seems to know no bounds. as "hannity" continues on this busy news night. bounds. as "hannity" continues on this

busy news once there was a little pig that had built his house out of straw. one day a big bad wolf huffed and he puffed and blew the house down. luckily the geico insurance agency had helped the pig with homeowners insurance. he had replacement cost coverage, so his house was rebuilt, good as new. the big bad wolf now has a job on a wind farm. call geico and see how easy it is to switch and save on homeowners insurance. why pause a spontaneous moment? cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph. tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have a sudden decrease or loss of hearing or vision, or an allergic reaction, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity," it has been a little over a month since tom perez took the reins of the democratic national committee but the newly elected dnc chair already looks like he's becoming unhinged.io watch this moment ofle clarity. >> donald trump once his name on

everything. when it comes to health care -- he wants from care, so what we call it? i will tell you my idea, it's called i don't care. he doesn't give a [bleep] about people. >> sean: is that like michelle obama, you go low, we go high? larry elder and personal attorney to president trump, michael cohen. welcome back. what you make of just of that? he's unhinged and clearly the snowflakes cannot stop. it's like they can't get over they lost. >> they have the right to sayle whatever they want. freedom of speech. the republicans do it. the democrats are going to do it. the level of disrespect towards the president knows no boundaries.

and their attacks upon the president and the entire administration is so bad for this country. it's not just bad for us nationally but internationally as well. it makes us look weak and disorganized and chaotic and it is wrong. >> sean: let me go to larry. let's look at the "l.a. times" for example. the editorial board put out an op ed, "our dishonest president." you've got chelsea handler in a speech saturday calling the president a "blank-ing" loser. then you've got that slob michael moore and he saying trump made a declaration of war against the actual planet. the planet? the planet? >> where do you start? sean, consider that perez was -- more original of the two major finalists. keith ellison was even more over the top. regarding chelsea handler, she's a comedian. what about harry reid referring

to george w. bush as a loser and a liar? "week after week after week we were told lie after lie after lie."eo george w. bush "lied us into the iraq war." we have serious people on the left making very serious allegations. we don't need to go to comedians to find trump derangement syndrome. >> sean: you are right about every observation you are making. but if i used the same incendiary language, somehow i don't think it would become -- >> you would be off the show. that is certainly for sure. the level of disrespect -- >> sean: i would hire you as my lawyer. you'd keep me in. >> i would try. at the level of this respect is just outstanding right now but this liberal media.

he is the 45th president of the united states of america. they lost the election, allowed him the opportunity to succeed as a president. if he succeeds, we all succeed as a country. it's almost as if they want to see the country fall so that in four years they can say look, he didn't do what he said. it is a defeating personality trait. >> sean: let me go to tina fey. she is at an aclu fundraiser, larry. i will follow up with an article by robert redford, "the way we were." there's a certain level of arrogant condescension here towards the people that actually voted for the president. watch this. >> a lot of this election wass turned by the white college-educated women who now would maybe like to forget about this election and go back to watchingll hdtv. but it's like you can't look away.

this isn't going to affect you this minute but it will eventually. >> sean: white college-educated women should gt back to watching hdtv. they aren't as smart as her? >> trump got a smaller percentage of the white vote than mitt romney did. it would have taken quite some cashews to bash blacks promoting trump. white chained white voters. >> sean: rob redford -- the truth is again in danger, maybe he doesn't realize he was acting? >> who cares what these celebrities -- these movie stars or comedians have to say. it's freedom of speech, let them say whatever they want. the big problem is that the f media again, i'm talking about this liberal i mainstream media, they are applauding the t disrespect and they just keep

playing it over and over, the next celebrity wants to become relevant so what does he do? he jumps onto the bandwagon of stupidity. >> sean: they ratchet it up. >> sean, real quickly, how ironic is it that robert redford was in a movie called "truth" about a lie about what dan ratherer did? >> sean: i tried to watch it but i fell asleep. we need your help, a very important question of the day and the mean, horrible voice mails you left for me on the "hannity" hotline. straight ahead. and the mean, horrible voice mails you left for me on voice mails you left for me on the "hannity" hotline various: (shouting) heigh! ho!
