tv Hannity FOX News June 19, 2017 10:00pm-11:01pm PDT
10:00 pm
handler, i will show tomorrow. >> kimberly: never miss an episode of "the five." >> sean: thanks to our friends on "the five," welcome to "hannity." leftist rage reaches an all-time high as a liberal hatred towards the president is now spiraling out of control. newt gingrich, plus special counselor robert mueller, it has now turned into a political witch hunt. it needs to be shut down. we will cover all of that in tonight's very important opening monologue.e liberal hatred toward president trump and republicans has now reached a fever pitch. it has become uglier, nastier than anything we have seen in modern political history. and now, it is becoming violent.
10:01 pm
just take a look at what happened.co remember, a deranged left-wing ideologue tried to assassinate republican lawmakers. thankfully, to braved armed capitol police officers were there and they prevented this from becoming what could have been a massacre.ic what's even more disturbing, is that police have found a list the gunman had in his van, and it contained names of six g.o.p. congressmen. three of those republican lawmakers on that list will be joining us later in the program tonight, but here's the thing. this horrific assassination is just one example in a much larger pattern of vile, much larger pattern of vile, disturbing, left-wing hatred, that now sometimes it is encouraging violence.rt for example, here is a performance of shakespeare's "julius caesar" that is been going on in new york city depicting a president trump look alike getting brutally murdered.
10:02 pm
that's night after night. last night, a protester rushed the stage at the play and reportedly yelled, "stop the normalization of political violence against the right.",d that protester will join us also tonight. there was a theater company,oi they did use an obama-like character in the same play, but, can you imagine if the circumstances where the same back then as they are now? the mainstream media would be apoplectic, and rushing to blame conservatives and second amendment supporters, and they would be going ballistic over all of this. now, i here on this program, have been coming under fire by those who say i am overreactingo by criticizing this play, and i don't know shakespeare. really? this isn't about shakespeare. it's about glorifying, by the way this is for a liberal joe on msnbc. this is glorifying violence against the president of the united states of america. looked, in 2012, if the obama version had gotten more attention, i would have taken the same position. it was wrong then, it's wrong
10:03 pm
now. this isn't even about freedom of speech, although, i would never call for anybody to be silenced. these liberal purveyors of hate have the right to say whatever they want, and i have a right to call them out for being a beyond tasteless, vile, and disgustingt it let me them of the viciousness that has been spewed from the left in this country. here's one example that is so graphic we always have to warn you before we put it up on your screen. kathy griffin, posing as an isis fighter with a fake blood he severed head of donald trump. you know what, posing like a jihadist with something that looks like the president's head, is that the right thing to do? is that what we want in this country? or is it a threat potentially against the president? how about this from madonna at the women's march with thousands of left wing protesters. telling a crowd of angry protesters in washington, d.c., that you thought an awful lot about blowing up the
10:04 pm
white house. is that a smart thing to do,o, r can it be interpreted as ais threat against the president? now, there are countless other examples of liberals making threats against thee president, but here's the thing, this isn't really free speech. this isn't shakespeare. this is about a rage, a hatred of this president, and the left and liberals trying to objectify, dehumanize this president. they are trying to paint him as not human. a peaceful protest, that's not what democrats and the left have been calling for since the election. they've been calling for, remember the words resistance. let's be clear, i'm not saying that the left is responsible for what happened last week, or bernie sanders reporters are, that is not bernie sanders supporters what happened in alexandria, virginia. i won't say that, because you have to hold people accountable when they commit acts of violence. they are responsible. but you cannot deny there is this out-of-control rage and hatred coming from the left in america today.
10:05 pm
it is a very, very dangerous game that is being played out here, and it's one that the left plays all the time. remember back in 2008, president obama said this about yours truly. >> he can speak. i might have to put mr. burgess on fox news. i'll put mr. burgess against sean hannity. he will tear him up. >> sean: and obama said, getting their face. remember during the campaign, former vice president crazy uncle joe biden, said this about then candidate donald trump. >> the press always asked me don't i wish i was debating him?
10:06 pm
no, i wish we were in high school, i could take in behind the gym? that's what i wish. >> sean: if i said taking uncle joe behind the gym, what would happen to me? were going to have more on this topic later in the program tonight. it's so important, but also tonight, special counsel, robert mueller's investigation is in fact now turning into a dangerous witch hunt by engaging what i've been warning about, investigation mission creep. we've been highlighting night after night exactly what's been going on here, and here are the facts. mueller, who has a massive, huge, numerous conflict of interest with his relationshipip with comey, is now hiring an army of people to look into everything else with trump russia collision, including jared kushner's finances. the fact that three people on mueller's team have donated to obama and clinton. does that sound fair, balanced, and partial to you? the fact that now they are investigating other issues like the objection. here's what happened? this whole thing was supposed to be about so-called trump russia collision.
10:07 pm
guess what, there is zeroo evidence. none whatsoever at this point, so now mueller is looking into other things. finances, business dealings, obstruction, and we can expect it's only going to get bigger and more expensive day in and day out. i you can bet one thing, he's nott going to stop until he finds something to justify his existence.e. it's what i call investigation mission creep. and speaking of the facts, if mueller wants to investigate obstruction of justice, he should ask his good friend james comey about loretta lynch influencing about the clinton email investigation, and meeting bill clinton on the tarmac and saying it's not an "investigation" it's a "matter," and sarah carter investigating she might have put the kibosh on any potential indictment. if mueller wants to look into his finances, then why not investigate the pay to play scheme that was going on in the clinton foundation? remember the uranium one deal, there's a rush of conspiracy. hillary clinton, secretary of state, signing off on giving 20%
10:08 pm
of america's uranium to vladimir putin and the russiansf by the way, all the while people involved in that deal, donating millions and millions to the clinton foundation. and her husband doubling his speaking fees in moscow. instead of creating crimes, mueller should be investigating the ones we actually know occurred, including the feloniea by hillary clinton. here's a reaction, author of the brand-new book bestseller, newt gingrich. you said, people are going to be indicted over something that has nothing to do with the original investigation. >> i absolutely believe that. you look at, it gets worse the more i've done research over the last three or four days. the state department, or the justice department, has 97% of
10:09 pm
its donations went to hillary clinton, 3% went to trump. that's the justice department. that was bad enough as a culture, now it turns out that the law firm that mueller comes from was 99.81% of their money went to hillary clinton. it was about $360,000 to a total of $678. you have this very biased culture at the department of justice, which is 97% for hillary in terms of donations. they then reach out to an even more biased law firm which is at 99.81% to find the lawyer to head up the nonpartisan, remember nonpartisan, investigation.
10:10 pm
he then hires four key lawyers, all of whom donated to democrats, as you pointed out. my favorite is the one who defended the clinton foundation against the freedom of information act. unbelievable! i don't know that i would have the nerve to write this novel, but if somebody wants to know what the deep state is, start up here with the justice department's 97%, come down to the law firm at 99.81%, pick a group of lawyers who are hard-core democrats, two of whom, by the way, also have prosecutorial problems. because they hid evidence from the defendants. one of whom was convicted 920 by the court. this pattern is not defensible. >> sean: rod rosenstein wrote a two-page memo saying comey has to go.
10:11 pm
comey then leaks to "the new york times." comey then gets his bff to be the special counsel. rod rosenstein contributed allth of this, and now he's talking about shifting from the russia collusion, a lie, to obstruction andab finances. this is dangerous for this country. both of them need to recuse themselves, and get out of the way. why are they even still there? >> well, i mean, you have to question the entire special investigatory process that brings in these headhunters who are very high-powered lawyers. they are not going to leave until they get somebody. that was my point over the weekend.re karl rove wrote a very good column last week in "the wall street journal," and he says you have to be very worried about special investigators running a muck. he cited, and his own case, he had forgotten one phone call. imagine how many phone calls someone in his position in the white house it was getting. he forgot one phone call that was months ago or a year ago.
10:12 pm
they almost indicted him for forgetfulness. that's how vindictive, that's how powerful these powers of state are. >> sean: by the way, i want to send our thoughts and prayers to the family of this young man, otto, who just recently returned from north korea and i tonight. i am so sad for this family. i want to ask you one final question. i think this is important. i really believe this rhetoric, this hatred i talked about in ml opening monologue, shakespeare, the isis pose, the rhetoric, hate, the violence towards this president, to dehumanize him, is now extraordinarily dangerous.s. your thoughts? >> it's extremely dangerous, and it's much deeper than just trump. i talk to college students atpe the college republican national convention this week, i ask them, how many of you feel intimidated and your campus? a third of them raised their
10:13 pm
hands. i had students tell me that they are literally intimidated against saying they were for trump because they thought it would cost them two or threet grade levels from their professor. this anti-conservative, anti-trump, anti-republican pattern is very deep, it's very widespread, it's in the newsrooms, it's in hollywood, it's in the academic community, and it's in the bureaucracy, and that's what the deep state is all about. that's why this fight is going to go on for all eight years of the trump presidency. it's now a fourth branch of government. >> sean: and the media colluding with them is even worse. 11 months of lies, no apologies, no retractions, no one is going to get this right. congratulations on the book, "understanding trump." thank you sir for being with us. coming up, late last week we learned disturbing news that
10:14 pm
this left-wing gunman who tried to assassinate g.o.p. lawmakers had a list of his cart with the names of six republican lawmakers. three of those lawmakerss will join us next. straight ahead tonight, and also, we will continue all of this hatred toward the president, and we will get into the other issues, including thec woman who literally stormed the shakespearean play in the park over the weekend, peacefully, to say enough is enough.e that and my commentary on megyn kelly, straightahead. you totanobody's hurt, new car. but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three-quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do? drive three-quarters of a car? now if you had liberty mutual new car replacement™, you'd get your whole car back. i guess they don't want you driving around on three wheels. smart. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

10:19 pm
tourniquet on this young kid. then, of course, what happened to steve scalise fighting for his life, and now you find out you're on a list to be murdered, to be assassinated. i've got to imagine that is tough, too. >> very much so, particularly for my family.t what the public doesn't understand, we often get these kind of threats. members of congress or ther united states senate, by way of example. at one time i had a bounty onhey head of $20,000-$30,000. if you were successful in killing me and some other members of congress, also had that kind of bounty. what happened last wednesday brings it home and sharper focus, however. it's one thing to get these kind of threats, it's another thing to have multiple shots at you and that your friends and colleagues.
10:20 pm
>> sean: again, having to jump and help these guys. congressman franks, it's also media figures. i have dealt with as my entire career. it's not fun. >> well, it really isn't, sean. i just have to say, as much asri want to say that the line that it is held deeply by all of us, we have to seek unity. there also needs to be an element of accountability. t when you have the president of u united states being treated by the leftist media as almost an agent of a foreign government, and you have major corporationsa like american express still sponsoring plays in the park that depict a donald trump look-alike being stabbed to death, and kathy griffin holding beheaded donald trump, a duly electede president of united states, you can understand why it might appeal to the nut cases and the malignant in our society. b it's time that the left calls this out, and we get back to principal persuasion and debating the issues like we are human beings, like the american people that believe that all of us are created equal. >> i think unless we do that,
10:21 pm
the president situation could evolve into very tragic circumstances. >> sean: congressman, i agree with congressman franks. i just think it has gotten so heated, and isis pose with a severed bloodied head of our president?te a nightly murdering of our president? the rhetoric -- the russia trump conspiracy live told day after day night after night. you think it has had an impact in terms of delegitimizing the president, but also, objectifying him as the subject of evil. i wrote it down, and agents of the foreign government. i think that was a really good way to put it. >> yet, i think he's right on that. i think we all have to be careful in what we say. everybody has to be careful because there is a heightened sense of emotion and frustration out there on the streets.
10:22 pm
a lot of it has been fed by a lot of groups on the left, but we have to be careful on the right too that we don't encourage folks who are our friends to go out and do something stupid.ks we have to be careful because you don't want anybody eating her by the violence that has already ensued, and could continue if we don't see a toning down of the rhetoric by the media and others. >> sean: mo brooks, what's your take on the rhetoric and association, isis poses, severed head, conspiracy theories. is it having an impact? >> it's definitely having an impact. it's a part of the demonization strategies of the democratic party uses on a regular basis. last year, by way of example, you saw it with respect to our law enforcement unity. you saw with occupy wall street. i personally believe that what we saw in dallas where a gunman shot at and killed a law enforcement officer and caucasians, simply because theye are law enforcement officers and caucasians, is in part because the democratic party strategy of demonizing the law enforcement
10:23 pm
community on the one hand, and also engaging in a strategy of racial division where they try to get block votes from minority groups by trying to portray caucasians as the enemy. it's not surprising to me that you see this kind of blowback as we saw in dallas, and as we saw last wednesday in thela washington, d.c., area. >> sean: first of all, thoughts and prayers with congressmansh scalise. congressman brooks, you come a long way way. i'm really proud of you. ruth >> thank you, sean.od you have to, i might add. >> sean: thank you very much. coming up, you're going to meet the woman who stood up this weekend, stormed the stage at the shakespeare in the park rally in new york city. she is calling for the leftist hatred to come to an end, and later tonight --
10:24 pm

coalition. the warning came after our military shot down a syrian war plan on monday, that never happened during serious six year civil war. of moscow has now suspended a hotline to avoid mid air collisions between russia and u.s. warplanes. >> sean: welcome back to "hannity." despite the vicious assassination attempt on republican members of congress last week, and new york shakespeare in the park continued their production of "julius caesar" which depicts the killing of a trump look-alike every all night. the show did close last night as planned, but our next guest felt she had to do something of the depiction of violence against our president. laura loomer stormed the stage in the middle of a poor performance, and following the interruption, loomer was arrested by the nypd. she joins us now wire it to ag claim why she did this. thanks for being with us. >> thanks so much for having me, sean.y >> sean: you know if you did this, you're putting yourself at
10:30 pm
risk. you're probably going to be arrested. you were arrested, you are charged, you're going to have to appear in court park. but you knew that, right? >> yeah, i knew that would be a consequent. >> sean: why was this so important to you? >> this is been really important to me because the left has systematically and programmatically used free-speech and artistic expression as a pretext to incite violence against the right and promote the assassination of president trump's, and that is really problematic. you can see the consequence of this play and just the liberaltr mainstream media using political violence against the right of this past week. when representative steve scalise was shot in in assassination attempt onwh the publicans. this was carried out by a liberal who watched msnbc and a fan of the mainstream media, and who knows, maybe he was influenced by kathy griffin and "julie caesar." >> sean: by the way, this was nonviolent, and it's funny. the left has been preaching
10:31 pm
since donald trump is elected the resistance. obama wants to get their faces, and biden once talked about taking trump behind a schoolyard and kicking the crap out of him. robert dinero wanted to punch him in the face, jim carrey wants to use a golf club on the president. then we got isis poses andhi everything else. of course, the infamous madonna. listen to this. >> yes, i am outraged. yes, i have thought an awful lot about blowing up the white house. >> sean: you know, speaking about you, wait a minute, i thought the left like peacefulw, protest it in some cases, they don't even speak out against violent protest. i know republicans, they have been critical of you, and never trumpers are critical of you. this was nonviolent. you are tired of a president look-alike getting assassinated on stage.
10:32 pm
why would they be so critical when they support will when liberals do it, and what if itn was against certain historical religious figures. what he think the reaction would be? >> this is assassination porn. the left is taking pleasure in watching an assassination attempt on president trump. shakespeare once said that violent delights lead to violent ends. when you're going to delight in the assassination of our president, it's going to have a violent end. trumpers supporting me? do they have and, with the liberals? they are both unhappy with president trump in our president. they haven't accepted it. the only way that would be resolved if he was eradicated. people like ben shapiro arees ie going to criticize me because i am protecting the president's life, i am protecting our constitution, i'm using my constitutional right of free speech and protest to protest
10:33 pm
the normalization of violence against the right. it is absolutely absurd. >> sean: in light of what happened last week, you took a very courageous clinical stand. it was nonviolent, you're making a strong point, i applaud youk, for what you are done. you did it knowing what the risks are, and good for you. m thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. >> sean: up next, on this busy breaking news night. >> i'm not prepared to say there is proof you can take to a jury. >> sean: and now, even liberal congressman adam schiff, the latest democrat to admit there is no evidence of trump russia collision, and why is this still a story. we will talk about investigative of robert mueller. why do we move from russia and tromped to obstruction of justice and finances? sarah carter, gregg jarrett, weigh-in, straightahead.
10:37 pm
go to lendingtree.com and shop multiple loan offers for free! free? yeah. could save thousands. you should probably buy me dinner. no. go to lendingtree.com for a new home loan or refinance. receive up to five free offers and choose the loan that's right for you. our average customer could lower their monthly bills by over three hundred dollars. go to lendingtree.com right now. >> sean: welcome back to "hannity." democrats, members of themo destroyed trump media, will not stop pushing this phony, russia trump collusion narrative despite no evidence. as a met stomach matter of fact, evidence of the contrary. ranking democrat, liberal congressman adam schiff he said this. pay attention. >> the allegation of course is that the russians and the hacking and dumping of documents during the election had essentially relationships withth trump campaign people, and coordinated those efforts.
10:38 pm
now, the fbi open investigation into that issue in july, well before congress did, but i am o not prepared to say there is proof you can take to a jury, but i can say, there is enough that we ought to be investigating. indeed, it would be negligent for us not to investigate. >> sean: jay, i want us to get into this, because this is become like russia trump conspiracy, like a truther's. it has gotten so bad, every intelligence official, every democratic congressman, nobody has any evidence of collusion. 11 months of media lies. same goes for from the other night why now are they moving on to, what, obstruction? m and if that doesn't work, there move on to financial issues. at what point does this investigative creep and? >> what the president said is actually correct.
10:39 pm
this is a witch hunt it's as if you have a false narrative being compounded by another false narrative, except you've got a committee of the house, committee and the senate, a special counsel, and everybody is looking at this. here's t what you just heard. do we have evidence i can go to a jury? no. and then the other senator saying we have not seen evidence of collusion, and all the intelligence official saying no evidence of collusion. no evidence of russia collision. so, what is this at the end of the day? what's really at stake here? this is what's at stake, theat constitution is at stake.eo what you have right now is these multiple prong investigations that i've been going on. when people think of special counsel appointed in the middles of may. this has been going on for almost a year. ten months. and what is the evidence said? even the members of the democratic party have acknowledged, nothing. we have seen no evidence.
10:40 pm
so, at this point -- >> sean: i want to stay focusedut on these constitutional issues here. richard armitage, patrick fitzgerald, new early on that he was the leaker, but he stays on this for literally, three years, and all he comes up with is a perjury trap for scooter libby at the end of the day. at the start of the russia trump collusion, why is this special counsel still here? how does the guy, how do we move to obstruction, how do we move to finances? to me, it seems like a constitutional crisis now d created. thoughts? >> it's a fake constitutional crisis, because if you look at the constitution, of course, the president could not have obstructed justice and the termination of james comey.ob the whole basis, by the way, all we know our leaks coming out of suppose it agencies going to "the washington post." we don't have evidence of anything, a leak, or a series of
10:41 pm
leak, and they don't identify the agency. but what is the purported violation? this is where the constitutional issue arises. here is what really happened. the president takes an evaluation of the conduct and activities of james comey asked the director of the fbi. he comes to the conclusion based on consultation with people that ke he trusts in his administration, including the attorney general, deputy attorney general who recommended removal. he was already thinking about it before. they made a big deal about that. but what james comey date in the middle of the last election.. so you take that, what's the action based on? he takes a recommendation that now the attorney general and deputy attorney general have made, and he took action to remove james comey as the fbi avdirector. now, he is supposedly, and again is no evidence, supposedly if it was true what they are leaking, he is being investigated by the agency who told him to take the action that he ended up taking, and now they do that to the office of the special counsel
10:42 pm
office of the special counsel who reports to the deputy attorney general. this is the problem, the constitutional problem is they are creating something that is contrary to the way the constitution is structured and the powers of the president. >> sean: the really important thing is, now the president doesn't deal with russia threatening to shoot on ourow planes, or the insanity of north korea that we have to deao with, or isis that is a big problem, or getting people out of poverty come off of food stands, and into the labor force and buying homes. now, this is 80% of the president's time, which in part, is part of the agenda. >> i call that a media filibuster. what the president isn't doing his work. he's doing his job. absolutely. >> sean: now, it has taken on, we got to talk about the investigative creep next. what is this mission creep, investigation creep. if they don't have evidence of collusion, why they still there? should robert mueller and rod rosenstein resigned?
10:43 pm
i say yes. i do wrong, my take on megyn kelly's interview with alex jones. the commentary you don't want to miss. remember our special night? abdominal pain... ...and diarrhea. but it's my anniversary. aw. sorry. we've got other plans. your recurring, unpredictable abdominal pain and diarrhea... ...may be irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, or ibs-d. you've tried over-the-counter treatments and lifestyle changes, but ibs-d can be really frustrating. talk to your doctor about viberzi,... ...a different way to treat ibs-d. viberzi is a prescription medication you take every day that helps proactively manage... ...both abdominal pain and diarrhea at the same time. so you stay ahead of your symptoms. viberzi can cause new or worsening abdominal pain. do not take viberzi if you have no gallbladder, have pancreas or severe liver problems, problems with alcohol abuse, long-lasting or severe constipation, or a bowel or gallbladder blockage. pancreatitis may occur and can lead to hospitalization and death. if you are taking viberzi,...
10:44 pm
10:46 pm
10:47 pm
it, from circa news.com. i want to go to both of you. we started out, trump russia collusion, reason for investigation. okay, and somehow rod rosenstein, the guy that recommended in a two-page brutal takedown on why you should fire comey, is now saying that firing comey is obstruction. then we going to finances, then we go into mueller literally leaking daily, or somebody to his office to "the washington post," this to me is beyond dangerous. once it's been proven that trump russia collusion doesn't exist, why are they even still working on this? >> that's the question that everyone has. it's a question that i have. if there's actually no evidence that they had as of yet, and they haven't had in the past seven months, that trump or his team colluded with the russians.
10:48 pm
>> sean: wright, ten months! >> right. there is no evidence that heus colluded with the russians, why are they continuing to push for an investigation? you brought it up, mission creep. there are a lot of questions as to the people that mueller has hired. democratic donors, backers of hillary clinton, the clinton foundation, connections to the clinton foundation, especially with ray, and what we are looking at is a serious problemd particularly, ethical conflicts. this is coming from people within the fbi, who are very concerned about the relationship that mueller also had with comey.e this is something nice to be taken very seriously, and there is reason why the trump administration, why president trump would be and should be concerned about this. >> sean: concerned, i mean, greg, here you have comey leaks to "the new york times" for the very purpose of getting a

special counsel, rosenstein wrote the letter that comey should be fired, and now is helping to get the bff of comey, mueller, in there. then he hires hillary's attorney on the clinton foundation to avoid lawyer requests and donors to obama and hillary. wow. could there possibly be any more conflicts, which is why mueller and rosenstein need to go, in my opinion. >> there is a cancer within, except the cancer here is within the special counsel office. mueller is violating the law,r comey has violated the law, rosenstein continues to violate the law by refusing to disqualify himself. these are the three central figures in all of this. there is a reason why ethical rules exist to prevent

favoritism and prejudice, and yet all three of these individuals are ignoring the law with impunity. i have a theory here. they know there is no pollution, so they can't prove the case there. what prosecutors, in my opinion, experience as a defense attorney, they try to conjure criminality where it doesn't exist. >> sean: they are justifying their existence. >> there contorting the law ofre obstruction to try to make a case when under the statute, he cannot exist given the fact that we know. >> sean: wright, that is exactly -- >> there would have to be a threat or bribe. >> sean: that's exactly what alan dershowitz said. and then this raises other questions. why are we investigating loretta lynch and her obvious obstruction, and did she put the kibosh on any potential indictment on hillary. hillary clinton's obvious
10:51 pm
felonies, mishandling, destroying of classified information? then, of course, we've got the foundation of hillary clinton and bill clinton giving 20% of american uranium to vladimir putin and getting kickback millions from people involved? >> there are so many questions that haven't been answered with regards to the uranium one deal, with regard to ukraine, with regard to haiti, with regard to the clinton foundation. none of them saw a specialo prosecutor. i think the big concern here is, especially for lawmakers, is what happens with loretta lynch. right there, we know that loretta lynch asked director comey to call the investigation a "matter" not an investigation, and furthermore, that there was an email that director comey obtained between two political
10:52 pm
figures that serve adjusted that loretta lynch was going to put the kibosh on any indictment against hillary clinton.ve those are questions that need to be answered. >> sean: to me, there is collusion, there is obstruction, there are felonies committed, and there is a conspiracy theory, becauseom hillary conspired to give 20% of uranium to vladimir putin for money. >> to people and which there is some evidence of the legality, loretta lynch, the formerr attorney general, and hillary clinton, are not being investigated here. all you have to do is go back and look at the torture h interpretation of the law that comey offered last july, and any lawyer will tell you there are plenty of prosecutors who would have brought that case under the espionage act, and here you have loretta lynch, politically interfering with an fbi

investigation and comey at the time was so upset about it, he was thinking of calling a special prosecutor himself. >> sean: all right, guys. great work. we will keep reporting, i know you guys will. what the rest of the media is ignoring and frankly has upside down and backwards. thank you both. when we come back, i want to give you my take on megyn kelly's interview with alex jones. w and we need your help with a very important question of the day. straight ahead. the candy cane forest. call geico and see how easy it is to switch and save on homeowners insurance.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity." nbc news aired megyn kelly's much talked about interview with alex jones, and of course, it all leads to a common style of the mainstream left wing destroyedd media interview. it raises a question. do right down the networks now in the day and age of having websites, do they have an obligation to release the full interview?
10:58 pm
that's tonight's mini monologue. during last night's interview, megyn kelly pressed jones on some of his conspiracy theories, but out of the hours of video they taped, nbc only aired a few minutes of it. jones has called for nbc to release the full unedited version of the interview, and by the way, in this case, i have to agree. whether you agree or disagree with him, this is the right thing to do. i want to be very clear. i am in no way, as some in social media have suggested, being critical of my colleague and someone i've been friends with megyn kelly. she is a journalist who is doing her job, but, i do believe nbc news should release the tapes, the full tapes, of the alex jones interview. let americans decide. isn't that what websites are now four? shouldn't nbc let you, the american public, see everything that was said, and then they can decide for themselves what to think please. i'mo a little sick and tired of the mainstream media, editing
10:59 pm
interviews tom fit a predetermined narrative like we do. i'm not saying megyn kelly did this, and i really hate to disappoint all the people in the media that would love to see a battle and fight break out between megyn kelly, that's not happening. i truly wish her the best, but you may remember, just a few months ago back in march, i was the focus of fake edited news. i had agreed to do an interview with cvs and their special contributor. the interview lasted nearly 50 minutes as we discussed in great detail many things. the divide in america, politics, and media. the interview airs, i get 70 seconds of the interview. afterof which i call for cbs to release the full video which of course they refused to do, and that brings us too tonight's question of the day. should nbc release the tapes, especially in the day and age were all of these news organizations have websites? all you have to do is put it up there. go d to facebook.com/hannity.
11:00 pm
that's all the time we have left this evening. as always, thank you for being balanced, thank you for being willis, fair and balanced always. to see you night. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." most people were horrified by last week's assassination attempts on her republican members of congress, which wounded five people and nearly killed house majority whip stev. but most people apparently does not include some people, including new jersey democratic strategist jim devine. after the shooting, he tweeted this, "we are in a war with selfish, narcissistic rich people. why is it a shock when things turned violent, #hunterrepublicancongressman ." after many people reacted, he did
