never miss an episode of mar-a-lago come alive at 9:00 p.m. eastern. our friend sean hannity is up next. >> sean: thank you, guys. congratulations. i've always been the biggest fan of "the five." welcome to prime time. welcome to "hannity," we are gearing up for a very busy new snake. newt gingrich, michelle malkin, monica crowley, geraldo rivera will all join us but first i want to start with freedom of expression today in america and the attempts by liberal fascists to silence conservative voices. that is tonight's very important opening monologue.

i have to start by addressing a well orchestrated effort by the intolerant left in this country that is designed to silence every conservative voice and by any means necessary. i'm speaking out tonight so that you, our audience, will understand what is really happening and what is at stake when it comes to freedom of speech in this country. these tactics are right out of the rule for radicals playbook. i've worked for radio for 30 years. i've been at fox news for 21.5 years and during this time, there've always been efforts and attempts to smear and slander and besmirch me and other conservatives but it has never been as intense and completely insane as it is right now. i want you to understand, every single minute, every single second i am on the air, radio tv, there is somebody likely being paid, recording and monitoring every single word that comes out of my mouth all in the hopes that i may see something they can twist and distort and use against me and

try to destroy my reputation and get my conservative voice out the air. it has only gotten worse in the age of president trump. it's no secret i have been in support of the president and policies. these liberal fascists cannot stand conservative voices. i have a pretty thick skin. i call out people, i say things i give my point of view hours a day, and for all these years, there has been an unrelenting attack against me but in light of recent events i've come to the conclusion that i can no longer remain silent and i can no longer let the left slander against me slide. so from now on, i want you to be informed of what i am doing and why i'm doing it. if there's any person or group or any organization, any media outlet that slanders, lies about me, besmirch as me and my character, i will be calling them out. at this point, enough is not. i have hired some of the best

attorneys in this country to work with me and on my behalf. the breaking point came this weekend when an individual for over a decade has made the most outrageous, unfair, untrue allegations against me has now resurfaced by resurfaced by making ridiculous and completely untrue claims. this person went on a radio show on friday and made more unfounded accusations against me. this person is now interestingly recanting after i made my statement but it was only after i responded to these smears. this is not the first time i have had to deal with this individual. this person has repeatedly spread lies about me. let me give you an example. back in 2010 i was raising money for the freedom alliance, a charity that offers college scholarships to the children of killed veterans and their families. in a blog post, the individual falsely accused me and members of the charity of skimming and stealing money that was donated.

this of course was easily proven false. in spite of the fact that we proved each and every single allegation to be untrue and inaccurate at the time, i was never given an apology, there is no correction that was issued. now this person has made another slander accusation and in response, i released this statement which now the press has picked up and i will read it for you. let me be clear. the comments about me on a radio show this week by this individual are 100% false and a complete fabrication. this individual is a serial harasser who has been lying about me for well over a decade. the individual has a history of making provably false statements to get against me. the individual is not just slander me over the years but also many people who this individual disagrees with. this individual desperately seeks attention by any means necessary including making unfounded personal attacks and

using indefensible and outrageous political rhetoric. my patients with this individual is over. i have retained a team of some of the finest and toughest lawyers in the country who are now in the process of laying out legal course of action we will be taking against this individual. in this fiercely divided and vindictive climate, i will no longer allow slander to go unchallenged. i see this to be a coordinated effort afoot to silence those with converted wow conservative views. i will fight every single lie about me about any and all legal means available to me as an american. i want you to know, the importance of what is happening here. this is not about sean hannity, or one person. there is now a coordinated attempt to silence the voice of every outspoken conservative in this country. if we don't stop it right now, they won't be any conservative voices on radio or television left. i'm not the only one that is routinely targeted.

conservatives are monitored on radio and tv, every word they say, incorporated contrary to the alt radical left statement -- liberal fascism is a lie and well in america today. they want to shut up and shut down and silence all conservative voices by any means necessary. here is the difference. unlike the left, i don't have any problem with what the other side says. if you want to listen to liberals on radio or tv, follow them on social media, go for it. i will call them out for the bias. i will explain why they were wrong. i will debate them but i will never, ever say they should be silenced. i won't support boycotts to attack their appetizers and a roundabout way of silencing them. everyone who is publicly supporting trump is a target. we have seen repeatedly that the left knows no limits in these

efforts. they have attacked the first lady, members of the president's family, every white house advisor. they've even attacked his daughter and his 10-year-old son. ultimately there are goals to cause as much collateral damage. they tried to undermine the outcome of this election since november 9th. please note, this is not about me. this is about the left, all in an attempt to silence prominent conservative voices. if we don't take a stand now, if we allow this to happen now, i'm telling you, america as we know it -- freedom of speech as we know it -- is over. let's stop the boycotts and it silencing opposition voices. it looked all americans make their own decisions. joining us with reaction, newt gingrich. i first interviewed you in 1990. that was the first time, and a

holiday inn in decatur, alabama. i have had a target on my back since i've spoken out as a conservative. i don't think i've ever seen anything quite like this and to me, it's a real threat for freedom of expression. or maybe it's because it has affected me? >> first of all, the left is in a rage. he saw that by the unbelievably vulgar comments over the weekend by perez. these people are crazed. they are unhinged. look at berkeley. look at the college in connecticut. the level of hostility, the level of desire to shut us up, they are so shocked they lost in november and they can't believe it's because they are out of touch because they are dangerous and their ideas are fantasies.

we are cheating somehow. there is a war against fox news for practical reasons. fox news is the one place where you get reasonably accurate coverage of donald j. trump. if you are cbs news or "the washington post," you would love to live in a world with no fox news. there is a war going on with money being raised, to hire lawyers to set up fights and investigations. you are a piece of that action and much broader action all across america, the fascist left has decided they have to shut us up because we are winning the argument and we are beginning -- we are winning elections. things are not going the way they thought they would. i think this is a very dangerous time. i am glad that you counterattacked as directly as you did. i saw the individual withdrew those comments. i think we are going to see a lot more of this. anyone who is willing to stand up for trump is the target.

you're willing to do both. >> sean: dear member in 2010 when the irs was used as a weapon against all these tea party and conservatives? we went to your hometown in atlanta. that was done by design. i actually sensed the same strategy is being evoked. fox news is the only place on television that i think president trump gets very coverage. i am one of his supporters. the news division, he gets very coverage. talk radio, russ, mark, laura, we have all been targeted at some point. do think this is done by design to shut down fox or take away the heart and soul of it before 2020? >> absolutely. i think the left thought they were going to win up until about

8:00 or 9:00. when hillary replaced obama cut they would finish the job of wiping out conservativism in america and they would impose their radical values and impose the laws they wanted. they have been in a state of shock ever since 9:00 or 10:00 election night. they are almost in a total rage and they decided that conservative media, talk show host, fox news in particular, they are the enemy. if you are allowed to continue to broadcast, if you are allowed to reach out to millions of people, they're never going to win again. frankly i think they are right. this is an all-out effort with hollywood liberals putting up millions of dollars with george soros putting up tens of millions of dollars. you see it all across the country. this desperate effort to organize and politicize. i was giving a speech recently, i had college republicans tell me they were genuinely

frightened because if you smiled, people yelled at you because it was inappropriate to smile when hillary clinton lost. that kind of intimidation and it can get that bad. >> sean: mr. speaker, stay right there. coming up, democrats now in full force trying to distort president trump's accomplishments ahead of his 100th day in office. we will lay out the facts and set the record straight. also later tonight... >> then you have their plan, dirtier air. dirtier water. less people with health insurance. >> sean: and we want people to die. at dirty air, dirty water. the nasty rhetoric from the left. how it has been a part of their playbook for years. that and more on this very busy newsnight, on this very busy news week, on "hannity" ."

slowing down. we are expecting to learn a lot more about the president's plan on tax reform, another one of his key promises. a new poll that came out yesterday shows that in the election, president trump would have still defeated and won the popular vote. still with us, newt gingrich. they don't want to cover his accomplishments. numerous and money. congress has been a little slow. you and i have discussed the lack of urgency there. they have made an agreement on the health care bill. we will get the economic plan passed one way or another. how would you rate his first 100 days? >> i was on outnumbered on friday. one of the things we talked about was -- >> sean: that's a tough show. >> a lot of fun. they talked about the fact that there was a study that 91% of the comments about trump since he was sworn in have been negative. in the elite media.

91%. i look at things that are reality. lowest level of illegal immigration and i think 17 year years, people not trying to sneak in. careful targeting of groups like ms-13, the gaming which is in many american cities. focusing on getting them out of the country. he signed 28 bills. he signed 28 pieces of legislation already. including rolling back a whole series of obama's red tape and regulations. taking an estimated $89 billion a year of regulatory red tape off the back of american businesses to let them focus on job creation. you can just go down. item after item. this has been a very successful opening round. he gets china to abstain in the united nations, totally isolating russia.

putting direct pressure on north korea. nobody else has ever been able to do that. he is a good relationship now with saudi arabia. with egypt. with jordan. all of whom have approved him using tomahawk missiles after the syrian dictatorship used chemical gas. today i thought his conversation with the longest serving american astronaut, a woman, communicating to young girls that you too could grow up to have a career in science. a position that ivanka trump is deeply committed to. every time i turn around, he is doing something interesting. i don't know of any president who brought the entire security council down to the white house. nikki haley -- one of her his great appointments. i would give him a very high marks for this opening-round. >> sean: i will tell you this, i think the bigger surprise in 100 days is the china

relationship. i think it's huge especially with helping in north korea and meeting with the saudis, with king abdullah of jordan. meeting with president lcc of egypt. meeting with the israeli prime minister, acting in syria, mother of all bombs. but i think the other big accomplishment is energy independence. that is mats of for both security and job creation. can you just agree with me that congress has been a little pathetically slow, that they need to -- maybe -- >> yeah, congress is behaving like congress. they're going to get there and pass all the major legislation this year. in the middle of all the things you and i just talked about, we didn't get around to talking about a supreme court justice who is conservative and you compare where hillary would have

been where justice gorsuch is? that alone justified all the effort to win back the presidential election. he saw there, legitimate gripes about congress but i think mitch mcconnell was a masterful leader in the senate. >> sean: neil gorsuch. yeah, all those people that said -- >> he and paul ryan will get major legislation through this year. i >> sean: from your lips, i am hoping. and neil gorsuch, a huge promise. an originalist on the court. up next on this busy newsnight, on this busy "newsweek," tonight here on "hannity" ." >> people at the big banks write their own rules. unchain wall street. they are going to put y'all back in chains. >> sean: a deeper dive when we get back.

smearing republicans and conservatives. >> the status quo in north korea is also unacceptable. we must impose additional and stronger sanctions on north korea's ballistic missile program. >> sean: president trump continuing to show what leading from the front looks like. plus, a one on one with my good friend geraldo rivera. straight ahead. ♪ i'm dr. kelsey mcneely and some day you might be calling me an energy farmer. ♪ energy lives here. atmore than one flavor, oruch texture, or color.ing.

to avoid a shutdown. president trump is inviting the entire senate for a white house briefing on the escalating situation with north korea. conducting its sixth nuclear test since 2006. the west believes north korea is testing a missile capable of reaching the u.s. mainland. now, back to "hannity." >> sean: many on the alt left haight trump media, including some of america's top elected officials use very divisive rhetoric towards anyone that disagrees with their worldview. >> republican leaders don't give a [bleep] about the people they were trying to hurt! >> this is a bunch of scumbags. that is what they are. >> if you accept the support of

clan sympathizers before you are president, you will support their support after your president. >> they are tea party, and markets. she is going to let the big banks write their own rules. unchain wall street. they're going to put you all back in chains. >> let's have dirtier air, dirtier water. less people with health insurance. >> they are in favor of affirmative action if you can dunk the basketball or sink a three-point shot. but they are not in favor of it if you merrily have the potential to be a leader in your community. >> sean: liberals try to silence, smear, slander their critics but this show is not going to be intimidated by the

language of the left. joining us now, michelle malkin. this is not new to us. we both have had pretty big bullets on her back but i don't think it has ever been this bad and i won't take the lying and smearing and slandering anymore. i hope for all of us, this is not about me, michelle. >> amen. i am with you, brother. it's about time we draw that big bright red line. if we don't not as a movement fight back and push back against this concerted effort to stifle conservative speech, to demonize and marginalize conservatives in this country, we are going to end up losing. it does seem so bizarre because of course the republican party has control of the white house and both chambers of commerce. how is it that this hateful

movement on the left seems more dominant than ever? of course we have been paying attention and covering the modern political progressive movement since the reagan era. why is that? it's because so many of the dominant cultural institutions in this country have an iron grip on them. from the left. the attacks on us from hollywood, the courtroom, in deep state of government -- every crevice of the federal government that has been infested with people who hate our values, who hate our principles and policies. and of course college campuses as well, sean. it's all of the dash it's a historical movement. it's more relentless than it has ever been, for sure. >> sean: i would never in my lifetime -- i won't go. i would never let -- let bill

maher say anything he wants. i don't care. i would never support a boycott of rachel maddow or don lemon. let the viewers decide. let them decide who they want to watch or not watch. to me, this boycott has become the weapon. to intimidate phony -- 5,000 people actually are really 300 and they make advertisers nervous but it's all to relay silence, shutdown, intimidate people from saying what they want to say. this is dangerous. at the end of the day, this is dangerous for the country. i i don't support boycotts. >> as a practitioner of the first amendment, the answer to bad speech and speech with with we disagree is more speech and better speech.

in some cases, you do have to do political jujitsu. organizational jujitsu on some of these groups. i think that using some of the social media platforms, in many cases ironically created by leftists who hate us, is sometimes the most effective and powerful way to fight back against them. you have shown that with your own twitter feed and social media. using every platform you have to call these people out. the thing they love most -- when they smell blood and weakness, sean. >> sean: can they smell blood now? i think they do. >> they do. absolutely. this is why so many of us as americans who have fought on the right for so long have been frustrated by people in washington. the republican establishment. it year after year, bold in the face of these kinds of organizational tactics.

to the extent of those of us who work outside of the partisan sphere in washington, d.c., can do demonstration projects. yes, it's important to fight back. another very important point is it is not just the left the leftist partisan ideologues that are operating here. there are a lot of tools who are supposedly our allies on the right who are willing to serve as saboteurs. >> sean: that hated our support of the president and don't want to admit that they were wrong and oh, trump can't win. the more fascinating thing to me as there are people paid. i know who they are. they sit in their underwear. can you imagine what a loser must be if your job is to monitor sean hannity's every word, four hours a day and catch him saying something you can use

against him to get him off the air? that is happening to every conservative on fox, writers, bloggers, radio host. it's happening to everybody. this is now a well-funded orchestrated campaign to destroy and to silence voices. >> yes. the politics of personal destruction in the 21st century. yes, there are the social media trackers that -- it happens to political candidates who now have trackers assigned to them. even if they are at a very local level. school board candidates have faced this. it's everyone from local candidates all the way up to fox news personalities. you know, the best thing of course is not to give these people any more ammunition than they are already manufacturing against us. i think the montage that you showed is especially important too because this is not just a

fringe. it's not just leftists loons at uc berkeley or fresno state or in some hollywood salons. it is the very core of the democratic party here that is undermining the free-speech rights of conservatives in america. >> sean: well said. great admonition and warning. i hope people pay attention. we will fight back here on this program. coming up next, tonight, here on "hannity"... >> the status quo and north korea is also unacceptable. the council must be prepared to impose additional and a stronger sanctions on the nuclear and ballistic missile programs. >> sean: president trump is not backing down. we will get reaction from monica crowley, rob o'neill who killed usama bin laden and also tonight... >> the president talking about this wall is expressing a sign of weakness.

>> sean: nancy pelosi thinks president trump is weak for wanting a border wall. one is this lunacy going to end? geraldo and i shoot it out, straight ahead.
