8:00, the sworn enemy of lying. good night from washington. sean hannity next from new york city. hey, sean. >> sean: hey, tucker. great show. welcome to "hannity." this is a fox news alert. u.s. senate candidate judge roy moore is deny ago "washington post" report where a now adult woman accuses him of sexual misconduct from when she was 14 years old. these allegations date back to 1979 38 years ago when moore was 32. three women are telling the "washington post" that during that time period, moore pursued them when they were 16, 17 and 18 years old. we invited judge moore and the women accusing him on the show tonight. and lewis ck is under fire over sexual misconduct allegations coming from five women that surfaced in an explosive "washington post" report.

we'll break it all down in tonight's breaking news opening monologue. all right. tonight before we explain the allegations judge roy moore and louis c.k., i want to be crystal clear. i said this repeatedly on my radio show today. people on the left are trying to take it out of context when i speak about this for nearly two hours. geraldo is a witness. if what people are accused of is true, it's beyond reprehensible. beyond disgusting, beyond shameful. in the case of judge moore, if it's true, he should step aside and leave the senate race. everyone would agree a 32-year-old man pursuing a 14-year-old girl is disgusting. that's something that we should all agree on. this should transcend politics. however, everyone has the right to defend their name. our goal on this show is always to find the truth. here's the allegations tonight. a woman is alleging to "the washington post" that back in 1979 when she was 14 years old, she had a sexual encounter.

actually two of them with roy moore. the woman alleged that moore kissed her. in another occasion, that moore touched her and guided her hand to touch him. she claimed no other sexual conduct took place. she described the incident to "the washington post" by stating "i wanted it over with, i wanted out. just get this over with. whatever it is, get it over." the woman said that she asked moore to take her home which he did. three other more are accusing him of sexual misconduct. the women are alleging that moore pursued romantic relationships with them and one allegation involved kissing. judge moore tonight is adamantly denying the allegations against him. he told "the washington post" "these allegations are false and they are a desperate political attack by the national democratic party and "the washington post" on this

campaign". in a separate state, moore said "the washington post" has endorsed the opponent of moore and they have had a systematic campaign to distort the truth about the judge's record and career and derail his campaign. two days ago, the foundation for moral law sent a retraction demand for the false stories they wrote about the judge's work. they call this garbage the definition of fake news and intentional defamation. judge moore tweeted the obama, clinton machines, liberal media lap dogs have launched the most vicious and nasty round of attacks against me i have ever faced. we're in the midst of a spiritual battle with those that want to silence our message. the forces of evil will lie, cheat, steal, inflict physical harm if they believe it was silence and shut up christians, conservatives like you and me. i believe you and i have a duty

to stand up and fight back against the forces of evil waging a war on our conservative values. our nation is at acrossroads right now spiritually and politically. our children and grandchildren's futures are on the line. rest assured, i will never give up the fight. these are very serious allegations. of course they have to be investigated to the fullest extent. we're finding out almost every single day now sexual misconduct, sexual abuse, it's a widespread problem in this country. it's morally repugnant. in any of these cases, it's sometimes you have to look at the truth here. how do we ascertain what happened 38 years ago? i'm a father of a daughter. i'm a brother to sisters. it's scary when you hear about these predators. with these allegations against judge moore, this happened 38, nearly 40 years ago. at the same time, this is a very delicate question, but we have

to bring it up. do some women wait because they're too scared? too upset? too traumatized to come forward? as i said on my radio show tonight, of course they're afraid. i can understand that. we can all understand why no one would want to come forward and speak about such trauma. on the other hand, we have to pursue truth, which at times can be very difficult like threading a needle. it's a razor's edge. if in this case let's say the allegations turned out to be not true, where would judge moore to go to get his good name back before an election december 12? the bottom line, this should be a nonpartisan issue. we should be for civil rights and a civil society. petty politics should be put aside. i want to give you a quick history lesson they learned early on. office local radio host in atlanta. rich richard jewel? they thought he was the hero first. i was on the radio the morning that the atlanta journal constitution said that richard

jewel who we thought was a hero fit the profile of the lone bombner the 1996 olympics case because jewell lived with his mother. i didn't know it at the time. richard jewell was listening to my radio show when i said wait a minute. because he lives with his mother doesn't mean he's a bomber. i said it on the air at the time. just because you live with your mother doesn't make you a bomber. many people were quick to rush to judgment. back in 1997, i had the chance to interview jewell. i didn't know he was listening to my show at the time. he said at the time that the reason he gave me one of the first interviews is because i was the only one in the media that didn't rush to judgment. incredible lesson. watch this. >> richard jewell, 33, a former law enforcement officer fits the profile of the lone bomber. this profile includes a white man, a former police officer a member of military or police want-to-be who seeks to become a

hero. you see that in the newspaper. what did you think? >> well, you know, it wasn't me. you know, i'd like to know where they got their profile from. you know, several parts of that, you know, police want-to-be. in the state of georgia, i'm a certified peace officer. i'm just not currently working for a police department. >> sean: this case in my life in 1996 -- changed my life. it made me realize you cannot rush to judgment. let's look at examples where many of my so-called colleagues and others rush to judgment. look at the duke lacrosse case. i didn't rush to judgment. college students had their lives ruineded when they were falsely accused to rape. they were convicting these kids before the truth ever came out. no benefit of the reasonable doubt. no presumption of innocence. a group of 88 duke professors

without any evidence signed their names to a paid advertisement in a duke school newspaper that read "regardless of the results of the police investigation, as a parent every day now is the anger and fear of many students that know themselves to be objects of racism and sexism who see illuminated in this moment's extraordinary spotlight what they live with every day." that was a rush to judgment. and i said it was at the time. almost everybody smeared and slandered those three duke lacrosse players, wanted to throw them in jail. turned out they didn't do it. how many times have you heard me condemn former president obama that he rushed to judgment in high profile race cases while ignoring massive amounts of violence in his adoptive hometown of chicago. you may remember this. >> the cambridge police acted stupidly. there's a long history in this country of african americans and

latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. that's just a fact. the african american community is knowledgeable that there is a history of racial disparities in the application of our criminal laws. there's a big chunk of our fellow citizenry that feels as if because of the color of their skin they are not being treated the same. >> sean: the president, a lawyer, from that position rushed to judgment every time. as i pointed out many times was completely wrong every time. hands up, don't shoot turned out to be a lie. george zimmerman was found innocent in the trayvon martin case by a jury of his peers. all of the cops in the freddie gray case were acquitted. i was right on all of these cases. in other words, one of the reasons i have been right in so

many of my bratty friends in the media that are overpaid like fake jake tapper, they rush to judgment. i don't. jake, listen to the two hours of my radio show today. it's one of the reasons we have been more right than wrong. we're not always right. when we're wrong, we'll tell you. we here on this program, we didn't say hands up don't shoot. we were right on freddie gray and the cambridge police. every person in this country deserves the presumption of innocence with the allegations against judge moore, none of us know the truth of what happened 38 years ago. the only people that know that are the people involved in this incident. another perfect example. when it came -- some say hannity when it came to bill clinton's sexual misconduct, hillary called it a conspiracy. never called out her husband. unlike the left, i actually worked, reported, did my research. i went and interviewed all of these women. i looked them in the eyes.

interviewed them. let them share their stories. i i'd my job. they should do theirs in the media. >> you described the scene where he was biting on your lip and when it was all over, he was leaving. said you better put some ice on that. >> yeah. and casually put on his sunglasses and walked out the door. >> it was a terrible ordeal for me. no woman should be subjected to it. it was an assault. >> he assaulted yes? >> yes. >> he touched, grabbed, fondled and kissed you against your will? >> yes. >> it's an allegation that is not made by one woman, but multiple women. >> many of us. >> he pulled down his -- he sat down, pulled down his pants, his -- everything. he was exposed. i said i'm not that kind of girl. i need to be getting back to my desk. >> sean: many of these cases, democrat for politics, political reasons said these women should

not be believed. i don't think they ever interviewed him. james carville said he drag add $100 bill through a trailer park for paula jones. we can't forget the clinton foundation. really? democrats care so much? on this show we have been the most outspoken about hillary taking millions of dollars from countries like saudi arabia, qatar, kuwait, the uae. they have the most horrendous human rights records in terms of how they abuse women. how they kill gays and lesbians for being who they are and christians and jews. i don't remember anybody else in the media talking about it. nobody should be pointing fingers and passing judgment. we have to know the truth. this is an issue that transcend political ideology. sadly sexual misconduct in america is rampant.

dustin hoffman apologized after two women accused him of sexual misconduct. they admitted it. kevin spacey accused of a costing young teen boys. remember roman polaniski? he pled guilty to raping a 13-year-old girl after he gave her quaaludes and booze. was quoted as saying "afterwards she's a double victim." he still escaped from justice. and of course, we all know now about the allegations swirling around harvey weinstein that also checked into rehab. and lewis c.k. is convicted of committing multiple act of lewd conduct. i can't stand louis c.k. does he deserve the presumption of innocence? everybody america done. we invited him to come on.

the accusers of judge moore are welcome here. this brings us to judge moore. any accusation of sexual misconduct is beyond deeply disturbing. i say that as a father, as a brother. every person in this country deserves the right, the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. we should have learned a lot from duke and a lot from ferguson and a lot from what happened in florida with trayvon martin. we should have learned a lo with the cambridge police. should have learned a lot from a lot of people. however some members of congress seem to have forgotten this basic right, even john mccain. he said the allegations are deeply disturbing and disqualifying. the allegations? he should step aside and allow the people of alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of. what happened, senator, to the presumption of innocence? what if someone came out tomorrow and said something about you that was false, senator mccain? we don't know. we have to stand up against

predatory behavior. as i said, these are complicated issues. more complicated. i would ask every american, learn the lesson that i learned in atlanta. learn the lesson that i have now applied to all of these cases and why i turn out more often right than wrong than my media friends who always rush to judgment. you have to make a decision. go interview these people and make another decision. base it on your own experience, your fact, your believe ability, the people you talk to like i did when i interviewed juanita broderick and paula jones and many of the other women that accused bill clinton. here with reaction tonight, fox news analyst, geraldo rivera, mercedes cohen. i have to start with a personal issue with you. media matters has been on a witch hunt to get me fired. i did almost two hours on radio on this topic. did i sound any different than what i sounded like on tv? >> absolutely not. i lament the fact that people are seizing on what i do believe was a -- you misspoke in one

sentence. >> one sentence. do i deserve two hours of radio? >> the clarity of it is, you said that -- your subject, the person you interviewed, said it was consensual -- >> i thought she was talking about the 18-year-old and the 17-year-old. >> regardless, we clear it up. you cannot consent if you're under age. it's impossible. you know that. >> sean: the one line was wrong. >> the entire thrust of your show was to say how deplorable if true these allegations -- >> sean: the one line was wrong. i misspoke. >> the reaction is symptomatic of a larger situation. we have a tendency to believe what we want to believe and disbelieve what we don't want to believe. the classic example is bill clinton and the oval office. we didn't believe the paula jones and them. yet the trump allegation theres the hotel room in moscow much

more farceical and denied as opposed to proven facts in the clinton oval office. in moscow, you hate trump, you want to believe that something bad went down, something, you know, seedy went down. i don't like roy moore's politics. i don't like his position on gays and muslims. i want to believe this is true about roy moore because i don't like him. but you have to stop yourself and say what it is -- what is provable, what is not provable? what about the statute of limitations? 38 years. is there -- did she write a note, have a diary, tell her mom? what happened exactly -- >> sean: called her mom ten years later. >> that's why you have statutes of limitations. witnesses are unreliable,

et cetera. >> sexual harassment is real. there's predators out there. as a father, it scares the crap out of me. does. are there also times in duke where people make false allegations? are there times when people lie for political purposes? >> undoubtedly, sean. i represented hundreds of corporate executives that have been accused of sexual misconduct. when they get these individuals in the courtroom, when you get them under cross examination, they fall apart. they're flexing their muscles, lawyered up, fighting for their right. i've been victimized. this is what happened to me. if they fall apart because -- >> sean: you have seen hundreds of these cases? >> yes. >> sean: have people lied for money? >> undoubtedly. and the reputational risk is at hand. the brand of the corporations are at hand. so many cases, especially now in the climate we're in, people are say maybe we should settle

before the complaints are filed. once it's filed, it's like the allegations become suddenly actually occurred and it's not true. >> sean: you're not a fan of judge moore. you said it on this program. >> i did. before the primary actually. >> sean: i remember. >> unfit to serve because not once but twice he was removed from office for defying federal judicial decisions on constitutional matters which he add not allowed to do under the supremacy clause. having said that, i'm suspicious of this. because of the source. "the washington post" which has a dog in this fight having endorsed his opponent. the timing of it on the eve of an election. and finally, he was a huge and has been a huge public figure in alabama. the best known son of alabama in many ways. yet none of this came to surface in almost four decades. so that gives me reason to question the credibility of these people.

i'm glad you brought up duke lacrosse. i covered that case. >> sean: i know you did. >> three lives were ruled when crystal magnum lied about accusations of rape. she's now behind bars and convicted of murder. >> i didn't know that. >> killed her boyfriend. >> stabbed him to death. >> sean: i learned -- richard jewell woke me up. when he told me -- i remember the first time i talked to him. he goes thank you. thank you. you're like -- they were crucifying this guy. then he became the profile of a lone bomber. the atlanta journal constitution. they have since paid a lot of money like the duke lacrosse case. >> the problem is, you make these assumptions and presumptions and proclamations. they're not proof. now we have the academic of sexual harassment allegations

and rape claims among very well known people. what has to happen is you need the same standards in this aspect of criminal law as you do with every other crime. there has to be some corroboration. why not ask for some corroboration? there is a feeding frenzy right now that is extremely distressful to me. i'm not sure that in mercedes case that -- in the hundreds of sexual harassment cases, the complaining witnesses fall apart. some of that is good lawyering. some is effective. there's no evidence to back the claim. i just want us to slow down before innocent lives are ruined. with louis c.k., does doing in real life what his comedy is. that's why -- you know, it's awful, horrifying. yet that's what -- the reason roy moore is so delectable to the left, it's a hypocritical

situation where he's the bible thumper and has this ugly secret if true. i don't know how he proves or disproves it. >> sean: that's the point. once the allegation is made -- it's december 12 is the election. >> it is. >> sean: here we are. november 9. >> the tardiness of this is suspicious. you know, i learned early on trying cases that everybody lies. i hate to say that. >> oh, no, that's not true. >> witnesses lie, parties lie. lawyers lie. these obscene jurors after the verdict lie about what went on in the deliberation room. geraldo knows this. everybody lies. so i believe strongly in the presumption of innocence. yes, i do think that a lot of accusations of sexual abuse are true out there. but not all of them. >> sean: mercedes? >> and i respect obviously everything you said, greg, obviously. but it's challenging in these

times. these accusations just like suddenly they're convictions. they're allegations. there's a due process. it's what you said when it comes to the corroboration. who did you speak to? did you call the authorities? jurors look for that. they look for the corroboration. did you call the police. did you write about it, text anyone? especially now. jurors want to see something material that corroborates those allegations. >> sean: you're doing to stay. not that we don't love you. thank you for being with us. i appreciate it. i did make the mistake the one word. listen to my show and you'll get context. cnn is so lazy. it's spectacularly lazy. they copy the most left wing radicals every day. maybe i have a lawsuit. sebastian gorka later on. hillary clinton finally reacting to the bomb shell claim that she rigged the democratic primary.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity." we continue to cover the breaking news about judge roy moore to step down from the senate race. we're joined by sebastian gorka

and we continue on with mercedes cohen. let's get your general reaction to this. you've been a big supporter of roy moore. he's comes under tremendous fire this entire race, especially john mccain's comments from a political perspective. doesn't matter if it's true. get out of the way. seems like every establishment republican really never liked him and they don't clearly believe in the presumption of innocence, which should be terrifying for every american. >> absolutely, sean. look, this is america. we don't call people guilty before the evidence is in. evidence, the rhinos are going to use this as an excuse a tack somebody like judge roy moore. but let's put this in context. number 1, what is the environment in which these charges are happening? look at the last two years. look at the insanity. look what we have to list through. the outrageous attacks on the president. the attacks on you, the attacks on me. i ignored them. i have friends defend me.

you like the righteous crusader you were, you went back and crushed those liars. now we have to find out what is true and what isn't. is this another smear campaign or is there something there? the most important point is, we're not the dnc. this isn't hillary's war cabinet. we don't cast aspersions on women that accuse men of sexual harassment or impropriety. we listen to them, find out if they're credible. if something needs to be done, that's what we do. we don't turn people away and try to destroy them. let's take a deep breath, count to 10 and find out. >> sean: the election is december 12, a month away. let me turn to mercedes. how many of these cases -- you actually are an expert in this area of law. >> right. >> sean: you do this every day. >> i do. >> sean: what do -- the average person is like every day.

huge, bold allegations. think of duke lacrosse, richard jewell and hands up don't shoot. you think of the fact that it's real. there's predator jerks out there. how do you people know the truth? what are people to think when you have one side saying this, one side saying that? >> thank goodness there's adieu process. >> sean: not in the press. >> not in the press. that's why we can't convict people based on what you read. you have to look at depositions, sworn testimony. you have to be the jurors that get the evidence. but to say the -- >> sean: what is your success rate? you're a successful attorney. >> i have tried 52 trials and lost two. >> sean: 52 and won 50. >> yes. >> sean: what about the cases that get settled? how often do people lie? i don't know the truth. i don't know the answer. i can't say. it seems suspicious because we're a month out of an

election. it's 38 years ago. >> you do. sean, a lot of people are going to say what we said before, the allegations are so stale. why coming now? why are we weeks before this election -- >> sean: can't you understand a woman traumatized sees a guy running for senate. finally says, i'm not going to be silent. i can understand that. >> there is that argument. jurors say wait a minute. you're going to wait 30 years to come forward. did you talk to anybody? did you call the police? >> sean: if this went before a jury, where would it go? >> depends on the credibility of these accusers. if they seem credible and judge moore does not, obviously there's a tipping balance. but a lot of jurors are going to be very suspicious of these accusers saying we waited decades before coming forward. >> sean: dr. gorka, i always say every two years and four years democrats got the same playbook. republicans -- poor mitt romney.

mitt romney, i'm annoyed of how he's treated donald trump but he was a good person at heart. i liked him. i think he would have been a good president. mitt romney had a binder full of women's resumes. remember how he was treated by the democrats? you look at examples like that or herman cain. i'm friends with him. he's going up in the polls. the day he gets out, nothing. you hear nothing. because they accomplished their mission or why? >> look, this is the thing that made andrew breitbart a conservative. the accusations against justin clarence thomas. there's a fact pattern here. there's a very strange propensity of sexual allegations to suddenly become politicallioutful in the run-up to an election or when somebody stands up for the principles of the republic and needs to be taken down. let's get back to the basics of

the republic. we have to have a presumption of innocence. you have to know who is acuesing you and have to do it publicly and has to be evidence. we don't know the facts. the first rule of war, the initial report from the battlefield is almost always wrong. let's stop, find what the facts are. is this person credible. is there any evidence. because -- >> sean: and it is different than weinstein that goes to sex rehab. it's different than dustin hoffman and ben affleck who apologized. it's different than kevin spacey. some people admit it and some people say no. this goes back to what you said. do people do it for money? political reasons? it is more common than people think? >> definitely. they'll do this -- >> sean: they'll lie to make money. >> there are individuals that come forward with these outrageous allegations. >> sean: that hurts all women that are victims. >> yes. i used to work in sex crimes in the d.a.'s office. it's pitful to see that.

some jurors don't believe it because they have -- in their own lives, people have made these accusations for money. you see it time and time again. sexual harassment, that term is coined everywhere. the laws are very clear as to what it takes in order to be a violation of the law. you have to have some sort of damage. these individuals, a lot of these women, it's about money. they bank on the fact that these corporations -- >> sean: and there are women that are victims, predators. >> there are. but very few, far between. >> sean: i suspect the last question, dr. gorka, you think it's politics or you don't know? >> too early to say. let's ignore the press and let's talk about the system. we have to have faith in the system. it's not about smears. it's about facts and time will out the truth. >> sean: thanks, guys. i appreciate it. when we come back, hillary clinton finally responding to former dnc chair woman donna brazile and that she rigged the

election. we battle it out straight ahead.

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity." hillary clinton finally responding to the bomb shell allegations by donna brazile that they colluded to rig the dnc primary. the fake news media were colluding with her. the fix was in. take a look. >> the dnc had a bad couple weeks. donna brazile wrote a book. she was a colleague of yours. in her book she made this comment that your campaign through an agreement had too many influence maybe to the detriment of the sanders campaign. she was back walking now. what was your reaction to that? >> i didn't know what she was referring to. as has come out, that wasn't the case. >> no, they just signed a private agreement. bernie sanders didn't have the agreement. she was in charge of hiring and

the money and everything else. and donna brazile said it was rigged. here's reaction. tommy lauren and -- why are you laugh something. >> what donna brazile said is so laughable. >> so donna brazile is a liar? >> donna brazile made it seem as the 2015 joint fund-raising agreement is what the 2016 -- >> sean: that was -- >> bernie sanders -- >> sean: why did they write an article that that is one of the biggest lies that bernie signed the same thing? it's not true. >> it is true. look at it. he raised zero dollars -- >> sean: so let me -- what you're saying is donna brazile is a liar? that's what you're saying? >> that's what it looks like. >> sean: when she said it was rigged. >> how do you rig four million votes? >> sean: she called bernie sanders -- >> you read that except. she had to light a candle and mood on mood music -- >> sean: i wouldn't want to tell somebody that you don't have a

shot because -- what about hillary controlling the hiring and the finances of the dnc and not bernie? >> but she did after she was the nominee, which is the right of -- >> sean: this is before. >> it was a 2016 agreement, not the 2015 agreement. >> sean: i honestly believe that -- i swear, if the clintons are on national tv and they put a gun at someone's head for no run at all and shoot somebody, the left in this country would defend it. >> look at donna brazile. >> i want to ask, jessica, i want to ask you a question. what do you think the leftist mainstream media would think about donna brazile if we called her a liar? what would they call us? sexist and racist. because your a democrat, you can say that donna brazile is a liar to protect hillary. what world do we live in? >> i don't think the leftest media -- lots of them are hillary defenders and making the same arguments.

i don't think they would call you racist and sexist. the liberal media likes me more than you. that was for sure. >> sean: tommy, i'm sure your feelings -- >> i like you both. i'm saying -- >> tommies the left wing media doesn't like you. shocking. >> add it to the list. it's okay. if the leftist mainstream media doesn't like me it's a victory. >> sean: i see that james comey writes an exoneration of hillary clinton. i see hillary clinton, although she denied it a year, that she paid for this phony russian dossier full of lies about donald trump. and now oh, yeah, it was only research. when she paid for it around denied it. why do you constantly defend people that are known liars?

continually lying. >> are you willing to admit that donald trump is a liar? >> sean: hu about what? >> he was against the iraq war -- >> sean: i know from first hand experience because i used to fight with him on the phone about it. >> what did he say on howard stern? that was invented? >> one of the things that donald trump shouldn't have done is go on howard stern. >> i don't think he knew. >> sean: the point is i know first hand experience. he was talking about taking the oil back in the day. i talked to him about it. first hand experience. >> okay. he went out there -- >> sean: that -- you answer my question. when comey wrote the exoneration before he did his work? is that fix something. >> there's analysts that say there's three people that could have changed the language there with the comey letter. >> sean: but he's writing the exoneration before he did his work or interviewed the people ininvolved. >> i have said i have no problem with an investigation --

>> sean: you have a problem funding the russians when she lied and said she didn't -- >> funding opposition research or meeting with kremlin officials? don jr. is saying let's have a chat. >> sean: fusion gps that she was paying -- we just learned this week that they met with the russian lawyer before and after. hillary was paying them. tommy? >> here's my question for jessica. do you trust hillary clinton? not anybody else, not analysts, you. do you trust hillary clinton? >> with what? >> sean: honesty. is she an honest person? >> i do think that she is an honest person. when you have been in public service for 25 years, 30 years, there's certainly things that i've called her out on and said that's wrong the way she waffled with the e-mail scandal. i called her out about what happened during benghazi. the benghazi scandal. i don't think that hillary clinton knew what was going on with the russian dossier. you want to talk to her lawyer, you can do that if you want to question --

>> sean: tommy, get a response. >> this woman has been lying for decades. the democratic party continues to shield her. you can keep doing it if you want. only going to help news 2020. so keep shielding hillary clinton. keep bubble wrapping her. it's hurting you, not me. >> no. i disagree with you. the woman lost the presidency twice. she's not running for public office ever again. she's mostly in the woods or at her house -- >> sean: you don't think there's anything wrong with her, what turns out she paid for, phony russian information that was used as -- >> she paid for? >> sean: hillary clinton's campaign. >> you think she would do this? >> sean: who knew what's she knew. nobody -- she paid $10 million. >> her campaign did. talk to her campaign lawyer. >> sean: she's her her campaign. i have to roll. good to see you. when i come back, a powerful

>> sean: welcome back to "hannity." it's been a year and a day since donald trump's historic win in the 2016 presidential race.

then candidate donald trump, he swept states that have long eluded the republican party like wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania. he helped the republican party win hundreds of ballot races across america. without a doubt, republicans are propelled to victory because of key promises they made to you the american people over and over again on the campaign trail by president trump and the republicans themselves. 2010. remember? republicans got the house, repeal and replace obamacare. 2014, got the senate. same reason. 2016, they got it all. give us the house, the senate, the white house. we'll do this. now it's time for republicans in congress, especially you lazy people on vacation in the senate all the time, get your act together. you have to make good on these promises. you didn't pass repeal and replace. now you have the tax bill. you either get this done or get out of the way and make room for more effective legislators. that's tonight's mini monologue. last night in our monologue, we

gave you a retrospective on why trump pulled off the historic victory last year. in case you missed it, i called in a fox news on election night to detail what the 2016 election was all about. take you down memory lane. >> to me, this was predictable, but on the other hand, this is a modern-day political miracle you're witnessing before your eyes right now that is to go up against everybody, all the pundits, all the polsters and all the prognosticators and defy all the odds and it's the american people that have said enough is enough. they're tired of the corruption, the cess pool, draining the swamp. you look at wisconsin. what are they saying? they want jobs back. they want more people having jobs. they want america to be energy independent. they're tired of a horrible

educational system. tired of obamacare rates going through the roof. this is not complicated. what is happening now is not working. these guys and donald trump has gone out there and he outworked hillary clinton and he put forward a better agenda. america said enough is enough with failed policy. that's what this election was about. >> sean: all right. in november 2016, the failed policies of president obama were actively hurting this country. remember economic growth anemic. illegal immigration was impacting negatively communities across the country. taxes too high. january 20th, president trump was sworn in and started to fix these problems. while the president has been moving as what i call the speed of trump, congress, republicans have been dragging their feet. the repeal and replace of obamacare died in the united states senate. funding for the border wall postponed some of it. now the senate is planning to

fundamentally alter president trump's tax proposal. we learned earlier today the senate plan will delay the best part of it, the corporate tax cut until 2019? really? by the way, there's three bills that the house has passed that the senate has not picked up. nominees to the president's government that haven't been confirmed. if you're a member of congress, you're in the d.c. swamp or the sewer, listen very closely. i have a message for you spineless republicans. if this delay goes to 2019, it will be rightly interpreted by the american people as a failure of you doing your job on a spectacular level. these tax cuts are crucial to american businesses. these tax cuts are crucial to getting good paying jobs from overseas, the repatriation money. spurring the economy hopefully

for decades to come. it's time for mitch mcconnell, john mccain, stop lecturing us, the american people. time to get to work. i know you say the expectations are too high. if this tax plan gets put off until 2019, you water this down, this failure will be on you, the republican party gets trounced a year from now in the mid-terms. it won't be president trump's fault. it's not my fault. not talk radio's fault. not the fox news channel's fault. it's your fault. you didn't have the courage, the vision, the backbone, the spine, the identity, the courage to put everything on the line for the people you're supposed to serve. the great people of this country. the forgotten men and women of this country who this last election was all about. these are the people that i have spoke about for the past year on food stamps, out of the labor force, in poverty. they're suffering. they don't have time to wait

till 2019. those buying their first home. those are the people you're supposed to serve. you're supposed to be public servants. a year from now if you lose your majority in the house, the senate, specifically the senate, nobody but to blame but yourself. you'll all pay the price and have your colleagues pay the price at the polls next year, a year from now. it will be your fault. wake up or go home. that's my message. that's shaken. tick tok. we'll continue.

we35 mules,ur doors with 70 mega-watts, and an ice plant. but we brought power to the people- redefining what that meant from one era to the next. over 90 years later, we continue to build as america's 3rd largest investor in infrastructure. we don't just help power the american dream... we're part of it. our recent online sales success seems a little... strange?nk na. ever since we switched to fedex ground business has been great. they're affordable and fast...

maybe "too affordable and fast." what if... "people" aren't buying these books online, but "they" are buying them to protect their secrets?!?! hi bill. if that is your real name. it's william actually. hmph! affordable, fast fedex ground. a heart transplant... that's a whole different ballgame. i was in shock. i am very proud of the development of drugs that can prevent the rejection and prevent the recurrence of the original disease. i never felt i was going to die. we know so much about transplantation. and we're living longer. you cannot help but be inspired by the opportunities that a transplant would offer. my donor's mom says "you were meant to carry his story". you may be at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia, that can take you out of the game for weeks, even if you're healthy. pneumococcal pneumonia is a potentially serious

bacterial lung disease that in severe cases can lead to hospitalization. it may hit quickly, without warning, causing you to miss out on the things you enjoy most. prevnar 13® is not a treatment for pneumococcal pneumonia... it's a vaccine you can get to help protect against it. prevnar 13® is approved for adults to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, limited arm movement, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, less appetite, vomiting, fever, chills, and rash. help protect yourself against pneumococcal pneumonia. ask your doctor or pharmacist about prevnar 13®.
