tv   Hannity  FOX News  August 2, 2017 10:00pm-11:00pm PDT

10:00 pm
full term in office. he had won a landslide victory, he was a shoe in, and he said he was done. in that way he said he could best honor the people who he served. >> greg: "hannity" is up next. >> sean: , thanks to our friends on "the five." robert muller, he has yet another democratic donor to his investigative team. tonight we will be exposing how the special counsel is now carrying out what is a political witch hunt.. we will explain why it needs to be shut down. a hannity special investigation. also, former obama aides in congress, in the cross hairs over unmasking. sarah carter has all the details. her brand-new explosive report about the former obama national security advisor ben rhodes being now a person of interest in a congressional probe. plus, gregg jarrett, jay
10:01 pm
sekulow, sarah huckabee sanders, lou dobbs, all here withar reaction. but first, we have aon really important opening monologue. all right, for months, the establishment destroyed trumped trump media and democrats havehi been hysterical, breathless, pushing all kinds of conspiracy theories. they are hoping and praying that there would be the smoking gun on trump and collusion and russia. so far, they have not found anything solid. it is mostly wild accusations and innuendo. while they are obsessing over russia, every single second of the day, the establishment media, the left, have been completely ignoring what we are telling you on this program. that is the construction of one of the biggest political witch hunts in the history of this country. i am now talking about the special counsel, robert mueller, and his massive conflicts of interest, and frankly inexcusable investigative creep. it is time for mueller's political crusade to be shut down once and for all.
10:02 pm
it is time for congress, republicans in particular, to reassert their authority and start investigating actual crimes and actual collusion. this is why it is important. as we have been telling you, robert mueller, he has several huge, massive conflict of interest. as my friend and colleague gregg jarrett pointed out, mueller's relationship with the former fbi director, jamesle comey, the star witness of the case, could be a violation of not one, but two laws. earlier this week, congressman trent franks, called for mueller to resign. then there is the fact that the day before mueller was appointed to special counsel, before hand he interviewed with president trump for fbi director. he should not have taken that interview if he knew he was going to be considered as special counsel. from there, it only gets worse. mueller has now assembled what
10:03 pm
is shaping up to be a democratic hit squad that has donated thousands and thousands of dollars to democrats, including hillary clinton and barack obama. now, this is stunning. eight of the 16 members that mueller has hired, a massive team, have made political donations to democrats. does that sound fair, impartial? the other eight, they haven't donated at all. according to public records that we have seen. are we really to believe that mueller could not find nonpartisan people who have not openly supported democrats? let's name some names. we're going to show you exactly who these investigators are, how much they have donated.wh former watergate prosecutor, he has donated over $30,000 to democrats over the past 30 years, that includes giving money to hillary clinton and barack obama.rcr she has dished out over $9,000 to the democrats.
10:04 pm
get this, this is the biggest conflict. she has even done legal work for the clinton foundation. how does that not immediately disqualify her from working for the special counsel? then there is andrew weisman, his donation has given $4,000 to both clinton and obama, and it is argued that he has serious ethical concerns. he has donated $3700 to the democrats. andrew goldstein, he gave the democratsav 3,300 bucks. $486 to democrats including obama. and $200 to hillary clinton.n. here is the big picture
10:05 pm
how is any of this acceptable?s if the tables were turned, and these people were investigating a democrat, there would be a national average. it is time to end the political witch hunt. the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, he has an obligation to shut this down. congress, they need to make sure it stays that way. otherwise, they are endorsing a two-tiered justice system, one that is unfair, unethical, and clearly has political motivations and political factors. also tonight, our other massive breaking news story, that is tha depth of the obama administration unmasking, and their scandal is now coming into focus tonight. it should concern deeply every single one of you watching. circa.com, sarah carter will be with us in a minutes. she is reporting that former national security advisor ben rhodes is now a person ofsh interest in the house intelligence committee's investigation.
10:06 pm
ben rhodes, the latest obama aid that is facing scrutiny. congress is also looking for more information on unmasking. remember susan rice, samantha power, "the hills" john solomon reported that the former director of national intelligence, james clapper, made it easier for officials in the executive branch to unmask members of congress and their staffers. by the way, big surprise, james clapper, now a contributor for the fake news network. news today, james comey, he is writing a book that will be released in the spring. i told you this was going to happen months ago. let's go to the videotape. what did i say the day after he got fired. comey will get a multimillion dollar deal, a movie, a miniseries, primetime special,
10:07 pm
diane sawyer, and probably an msnbc contributor ship. now you have klapper over at the fake news network. he is apparently trying to take down the present, and to do down the president, and to do that, this has become a lucrative profession. if you make it easier to unmask americans, i guess you get hired by fake news cnn. y you gather information that you leak to "the new york times," government information, classified information, potentially break the law, you get a huge book deal. we have been calling for real crimes, real collusion to be investigated, the house republicans, you need to do your job. finally, the house judiciary committee they are now calling for the second special counsel to be appointed to investigate hillary clinton, james comey, loretta lynch, things we have been asking for. as we said, congress should not stop there. it is time to use their subpoena power and have people now testify under oath. that should include, top clinton campaign officials, john podesta, put them under oath.
10:08 pm
did they know about ukraine and collusion, were they given any information? also, debbie wasserman shultz, is she ever going to explain why she kept paying her i.t. staffer while under federal investigation for double billing and much more? and james comey, and loretta lynch, remember comey testified that loretta lynch pressured him to call the clinton email investigation a matter. and loretta lynch, of course, met with bill clinton on a tarmac, totally inappropriate pit didan did the former attorney general obstruct justice? and hillary clinton, she needs to question answers about her email scandal. uranium one. why did she delete 33,000 emails? why did she acid wash and bleach bit hard drives? why did she in fact, according to reports, smashed devices witd hammers, and have her staff do it, and send devices to the fbi that did not have sim cards in it.
10:09 pm
what about all of the pay to play in the clinton foundation? you give vladimir putin up to 20% of our uranium, the foundational material for nuclear weapons? this is important for this reason, if we care about justice, and the rule of law in this country, this all needs to happen.ut i know the mainstream media is ignoring it, we will not. you deserve to have answers, because you have been lied to. real crimes, real evidence is now being ignored, and as you know, we are not, i am not going to stop asking questions.eded i will not stop demanding i answers until we get the truth. if the media and the department of justice and congress don't want to act, we will continue tt do their job until they do do their job. and finally since the mainstream media won't talk about it, take a look at the side of your screen. they won't mention the success. look at the economy. it has been roaring under president trump. dow jones closed about 22,000. six day in a row record.
10:10 pm
unemployment, all-time lows in the modern era. obama regulations got it. gone, goodbye. gdp, no one protected even 3% growth, we are very close, 2.6%. foxconn pledged jobs that will lead toward energy independence. that's what we should focus on pure you will never hear it from the establishment fake news media. with reaction, sarah carter,r, president trump's attorney, jay sekulow. fox news anchor, attorney, gregg jarrett. sarah, let's start with your story, ben rhodes. >> it keeps expanding, sean. what we have seen, first, it was susan rice. national security advisor susan rice. then we saw ambassador at samantha power. then it became cia director john brennan. w now, it has expanded to ben rhodes, who worked closely with
10:11 pm
obama and susan rice. this is important. what they are asking for is the full year, from january 2016 up, until january 20th, 2017, they want to know how many times ben rhodes unmask americans, what was he looking at, and for what purpose, and why. if it wasn't dealing with specific national security issues, that becomes a very serious problem, and it also shows what they have been discovering, apparently and allegedly, that they weren't just looking at this national security -- >> sean: if they eased those rules. >> what we have seen since 2011, a 320% increase in unmasking. specifically after the election, that increased exponentially.ft the increased exponentially without explanation. remember, when those rules were relaxed, they could basically
10:12 pm
sign off. they did not have to file 80 pages like an analyst would at the cia. it was just a need to know. >> sean: i have to ask you about robert mueller. w you have pointed out the laws, and congressman frank has picked up on real laws that he is breaking if he stays in that position. are these felony, misdemeanors or what? >> you basically get fired. if you violate this law, because it is a special counsel law that says if you have a conflict of interest, you shall not serve. it is mandatory and language. it is not optional, or discretionary. in my columns, as i pointed out the conflict of interest, i have not argued that there should be no special prosecutor, instead it is robert mueller who is the wrong special prosecutor. because of his close relationship with comey. it is even worse than that.
10:13 pm
mueller's boss, rod rosenstein,, he also has a disqualifying conflict of interest, because he too is a witness in a case having authored the memo and the firing of james comey. neither of these individuals have any respect for the law, they are ignoring it deliberately.id finally now, some are saying this man should resign and i think it is gaining strength. >> sean: let me ask big picture stuff if i can. i know your position, you probably don't want to talk about specifics. but, if i mention ukraine, and uranium one, and deleting emails, and bleach bit, and hammer smashing, and destroying, in the case of debbie wasserman shultz, hard drives, and unmasking, and leaking intelligence, and comey, the general counsel of the fbi, wow. how is it that it is not being discussed in many places besides here?
10:14 pm
>> hopefully it's not being discussed because it is being thoroughly investigated by the federal bureau of investigation and the department of justice. you can be hopeful on that. i can't say that that is happening, i have no knowledge of that. but, if you look at the whole h scenario, you just laid out, especially now with the unmasking situation, what is the justification that is going to be put forward by the previous administration for having samantha powers, the u.n. ambassador having access to unmasking? there is no possible justification for this. and what is the justification for a 360% increase in the number of american citizens who are unmasked? what is the justification for the change in the rules that were in existence for decades? what was the justification for the change of the rules of sharing information to other agencies, going from three to 17. days before the obama administration leaves office.
10:15 pm
what is the justification for any of this? if you look at it rationally, legally, and you look at what is happening here, there is a major play with the national securityy apparatus that was exposing americans to surveillance as what it appears to be here. justification for this, iif think they will be hard-pressed to put one fourth. >> sean: stay right there, we will have more with sarah, greg, jake. the woman who has the toughest job in america will join us, we will tell you who straight ahead. where are we?

10:19 pm
to more companies, in more locations, than centurylink. we do business where you do business. ♪ ♪ >> sean: welcome back to "hannity," as we continue now with sarah carter, jay sekulow and gregg jarrett. we talked about samantha powers, susan rice, we talked about james clapper, now we are talking about james ben rhodes. this is slowly been coming out, we have unmasking, real crimes being committed, 125 leaks -- intelligence leaks and 126 days. that is abuse of the power we give the intelligence committee. it puts everyone's freedoms, fourth amendment constitutional rights and jeopardy. how much further is this going to go?e' are we going to discover a systematic effort to violate the constitutional rights of americans so they can spy on political opponents in a political season?
10:20 pm
is that where i think this is headed? >> i certainly hope that the committee makes this public as much as they can. what they're looking for, the correlation between what was unmasked and what was leaks. i think when that is discovered, and that is revealed, if that proves to be true, it is going to answer a lot of questions.ea is going to answer a lot of questions as to whether our intelligence community and our intelligence apparatus was being used for political espionage, and that is the question that people want answered. >> sean: the 99% of our intelligence community that w risks their lives for us, they are great, but if we use those tools against americans, that is a foundation for a police state. they are spying on you and youor don't have a constitutional fourth minute rights. jay, let me ask, more and more people are coming out to me saying, you talk about all these other issues, how is it possible that we don't know if they are being investigated. if i turn on another channel or
10:21 pm
read a newspaper, all i hear about is russia. how did we get to this place? >> i think what has happened is, if you look at what has taken place within the intelligence community, 99% of the people do a fantastic job, but it doesn't take even 1%, it only takes a couple of bad actors to put thee national security apparatus at risk. as you look at renewals of various laws that impact surveillance, and the concerns that members of congress are raising, i think the constitutional republicans are put at risk when you take this laissez-faire attitude with the normal procedures put in place in order to do this. that is the irony. mentioned earlier, 80 pages of documents needed to fill out an order to do this, then it became a stroke of a pen. that is not the way the system is set up to operate, that is not the way the constitution operates.. certainly not the fourth amendment. >> sean: i went to a list of names, and the various scandals, ukraine, uranium one, deleting
10:22 pm
emails, obstruction of justice, unmasking, leaking of intelligence, debbie wasserman shultz, and i want all of them put under oath, they should be. where are the republicans? >> the republicans are finally making a move. the house judiciary committee sent a stern letter to the department of justice demanding a second special counsel be appointed to investigate comey, loretta lynch, some at the powers, the list goes on and on. >> sean: how about hillary clinton! she get away with uranium one? does she get away with smashing hard drives and bleach bit? >> millions of documents that were apparently hidden by hillary clinton and not turned over pursuant to a subpoena. the content of these documents, my goodness. in one of them, she gets a million dollars from a telecom executive who want something in return.
10:23 pm
he wants to be able to influence the election of an ambassador. that is called pay to play. that is a crime if proven. >> sean: my last question, we never have enough time, do you think i will be proven right on the scandals versus the only russian story? >> i think so. there have been years of investigation and the story, zero. >> we can't say this definitively, but if the fbi still has the clinton foundation under investigation, allegedly, if all of the things are coming to pass are true, then you may just be right, sean. >> sean: uranium one is the big issue, but they are all big. jay, do you think i will be proven right? >> i think you will. it sounds like in the next coming days there will be an announcement for theou attorney general regarding leaks. that could be a big issue, we have speculation on who may be involved, but if it proves to be true, it may be the biggest

>> life from america's news headquarters i am jackie yvonne is in new york. the new white house chief of staff john kelly calling attorney general jeff sessions this weekend that his job is safe. the support comes after president trump publicly criticized sessions because of the attorney general's decision to recuse himself from the russia investigation. meanwhile, a senior u.s. official says washington is looking to get north korea suspended from asia's biggest security form. as part of an effort to isolate pyongyang, to abandon its nuclear weapons program. in an unprecedented heat wave in the pacific northwest, a region
10:29 pm
known for its cool weather. forecasters are predicting triple digit temperatures this week, making seattle hotter than phoenix for a couple of days. the average temperature usually around 64 degrees. i'm jackie yvonne is, for all of your headlines log on to foxnews.com. >> about a month ago, i was an elected member of congress. i don't know how you run saying something for seven years if, saying you will repeal obamacare, and given the senate, house. and then you don't follow through on your promise. that is the sort of thing thatth haunts you. i do think they should continue to work on health care. >> sean: that was the office of management and budget director mick mulvaney. saying that republican congress will be hurt if they do not repeal obamacare. here with reaction, former presidential candidate herman mccain. i'm sure you can rant and rave how pathetic they are.
10:30 pm
how weak they are.an how they are a party with no identity. do they have to count on trillion dollars in savings, how important is it for them to go back to the drawing board and do their job? >> critical. they can walk and chew gum at the same time. they can work on two critical issues at the same time. mick mulvaney is exactly right. they have to get this done. now, it was john mccain that stabbed america in the back, but all of the republicans are going to take the fall for it. that is simply not fair. they need to go back and retool and try this again. replacement, simplification and reform, that is the other critical one. they pull those two off, the american people will forget about that failure to hit a grand slam, the first time around but they will not forget the republicans couldn't even
10:31 pm
get to first base. >> sean: my next question, lindsey graham is proposing this idea. on the surface, people like yourself and i would say, what a great idea. federalism. send it back to the states, let them decide it. vermont want to have a single-payer, vermont has a single-payer. california, who cares what they do, i will never live there. ever. i am not paying their state income tax.-p but here's the point, the problem is, they are not going to repeal all of the obama era regulations, and why do i suspect, herman, i don't know why i am so suspicious, that they are going to overspend like they always do, and we are still going to end up paying more.go >> yep. the reason, sean, is that when the democrats say they want to work with republicans, they now say they want to work with republicans to fix obamacare,, obamacare can't be fixed. when the democrats talk about,ba they want to work with
10:32 pm
republicans, even if it does go back to the states, that is not the issue. w they are saying, if you do it our way, and you keep a lot of the controls in that we put on the american people, we might vote with you, so i would say as to the republicans, don't be fooled by another trojan horse a that the democrats are trying to push on you because you couldn't get it across the finish line for that first time around. they say they want to work with republicans, but if you look at the history the only way they work with republicans is when they are able to get some of their control over the people and their taxes. >> sean: it's time for them to get there you know what together. get their act together. do your job. this is pathetic. grow up, and don't go on vacation until you do your job. by the way, subject yourself to
10:33 pm
the same laws that you subject americans to. it's on believable. >> i believe that america, the american people would applaud if president trump does not allow them to get special subsidies relative to health care until they fix it for everybody. that would be a hip hip hooray for and by the american people. >> sean: i wish he would go to the white house. herman cain, good to see you. that is a man that has ideas, thinks out-of-the-box, that represents conservative views. health savings account, the penny plan, building a wall, energy independence, where is that, republican party? when we come back, she has thehe toughest job in america. we will tell you what it is next. ob i growing up, we were german. we danced in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen. when i first got on ancestry i was really surprised that i wasn't finding all of these germans in my tree. i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna. the big surprise was we're not german at all.

>> if you want to talk further about a relationship with russia, look no further than clintons. we talked time and time again, the distinction directly.n. you want to create a narrative that does not exist. it often takes place by the news media. >> sean: those were a few highlights from the day in the life of the white house press secretary sarah huckabeeee sanders, who has the toughest job in washington, probably america. earlier today, she was joined at the podium by senior policy advisor stephen miller. he faced off against fake news cnn's jim acosta. over president trump's merit
10:38 pm
based reform proposal. this is awesome, watch this. >> jim, i appreciate your speech, so let's about this. in 1970, wheeler and 300,000 people a year, without violating or not violating the statute of liberty law of the land? and 1990s, when it was half aor million a year, was it violating or not violating the liberty law of the land. tell me what years meet jim acosta's definition of the statute of liberty home off the land. do you at cnn really not know the difference between green card policy and immigration. card policy and illegal immigration. i am shocked at your statement, that you think the only people from great britain and australia would know english.e it actually, it reveals your cosmopolitan bias to a shocking degree. >> it seems as if you are trying to engineer the racial and ethnic flow of people into this country this country. >> that is one of the most
10:39 pm
outrageous, insulting, ignorant, and foolish things you have ever said. >> sean: wow. fighting back, finally. earlier tonight, we spoke with house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders. sarah, great to see you, i really do believe, we do a pretty good job of calling out the lies, misinformation, lack of priorities, absolute bias and ideology of the media. you are with them every single day.th i don't know how you do this job, you've got to help us out. >> you think i have one of the toughest jobs in america, i think i have one of the most fun jobs in america. i get to work for the president of the united states. he has had an incredible first six months in office, he is going to have an incredible seven and a half years, it is an honor and a privilege to come out and share his message with the american people every day. i am excited to be here and be part of his team. >> sean: i want to ask you this, lately, the white house, yourself, steve miller,
10:40 pm
sebastian gorka, kellyanne conway, you seem willing to go out and say, we are going to call you out on air to your face. s i doubt cnn is going to run the exchange with stephen miller today. >> they may run an editedd version, but my guess it isn't the one where stephen miller puts him in his place. >> sean: he really does. at any point do you get frustrated. i have been in talk radio for 30 years, and there are times i met some people trying to get underr your skin, i have built up immunities do you ever find yourself getting frustrated up there? >> every once in a while, of course there is a certain level of frustration. look, i know the american people, they did a poll not too long ago, they care about health care, they care about jobs, the economy, immigration. they don't care about russia. they don't care about who has a job in the white house. they care about who has a job at their house. those are the issues they were like for us to be able to talk about, and fortunately, we havei a roomful of people that refuses
10:41 pm
to ask questions that america cares about. it is more about tv star moment, more about sound bites for evening news, and i think that is a sad disservice that some in the media are doing for the american people. hopefully, we get to come out and be on shows like yours, and we get to respond. that is one of the reasons you have seen us fight back a littls bit stronger, because it is important for us to get the message out there, but it is also important for us to push back on some of the ridiculous, bias we get from the media. >> sean: it seems like the issue is palace intrigue, or they want to talk about russia, russia. what do you want the american people, after 11 months, nonstop coverage, no evidence of collusion, but there is real evidence with ukraine, you pointed that out yesterday, what do you want the american people to know about what they're media is telling them? >> i think one of the biggest things that you see is, you have a media that is incredibly obsessed with the idea of russia. i think that is in large part because they are trying to justify the last 11 months that
10:42 pm
they have wasted talking about it. they know that there is nothingg there, i think they see that day after day after day. they are looking for a way to t justify their time and effortr that they have spent wasting away on this topic. they ought to be focused on the things that they administration is actually doing. the dow hit 22,000 today, that is huge. unemployment is at the lowest it has been in 16 years. the economy is on the right track, they should be talking about the spirit they should be so dreading that.se they should be talking about the successes of this president, and they refused to do so because they were wrong in november, and they have been wrong every day since. >> sean: i was very glad, because one of the things i pointed out in this program, we did put up some of the president successes on air, only a smallll list. but we will also put the full list on the air, i don't see anybody else in the media doing that. with all of the issue, they only want to talk about russia, but here we have a dnc operative inside the ukraine embassy, wit, ukrainian ambassador, a real
10:43 pm
