>> can you see why i voted for him? >> jimmy carter felt the bern. he voted for bernie. in the general he voted for hillary. >> condoleezza rice is here, "hannity" is next. ♪ >> sean: thank you from our friends on "the five." we have a very exciting night tonight. rand paul, sara carter, john solomon, pat buchanan, monica crowley, geraldo rivera and former secretary of state condoleezza rice will join us but first, tonight.f explosive new details and a massive political scandal that is becoming watergate on steroids. that is tonight's opening monologue, that the mainstream media ignores. circa news has been at the forefront of uncovering the massive surveillance and is now reporting new information that congress should immediately begin investigating the reports showing a political scandal unlike anything we have now seen in american history.

and it should deeply concern each and every one of you, the american people. it is your fourth moment right to privacy, it's now being trampled upon. the big question we need an answer to this evening.t' did the obama administration under the guise of national security targeting the leader of an opposition party -- trump and his associates and his transition team -- during the course of an election and postelection? during a subcommittee meeting, james clapper admitted he personally was involved in the unmasking of american citizens. wow. watch this. >> did you ever request the unmasking of mr. trump, his associates, or any member of congress? >> yes. in one case, i did. i can't discuss it any further

than that. >> sean: just one? we will find out. unmasking by the obamaha administration could have extended to a number of members of congress. circa news is reporting that republican senator rand paul, who will join us in a few minutes, sent a letter to the white house formally requestingn an investigation after an anonymous source told him that he and other members of congress were surveilled and unmasked by the obama administration. circa also reported that lawmakers and their staffers are so frequently caught up in surveillance that top congressional leaders are notified about it by u.s. spy agencies as often as once a month.ut the office of the director of national intelligence published new data that shows aa dramatic increase in surveillance and unmasking activity interestingly all during 2016. look at this chart put togethers by our friends at circa news.

they obtain this informationhe from the odni, office of director of national intelligence, look at these numbers.er the number of u.s. names searched, actual intercepts. the second shows searches of u.s. names. metadata, it jumped nearly 30% in 2016 from the previous year.e it has tripled from 2013. that is not all. the odni transparency report shows a huge jump in the number of unmasking requests that were granted by the nsa from 2015-2016. from 654 to more than 1900. these statistics raise alarming and very serious questions that need immediate answers. for example, why was there such a dramatic increase in this type of activity? especially in the middle of an election year with an opposition party.

president obama signed that executive order, that allowed the nsa to more easily share the intercepted communications -- in this case -- with 16 other federal agencies? was it done so that associates of trump could be targeted by our intelligence community? was it shared across 17 agencies who could be selectively leaked so could cause as much media damage as possible? this headline is back in april. reports and unmasking controversy were detailed, had info about everyday lives. according to a congressman, he said they apparently read it like investigator files which he described as similar to what yop might see it in divorce case. it's legally allowed to monitor foreign targets but u.s.

citizens have constitutional protections. surveilling foreign targets, if an american citizen is caught up in that surveillance, their identity is supposed to be protected. it is a process. it is called minimization. you're not supposed to be exposed or unmasked. keeping in mind, why were these detailed files being compiled? we know michael flynn's info was in fact leaked to the press. this is now enough is enough. we need to put cheap partisann politics aside, protect our constitution, get to the truth and what we need to know is, what did president obama, top administration officials know and when did they know what? we need to know what the sitting administration was doing targeting an oppositional party. joining us from circa news, john solomon, sara carter. we know michael flynn's info was in fact leaked to the press. this is now enough is enough. we need to put cheap partisan politics aside, protect our constitution, get to the truth and what we need to know is, what did president obama, top administration officials know and when did they know what? we need to know what the sitting administration was doing targeting an oppositional party. joining us from circa news, john

solomon, sara carter. sara, we are glad to have you. what was that increase, from 2013 to now? what is the justification? do we have that much of an increase in terrorist activityro that fisa and our agencies need to up their game that much? >> not necessarily. if you look at the story -- if you go back to testimony, there are 2,000 terror investigations in the united states right now. here you have an enormous amount of data being collected on americans. almost like a backdoor intercept into emails, metadata, as well as actual physical data of those conversations. i think what john showed, john correct me if i am wrong -- over 300% increase since 2013 in the collection of americans. >> sean: wow.

what you reported on is beyond devastating. from 2013-2016, intercepted metadata jumped by -- it tripled. it tripled. either the terrorism in this country has gone up that significantly or in an election year, our nsa andn intelligence communities were gathering information on political opponents to use against them and trampling on our fourth amendment rights. >> people are going to have to dig deeper but i will tell you something. g you mentioned the number in 2015 of unmasking. 654. that is what the obama administration actually u reported. it was underreported by a factor of more than three. in 2015 they were 2200 unmasking that the obama administration misreported.

the trump administration just corrected it. there are much higher in 2015 and 2016.at >> sean: john, this is an important question. >> that's a pretty big -- a large gap. someone is not good at math at the dni. >> sean: sara, let's go through this very closely. this is so important and i think americans need to know. if the nsa -- by the way, i have great respect for our intelligence community.ed their job is beyond risky. their job is to make sure that protecting our country, they have the right to surveilled a russian ambassador or an iranian ambassador. in the process of doing that, if an american is caught up in ass conversation they are surveilling, they have a process called minimization. they are supposed to minimize what they know about the

american, as long as they are not involved in sabotage or some type of nefarious activities against america. they minimize that but they have a process and devin nunes confirm this. even if they knew who it was, then they unmasked these people. even though they are innocent americans that should never have been surveilled in the first place. if it's political surveillance on an opponent, what with that mean in terms of scandal to this country? >> it would be one of the biggest scandals this country has ever seen. if that is proven. t go back to 2011 when they loosened up these rules. john and i reported on this. we see an increase of this. it slowly but surely, in increase of unmasking americans. but we don't know yet, sean, is why. as well as for the senate, and for congress to ask these questions. susan rice needs to ask these questions.

james clapper needs to ask these questions as well as director brennan. what were they looking at and why? if they were compiling dossiers on political opponents, that needs to be exposed. that cannot be held under the shield of classification. >> sean: you said last week we may now know who these people are that were surveilled. i will be joined in a second by kentucky senator rand paul. are we going to only see trump supporters, trump surrogates, trump campaign, trump transition? other republicans in the house and senate? that would be a pretty good indication it's political, wouldn't it? >> no doubt, we are certain of that based on our reporting. talking about marco rubio, howre about bernie sanders? we would like to know the answers to those questions.

senator paul raises an important question that i think will carry on for weeks. >> sean: sara, welcome back from vacation. good to see you, john. senator, this is beyond chilling. what did you hear and when you hear the numbers of john and his sara, what does that tell you? >> it is mind-boggling. sources have been telling us for a couple months now that they believe the obama administration was spying on other presidential candidates other than trump and that it may be politically motivated. i don't have the evidence. i haven't seen the evidence but i have requested it. i asked the white house to look into it and both of the intelligence committees. there are about eight members of congress that know more about spying and they get all the information that most of us are not privy to. i've asked those eight members, the gatekeepers. if they looked my personal information -- if they listened

to my phone call, they are supposed to have a notification and there is supposed to be someone that knows that this happened. i've never been notified. my question is, are they supposed to tell me they are spying on me or do i have to requested? i've made formal, written request to find out at the obama administration did indeed spy on me. >> sean: we are going from 654 to over 2200 in a year. >> it may be even worse than that. when we find foreigners, we gather up may be as much as a million pieces of information on a million different americans. what you are hearing about is the one saying looked at but they have a million different phone calls, transactions, emails from americans who've talk to people overseas. the danger is if they are willing to use this for political purposes, what if someone is making an international deal and buying a company and it is top-secret? it would be devastating to w yor

stock price to know you are negotiating a deal with a foreign country or a foreign company. what if someone decides to sell that to competitors? we can't have intelligence agencies listening to anybody, willy-nilly, without a warrant. >> sean: this is deep and profound. trampling on fourth amendment constitutional rights here. there are laws and procedures in place here. one, brennan, clapper, rice, maybe even the president knew about this. you are the lawmaker. espionage act. tell me the laws that could have been broken here and how dangerous it is to a free and open society. >> the main protection we have in our country is you have an independent judiciary. the police have to call a judge to listen to your phone call or come into your house. there's no warrant for the american. americans are being scooped upth in any conversation overseas and they are searching the databank.

one of the questions i asked the white house was, did anyone in president obama's administration query my name? did they look in that database and look me up specifically? did they ask to unmask me? they have these terms that sound like unmasking, how bad is that? it is the same as spying. who would you call, when you call, all of this massive data. they are able to look into it. yes, this is incredibly damaging to the separation of powers. it could damage all americans. >> sean: would that mean that brennan, clapper, rice, and mayc be the president could have broken laws? this is an important question. >> absolutely. we have had trouble with clapper before.. he came to the senate and lied under oath about the fact that they were already doing this phone collection of americans'at data.bo they're not going to easily --

divulge this. there's a little bit of a bipartisan support for looking the other way. i'm having to push very hard to see if anyone is interested in the truth.ot there are smart people that want to sweep this under the rug. >> sean: i am. tell me who those republicans are off air and we will be surew to bring them on. a serious issue. this is not a joke anymore. thank you for your insight. we look forward to peeling away the layers of the onion on this story. the one and only pat buchanan will join us in studio. i will ask him about the state of the g.o.p., president trump's agenda and more. also tonight... >> this is not a situation any american president can toleratei something has to be done about this. >> sean: that was condoleezza rice talking about north korea, kim jong un. she will join us later in the studio. that and more on this busy night tonight, here on "hannity." us . that and more on this busy night

finish line? best-selling author, former presidential candidate, the original trump -- patrick j. buchanan has the answers. it's a must read. it's called "nixon's white house wars." even when i disagree with you, i love to fight with you. i think i prefer to get along. you were a populist long before donald trump. >> back in the 1990s -- running against the trade deficits, to build a fence on the border. frankly, not to get involved in these wars -- the thing i have on a piece of glass was called "america first, buchanan '92." in marietta, georgia.

>> sean: i couldn't get in. it was packed. >> it was a great campaign. we didn't succeed but what donald trump did, i give him tremendous credit. i think he was onto some of these issues back in the '80s. he had the guts to drive them through. against all those odds. he had behind him the evidence of what he predicted -- >> sean: in many ways, historyry just repeats itself. he is a problem with health care. this is what i have learned. there is 100 plus liberal house members that never had any intention of repealing and replacing obamacare. with that said, the freedom caucus -- they work with ted cruz, i talk to these guys every day. they got the waiver, we have secretary price, raw authority

as a secretary -- to defund planned parenthood and some things that president trump promised.ri there's no other option when you have that strong a resistance left within the republican party. >> if you have that kind of resistance, you need to repeal and replace obamacare. you have to take it to conference, get it through the house. through the senate. if the numbers are actually what they say the word -- i don't think -- >> sean: look, i think they did the best they could. >> the house guys did the right thing. they can go home and say, we said we're going to repeal and replace. that is what we voted to do. we can't help what the senate did and we certainly didn't want to accept this conference so i don't think they aren't that bad off politically in 2018, if nothing happens out of it. if they said "we tried and we failed, we voted to do it and got it out of the house," the senators are the guys that will have the answer.

these attacks on trump, nixon had the worst press of any president in history until trump. he has an establishment of a against him. 4% of the vote in washington, d.c., my hometown. a bolshevik could've -- i tell you, when they successfully took down richard nixon, i think they're trying to break donald trump.yo we all talk about bringing this country together. i don't know how you do it. >> sean: i think he has to defend himself. >> he should not allow himself to be dragged into every one of these minor quarrels. keep your eyes on the prize and do what nixon did. he came in with 43%. four years later, he won 49 states to 1. >> sean: okay, neil gorsuch.

energy independence. these are all conservative issues. why are our brethren -- george will has lost his mind. >> it's a personal thing against trump, as an individual. there are two parts to the republican party now. trump pride in this new populist, nationalist america first. different kinds of tax. you asked the republicans. they are more old-time reaganites. you have to get those two forces together. he ain't going to win 49 states. unlike nixon and reagan did. >> sean: he might if he brings jobs back. a >> 49 states? california for example, they want to secede. >> sean: fine! go.

they have made a lot of progress in the last several years on potentially marrying bombs to long-range missiles. some place, it's soon. you have to put together measures to stop it. you have to get the chinese to change their calculations. they've always feared the collapse of the regime in north korea because they worry about refugees. they've been unwilling to do anything really tough with thery regime, to change the regime's behavior. they are really the only trading partner of consequence to the north koreans. the only ones that give the north koreans military equipment. you have to really get tough, tell the chinese that, the choice between you do something about the regime or we will. >> sean: what is an underreported story so far -- why hasn't it been reported, the great relationship he is

and discussion. they've been really trying to reestablish american credibilitd on these issues. credibility is not indivisible. when you are not credible about syria, you are not credible about north korea. when you are credible about syria, by having made that strike -- >> sean: he had to tell that the lack chinese president during dessert. >> i might not have done exactly that but good for him. the united states means what it says. will we do what it says it wants to do, it matters. >> sean: is there a military option? if we can't tolerate icbms married to nuclear weapons -- is there a military option thatma doesn't risk hundreds of thousands, if not more, lives? i >> there is not any military action any president would really want to exercise.

i can do to back him because i want history to regard him as a successful president. >> i agree with you. the other thing too is these comedians get applauded for somehow having the guts to say what nobody else will say about president trump. >> sean: wouldn't it have been gutsy here to go after obama? >> it's the exact opposite. if they were really gutsy, they would be applying this kind of comedy equally. they'd be going after nancy pelosi. >> sean: obama had a hands-off policy. >> that it shows weakness, not strength on their part. i would get might economic agenda through. forget it. >> they need diversity in the audience. >> sean: this will last for a while. this crazy business. when we come back, a very important question of the day and some hate mail that you left on the "hannity" hotline.
