veterans and service members who did so much for us. that's it for us. tune in every night at 8:00 to this show, sworn enemy of smugness. have a great weekend. tonight from washington. hannity is next. n tennessee welcome to hannity and friday night, a fox news alert, awaiting president trumped arrival at the apec summit with world leaders in vietnam, we'll bring it live when he arrives. alabama, u.s. senate candidate judge roy moo denying allegations of sexual misconduct levied against him. i interviewed judge moore on my radio show about the accusations. we'll play it for you in its entirety in a second. the allegations coming from the "washington post" report that says the most serious claim made by a woman who is accusing journal moore of sexual misconduct in 1979 when he was 32 and she was 14 years old. three other women have also told

the "washington post" that moore pursued relations with them when they were 16, 17, and 18 years of age. according to the "new york times" republicans are exploring tonight options to remove judge moore's name off the december 12 special election ballot including by changing the date of that contest to next year. earlier tonight, republican senators mike lee, steve danes, withdrew their endorsement of judge moore. the white house us weighing in, saying that president trump believes if the oceans against moore are proven to be true then the senate candidate should step aside. as i said last night, these are very serious accusations. and if they are true, moore should leave that senate race. if. now, everyone frees 32-year-old man pursuing a 14-year-old girl is despicable and beyond disgusting. and as i also said, both on radio and tv, it is completely understandable why some women because of trauma would wait for years before they came forward. that's understandable.

this is 38 years later. just because the alleged incident happened decades ago doesn't mean it's true or not true. nobody excepting on this knows the truth but the people involved. with all of that in mind, it's important for the media, politicians, i say this all the time, don't rush to judgment. as we have seen time and time again, they often get it so wrong. on this program, this is not ideologic ideological, should never be, our interest is the truth. we believe judge moore has a right to tell his side of the story, why i invited him on my radio program earlier today. here that's interview. welcome back to the program, thanks for being with us. >> nice to be with you. >> sean: let's talk about -- first, you're now reading it, i know you put out a number of statements. but i think we should address it head-on. what do you make of these allegations? >> well, sean, first let me say this. these allegations are completely

false and misleading. but more than that, it hurts me personally. you know i'm a father, i have one daughter, i have five granddaughters, and i have a special concern for protection of young ladies. this is, there this is really hard to get on radio and explain this. these allegations are just completely false. >> sean: what do you make specifically, let's start with what they talked about, that you struck out a conversation with this young woman who was 14, lee kaufman, her mother says that you offered to watch the girl while the mother went inside for a custody hearing they confirmed happened at that time. do you know miss corfman? >> i don't know ms. corfman. i never talked to her, never had any contact with her. the allegation of sexual misconduct are completely false. i believe they're politically motivated, brought only to stop a very successful campaign. that's what they're doing.

i never known this woman or anything with regard to the other girls, you understand this is 40 years ago, after my return from the military i dated a lot of young ladies. i do recognize, how far, the names of two of these young ladies, debbie wes on and gloria that canner, which they have -- thacker, their maiden names. >> sean: debbie wessen gibson said you spoke to her high school sievics class and asked her out on several dates, it did not progress against kissing according to the washington point. did that happen? >> i do not remember speaking to a sievics class. i don't remember that. i do not remember when we -- i seem to remember knowing her parents. i can -- they were friends. i can't recall specific dates because that's been 40 years. but i remember her as a good girl.

but neither of them have ever stated any inappropriate behavior. she didn't say anything. >> sean: but, do you remember ever going on a date with her? she said that you asked her out on the first of several dates but nothing progressed beyond kissing. >> i don't remember specific dates. i could not. i do not. i don't remember if it was that time or later. i do not remember that, no. >> sean: you know her but never dated her, ever, are you saying? >> i know her but i don't remember going out on dates. i knew her as a friend. if we did go out on dates, we did. but i do not remember that. >> sean: what about gloria thacker, says he shoo was an 18-year-old cheer lead where you began taking her on dates that included bottles of wine. she's 18 at the time. the alabama drinking age at the time is 19. did that ever happen?

. no, because in this county it's a -- county it's a dry county. we wouldn't have had liquor. i believe this, she said in a she believed she was under age. and as i recall, she was 19 or older. and that just never happened. i never provided alcohol, beer, intoxicating liquors to the minor. that's against the law. against anything i've ever done. i remember her as a good girl, i remember i had some sort of knowledge of her parents, or mother, in particular. >> sean: at that time in your life, let me ask you, you do remember these girls. would it be unusual for you as a 32-year-old guy to have dated a woman as young as 17? that would be a 15 year difference, or a girl 18, do you remember dating girls that young at that time ce. do you remember not generally, no. if i did, you know, i'm not

going to dispute anything, but i don't remember anything like that. >> sean: you don't specifically remember having any girlfriend in her late teens even at that time? >> no, i don't remember that. and i don't remember ever dating any girl without the permission of her mother. and i think in her statement, she said that her mother actually encouraged her to go out with me. >> sean: actually, there was one, a 14-year-old working as a santa help where you approached her, when she was 16 and her mother forbade her, the third case. let me go back to corfman. this is the issue here. she gives specific instances where the first that you met her at the courthouse, you got her phone number, you talked to her on the phone, and you drove her 30 minutes from her house to the woods where you lived and you kissed her and on a second visit you took off her shirt, pants, removed your clothes, touched

her bra, underpants, guided her hand to touch him over your underwear. now those are specific charges she's making. and i think, obviously it's about a month away from this election campaign. >> yes. >> tucker: you're saying -- is it your position none of that ever happened. >> it never happened. and i don't even like hearing it because it never happened. they're doing this a month away, four weeks away, after 40 years in public service. i've run five successful campaign -- five campaigns, statewide campaigns, three in the county, this has never been brought up. it has never been even mentioned. and all of a sudden four weeks out, they're bringing it up. they're bringing it up, it's political, it's a direct attack on this campaign and involves a 14-year-old girl which i would have never had any contact with. nothing with her mother or

courthouse or anywhere else. would i have done that. in fact, her allegations disagree with the whole behavior two of the young ladies with its themselves. >> sean: you mentioned you'd never go out with any young girl, i assume you meant like when you were 32, the that time of your life. would you always ask the permission of the parent before you took a girl out? >> well, i mean, i'm saying that in their statements, that they made, these two young girls said their mothers encouraged them to be friends with me. and that's what they said. i don't remember -- wasn't privy to their conversation. obviously we never had any sexual activity, there was never anything like that. the behavior was always appropriate according to them. >> sean: you have pretty much been convicted in the court of public opinion.

i mean, i'm looking at, there are republican senators, you know, like john mccain is out there, and he's very vocal, and he's been out there saying that from his position that whether you're -- he said the allegations against roy moore are deeply disturbing and disqualifying. he should immediately step aside and allow the people of alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of. mitt romney said you're innocent until proven guilty only for criminal convictions not elections. he goes on to say. seemingly suggesting just because of the allegation you should step aside. how do you respond to them? >> well, step aside for any allegation, then you might as well not run. when you run you're going to get allegations. first i tell these individuals, it wouldn't make good judges, wouldn't make good people in the judicial system, because you are innocent until proven guilty n this case this woman has waited

over 40 years to bring a complete. four weeks out of an election. it's obvious to the casual observer that something is up. we're also doing an investigation and we have some evidence of some collusion here. but we're not ready to put it to the public just yet. >> sean: you are trying to prove your innocence in other words. >> well, just like you said, they're doing it to defeat the senate campaign. they're bringing something, they're trying to mix something up with other girls that never said anything about sexual impropriety. and they're all labeling on it this 14-year-old. and i had nothing to do with this. this is a completely manufactured story, meant to defrock this campaign. and they're losing, it's 11 points behind, they don't like my acknowledgement that there is a god and that we've refused to

debate them because they're very liberal stance on transgenderism, and transgenderism in the military and bathrooms. they're desperate. >> sean: let me ask a general question. let's say, take you out of this for a second. if any senate candidate who was 32 at the time had done this to a 14-year-old girl, to me it's disgusting. to me it would be despicable. to me that is a predator. would you agree with me, no such person whoever does that should ever be in the united states senate? >> of course. nobody that abuse as 14-year-old, age 32 or age 17, it doesn't matter. if you abuse a 14-year-old you shouldn't be a senate candidate. i agree with that. but i did not do that. >> sean: let's go back to one more question, i didn't understand this. if you're 32 and you do date, again, there's a difference, 17

or 18-year-old, that's a pretty big gap for a pretty young girl. is that something you did when you were dating? i'm not talking about the 14-year-old in that specific allegation. would it be normal behavior back in those days for to you data girl that's 17 or 18? >> no. not normal. >> sean: if my daughter is 17 -- my daughter is 16. if she's 17 or 18, i don't want her dating a 32-year-old. >> i wouldn't either. >>. >> sean: and you can say unequivocally you never dated anybody in their late teens when you were 32? >> would have been out of my customary behavior, right. >> sean: you don't recall ever dating any girl that young when you were that old? >> i've said no. >> sean: and you think that's inappropriate, that's what you're saying. >> inappropriate, yes. >> sean: let me ask you about your general feelings, because a lot of things come up during elections. this isn't my first rodeo, judge. i have covered a lot of big

topics over the years. i know a lot of people rush to judgment. and in my life i try not to do that. and this is such a serious allegation, at such a significant point in this race. my only goal is not ideological. my goal is to get the truth. richard jewell, i was in atlanta, and then the article comes out he fits the profile of the lone bomber because he lives with his mother. we saw what happened in the like lacrosse case, the three kids were falsely accused. we saw that the whole nation and the president was wrong on issues like ferguson, missouri. hands up, don't shoot never happened. george zimmerman was found not guilty by a jury of his piers. darren wilson us a exonerated because of eyewitnesss that saw the michael brown incident. the case of freddy gray, everybody thought policemen did horrible things and they were all not guilty. there are instances when things are set.

clarence thomas, herman cain. what do you want to tell people, iel give you the microphone, how they should view the "washington post," these people making these charges, and your denial. how should people see it? >> well, i think they should see it as it really is, that's 40 years i've been in the public eye. i've been serving as a deputy prosecutor, i've been a judge, a chief justice twice, run a foundation for northerly law. and now -- moral law. after 40 years, four weeks out of an election, not even mentioned in the primary, they bring charges and try to back them up with other things that sound bad. but then they allege things that are completely untrue. i never knew this woman. i never met this woman. these charges are politically motivated. and they're there to do exactly what they're doing. the democrat is 11 points behind. he's very liberal. they don't want to talk about his record. they don't want to talk about his inexperience.

they want to defuse this just like they defused president trump's agenda by bringing up the russian deal. they're bringing up something detract from this campaign. they know what they're doing and have me obviously on the radio hearing things about a sexual encounter that never happened. i would put you in the same position, would you feel just like me. you would be angry. you would be very angry. and that's exactly the position i'm in. this never happened. they know it never happened. and obviously you don't wait 40 years to break out something like this. they're going to come out fast. there will be facts to show in this situation that this was a democrat and maybe even established republican efforts to undermine this campaign. because they don't want to hear the truth in washington. and they don't want to hear the truth about god.

and about the constitution. >> sean: last thought on the establishment republicans, you think they're partly involved in this? >> well, if they're not involved in the implementation of it, they're sure backing away very quickly. >> sean: what about those that don't give you the presumption of innocence? what do you say to them don't give t that's what i'm talking about, they aren't even giving me the presumption of innocence. they're say ig should resign, the "washington post" who brought these charges against the. allegations about the russian involvement, "washington post" has attacked the foundation, attacked my wife, and now they're attacking me personally on the sexual matter. i don't know what's coming next. but i'm sure in the next four weeks they'll come out with another article. they have got an agenda and they're fulfilling their agenda as we speak. >> sean: joining us fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett,

geraldo rivera, trial attorney rebecca rose woodland. if you look at all of the cases where people in our industry, especially geraldo, have been wrong, and this rush to judgment on high profile cases. i went through the lesson i learned in atlanta richard jewell, and duke lacrosse, then so many were wrong. the professors they were wrong. ferguson. and trevon martin, freddy gray. nobody thought the president would win. we have to balance serious allegations here with also the presumption of innocence. how do you do that? >> well, i think that with all due respect to your burying the lead. the lede is that was a smart, tough, deeply revealing interview. what are we talking about? we're talking about he said-she said. the credibility of the parties is the most relevant thing can you think of.

i pictured judge roy moo just then sitting in the witness chair and you asking him those questions. and hearing his denial, his nondenial denials, his bumpering. >> sean: what specific question? >> when you asked him did he date these young women or these girls and he said, i think -- >> sean: i asked a general question. >> no, generally not. no generally not? that means that there are exceptions to your general rule? i thought, sean, you ended roy moore's -- you did not intend this, but i'm speaking now as i think a fair arbiter, w. that telling interview asking every question that everybody listening had, you ended his dandy da si. i urge republicans to postpone the special election. >> sean: vladimir putin arriving in vietnam, the president is expected momentarily. when he gets there we'll bring it to you.

rebecca? >> i'll continue geraldo's thoughts. the credibility of the women who came forward. he's claiming this is fake news. if it's fake news, why don't we look at the women. we have four women who don't know each other. four women who never met each other. one of whom admits to being a long-standing republican. where would they come up with this story? they would be pushed, then, to come up with a story, a month before the election. it's credibility -- >> sean: i'm just playing devil's advocate. i watched herman cain's character get assassinated and i've known him a long time. what happened to clarence thomas was, he said at the time, a high-tech lynching on the verge of him becoming a supreme court justice. all of these last-minute allegations, do they not have to be su spen expect? -- suspect? i'm only saying i want the truth. i don't know the truth tonight.

>> i agree except for the fact these women didn't come forward, the "washington post" reporter found them after he started -- >> sean: i don't believe in the "washington post," i'm not the biggest fan. >> anita hill had come forward today and clarence thomas was being confirmed today he would never be on the high court. these are much different times than the, clarence thomas confirmation. >> sean: you think clarence thomas was his own best with it and gave one of the most powerful defenses of an individual. let me bring greg in, we have plenty of time tonight. greg look cross-examination is the engine of truth. and your interview today was a fine cross-examination of roy moore. i think you missed your ulgca, you should have been a lawyer. i found his answers to be unconvincing and implausible, his entire story to be unbelievable, which means he's lying. he's not telling the truth o that basis, i think he should step aside.

look, you caught him in a glaring contradiction. you asked him as a 32-year-old man did you date 17 and 18-year-olds. he said, quote, if i did i'm not going to dispute anything. later when you asked him the second time, he said if i did, i don't remember. you asked him a third time, and he said absolutely not. now, that is at best inconsistency, at worst a contradiction. and jurors are told there's a standard jury instruction the judge reads to them f you find that the witness is lying in one part of their story, you macon clued the witness is lying about everything. and that's how i felt about judge roy moore today. i was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. because of the source of this information. the "washington post" which endorsed his opponent. and because of the age. >> sean: what if he, as i was

asking, listen, it was not as hard as people think. i went through the facts of the case and gave him a chance to answer. >> you were fair. >> sean: i wanted to be fair. what if, in fact, he was just inarticulate and it still wasn't true? throwing it out, devil's advocate. >> if he was inarticulate and what wasn't true? >> sean: 38 years ol when he was 32 years old he was not a predator. this is a serious charge. and no one can say here definitively, i'm watching the media, in the court of public opinion they have convicted him. they did that yesterday before this interview took place. >> i agree that these are allegations. when you put it together, sean, four women who don't know each other, they're going to destroy their lives then? >> sean: we have to take a break, we will have more on my exclusive interview, plus we are awaiting you see, president trump will be arriving at the apec summit in vietnam.

>> sean: fox news alert, moments ago president trump arriving at the apec summit in vietnam. also tonight we showed you my exclusive interview with judge

roy moore accused of sexual misconduct. we have been telling you the media has been quick to convict judge moore before ever even hearing this interview or his side of the story. we continue. watch this first. well, no, hang on we'll go to gregg jarrett with us, geraldo rivera, rebecca rose woodland. i want to go back, i think woe all have an obligation to get things right. when this serious charge, there's the president at the apec summit. richard jewell, in atlanta, he fit the profile of the lone bomber because he lived with his mother. you look at the case, duke lacrosse case,le 8 88 professors take out a full page advertisement in the school newspaper. er if ferguson, some people still believe the live hands up, don't shoot. trevon martin, it could have been my son, the president. that turned out, the evidence

was presented before a jury and an eyewitness that placed trevon on top of george zimmerman grounding and pounding his head into the cement. freddy gray case. everybody was convinced those policemen were going to jail. you have a media to got it so wrong on trump it was contempt they were showing every night. donald trump running and he wins the presidency a lot of people wouldn't bet obama. they were wrong there. for me in my personal life, what i learned from these experiences is that a rush to judgment is very, very dangerous. and that's why i sincerely urge caution among everybody. you've got a bigger piece of the puzzle, this was the first interview and only interview. does that give you pause, should we all pause and wait for more information? >> i think we can pause and wait for more information. >> sean: but you made up your

mind. >> i do think -- >> sean: you made up your mind. >> i heard the interview. why doesn't he come on? why don't we -- >> he was on today. >> he was on your radio show. but something, didn't seem genuine, something didn't seem real to me. >> sean: to you. >> when i look at four women it's hard to believe four independent women -- >> sean: there was a hesitation, no doubt about it. gregg was right. gregg has a photographic memory. i don't. and greg, geraldo went back, and he said this is how he answered the question about the appropriateness of the 17-year-old. but it doesn't -- would in a convict you? >> i go back, i'm just, i know -- >> sean: i know you don't like him. >> this is with you and me. we come from different parts of the political spectrum. you believe bill clinton guilty of all. charges. >> sean: he's a predator. >> you believe donald trump

innocent, and many believed him guilty after the access hollywood tapes. we have a tendency to want in a charged political environment to believe the people who think like we do philosophically and disbelieve their political opponents. what was brilliant about this interview was that you and roy moore, largely, you largely agree on the great philosophical issues of the day. he's a little more to the right of you but generally speaking you're in the same area. yet you asked him in explicit detail about this charge and this charge and this charge, and then you said as the part of a daughter, i find this conduct disgusting. just like everybody watching tonight finds that conduct disgusting. that was so riveting and so powerful in the impact it had on judge roy moo that i really do believe that today you ended his effective political career.

>> sean: but i have to be fair to gregg, even he, dpreg, when asked if anyone at 32 had done would that redator to a disqualify them to be a senator. he said yes. >> he did. and there are other reasons he should disqualify himself. and i'm not rushing to judgment on roy moore. i've followed his career closely for years. i have long said that this is a man who has a record of lawlessness. he pretends to respect the law but he has nothing but contempt for it. how do we know? because he has repeatedly defied federal court orders and rulings on u.s. constitutional matters. he even rejected the supreme court decision to same-sex marriage and sought to undermine it with his own orders. he is not above the nine justices sitting on the u.s. supreme court. though he seems to think so. and on that basis, i have said before the primary, it would be

trouble to nominate this man. because he is toxic and he will be so in the u.s. senate. >> sean: we're going to take a quick break. when we come back, we'll show you the media's rush to judgment way before this interview, even. and is that a problem. we'll ask that question. then we have john bolton and sebastian corker, the president in vietnam at the apec summit, we'll cover that life. life. summit and we'll cover summit and we'll cover that thanks for the ride-along, captain! i've never been in one of these before, even though geico has been- ohhh. ooh ohh here we go, here we go. you got cut off there, what were you saying?

oooo. oh no no. maybe that geico has been proudly serving the military for over 75 years? is that what you wanted to say? mhmmm. i have to say, you seemed a lot chattier on tv. geico. proudly serving the military for over 75 years. you ok back there, buddy?

eras. they're defined by accomplishments. by victories. by those with the resourcefulness, the ingenuity, and the grit to help ensure the next energy to power our dreams, will be american energy. before i hadburning,oting, of diabetic nerve pain, these feet... loved every step of fatherhood... and made old cars good as new. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica.

lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. common side effects: dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who've had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain. ask your doctor about lyrica. hannity, fox news alert. president trump is in vietnam at this hour at the apec summit. also tonight more reaction to my exclusive interview with judge roy moore accused of sexual months conduct. we have a problem in the country, the media. so many quick to attack. conduct. rush to judgment. that's even before the interview with judge moore. let's watch this.

>> some of these right wing media defenders i don't know how they can sleep at night. i wonder if they'll look back years from now and regret the things they're saying. commentator, steve bonnon, sean happy it in, would rather talk about the media than the molestation. that's a more convenient topic. everybody sees through it. >> you saw he had a lot of defenders. this is going to test two things. sort of the depths and depravity of conservative media outlets that defend some one like roy moore known to be a pedophile. >> if you know a 14-year-old, picture that, visually pick thur this 32-year-old slime slime bag attorney. play that movie out in your head. >> woman says roy moore initiated a sexual contact with her when she was 14 and he was 32. that's an age difference of it doesn't matter, she was 14.

>> sean: as we continue, let me go back to gregg first. there have been so many instances that the media is wrong. i asked those people in the media, and i ask play tapes of them on duke lacrosse, can i play tapes of them believing hands up don't shoot. i can play tapes convicting george zimmerman before he had a trial. my question is how do you sleep at night. if you just recklessly go out there and don't know the truth and haven't heard every side and you turn out to be wrong. you know, 10 commandments, gregg, the other nine we know, are broken on a daily basis by human beelgs. i believe the one about false witness is broken a lot. i'm not saying in this case but we have to be careful. >> the media narrative is that donald trump is the villain, hillary clinton is an innocent

victim, and robert mueller, the special counsel, is a hero. and they stick to that narrative each and every day. i was watching another network the other day, competing network, and the anchor was saying isn't this leading with the russia collusion as if it's illegal. these anchors and reporters never bother to look up the law. there is no such thing as collusion as a crime except in antitrust law. but they imply that having a conversation with a russian is somehow a crime, it is not. paying a russian for information in a dossier, that would be a crime under the federal election campaign act. >> sean: let me talk with you, her ran dough, about selective moral outrage. were you one of bill clinton, probably the strongest voice at the time defending him during impeachment. >> that's why you hated me. >> sean: i didn't hate you.

i did not. >> you had a bull's eye in your office that,'s a literal fact, with my face on it that he threw darts to. >> sean: we were competing at the same hour. >> it was the bull's eye. >> sean: but i spent time, interviewed paula jones, i interviewed kathleen willy, i had one of two interviews at the time with juanita broderick. the democratic party, they excused all of that behavior, they talked about dragging dollars through trailer parks, about some of these women, and they started a smear campaign against monica lewinsky, clinton's surrogate. and hillary clinton took money from countries that abuse women. kill guys and lesbians and persecute christians and jews. i watch democrats, all outraged now, and they can believe everything they want to believe. but this isn't out of principle,

this is out of politics. this is out of their hope that the republicans implode and that they can steal the alabama senate seat. this is opportunity for them. democratic party has a reckoning that they have to go through. because he went with a 22-year-old girl and he's the president of the united states? >> in the oval office. >> sean: in the oval office. >> i think that's what good for the goose is good for the gander. that's why i believe there has to be some standard. now, i've heard could men day for after commentator all day long on ours and other networks, particularly the other networks, suggesting that the senators who say this man kept be a viable candidate, if these charges are true. everybody kept putting the caveat, if these charges are true. he can't ever be, if these charges are true. how do you know if these charges are true particularly if you have a case that's old like this. that's why i want to go back to what i said last night. you need a standard.

the charge should be reasonably contemporaneousious. i'm not saying it should be a rigid statute of limitations but should be like a decade, two decades, i mean the reason is the statute of limitations people's memories fade. >> sean: request i ask a tough question. >> you need a corroboration. you need -- in this case the corroboration exists. what is the contemporaneous could be brags. this 14-year-old girl told two of her girlfriends what happened in realtime. >> do you think bill clinton in retrospect was a predator? >> that is a tough question. and i still have affection for him. >> sean: you suspect he might be. >> i suspect that many of these charges are true. i suspect they're true. and i think that he was definitely a philanderer.

>> predator? >> present days is different. predation has to do with how the victim -- >> sean: quick 20 seconds. >> we've been on your show, we were right on duke, we talked about trevon. wayous every night with you. in this i have to tell you, my instinct is. >> >> sean: the other way. >> i don't think they're lying. >> does he deserve the presumption of innocence? >> of course he does. but i do think that these girls do not have a reason, they don't have a reason -- >> sean: is it problematic when you wait 30 years? i understand people are embarrassed, traumatized. >> the girl was 14. how embarrassing for her at 14. i don't know that she would be so comfortable coming out. at any time. >> sean: i want to see what else comes out in the days ahead. i will keep an open mind. and i don't believe in rushing to judgment. >> do you think the election should be postponed?

>> sean: i don't know how they can do it legally. but i think -- >> it's not illegal. >> sean: the fairness of the people of alabama i think until we get to the facts and the truth, sort through all this, probably would be a good idea. >> the alternative is the democrat will win. >> sean: when we come back, thank you all, appreciate it. the president, now, is just arrived at the apec summit, he's in vietnam. we will have full cover with sebastian, john bolton. when i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424.

you or joints. something for your heart... but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember.

>> sean: welcome pack to hannity. this is a fox news alert of the president trump arriving moments ago at the apec summit in vietnam. now it's part of the very important asian trip. and so little coverage in the media. joining us now, fox news, national security strategist and former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton. i had you both before he gave that speech in south korea which i thought was 30 miles from the dmz, sebastian, i thought one of his finest. i thought it re-established america as the world power in that arena. like he did when he was in the middle east. and almost his finest moments. so the coverage.

this was an important moment for him. this has been an important trip so far. >> absolutely, sean. we've seen this all before. every trip he's had has knocked it out of the ballpark. whether it's that incredible speech he gave in warsaw about the judeo-christian values in our western civilization, america is built upon. whether it was going into the heart of islamic world, riyadh, talking tough love to the arab leaders how they have to take responsibility for the extreme interests and the terrorists in their communities. or whether it's standing just miles from the dmz, talking about the rooefl that is the north korean regime. every trip has been incredible. it's just not interesting to the mainstream media. just as the domestic achievements aren't interesting either, whether it's the lowest unemployment in 17 years, the 25% increase in the stock market, there's reality and then there's the mainstream media

with the fake news industrial complex would not have you pay attention to. >> sean: let me get your take on the entirety of the frip and importance of the trip. i think particular part where he's building and forging this relationship with china so key especially in dealing with the north korean crisis. it is a crisis. >> well, the big event on the trip, obviously, is not over, was the meeting why xi jinping and north could re-a as of that, we don't know how that went. there was very little comment on it. just generalizations about what was covered. we don't know whether xi jinping resisted a tough line, i'm sure the president took, said i'm not going to do that. or whether possibly there's been some movement in our direction that neither the chinese nor the white house thinks is appropriate to discuss publicly. wouldn't be surprising. but for now, i think you would

have to say that that remains a big question mark. i think the visit in japan was a big plus. i thought the speech was reaganesque, very tough, very clear. we still need to have what happens with the chinese. it's going to be interesting to see just exactly what kind of meeting he has with vladimir putin in vietnam. i don't know why the white house has beenive cal on, this i -- has been equivocal on this. i think he should sit down with putin. >> sean: the onlyning they want to cover is there's the president, he's saying hello to vladimir putin. russia, russia, russia. we have had a year of these eelgss. and dianne feinstein said no evidence of collusion, again. smoke but no fire again, which has been pretty much the refrain for the last year. >> yes, it's stunning that the democrats, the media, didn't have a problem when kennedy met with kruschev or any other president met with the premiere of the soviet unior on the the

russian federation. it's just double standard. if the left didn't have any double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all. russia is a nuclear power, one of the five permanent members of the u.n. security council, it is right that the president meet with vladimir putin and talk to him as tough as he talks to xi jinping. this is geopolitics. you meet with other heads of state whether they're good guys or not. >> sean: quick comment, ambassador? >> no, i think that's exactly right. and so we'll see what happens with the putin meeting. >> sean: one last question, i have a little more time, doctor, what are your thoughts on this issue of judge moore, especially in light of my interview tonight? >> look, i think it was very important interview. i will say one thing, having met judge moore, he's not a slick political dyed in the pool

operator. so -- dyed in the wool. i think his media appearances have to be judged in the light of his background that he's not somebody who hah lived in the swamp for 30 years. at the end of the day the truth has to come out. if anything inappropriate comes out, it should be investigated. but it's the presumption of innocence. >> sean: presumption of innocence, don't rush to judgment, the media has ton so wrong so often. we'll pursue the truth here. more hannity straight ahead.
