journalism in america is dead. tonight, a "hannity" history lesson about your media. you are going to want to record this and show your friends. we'll cover all of this intimates breaking news opening monologue. ♪ we start tonight with a massive, stunning development that should have hillary clinton very worried tonight. "the daily beast" reporting the department of justice has in fact reopened the investigation into clinton's server scandal. according to that report, investigators are gathering information about how clinton and her top aides handled classified information including questions about how most classified information pastor who are unsecured server. who put the information onto the server. which investigators know about all of this and when did they know about this? also breaking tonight, john solomon, who will join us from "the hill" ," reporting that the fbi has open a brand-new investigation as it relates to the clinton foundation, and they are trying to determine whether or not any pay for play

occurred while hillary clinton was serving as secretary of state. we have been saying, and i've been sitting on this program, 2018 will be the year that all of these candles boomerang back on the left, the media, the democratic party, and tonight it's all beginning to unfold. for example, take two nights information about the clinton server scandal, and couple that with the doj looking into the rainy one scandal. we are also learning that the doj will give house investigators access to all of the documents and witnesses in the russian investigation on the dossier investigation. all this means, all this information about the clinton bought and paid for russian propaganda, that fake news and salacious dossier, the russian dossier, will finally see the light of day. you got to buckle up, it will get very interesting. now also tonight, we'll get back to that in a minute. look, if you don't work or live inside their mainstream media and their giant, welcome incestuous bubble, then you might have seen that the economs

on an absolute tear, this is good news for the forgotten men and women in this country. take a look at these numbers. dow jones soared to 25,000, its highest number ever. the job market continues to boom. adp reporting today 250,000 new jobs created in december alone, which is the most in nine months for that survey. and take a look at this headline. job cut announcements in 2017 see the lowest level since 1990, challenger report says. here's another headline. manufacturing in the u.s. just accelerated to its best year since 2004. earlier today, the president is moving to now open up offshore drilling. that's right, off both coasts, and in the gulf, which is vital to america becoming energy independent, the lifeblood of our economy. and that is only some of the good news from this week alone. unemployment, a 17 year low,

4.1%. under president trump. before the 250,000 jobs, 1.7 million jobs were created, that is now 2 million jobs. african-american unemployment in america is now at a 17 year low. food stamps uses that a seven year low. 2 million fewer people using food stamps now under president trump and one year. home prices are up 6%. the trump administration it has now taken a chainsaw to burdensome regulation from our government and for every new one they created in terms of regulation, 16 have been slashed and cutaway. his gdp so far, we have seen two quarters of over 3% growth. remember, barack obama, the only president of the history of this country to never reaching 3% of gdp growth for an entire year. here's of the media will never tell you. there is a night and day difference between the economy, just a year ago, and now under donald trump for one year. under obama's economy, i'll remind you, it was god awful.

lowest labor participation rate since the '70s. 95 million americans out of the labor force, the worst economic recovery since the '40s, the lowest home ownership since 51 years, 13 more million americans on food stamps, 8 million more in property, 43 million total living in poverty under obama, and just one year the economy is now turning around and that is before the $1.5 trillion historic tax cut even had a chance to take effect. all good news for us. and liberals, the media, they say, oh, the tax cuts will be terrible for the economy. it's only going to benefit corporations. by the way, corporations don't pay taxes. it turns out to be a big, fat lie. they pass the cost on to us. companies like bank of america, wells fargo, u.s. bank, southwest airlines and others, american airlines, even comcast, the parent company of conspiracy tv msnbc, wow, because of the tax cut they have given my

employees $1,000 bonuses and pay raises. other employees have said that they will invest billions into the u.s. economy, build factories and manufacturing centers and hire new employees, not to mention you, the american people, will soon start to see money in your paychecks. where it belongs. it is all because of what? your tax bill that the media said was god-awful. i just shows you how clueless and other media lies to you daily and frankly, how much they hate president trump. if they have this trump-hating obsession, which i told you about last night, which means tt they will do and say anything to try and hurt him on a daily basis. let me tell you how it works. i told you all about cnn, he called them a demented wire and then conspiracy tv msnbc has to say, no, that's not enough. he's not only demented, he's deranged, and a pathological liar, and they talk to each other. what we have now is a media so corrupt, they are all a bunch of sheep, they are brain-dead, they are hypnotized, it is like

watching a horror movie unfold before our eyes. remember only days ago, the media wanted you to believe we were on the verge of nuclear war with north korea. why is that? because unlike his predecessors, president trump refused to be an appeaser and capitulate to the threats of kim jong un and north korea. watch the media's hysterical coverage as they lie to you. speak of the president essentially daring the leader of nuclear armed north korea to prove that has button works. this is our world now. >> 16 tweets to start the new year, some of them deeply disturbing. these are the messages from a person who is not well, from a leader who is not fit for office. >> trumps needs to be medicated and hospitalized at this point or he is going to just kill all of us. speak of his recent tweet about north korea, the nuclear button, the size of the nuclear button, that has raised alarm bells, not just for democrats, but from

republicans, as well. >> sean: that frenzy was two days ago from the media. white house press secretary sarah sanders and slapped down the press for attacking the president. good for her. watch this. >> should americans be concerned by the president's mental fitness that he appears to be speaking so lightly about threats regarding nuclear button? >> i think the president and the people of this country should be concerned about the mental fitness of the leader of north korea. he's made repeated threats. he's tested missiles time and time again for years, and this is a president who is going to cower down and is not going to be weekend is going to make sure that he does what he has promised to do and how to stand up and protect the american people. >> sean: understand, 48 hours ago, your media was losing their minds and predicting potential nuclear fallout. that was until steve bannon's comments about the president surfaced. within the narrative magically shifts away and changes and the world is going to end at any minute and then they find a new

best friend. that is right. oh, let's see, a car they hated forever. they have uncontrollable glee that steve bannon, a guy that they hate said something about the president. it just shows you how pathetic all of these people are. now look at how breathlessly they are covering the steve bannon story. did they ever tell you a single thing about the economy? that's good? anything that trump is done good? if a dog bites, the bee stings, you are feeling sad, and the media's world, it is all donald trump. as. >> revelations are my soon to be published book are rocking the trump administration tonight, portraying president donald trump is a volatile and uncontrollable force within the white house. >> president trump issued a statement like no presidential statement ever before in american history, lambasting his former campaign and white house senior strategist, steve bannon in no uncertain terms. >> now it seems bannon has turned on his old boss.

bannon on the record saying things implicating him in the russia probe, and it suggests that trump's oldest son and son-in-law committed treason. >> you now have steve bannon, the guy that they would have had their arms around and have their thumbs up taking pictures two days ago, now steve bannon is talking about treason. >> in that bombshell book rocking the white house, the fire and fury inside the trump white house, it features blistering attacks on the president and his family from steve bannon. despite being -- to -- >> sean: this is all about is. look at jake tapper, what he used earlier today to talk about the new michael wolff book. in a way, i feel sorry for fake news jake, he has to take his marching orders from his trump-hating, soon to be scandal plagued boss, jeff zucker, whose best friends with matt lauer. the media can barely control themselves over the bannon

story. you can bet they will drag this out as long as possible until the next crisis they create comes along. of its nuclear war coming, two days later they will forget about it. here's the thing when it comes to the media in this country. they are biased, abusive attacks against this president are unprecedented. but you know what? can awaken but i have always shown their liberal bias. the media has been an extension of the democratic party for decades. here's the proof. they have a long history of breathless, hysterical reporting but only when conservatives or republicans are occupying the white house. the media has also bent over backwards to praise the presidents they so love, adore, worship, like bill clinton and barack obama, people that appease murdering dictators and experts. now let's start with president ronald reagan. this is where our history lesson begins tonight. back in 1984. you might remember, it was a microphone check, he was doing a weekly radio address. oh, he's going to destroy russia

with nukes. he was joking. keep in mind this was never in the actual, real speech. listen to this. >> my fellow americans, i am telling you today that i've signed legislation that will outlaw russia forever, we resumed bombing in 5 minutes. >> sean: of course, the audio was released, the media try to make it into a huge, international crisis even though it was a joke. take a look, back then, how nbc news reacted. >> it was the joke heard round the world, the one by president reagan about bombing the soviet union and it resulted in a soviet red alert and it became a campaign issue in this country. >> by august 14th, the story became world news, a major item on moscow television where the joke was not treated as a laughing matter. >> sean: look at the headline from "the new york times." "reagan's gaffe." it only gets worse from there. the media couldn't stand the fact that ronald reagan ended up, by being strong, defeating the soviet union and he didn't fire single shot.

that started when ronald reagan called the communist regime what it really was, an evil empire, take a look. >> they preached the supremacy of the state, declare its omnipotence over individual man and predict his eventual domination of all peoples on the earth. they are the focus of evil in the modern world. so when your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, i urge you to be aware that a temptation of pride, the temptation of blithely declaring ourselves above it all, label both sides equally at fault. to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race of giant misunderstanding, and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wron wrong, evil. >> sean: he didn't give them billions of dollars. president reagan was confronting evil in his time but then, it was way too much for the media, the liberal media, to handle, because they prefer the policies

of bowing and kissing rings and appeasement. here's a quote from "the new york times" describing reagan's speech. "in the long run, however, the greater danger lies in mr. reagan's vision of the superpower relationship as good versus evil, and his near proclamation of holy war against an evil empire." it turns out the so-called paper record, just like the rest of the liberal media, was completely wrong. if reagan followed the media's advice, the soviet union might still be standing. next, remember george w. bush. he labeled, rightly so, iran, iraq, and north korea, the axis of evil. you may remember this. >> north korea is your regime arming with missiles and weaponf mass is destruction while serving its citizens. iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror while an unelected few repress the iranian people's hope for freedom. iraq continues to flaunt its hostility towards america and to support terror.

the iraqi regime has plotted to develop anthrax and nerve gas and nuclear weapons for over a decade. states like these and other terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil arming to threaten the peace of the world. >> sean: how do you describe in the last century alone, over 100 million human souls destroyed? is that not evil? here are some of the headlines after george w. bush's speech, immediately thereafter. "response to terror has bush overstated north korea threat? even years later, the media still attacking bush's speech. take a look at these examples from the media research center. >> up until that moment, iran was cooperating with the united states on the border of afghanistan, it was post 9/11. iran was more or less an american ally. by being included in the axis of

evil, it turned the iranian government in a completely different direction. it was a turning point in american politics and in foreign policy. >> kim's father feared for the u.s. would use nuclear weapons against his country. that historic fear was reinforced 50 years later when the u.s. labeled north korea part of an axis of evil with iran and iraq. kim jong il feared he would always be next after iraq. >> sean: the media if it's rated president bush, but he was right. take a look at iran and north korea today. he was able to see back then that they needed to be confronted head-on. as for the media, well, they can't stand the kind of tough and direct acknowledgment that america does have enemies, that there is evil in our times. apparently, they would rather they are presidents bending down and kissing their rings and bowing and kissing the feet of murdering dictators. let's go back to the early 1990s. bill clinton sucked up, groveling for kim jong un's

father, kim jong il, and giving north korea billions in energy subsidies, allowing north korea to keep their nuclear fuel rods and then goes on tv and tells you, "it's a great deal for the american people." what a lie that was. take a look. >> this is a good deal for the united states. north korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program. south korea and i were other allies will be better protected. the entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons. south korea, with support from japan and other nations, will bear most of the cost. they will pay for an alternative power system for north korea that will allow them to produce electricity while making it much harder for them to produce nuclear weapons. the united states and international inspectors will carefully monitor north korea to make sure it keeps its commitments. only as adesso will north korea

fully join the community of nations. >> sean: today we know his bribery or attempted bribery of dictatorship failed. despite the obvious flaws, back then with a deal for north korea, the media praised bill clinton. they loved him. >> the deal that could end the long running crisis with north korea over nuclear weapons. i could also ease tensions on the korean peninsula and open the way for normal relations between the u.s. and one of the world's last hard-line communist states. >> be on the details, north korea seems to have made a fundamental decision that the cold war is really over. >> crucial inspections are being delayed five years while the rest of the deal is supplemented. american officials say the delay is a small price to pay for getting north korea to shut down its entire nuclear program. >> you would think the media would learn from history, learn the lessons of history, because they are all a bunch of brain-dead sheep with an agenda. back in 2015, just like

president clinton, president obama proudly announced a nuclear deal $150 billion to the mullahs of iran, threatening to blow us and wipe us off the base of the earth along with israel. watch this. >> today, after two years of negotiations, the united states, together with our international partners, has achieved something that decades of animosity has not. a comprehensive, long-term deal with iran that will prevent it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. this deal demonstrates that american diplomacy can bring about real and meaningful change. change that makes our country and the world safer and more secure. this deal is also in line with a tradition of american leadership. >> sean: total b.s., total stupidity. what obama forgot to mention, oh, hey he gave the radical mullahs that are saying and chanting "death to america" in iran, he gave them 150 billion

of your dollars, plane loads of cash, and other currencies, and tehran, allowed to keep and spend their centrifuges, put them on the path toward building a nuclear weapon once the deal runs out, just like north korea. the media, they didn't care about any of this, they were quick to heap praise and obama, the peace prize winner. >> the u.s. and world powers reaching amazing agreement with iran. watching one of our biggest rivals from developing nuclear weapon. >> the president is about to deliver a statement thomas historic nuclear deal with iran overnight. it is supposed to freeze the country's pursuit of a nuclear weapon. >> has the u.s. and its allies successfully blocked iran for making a nuclear bomb at least for now? >> tonight to the united states could be entering a new era in its relationship with iran. >> i think it begins to change the dynamic of a tense relationship of 36 years between washington and tehran. i think the deal provides more than the united states

anticipated. i think it could at least prevent an arms race that would be detrimental to not just the middle east come but to the whole world. >> sean: that's two nights "hannity" history listen. apart from -- it personifies the media and your country for who they are. they are afraid of strong leaders that dared to confront evil in our time. they are people that love capitulation and appeasement, even though it fails every single time. if you really want to know how the media wants a president to behave in the world stage, then take a look at this picture. take a look, right there. so what does our history lesson prove? the media has been, and will continue to be, mindless, liberal, left wing, radical ideologues that no longer report to the truth. they might only like president trump if he sucked up to what, radical mullahs in iran? and kissed kim jong un's ring? give them billions? guess what, that is not something this president will

do. we have big breaking news tonight from "the hill"'s john solomon. our top story, the fbi has launched a new investigation into the clinton foundation. this is something we have been calling for on this show. we have sebastian gorka, geraldo rivera with reaction. he stayed with us. busy night. don't wait until february. walk into a jackson hewitt and you could get up to $3200. so why wait for your refund? you could get up to $3200 with a no-fee refund advance. go to jackson hewitt today.

>> sean: this is a fox news alert. it is not a good and for the clintons. "the hill"'s john solomon reporting a new investigation into the clinton foundation has been opened by the fbi. according to the report, investigators will be looking for any possible wrongdoings surrounding pay to play or other illegal activity while hillary clinton was serving as our secretary of state. also tonight, "the daily beast" reporting the doj is looking into hillary clinton's email server. john solomon, sara carter will join us in a moment. here with reaction to that of shocking news as well as tonight's opening monologue is a former deputy assistant to the president, fox news contributor sebastian gorka and fox news correspondent at large, currently composed of "the five," geraldo rivera. i've been watching you all week. this is huge news. they are looking into the clinton foundation, and they have confirmed, they are now clearly also looking into the email server scandal which we now know comey basically rigged

with peter strzok because they wrote an exoneration months before the investigation. speaker with emails scandal, there is no doubt the fix was in. it was also an archaic scandal. if we go back there again, the eyes of the public will roll into the back of their heads and say, oh, no, what's next, benghazi? >> sean: wait a minute. were laws broken in your view as an attorney? >> they very well may have been -- >> sean: felonies? >> i don't know what crime it would be. you need intent to violate -- >> sean: wait a minute. if you set up a private server and a mom and pop shop bathroom closet, wait a minute, you put secret, top secret classified special access and then you destroy it, delete it, acid wash it? come on. >> the reason the other aspect of it, the pay for play clinton

foundation aspect of this is much more intriguing is that it is new. we have been shredded -- hours and hours, you more than most, i want to know how the clintons became so wealthy when they never had a real job. >> sean: that's a good question good question. >> if you conflated with the email thing again, why would we -- >> sean: why would we ever give 20% of america's uranium? robert mueller knew the fbi had a spy inside of putin's ring, bribery, extortion, money laundering, kickback, sebastian, and they still allowed cfius to sign off on it. the money went right to the consent foundation. $150 million. >> we have been waiting more than a year to find out if america is still the nation of the rule of law. now hillary is going to find out the answer to her own question, what difference does it make.

and geraldo, i didn't know you studied law, but i have to tell you something. as a former federal employee, intent is utterly irrelevant when it comes to the handling of classified materials and federal law. you do not need to be giving that information to a foreign agent if you simply misplace it, you have committed to a felony. it's one of the few aspects of federal law where intent is a irrelevant. that woman had at least 180 emails of the highest codification of the federal system on her private server. that is a felony, geraldo. >> i totally disagree with your legal analysis. >> its effect, geraldo. >> around jamaica much more important point. i care about the 45th president. i care about his success. i think that he is not touting his excesses. we have an economy that is booming, that is including everybody from the wealthy, to

the person -- >> so hillary gets a pass? >> i want to tout that. >> sean: black unemployment, seven-year low. >> i want to scream that from the rooftops. that positive messages but the american people are yearning to hear, not hillary clinton email -- >> sean: what about equal justice under the law? sebastian? >> is the statue of lady justice blindfolded for a reason, geraldo? all americans should be equal before the law, whether your last name is rivera are where they are last name is clinton. this moment has committed felonies, it goes without saying. >> it does not go without saying! you cannot make a statement like that! >> the director of the fbi said she had 108 classified emails on her private server! that's a felony, geraldo! >> and the last, mark two, three years, why hasn't there been

any meaningful -- >> that's the question. >> sean: hang on a second. it's not donald trump. he has no say in this. why, and i ask you, why would comey and strzok, a trump pager, writing an exoneration months before they ever even interviewed the main people involved. >> with dozens of hostile eyes on hillary clinton's email server, there has not been one scintilla of proof -- >> sean: next question. bret baier, 99% certainty, five for an agency it has accents of that. next question. you are telling me it is not obstruction of justice. i have subpoenaed emails, 33,000 i delete, and then i acid wash and bleach but the hard drive. and then just to make sure, i take the blackberries and i smash them with a hammer. you are not telling me that's not intentional obstruction of justice? >> i am telling you that --

>> sean: true or false? >> even as he recited that with your eloquence, my eyes rolled. i don't care about hillary clinton. >> sean: you care about the law? you care about equal justice? >> i care about the president succeeding -- >> sean: he's not going to do it. >> sean, every american, geraldo included, should care if federal law enforcement officers are breaking the law. when hillary clinton was interviewed, her cosuspect was allowed to act as her counsel, and the fbi, not hillary, the fbi destroyed the laptops that were central to that investigation. geraldo, you should care about that because that means we've got -- >> i am about the future, not the past. >> one of the crime was committed against your daughter ten years ago? would you care about that? >> if you show me one victim from that whole email below

knee -- >> america! >> sean: america's national security! the nation's picked up on it, geraldo? >> a cia document? >> sean: oh, boy. we have to leave it there. when we come back, we will go into nice huge breaking news. john solomon, who broke it, is here with sara carter. that's next. stay with us.

>> sean: a top story tonight. the hills john solomon with a huge development as it relates to the fbi that is now launching a new investigation into the clinton foundation, and whether the foundation engaged in any pay to play or other illegal activities while hillary clinton was secretary of state. according to solomon, fbi agents in little rock, arkansas, where the foundation was started, have taken the lead in this investigation and have already interviewed at least one witness in the last month in additional activities are expected in

coming weeks. here development tonight. john solomon joins us along with investigative reporter sara carter. i've been saying, john, this is the year of boomerang. this is the massive development. tell us what you have. >> i think it's expected. we had a signal from the justice department, saying we may revisit some of these issues that were closed on the investigation. they interviewed people in little rock, and multiple officials told me there is an ongoing, active investigation and i remember sara being on this show months ago predicting that this was still open and something lurking out there that would come back and i think she turned out to be right. >> sean: sara, let's go back to what you report it. i had my own confirmation, november 3rd, you had it before then, in fact, the

attorney general did not recuse himself as it relates to the uranium one scandal one scandal. >> that's correct, sean. not only with regard to the reigning one scandal, all we have to do is look at what happened with the clinton foundation. we know that that actual investigation was never thoroughly shut down. it never officially closed. this is very important. there are a lot of senior fbi agents not just in little rock, in florida, and other places where they have been investigating the clinton foundation who are breathing a breath of fresh air, and i'm sure there's going to be more information coming out of the next few months. >> sean: is a going to be that long or how long will this go o? >> it's been going on for quite a while. for years, actually. i think what happened is that it was stymied. there were so many people insulating the clinton's and insulating end of the obama administration that these agents

but they couldn't move forward. some of them were actually threatened, -- >> sean: we have the witness, victoria toensing's client, and he was able to infiltrate and discover that putin's network was involved in all sorts of crimes. robert mueller of all people knew all about it. cfius still went forward 18 months later knowing bribery kickbacks, extortion, money laundering, had taken place. john, your overreporting, comey's original clinton memo release, nine separate versions? >> there were five separate instances in the original memo where he use the terms gross negligence, the felonies standard for mishandling. all of them were edited out. there is something that goes to the debate you just had with dr. sebastian gorka and mr. rivera. in the original memo, comey wrote that there was pretty clear and convincing evidence

that -- excuse me, realistic likelihood that her server he really had been penetrated by a foreign power but that got edited out to you. if you read the original version and what was eventually released, it seems like two different documents. >> sean: you are saying that comey believed that clinton's server and a mom and pop bathroom closet had been infiltrated with top-secret special classified information and foreign agencies got hold of it? >> he says it was reasonably likely that that had happened and that is something we did not hear in the press conference. these edits were significant. more substantive than i think we knew. i think there's a lot of questions on capitol hill about why would comey allow this to happen? >> sean: why did he write the exoneration months before the investigation, which is part of it. let's go to go to "the daily beast." sara, the department of justice has reopened, now that we know that the exoneration, which john is reporting about, the original copies are out.

now they are reporting, the department of justice has opened that investigation into the server again. i agree with dr. gorka. it's about the rule of law. what do you know? >> exactly. i think that's very important. it is about the rule of law and i think what we are seeing is numerous investigations, this is what was promised by the department of justice months ago, everyone was concerned, but they were talking about it publicly and i think what we are seeing is it trickling out of all of these investigations, sean, which are going to be ongoing throughout the year. they want to go back to something that john just said. this is a reason why intent was not important. when you think about comey and intent on gross negligence and all these words, extremely careless, the fact that that, fn state may have more than likely penetrated hillary clinton's email server is the reason why gross negligence is the law because we don't want people getting our classified information, particularly foreign states, and that is why

it is so extremely important. the fact that she wasn't held to the same standard that the dossier and others is something we have to question -- >> sean: he took the six pictures within the submarine, year in jail come away from his wife, kids, such a good analogy. >> he lost everything, lost all of his benefits, and he admitted to it, he lost it all -- >> sean: i hope the president pardons him. especially if we have -- okay. if the justice department -- we now are confirming all of this, john, it's been going on along. lack of time, they are not going to comment publicly on it, are they? only because both of you -- and you both really deserve so much credit here because you have been out on a limb and you have been proven right time after time while the rest of the media has ignored it. but if the justice department is doing this, and they had on that foundation, i gotta believe it

is coming soon, john. >> the thing you have to watch for, if it will get serious, we will see a grand jury impaneled impaneled, -- >> sean: do we know if one has been impaneled? >> no evidence yet. i think they are talking to witnesses. if we get to a grand jury impaneled, either case, email or foundation, i think there is some serious business ahead. >> sean: last word, sara. >> i agree with john and i see that coming in the near future. >> sean: wow. thank you for being with us. u.s. have been phenomenal. we will keep our audience up-to-date. 2018, the year of the boomerang. stay with us. the media won't cover it. we will. tomi lahren, jessica tarlov, next.

>> sean: more breaking news tonight. we are following multiple breaking stories including a bombshell report from "the hill" review revealing that the fbi is opening a new investigation into the clinton foundation and their "the daily beast" reporting that the department of justice has taken a fresh look at hillary clinton's private email scandal. and according to the airport, officials are interested in finding out how much classified information was in fact sent over clinton's server, who put that information into an unclassified environment, and how. they are also reporting that they want to know which investigators knew about these matters and when did they know

it and in light of today's report, former senior advisor to clinton, wrote on twitter, "this is definitely a political persecution." really? care with reaction, fox news contributor's tomi lahren and jessica tarlov. happy new year to both of you. >> happy new year. >> sean: okay. here it is. you have to admit, james comey months before even investigating the email servers, writing the exoneration, he had a special category for hillary. it wasn't done by the field offices of the fbi. now that they are opening the investigation into both of them, can you admit you can't write in exoneration before the investigation? >> no, i can't admit that. what i can admit -- >> sean: you can have the exoneration and then do the investigation? >> what several officials had said that it was normal practice to begin drafting what you thought the outcome would be. i take your argument but there are a number of people --

>> sean: you take your argument and dismiss it. >> i'm just saying, it is not what a number of people who have defended james comey's decision say about this. >> sean: he is doing for the guy that calls trump loathsome. and love celery. >> that guy was a john kasich supporter. >> sean: he is texting with his girlfriend, saying, -- >> sean: he was also saying i like john kasich. >> sean: let's bring in tomi lahren. tomi coming our thoughts? >> i am just wondering, jessica, when will we hear from hillary? she seems to like to talk quite a bit, usually in an anti-trump fashion. we've all this coming out about hillary, -- >> these are reopening investigations that have been settled. jeff sessions' cares of donald trump because he goes on twitter and says lock her up. he says my doj supposed to do that.

>> do you think it is important that we investigate this? do you think it is important that we investigate matters of national security? do you think that's an important step to be taken? >> 100%. that is why we did it. i am also curious, what do you think about jared kushner's use of private emails? and other white house officials? >> the secretary of state, jessica -- >> sean: jessica, we know in the clinton case, top-secret, classified information, it was all there, and that foreign agents, it was in the comey draft, had likely gotten that. >> had likely gotten it -- >> sean: she put it in a mom-and-pop shop -- >> the bathroom seems inadvisable. >> sean: and advisable? >> a little new year's humor. you don't get my jokes this yea year. everyone knows the server was a

mistake. >> sean: it was a felony! mishandling of classified information, destroying classified information is a felony! and when you bleach bit at and asked acid wash it and you deleted that is called obstruct! >> james comey did that because he wanted hillary clinton to win. what about the letter that came out before the election, that we all agreed, -- >> sean: they had no choice. >> to bring up something that was completely irrelevant to the investigation? >> jessica, despite all of this, despite the people that wanted to see hillary when max, i'm excited because the american people were too smart for it. i put that a win in our column. yes, we will talk about it because it's a matter of national security. i want to see hillary fess up. >> every week, you tell me you are done seeing her. she spoken about this. it's a mistake. i would love to know what you think about jared kushner and

the white house officials using private emails. >> sean: don't fall under her diversion, through tomi. >> fall right in, it's not even a diversion, it's completely legitimate. >> sean: touche. here's what i want to know. america doesn't have enough uranium. uranium is the foundational material for nuclear weapons. now why would we ever, why would hillary, eric holder, why would come in knowing robert mueller knew, that putin wanted to get their foothold in the uranium industry in america? he had his thugs money laundering, racketeering, and kickbacks? why would america, why would anybody ever sign off on giving a foreign entity control of uranium when we don't have enough uranium? on the surface, does that make any sense to you at all? >> it doesn't, -- >> sean: it doesn't. >> if that's what happened, but we did not transfer uranium out of the country. >> sean: and went to europe and we believe it went to asia. >> we believe it went there.

it went to allies, i believe europe and canada are our allies. that is one thing. if you are saying it wanted to -- >> sean: but we have a shortage, tomi, of uranium. we need more of it, not less of it. >> be a resource scarce? hillary clinton didn't sign off on it -- >> sean: that's a lie. >> the state department did a. >> we know it! there are so many smoking elements here and the democrats continue to play it off, we don't know, we don't know. you know nothing about this whole apparent rush of collusion either but you still bring it up every sentence. we know that hillary deleted 32,000 emails, we know about uranium one but yet he will still talk about jared kushner, a whole lot of nothing burger because he can't --dash go democrats will decide that but we haven't had a thorough investigation. >> if the deleted emails! that doesn't sound innocent to me. >> the incriminating email?

>> why would someone, as sean mentioned, why would someone delete 33,000 emails and bleach a private server that they had in a basement? why would they do that if there was nothing suspect? >> she says they were her private emails and i know they were probably more in their -- >> sean: about yoga, a funeral, and a wedding, 33,000, really, you buy that? and she said she also emailed bilbo bill doesn't have an account. >> bill clinton doesn't personally email but his tapas email. >> oh, she said bill. >> she must know that her own husband doesn't send emails. >> sean: she was asked, did you wipe the server clean with a cloth? >> it's not a funny joke, she's not a funny woman, doesn't mean she's a criminal. >> sean: laws were broken. the boomerang begins. when we come back, they hate to "hannity" hotlines and stephen colbert made me laugh. i will tell you why. straight ahead.
