sean hannity waiting in new york. >> sean: lying, pomposity, smugness, groupthink. i got it. all right, you had a great show. thank you. welcome to hannity. the echo chamber is spiraling out of control. it's become so bad. you have some of these wannabe journalists. they are absolutely losing it from last night's opening monologue. all because i dared to use, oh, jim comey's standard in order to criticize some of the left's favorite champions, including the clintons, robert mueller, t and jim comey himself. since the media is having a really hard time understanding some very simple, basic, fundamental concepts and principles, we'll help them tonight, follow the bouncing ball in a few minutes. and we will correct the record on some of the fake news t "the washington post" and others are spreading about yours truly and we will reveal now which

mobster, murderer jim comey was actually comparing your president to. be prepared to be outraged. y every fair-minded american is going to see through this. and also tonight, newai developments on mueller's never ending witch hunt. one former chairman coming to the defense of michael cohen, the president's personal attorney. we'll bring you something the mainstream media is all too happy to ignore. the president's accomplishments. when do they ever talk about that in the media? sit tight. we have a lot to get to. in tonight's breaking news opening monologue. ♪ here we are on day 330 of mueller's witch hunt into so-called trump-russia collusion. still nothing.f no evidence, zero. show us the evidence,co mr. mueller, or you can disbandz your team of merry trump-hating big democratic donating sycophants that have o questionable ethics, especially andrew weissmann.

by the way, no evidence of collusion so far. mainstream media is beginning to go off the rails for that one reason. remember, why would we be talking about stormy and karen mcdougal and all this other garbage if they had evidence of collusion? you may remember last night, jim comey compared the president of the united states to a mob boss. i used this ridiculous, sensational, political comey standard to highlight some of the crimes and misdeeds that were committed by the clintons, the way the investigation is being handled by mueller and even comey himself has issues. i take a look. mr. comey, you're really going to compare the sitting president of the united states to a mob boss so you can make money? people that are tied to murder, drugs, money laundering, extortion, prostitution, loan-sharking, and all sorts of other racketeerings crimes. i guess since comey, if he is going to use the sweeping analogy, i've decided we're going to use the comey standard, i call it, and make some comparisons of our own. we are doing what comey did. i also issued a tweet last night

during the show to try to help some of these idiots in the abusively biased news media actually understand my monologue which they weren't understanding. so fake news, please, i am trying to help you follow the bouncing ball. i said this is the comey standard, and i'm sure that youi are upset that the former fbi director literally, he was commenting and comparing a sitting president to the mob.r you know, murderers, drug dealers, involved in extortion, loan-sharking, prostitution. by the way, breaking tonight, now we have more details.lo abc news reporting that the actual mobster that comey was comparing the president who was none other than sammy "the bull" gravano, an infamous hit man responsible for 19 murders. that's the fbi director comparing the president of the united states to him.th and other felonies of course. now, despite my very clear analogy, you have to really try hard not to get it, about comey's ridiculous comparison. this still caused many in the mainstream media to become

completely and totally unglued, even emotional. these people were frankly, they are so dumb. they really are. it's actually kind of laughable, but they are.b. take a look. >> who needs tv guide when they have potus? we will show you exactly what president trump was promoting through his twitter page last night. it was one of his stooges doing a show that really helps the president. it's incredible. staggering. >> bob mueller, whatever you want to say about him, this is not taking a position on his investigation, he served this country for his entire life. to call him the head of a crime family, that's new territory. >> it is beneath contempt. sean hannity is a desperate, desperate man, desperately defending a desperate, desperate president. >> i want to get your reaction to sean hannity calling robert mueller a crime boss. >> i spent four and a half years by robert mueller.

this is a storied prosecutor, one of the most legendary fbi directors. you've got that dirt bag telling me that one of the most storied fbi directors ever is a crime boss? you put them side-by-side and tell me what we've got here. facts are facts. robert mueller is an american legend. the president is a dirt bag. i don't know what to tell you. i'm so mad. >> president trump's tweet tonight from a big show on sean hannity. p at 9:00 on fox. if you watched hannity, you would see this. the show hitting james comey and highlighting what hannity calls the mueller crime family. this is a message the president wants? >> sean: i would suggest you might want to talk to the four families involved in the case, "whitey" bulger, they were innocent and put in jail and got over $100 million payout. b or you can ask your good friend mr. mueller, why would he hire someone like andrew weissmann? liberal joe, you're just dumb. nothing to really say to you.

not to be outdone, the print media also chiming in. "the washington post" called the "conspiratorial." i guess they haven't been watching msnbc and cnn fake news for a year and a half. these so-called journalists, did they even watch last night's monologue or that were they to dumb to follow a simple analogy? as i said last night, let's help them follow the bouncing ball.e so even they can get it. i will talk slowly so the mainstream media understands. comey was the director of the fbi.re he compared the president to a mob boss. now we know it is sammy "the bull" gravano. i called comey out on what he did and i talked about what real mob bosses are like and we reminded them about al capone and lucky luciano and john gotti. then i used the former director's criminalization of political differences, now known as the comey standard, to call out the misdeeds and frankly the crimes of a few champions of the left wing in this country.

let's start with hillary clinton. we know she committed felonies with her email server, and we know she obstructed justice. robert mueller, great reputation, he locked upp innocent people in cases he's been involvedg in. he staffed his russia investigation with trump-hating democratic donors, including his so-called "new york times," as they call him and describe them, legal pit bull andrew weissmann. this man's track record is atrocious. as we have explained.ck and jim comey, of course, grossly mishandled the clintonss email investigation. we will learn more when the ig we will learn more when the ig report finally comes out and potentially linked classified documents that resulted in the appointment of his bff robert mueller is the special counsel. that's privileged information, government documents we are talking about. one of the reason the media's coverage of last night's monologue was so completely unhinged is because president trump issued a tweet prompting people to watch last night's show. he has done this occasionally, and i'm very thankful.pl i had no idea that the presiden, was planning to tweet.i i'm glad he did. there was no coordinated effortn

i start my monologue at 8:00 or 9:00 in the morning and we keep building it all day. i have the time lines to show00 when i brought up this idea. from the time i read what comey had said. it didn't stop "the washington post" accusing me of being a shadow white house press secretary, which is funny, and colluding with the president. okay, they have lost theirec minds. this is complete and total fake news b.s. the best part is, if they actually wanted to know the truth, maybe they could have picked up a telephone to call me or call fox. do some actual journalism. i spend my free hours when i am not on air calling people all the time. so i can be the most informed person that i can possibly be. as i said many times, journalism in this country is dead. it's dead and buried and has been since 2007. instead of reporting facts, the so-called news outlets literally push their own political narrative, all while hiding

behind this feigned moral outrage, this moral facade, and calling themselves journalism. journalists. while the mainstream media gets mad, i'm an opinion journalist host. by the way, frankly, we broke more news on this program that they have broken in a year and a half. they echo the same talking points every night. e they are totally happy to forget about all the former fbi director comey's misdeeds, including leaking potentially classified privileged notes to the press to set up a special counsel. his potential weaponization of the fisa court system. the special treatment he gave hillary clinton, who we know committed felonies, during that email investigation. he wrote the letter exonerating clinton in may before he interviewed her in july and 17 other key witnesses. remember when comey lied aboutnd this very subject in front of congress while under oath, he lied about it. we have him in his own words, we have the videotape. let's go to the videotape.

>> director, did you make the decision not to recommend criminal charges related to classified information before or after hillary clinton was interviewed by the fbi on july 2? >> after. if colleagues of ours believe i am lying about when i made the decision, please urge them to contact me privately so we can have a conversation. i can tell you the decision was made after that because i didn't know what was going to happen in the interview. she maybe lied during the interview in a way we could prove. >> sean: in case, we wrote the exoneration months earlier. oh, and interview by peter strzok. that's right, the trump-hating guy. despite all of this, the mainstream media, their friends in the democratic partyy are treating comey like the anti-trump golden goose. i guess they forgot how much they actually hated him during the investigation of hillary clinton. here is comey's best friend's today. watch this. >> the extent to which the fbi director of the united states is allowing himself to be

interjected into this political campaign. unprecedented. >> james comey is getting horrible advice.te he's interfering in this election. i don't understand what the guy's doing. >> he's got a big burden of proof, so to speak. on him for what he did, for what seems to be such an appalling output goes againstct the tradition of prosecutors at every level ofit government. when i heard about it, i found it hard to believe that comey, who i thought i had some degree of integrity, would do this. >> it's conceivable this was just a coincidence but coming on top of the director comey's very unusual and controversial release last week, it makes the fbi look like a wing of the republican party. m >> i think he made a mistake on this. and he clearly has a double standard. >> whether or not comey's intervention has affected the presidential race, it's clear

that his disclosure and theav spate of warring fbi leaks have raised serious questions about the fbi's integrity and impartiality. o >> the integrity of comey as well as the fbi, it makes you wonder. >> we are disturbed by the letter, which broke precedent. over the advice of the leaders in the justicece department. i am not challenging mr. comey's motivation but i think it was unwarranted, it was a mistake. >> i am so disappointed in comey. he has let the country down. for partisan purposes. i'm calling him the new j. edgar hoover because i believe it. >> do you believe jim comey should resign, senator reid? >> of course. yes. i >> sean: they hated him. now the media is back in love with james comey and the montage is just another piece of evidence proving that facts do not matter to the people and left, only ideology. speaking of james comey, and his impending salacious media blitz that, the media is hysterical

about, "the new york post" reporting one of the so-called major nuggets in his new book is that donald trump allegedly asked the former fbi director to investigate this infamous, completely untrue, unverified ritz-carlton moscow hookers urinating in a bed story by michael steele, the foreign national guy that was paid to get russian propaganda to manipulate the american voters. why would a sitting president want to go to an fbi director? i hope you can dispel this. if, in fact, he thought it was true. the president is saying that's not true. can you find out that it's not true? can you report that it's not true? wouldn't you want to do the same?t we'll have more on that later. now we turn to some other developments, including those surrounding robert mueller's overreaching witch hunt. former federal election commission chairman bradley smith, a republican appointed by president clinton, throwing cold water on the notion that michael cohen could or should be charged with a crime in connection to the whoe stormy daniels payment.

he wrote the following.nt when you stretch the law to "get a political opponent, it's rarely possible to return the law to its original shape." someone who was never part of the trump campaign but instead a longtime employee of the trump organization, smith is arguing that cohen's payment is a perfectly legitimate business move. any attempt to connect it to an in-kind contribution is an extreme stretch. it doesn't fit. we have discussed many times mueller and his pit bull andrew weissmann, they are no strangers to stretching the law in order to squeeze a suspect. earlier today, president trump held a routine meeting with mueller's boss, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. this comes after rosenstein finally, after being threatened with contempt of congress, again, he doesn't want to give anything up that's been subpoenaed and requested by congress. finally he allowed chairman devin nunes and chairman gowdy to see the document that started

the fbi so-called trump-russia collusion investigation. we'll have more on that later in the show. first we have some good news to bring you about the president. i guarantee you nobody else inod the media will talk about it. earlier today, the president and the speech in the rose garden was highlighting something the media will never talk about. it's not russia and it's not stormy. his accomplishments improving the lives of the american people. for groton men and women that voted in november of 2016. >> we have created 3 million new jobs since the election.pl unemployment claims are at their lowest level in nearly 50 years. think of that. something i am very proud about, unemployment rates for hispanics and african-americans have reached the lowest level ever recorded. ever recorded. think of that. for women, the lowest levels in 19 years. so we have really good numbers. something a lot of people didn't

think was going to happen, wages are rising at the fastest pace in over a decade. we are cutting record numbers of regulations. we have cut more regulations in a year and a quarter than any administration, whether it's four years, eight years, or in one case, 16 years. we are also unleashing american energy and american energye independence. we are now an exporter of energy. we are doing 10 million barrels a day. nobody thought they would see this. we are cracking down on unfair trade deals. we are taking strong action tore secure our border. stop illegal immigration and restore the rule of law, and we passed the biggest tax cut and reform in american history. >> sean: make no mistake. the amount of accomplishments.

from this administration, this is historic. i've never seen the media talk about this. major tax cuts, negotiated trade deals, rolling back of job-killing obama era regulations.ut concessions from china in the last week on tariffs and intellectual property rights. progress towards denuclearization of the korean peninsula. and so much more. while the media is all too happy to completely ignore all of these achievements that actually matter in people's lives, we are going to continue to show you what's really happening. as we say, many times on this program, we will never be the destroy trump media. fair and balanced, that's our commitment. we are the only balance it seems. joining is now fox news contributor, former arkansas governor mike huckabee. nra tv contributor dan bongino. governor, i will scroll the accomplishments of the president.or he mentioned them today. as you see them, it's never reported. not sometimes, not once in a while, never. denuclearization, putin pulled

his ships out of syria. n looks like he's capitulating. china, intellectual property, oo all of these accomplishments, not a single word, governor, and is always russia and stormy and whatever other bizarre thing this investigation is involved in. >> i was listening to your monologue, the one thing that really struck me was that there is a consistency. james comey has been incredibly inconsistent. the media has been inconsistent, as have politicians, about comey but there's one consistency. they all universally cannot stand president donald trump. and that's the one thing that holds true. they thought james comey was the worst person imaginable. now that he's written this incredible fiction where he's basically breaking his arm patting himself on the back, you would think he's the next mother teresa. what changed? what changed was that james

comey, now he has turned on donald trump and that has the media all in just a completete froth because they are excited about that. no, they are never going to tell the things that you just outlined in terms of thehe accomplishment because it defies their narrative that he's not a capable and competent president. the record shows he is. >> sean: dan bongino, a look at what this evolved into. they didn't find anything. we are here because they didn't find any evidence of collusion. i'm pretty sure we would have known about it by now because they leak everything. not a little bit. pretty much everything gets leaked out. now it's moved into stormy daniels and karen mcdougal and the access hollywood tape and worse. and raiding the home of the president's personal attorney to find those issues, not aboutut russia, at some point, i am wondering where is the left in this country?

where are the civil libertarians in the country? >> they are gone, sean. sean the media is terrified because they realized bob mueller is in deep trouble. public approval ofec his investigation is collapsing. people are starting to realize that this is a witch hunt. there was no russia collusion. there never will be russian collusion. trump is not afraid of russian collusion because there was none. but sean, mueller is deeply conflicted. what those cnn hacks won't tell you, as they attack you, they don't do investigative journalism. they do propaganda. >> sean: i want residuals. they ran my tape so much today, i want them to pay me. jeff zucker needs to pay me. >> i'm appearing on tonight's show. do i get some of those residuals? [laughter] >> sean: it's like a rerun of "hannity." if you want my show, you should have bid for it. >> they are investigating. the crime is that trump was spied on without the evidence to do it. you know who vetted the t information at the department of justice? bob mueller's own chief of staff john carlin. by the way, do you know who is

representing susan rice as her attorney right now? when they reached out to her to explain? kathryn ruemmler. you know kathryn ruemmler was? barack obama's general counsel who also worked for andrew weissmann in the enron case and? is friendly with bob mueller. tell me there is no conflict, cnn. do your homework.n >> sean: great point. let me ask governor huckabee, what would you advise the president? there is two schools of thought. that he fights back or that he lets his attorney handle it.ts >> i think let the attorneys handle it. when he is at the podium and when he's at the microphone, he needs to focus on the accomplishments of his administration and there are many. he's got a great story to tell, and he's the best one to tell it. >> sean: do you agree, dan? >> yeah, he's got a story to tell. you are darn right. those tax cuts alone and the economy will be the bread and butter issues, ride him into

reelection. >> sean: the biggest abuse the country'sew history. when we come back, fake news cnn dr. gorka, jason chaffetz next. my name is jeff sheldon,

this certainly is a big one. i want to read just a few of the quotes from "the new york post" as obtained, the comey memoir aa obtained by "the new york post." regarding comey and trump. he brought up what he called the golden shower thing, adding that it bothered him if there was "even a 1% chance" melania thought it was true. it goes on. he just ruled on unprompted, explaining why he couldn't possibly be true, ending by saying he was thinking of asking me tong investigate the allegations to prove it was alive. i said it was up to him. >> sean: that is cnn's bombshell? that is comey's bombshell? this is ridiculous. joining us now with reaction, former deputy assistant of to president trump, fox news national securityy strategist dr. sebastian gorka.

and fox news contributor jason chaffetz. if lies were paid for, we didn't know probably at the time, if lies were told about you, wouldn't you, you are talking to the fbi director and it's a fake, phony dossier to manipulate the minds of the american people, and it's full of lies you know aren't true. what do you want to say? can you find out that's not true? isn't that the natural reaction? >> all that we know know for sure is that james comey is a liar, and cnn are a bunch of perverts. that's all you need, that's the bombshell. the president knew it wasn't true because we know it's true because it was a russian information operation paid for by hillary, and he wants to have his director of the fbi proved to the world, not just his wife, as you would want, that it isn't true. these guys are so disconnected from reality and so disconnected

from the american people. it's not surprising that nobody watches them and they have to pay for airports to put their shows on. >> sean: good point. touche. there is a bigger issue, congressman, and it is that liberals hated james comey. harry reid wanted him out.t said he shouldn't be the director of the fbi. now you see this guy. i think he has legal issues. tell me if i'm wrong. leaking privileged information.. leaking it to somebody for the purpose of getting a special counsel appointed. did he lie to trump in january 2017 when he said that the dossier was unverified and salacious or when they were presenting it to a fisa court judge in a fisa application to spy on an american, as the grassley-graham memo says, as the bulk of information as

andrew weissmann said, no dossier, no fisa warrant request or application. when did he lie?be october 2016 or january 2017? >> i think director comey has a series of serious legal challenges. he testified under oath inh tht question by john radcliffe about when did he make the decision whether or not she was guilty or not guilty or was she going to be charged? i should say. and it was clearly writing this out multiple times before. s you had senator grassley ask him directly, was he party to releasing information surreptitiously? he was definitive in saying no, only to learn later that that wasn't true. >> sean: isn't it illegal? if i went to congress and lied before for congress. what i would be in? >> you should. you remember, we asked the fbi, we asked director comey directly, myself and bob goodlatte, chairman of the judiciary committee, did hillary clinton lie under oath? he said they never had a referral. we sent them a referral.

guess what? they never got back to us. never considered any of that material when he lied under oath. >> sean: did hillary clinton violate the law, 183usc793ub congressman? mishandling of classified, top-secret.ea did hillary clinton, do you think she obstructed justice when she deleted subpoenaed emails, acid washed her hard drive, beat up her devices? is that a crime? is it an obstruction of justice, sir? >> absolutely. that's what the fbi director told us she did. >> sean: dr. gorka, did he rig the investigation by exonerating her before the investigation? >> not only did he rig the investigation in her favor because he thought she would be the next president. o not only did she obstruct. justice by the bleach bit and destroying the evidence, guess what. the fbi agents did the same thing when they didn't put her under oath and destroyed the hard drives, and that goes back to comey. >> sean: unbelievable. this is where we are.he congressman, the inspector general report, are we

ever going to get the report investigating all of this that should prove all of this?sp >> about two weeks out, as besth i can tell, and then i think that will be the true bombshell. that's the thing we actually should be paying attention to ar a country. >> sean: i agree. interesting timing, it's going to be after comey's book tour, after comey's release of the book and interviews. it will be interesting. when we come back, president trump gives an update on whether there will in fact be u.s. military action in syria. we have a live report from the region. piers morgan joins us tonight. wait until you hear his comments about what's going on with the president. ♪ about what's going on

(group conversation) ♪wooooo oo waa ahhh

♪it's a beautiful mornin' thank you ♪ahhh, ah ahhh ♪each bird >> we are having a meeting today on syria and we're having a number of meetings today. we will see what happens. obviously we're looking at that very closely. i will be leaving here. i was there and now i'll be going back as soon as this meeting is over.

but we are looking very, very seriously, very closely at the whole situation and we will see what happens. we will see what happens. it's too bad that the world puts us in a position like that.t but as i said this morning, we have done a great job with isis. we have absolutely decimated isis. but now we have to make some further decisions. so they will be made fairly soon. >> sean: that was the president earlier today. the white house giving an update on the potential for u.s. military action on syria. the president's remarks weren't the only comments coming out ofe the administration concerning syria. joining us live from jerusalem tonight with much more, fox news correspondent mike tobin.t mike, what's the latest? >> sean, i can tell you the tension is thick in syria, frankly all around the region as the potential for military strikes looms overhead. the guided missile destroyer uss donald cook is already in the mediterranean sea, carrying roughly 75 tomahawk missiles in 20 surface-to-air missiles. a french frigate with 60 cruise missiles on board has been deployed. british submarines are moving into position.

the carrier uss harry truman departed norfolk yesterday. accompanied by seven u.s. warship. this, as defense secretary james mattis says he believes chemical weapons were used in syria and he called that inexcusable. secretary of state nominee mike pompeo said the president willne not need to seek any additional authorization for the use of military force if the decision is made to strike. >> i believe that he has the authority he needs to do that. i don't believe we need a new aumf for the president to engage in that activity you described. >> russian forces moving into douma today. bashar al-assad's army is there to be in control. the holdouts for opposition militias during this bloodied and drawn out civil war. following the incident widely believed to be a chemical attack, the only remaining militia, the army of islam, surrendered its weapons. the russians are said to be

military police but they are ahead of the fact-finding team.s that gives rise to the suspicioy that they could manipulate the evidence ahead of the inspectors. sean? >> sean: mike tobin in israel. thank you, sir. joining us now with more t reaction, the host of "war stories," colonel oliver north is with us. when you see that russia pulled out their ships, there is obviously anticipation of af strike. moscow's threats of shooting american missiles out of the sky. a do you believe that's a possibility and will we be prepared for that? >> sean, 32 years ago tonight, we were doing the final target list for the strike on libya. what i did as i went through the targets that were publicly known. not just ours, everybody knows. what we would have to do and the sequence we have to do it in. the first hit, air defense sites. you have to take out the air

defenses to make multiple strikes possible. second, you hit the civil military airport and the aleppo airport because those are the primary air links to the outside world.he take out the fuel farms, towers. fixed wing aircraft assets that assad has been using to deliver the chemical weapons. that'll stop it. third, if you have to mind the seaports, take out the piers. road links. you are punishing him for using these weapons. he can't get replacements once that's gone. the russian ships, as you point out, did sortie from their base but the pipelines and tanker trucks lined up outside the base are fair game. >> sean: do you have anyd doubt -- >> damascus and assad's presidential palace. just like we did with qaddafi, target assad. the syrians and russians are billeted separately at the military bases. we know which is which. russians stay home, syrians go

away. for good measure, crater the runway to the militaryo airfield to make sure he can't use it again. >> sean: is moscow lying trying to blame the rebels? we are going to talk to mr. hoffman in just a second. and he says they don't have the means, meaning the rebels, to deliver the weapons. >> here's how you know that the russians are lying. their lips are moving. the bottom line is, using chemical weapons against one of their former spies in great britain, they are liars. >> sean: one of those planes behind colonel north actuallyy once, me, colonel north, and the great one mark levin were in the plane in the worst plane ride we've ever had ever. >> still around, buddy.

>> sean: safe home. "war stories" fox business network. joining us now, retired cia intelligence officer, daniel hoffman. let me go to the same question. obviously colonel north, you want to know if russia is lying, they are moving their lips. the bigger question here is there is no confirmation. they are not letting outsiders into determine what's happenedfi here.. they are trying to say it actually didn't happen and if it did, it's the rebels who did it' you are saying there is no possible way the rebels could've delivered those chemical weapons, killing or targeting men, women, and children and killing them.d c >> right, that's a sideshow. i think what really matters and what i would highlight for viewers to add a couple points to colonel north's outstanding military assessment, our a administration is being very deliberate over the past couplen of days. they are carefully choosing some of the sites. i'm sure the ones colonel north mentioned. we're doing aerial n reconnaissance and other intelligence collection so we can determine with some degree of certainty who is there and what sort of equipment is there.

then, we are delivering a strong message. the president did it his way by twitter, including that way and other means as well. that we are serious about striking. so the russians know we're coming. look, it's international law. we have a duty to protect, that's something the clinton h administration didn't do in rwanda. we have a duty to protect the syrian civilians who are being targeted so ruthlessly by the assad regime. >> sean: your job, for all of those years that you worked with the cia, you know russia. i know that devin nunes warned president obama in 2014 that they wanted to impact the 2016 elections and create chaos inpr the country, just like they dide in previous elections. you are saying this is typical m.o. although we haven't heard from putin, we are hearing from "moscow." >> you are hearing a little bit from their army chief of staff who is promising to target us if we hit them. from my experience, one of the great things about being a cia officer who served in moscow isi

our administration relies on intelligence collection. colonel north is right. when the russians are talking to you publicly, there's a lot of lies coming out of their mouths. that's why we rely on human intelligence and signals intelligence to understand their plans. >> sean: people are skeptical after iraq about intelligence. >> and that's okay to be skeptical and hold us to a high standard. that's why we have oversight committees. i'm sure the national security council and the president are asking for the best intelligence we've got, and i know from having served with those professionals, that they deliver. >> sean: thank you for being with us. we appreciate your insight. when we come back, insanity from the left wing on television in this country. saying that they favor kim jong un and vladimir putin over president trump and by the way, if there's riots, it's going to be fun to watch. really? piers morgan next. ♪ next.

♪ ♪ >> sean: mainstream media has a hard time hiding their contempt for president trump. listen to what "the view"'s joy behar had to say. >> my issue is moral relativism between someone like kim jong un and putin and president trump. it's easy to say that but -- >> do you think kim jong un is less moral than trump?p? >> oh, myha god. aiding and abetting assad. gassing children, last time i checked, america isn't doing that to anyone. it's hard for me to sit here with moral relativism about many things with trump. if you think kim jong un, vladimir putin, bashar al-assad and president trump are the same thing -- >> let me clarify.

what i'm saying is i see that the two of them are backing off of war and i see trump provoking war. >> sean: joining us with reaction, editor at large at the dailymail.com, piers morgan. didn't we compete against each other? weren't we enemies? we were always fine. good to see you, sir. >> great to be back on the show. you are always charming ino victory i have to say. >> sean: charming nothing. it was never personal. 100,000 other channels. i am trying to compete against all of them. you say mueller's team is panicking and fishing. i agree with you. i don't think they have everin found anything related to collusion, and they just keep springing off into - other- he is an absolute right to fire james a comey. and it's actually scary in terms of what i believe is a fishing expedition, and i think you agree with that. >> i do, and actually i find it extraordinary that james comey, a former boss at the fbi, is a

able to write a sort of tell-all book right in the middle of the mueller investigation.n. manywouldn't happen in other countries. you wouldn't be allowed to do this. peddling all sorts of lurid and ridiculous details to the worldd it makes me think this. donald trump fired him because he didn't trust him. he was right, wasn't he? when you read this stuff pouring out of his book, donald trump was absolutely right not to trust james comey. in relation to the wider mueller probe, i think what's happening here is that they tried to get the proof on russian collusion. they wanted to prove the world that donald trump collaborated with the russians to fix the w election. that's why he won. no other reason. t has to be that. so far, they have singularly failed to establish it. now they are moving the goal posts. now they are moving to staff about his private life with alleged allegations involving women going back more than 10, 15 years.

two things about this, sean. i don't think people care about donald trump's sex life. i don't think it's on the same scale of misdemeanor, even if it happened, to what we saw happen with democratic president bill clinton.n let's not remind ourselves had sexual relations with an intern in the oval office while he was president.le thirdly, i don't think the voters care. i don't think people are going, "wow, can you believe donald trump had a few flings ten or 15 years ago?" to me, they are going after him to embarrass them, diminish him, degrade him as president. and i think it's because they are unable to get the russia collusion line to stick.s >> sean: nbc news is supposed to be a trusted news organization. they are actually saying tonight that robert mueller is going to report on at least four findings of trump and

obstruction of justice. one, the intent to fire mueller, not that he fired him. that he had a thought. it's like okay, we are going to punish his thought. the second one is, oh, did he craft a statement about theht meeting in trump tower? did he talk of pardoning witnesses? the power of pardon, as you know, piers, is absolute for a u.s. president. fourth, pressuring jeff sessions not to recuse himself.u. he didn't have time because jeff sessions didn't tell him he was recusing himself, and he recused himself the day after he was confirmed. so i am listening -- this is what represents news. you live in great britain. i love tabloid news. you guys are great at it. we have pretty good tabloid newt in new york. thise is such garbage, and yet i think -- >> it is. it is, sean. what you just played from joy behar, let's remind ourselves what she just said. on a mainstream show to america,

she has actually said that donald trump is somehow worse than kim jong un or vladimir putin.ha kim jong un is one of the world's worst, if the not worst, dictator. a man who has repressed his people beyond any scale we have seen in modern times.ss he starves them, beats them, tortures them, kills them.nd we had an american student who was tortured and later died after being held in terrible captivity for nearly two years a because he took a poster off the wall. that's the kind of person you are talking about with kim jong un. a man who, along with his father, for three decades, he has threatened to destroy a america at every chance he can. >> sean: comey comparing -- >> we are supposed to believe the president of the united states is worse?se i think it's ridiculous. >> sean: comey comparing the president to one of the most infamous murderers of all time. sammy "the bull." piers, thank you for being with us. the most crazy benchrs clearing brawl in baseball next. ♪
