some point, something has got to come of it. that's a lot. >> tucker: do you really think if you did a segment like that every day for a week, you would reassess maybe this was the job for you? maybe you should sell insurance. things were a great night. sean hannity right now. >> sean: tucker, you can't make this stuff up. my opening monologue in just a few minutes. first, we have sad news to report tonight. former first lady barbara bush died earlier this evening at the age of 92. for the very latest, we go to casey stegall standing by. >> hey, sean. good evening to you. we are outside of the front gates of the bush family neighborhood. we have not seen any activity since this announcement came down. it's right here in a very elite part of west houston, only about 20 or 30 homes or so back in the neighborhood. as you know, this is extremely private and these affairs are

choreographed to a t, months of advanced planning has been going on behind the scenes for this very moment. and privacy of course is of the utmost concern and priority. now we have seen a couple of people, we assume houston residents or houstonians, as they refer to themselves, showing up here with some signs and flowers outside the gates. then of course, nearly every single politician on the planet has been sending out statements and well wishes, taking to social media. president trump tweeting not long ago, "melania and i join the nation and celebrating the life of barbara bush." in an attached statement, he lauded her for being an advocate of the american family, calling one of her greatest achievement achievements, her work with literacy. mrs. bush had struggled with health problems like copd, which is a pulmonary disease. also congestive heart failure and a thyroid condition known as graves' disease.

but most people seem to be infatuated with the love story. she and george herbert walker bush, the longest married couple in the united states presidential history. they met at a christmas dance. to be in 1945 and just celebrated 73 years of marriage. sean, a little note to end on tonight. family members say, since they have been together, all this time, every night, george bush said "i love you, barbara." tonight, he is going to bed alone. back to you. >> sean: thank you. she was an amazing woman and we'll talk more about the legacy, the life of barbara bush coming up later in the show. our prayers go out to the family tonight. meanwhile, also, there is a bombshell report from "the washington post" alleging that mike pompeo met with north korean north korean leader kim jong un over the easter weekend. here with more information on that for mar-a-lago's fox news

chief white horse correspondent john roberts. john, that is a big development. >> sean, good evening to you. first of all, kudos to "the washington post" because everybody that we have contacted from the white house to the cia to people who are at the nfc emperor of really attached to intelligence have all said, this is something that we cannot comment on. no comment, which would seem to give a little more credence to the idea that "the washington post" article is in fact accurate and as a reporter tonight, mike pompeo, the cia director, went up young young over the eastern weekend and sat down to have face-to-face talks with kim jong un. the premise of those talks would have been to lay the groundwork for a possible meeting between kim jong un and president trump. president trump has been speaking, since easter, very positive terms come up as a potential for a meeting with kim jong un, saying it could happen sometimes in late may or maybe even early june. today at mar-a-lago, as he was meeting with the japanese

prime minister shinzo abe, president trump indicating that hawks had been taking place at the highest levels, lead us to believe for a short. lack of time earlier today that it might have been the president himself who had telephone conversations with kim jong un. now we learn from "the washington post" that it was his cia director. listen to how the president was putting it tonight at mar-a-lag mar-a-lago. >> who in the administration had talked with north korea directly, sir? speaker we've had a talk at highest level. let's leave it a little bit short at that. we've had talks at the highest level. it's going very well. we'll see what happens. >> the white house actually issued a clarification tonight, shawn, when it was believed in might have been a president who spoke to kim jong un. they said, no, talks at the highest levels, which again would lend credence to the report that it was the cia director mike pompeo. the president also went further than he has gone before when

meeting with shinzo abe and talking to the press pool to say that a possible location for a meeting between president trump and kim jong un, this would absolutely be historic, sean, has been narrowed down to five possible locations. the president wouldn't say with those locations where but i'm told a couple of potentials might be hanoi, vietnam, because vietnam come up until recently,d pretty good relations with north korea. also singapore, i am told, was a possibility. it looks like those talks would not be held on on the korean fm peninsula nor were they be held in beijing or moscow because anything that was said during those meetings would instantaneously go to the heirs of the chinese and russians. so they have to find some sort of semineutral third ground to meet on here. it looks like they are close. sean? >> sean: john roberts, amazing possible denuclearization of the korean peninsula. we will follow that vary closely. also, the liberal mainstream media is ignoring massive

scandals in all kinds of positive news about the trump administration, instead, they want to attack yours truly. so tonight, we are going to call out the liberal media's tangled, incestuous webs, full of corruption, conflict, and the partisan press has been screaming about transparency for the past 24 hours. they don't practice what they preach. it's a massive double standard. it reaches just about every single so-called news organization in the country. also tonight, new evidence at the head of fake news cnn, jeff zucker and his network have their sick, twisted porn obsession continuing. they cannot stop talking about the unverified so-called pee tape, james comey saying that he has never watched "hannity," talking about me. we will cover all of that of so much more in tonight's breaking news monologue. ♪ if you bothered watching a fake news media in the past 24 hours, which i do not recommend, you may have noticed they have a

new obsession, and a new target to feign their moral outrage at, and they have decided to hyperventilate and go wall-to-wall with historical coverage approached me. now the media in this country has zero credibility. we have known this for over a decade. we have been exposing the media for what they really are. they are frauds. they are partisan hacks. and frankly, nothing more than extension of the democratic party, all things liberal. and pretty much all they do a spiritual liberal talking points and of course, attack president trump 24/7, all in an attempt to damage, delegitimize his presidency. naturally, when people dare to tell the truth about the president, and his accomplishments, and report on what is the biggest abuse of power scandal in american history, yeah, i'm not surprised i become a 24/7 targets. the media wants to tear this president down. that is what they want. they hate conservatism, they hate anybody that dares to challenge their rigid, radical,

left-wing ideology. now all of this perfectly explains why they have been going so hard after me and just simply refused to believe the truth that i told them. by the way, it is not the first time they have done it to me and others and it won't be the last. now thankfully, people are saying what is happening. other conservatives are calling at this massive double standard. this hypocrisy, from the liberal media, and god knows these so-called journalists want to it themselves. earlier today, the king of talk radio, rush limbaugh, the great one mark levin, both exposing what the liberal media is doing. let's start with rush, what he said on his radio show earlier today. >> let me tell you what this so-called attack on sean hannity is, what it really, really is. it is another, and a long line, and a many years of effort to destroy the credibility of

advocates for conservative conservative/republican or anti-democrat issues and personalities. the purpose of this is not to put hannity in legal jeopardy, although they would love to if they could. but the real purpose here is to simply discredit hannity as a known effective public advocate for donald trump. donald trump is the enemy. donald trump must be sent packing. donald trump most not politically survive. and the people who make effective cases for trump are going to be hit and are going to be targeted. but there is so much glaring hypocrisy. hypocrisy never sticks to these people on the left. the defined collusion. they define conflict of interes interest. they are architects of deceit. they are never forthcoming about

who they really are. and if you try to find out, if you try to do an investigative reporter and some of these people, they start squealing like stuck pigs, that you can't because they are protected by the first amendment. they are journalists, and as such, they are never the story, you can't talk about them. >> sean: an amazing takedown by rush. and he's right. the media cannot stand the fact that there are people like us that challenge the liberal, partisan worldview. they hate that we want to lick country under president trump to actually succeed and help the forgotten men and women that are under poverty come out of the labor force, on food stamps, tht we believe in the constitution, that we believe in equal justice under the law, equal application under the law. we support reagan style free-market principles and a strong national defense. now the media also can't stomach that we expose the deep state. one of the biggest abuses of

power in american history, which they have been a ignoring, despite mountains of evidence for months, as they go with ther unproven conspiracy theories. so i'm not surprised that the media's going after me. it's predictable, it's pathetic. here's the truth. the media is guilty of every single solitary thing they have been accusing me of over the last 24 hours. the media is the sewer. they are the swamp. as part of this incestuous, corruption and conflict, and they sure as heck don't want to talk about or care about transparency. here is just a few examples why. take a look at abc news dortch of anapolis, the so-called journalists are secure the version. with disgraced former fbi director james comey, the guy who was literally carrying out a personal vendetta against president trump. did george stephanopoulos ever disclosed the fact that during the interview that he worked on bill clinton's '92 campaign and was their communications director and then served in the clinton white house as a senior

advisor? since the liberal media appears to be suffering from amnesia, here's a clip from a documentary, it is called "the war room." george stephanopoulos advocating for the contents. take a look. >> i can give you names, addresses, phone numbers of who you had an affair with. it wouldn't make it true. it is completely believe. if you want on the radio and said that bill clinton is the father of an illegitimate black child, you'd be left out. people would think you are crazy. i guarantee you that if you do this, you will never work in democratic politics again. maybe you don't want to come i'm not saying it matters. you will be embarrassed by the national press corps. people think -- nobody will believe you and people will think you are scum. >> sean: you'll be embarrassed. never work in national politics again. he sounds like a threat. did george stephanopoulos reveal any of that, before, during, after this it down with connie, remind his audience? how about he donated 75 grand to

the clinton foundation, which he didn't reveal to his viewers during an interview with peter schweizer back in 2015. stephanopoulos had to apologize after being exposed. but there was not wall-to-wall coverage of that. and all that explains why stephanopoulos put on the kid gloves i didn't ask james comey the tough questions. now one thing is just the fact: i am honest about who i am and what my political beliefs are. in unapologetic conservative. i am a trump supporter. i support reagan economic policies and peace through strength. for example, where is the follow-up question when comey admitted he didn't tell donald trump that hillary clinton paid for the unverified dossier, which by the way he was used to get a fisa warrant to spy on an american. watch this. >> did you tell him that this bat dossier had been financed by his political opponents? >> no. i didn't use the term steele dossier. i just talked about additional material. figure did he have a right to

know that? speaketh that it had been financed by his political opponents? it wasn't necessary for my goal, which was to alert him that we had this information. >> sean: george stephanopoulos, he's a journalist, right? why didn't he ask comey to respond to the information in the grassley-graham memo that the bulk of the fisa application to spy on a trump campaign associate consisted of the dossier that he didn't vet. he had a legal obligation and fbi protocol obligation to do. why didn't stephanopoulos ask if comey applied to a fisa court and federal judges on four's separate occasions by not revealing that the dossier was funded by hillary clinton and the dnc whose finances she controlled. why didn't he ask comey to respond to what is former deputy director andrew mccabe said about the dossier, without it, there never would have been a fisa application. and the list goes on. now stephanopoulos, he lobbed softball question after softball question, never challenged or pressed comey.

why should he? he got the first interview. why should he? he's friends with the clintons. over their fake new cnn, you have jake tapper, i will let the great one, mark levin, handel e his part. >> jake tapper, he was a spokesman for a congresswoman or was from the 13th congressional district of pennsylvania. her son married chelsea clinton. i mentioned that, too. did jake tapper ever mentioned that? no. did jake tapper mentioned that he was a spokesman for handgun control incorporated? no. >> sean: fake new cnn, did they ever disclose any of that's when he hosted cnn's gun-control town hall a few months ago? i wonder if jake is going to disclose all of this on his show tomorrow. i doubt it. none of this should be surprising. according to the center for public integrity, back during the campaign, 96% of presidential campaign donations from journalists, they want to hillary clinton. you heard me right.

96%. all of those people, what they now complain about their political contributions and their support for hillary clinton? what about as wikileaks exposed, top journalists from abc, bloomberg, cnn, msnbc, "the new york times," many of these outlets, remember they dined at a key clinton staffer's house right before hillary launched a campaign, each of their food, drink their wine? of all of those journalists did in fact attend, why didn't they tell you about it? or how about these relationships? to the media find these problematic? you have reports, a senior vice president at cnn married to a man who served as the under secretary of state for hillary clinton. claire shipman, reporter, abc, married to a former white house press secretary jay carney. former obama national security advisor susan rice, her husband used to work at abc news. does the media find any of this troubling? this is only a small sampling of stuff i can bring up. did they raise red flags about

any of this? then there is the epitome of the washington, d.c., sewer and swamp. the dozens of journalist that went to work for the obama administration. media research pointed out the total number reached as high as 30. it got so bad that back in 2013, even the liberal "washington post" was forced to cover it at ask this question. so what to make of all of the family ties between the news media and the obama administration? great question. the answer is nothing. no one in the media cared because their savior, the chosen one, barack obama was president. if a fox news channel contributor goes to work for the white house, god help us all. it was the highlight of the journalists career to suck up and defend obama's disastrous record. they never invited him and they never told him how bad his achievements or lack thereof were afraid the media does not care about truth, they don't care about facts, they don't care about ethics, they don't care about holding themselves accountable. they have voted as a clear,

obvious liberal agenda and they share a common goal with liberals in this country, the democratic party, they want to destroy the president. we have showed you the reaction on election night was like a funeral. their attacks against the president, it is getting more unhinged every day. for the media to pretend they have any sort of moral authority is just laughable. it's a joke and you, the american people, no eta. that is my poll after poll shows you don't believe it and you don't trust them and you see the vice for what it is. we are going to end with this key point. members of the media, they have put their blinders on and are purposefully ignoring a massive scandal, which would be the biggest story in their lifetimes. and if they care so much about conflicts of interest, like they claim, dare them to report on this corrupt mueller investigation and his team that is stacked full of democratic donors, and to mueller's friends with james comey and comey had a

friendly could potentially classified information to the media so that mueller could be appointed and mueller has assembled a team that has donated over 50 grand to obama, democrats, hillary, and the dnc. gave no money to donald trump. and mueller handpicks andrew weissmann, who has the most atrocious track record, including withholding exculpatory evidence, and convictions in the enron accounting scandal, overturned by the supreme court, 9-0. people went to jail. that was overturned by fifth circuit court of appeals. our mueller's own involvement when he was in boston. four people went to jail. two of them died in jail. they were all innocent. over $100 million judgment was paid out after the fact. now congressman mark meadows is also revealing tonight that newly uncovered documents suggest a "concerning level of coordination between the doj and the fbi during key moments of the clinton email investigation," which we have talked about a link that this

program. how about james comey and trump-hating fbi agent peter struck her in all these other people putting the fix in on the client and email investigation? the media, they don't even mention it. it is unbelievable how corrupt they are. if they cared about truth and journalism and about being fair and balanced and all of these things, they would be reporting these things to you every night, but in their sanctimony, they think they are holier-than-thou. all right. cry me a river. joining us now with reaction, former secret service agent and nra tv to your contributor dan bongino. overall, with all of the talk about russia, and all the talk about foreign outlets, foreign agents having an influence on our election, and it ends up that there was a foreign agent, outsider, christopher steele, that he had money funneled through a law firm, through

fusion gps, he uses russian sources and russian lies, and then it gets used for a fisa warrantor they don't have a fisa judge that hillary, one, paid for it, and two, they never verified at. just to spy on, not only an american citizen, but in our pleasures opposition party candidate in an election year, is sean hannity more important news the bad? i don't think so. >> you know, sean, these other media outlets, so comical, these frauds at the other media networks. you know why they will never reported? let me let you in on a nugget. one of the national security analysts at cnn, lisa monaco, she worked in the obama white house as a counterterrorism and homeland security advisor. you know where she also worked? on the enron task force with our buddy, who? andrew weissmann, the robert mr spitball on the special counsel.

you expect to see and -- keep in mind, there is no conflict over there, you expect them to report honestly about art? one more thing, cnn reported in april of 2017 about the british passing intelligence to u.s. intelligence entities about donald trump. a major scandal. we haven't heard much about that since the collusion narrative fell apart, have we? they are not interested in the facts, sean. they are frauds. they are only interested in attacking conservatives and covering up for the misdeeds almost massive obama gate scandal. >> sean: i played one of our best montages ever. cnn, how many times in a day they said [bleep] hole and i called them the [bleep] whole network. wait until you see the montage i will play in the next segment. it beats that. and the thing is, with all of these conflicts, they feel that they have a right to lecture everybody on morality when in truth, they have fed the american people a story with no evidence for over a year and

ignored the biggest abuse of power scandal. how did they juxtapose that in our corrupt minds? >> you know, i don't know. but cnn today, we have a story that the korean war may finally be coming to a formal ending. what is the big story? pee tapes, porn stars, this network should forfeit their news label altogether and take on a fiction label. they are all about anti-trump all the time. >> sean: dan bongino, got to thank you. great job as always. i think the best tape we have ever put out, ever on the show, let's just say, the fake news network cnn outdoors themselves. you may want to record this, next. ♪ ♪ ♪ i can do more to lower my a1c. because my body can still make its own insulin. and i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release it, like it's supposed to.

stuff that are relevant to their lives, just like they did for 38 years, and now i think they are more being turned off by a dead may be, just maybe, that is why they only have one show in the top 25 and cable among total viewers out of msnbc and fox. i think that it has a negative effect, even though it's creating the social buzz on social media because, i don't know, it is cheap and it becomes that cheesy news network as it a result. to be when i decided we will do a deep dive into all of them. all of their conflicts. i mean, a deep investigative dive. it is very clear -- this is the sad part for the american people in many ways -- as i said, i don't hide the fact, i am a big trump supporter. i support the president, want him to do well, i am a conservative. everybody knows who i am. they present themselves differently. they present themselves as fair and balanced and objective, win

♪ >> sean: this morning, clinton lackey, "abc news" anchor george stephanopoulos helped disgraced former fbi director james comey sell more copies of his self-righteous book and attacked president trump. >> i want to focus in on two of the president's tweets. the most serious. the president says, not only should you have been fired but you leaked classified information, lied to congress under oath, for both of those infractions, he says, you should go to jail. >> that is not normal. that is not okay. first of all, he is just making stuff up. most importantly, the president of the united states is calling for the imprisonment of a private citizen, as he's done for a whole lot of people who criticize him. that is not acceptable in this country. i hope people read the book and see why the rule of law is such an important value in this country. >> sean: really? getting lectures from comey on the rule of law? you should have applied it to hillary.

his remarks, ca deputy attorney general rod rosenstein in the letter obtained by fox news is now asking three separate committees, including the house until committee, for more time to turn off or unredacted copies of james comey's memos that detail is private conversation with the president. this after the doj missed yesterday's deadline to turn over the memos. here with reaction, house intelligence committee chairman congressman devin nunes. you know, my first point is this, congressman. i watched the interview, and i was stunned. it took my breath away. as james comey talked about the dossier, while it could have happened, the bulk of information to obtain that warrant to spy on american, an associate of the trump campaign, in an election year, was the dossier, and if it wasn't for you and your committee, we never would have learned that, or the grass they-grandma that came out. do you think -- what do you

think that means about what they said to a fisa court? >> the irony here is quite frankly hard to believe. some of the language that mr. comey uses, like he says, ,i think he said it is certainly possible that the russians had information on trump. well, it is certainly possible that the russians could have information on comey. it is certainly possible that the russians could have information on hillary clinton. it is certainly possible that they have information on all kinds of people. >> sean: when that dossier, which may dig up the bulk of the fisa application at supplicant free renewal applications, if it verified and wasn't corroborated, and you still presented it to a judge, and you never told the judge that hillary paid for it, bought and paid for it, and it was a foreign national that printed salacious, unproven lies from

russian sources, did they lie to a fisa court judge, in your opinion? >> by not telling the fisa court, it's totally inappropriate. they knew the information and they have a duty and obligation to tell the court everything they know. but sean, let's go back to when we were first briefed about the dossier. we, congress. so we heard, mr. comey's interview what he said, what president trump's reaction was to learning what the dossier. he talked about why he didn't tell president trump that it was paid for by his political opponents. well, there are other people that are important in this, like the united states congress. i was in the meeting with senator mcconnell, speaker of the house paul ryan, and many others. he had ample opportunity in early 2017 to tell us who paid for the dossier. we were briefed on the dossier. i can tell you, if they would

have brought up, if the fbi would have presented to us on the date of this information was paid for by the democratic partt it was used -- >> sean: it wasn't verified. >> it wasn't verified. we knew it wasn't verified at the time because they told us it wasn't verified. but can you imagine the reaction? first of all, i think i would have spent up with my coffee and started laughing. second of all, we would have walked out of there and said what in the hill are you guys doing? you are bringing a start that the hillary clinton campaign paid for? you guy's been using this? you are presenting it to us as to why you have concerns about the trump campaign? that is laughable. >> sean: how was that not illegal, though? i feel this is the biggest abuse of power that i have ever seen in my entire life and when you then go back to you, and you see that these same players keep coming up, and it was comey with trump heating peter strzok, we

still haven't gotten all the tek is the one on interviews hillary, and peter strzok and james comey are writing an exoneration and may and they don't interview here till july, it seems to me that investigation was rigged. >> or you have mr. comey volunteered this up on the internet the other day. he said that the fisa on carter page, carter page was in the initial reason i started the investigation. it was papadopoulos. okay. he wanted to investigate papadopoulos. you had concerns about papadopoulos. for your viewers, that was in july of 2016. why is it that you never bothered to talk to mr. papadopoulos, but you did bother to go and get a fisa warrant on mr. page in october of '16? you don't talk to mr. papadopoulos until 2017? wait a second. i thought papadopoulos was the reason you started the investigation in the first place. these are all unanswered

question that keeps own raveling we have to keep fighting bit by bit by bit. >> sean: we need the information. this all needs to go to court and people need to be held in contempt of congress and i agree with you on the second special counsel. all right, congressman, we appreciate your hard work. >> always a pleasure. >> sean: coming up, more on the legacy of former first lady barbara brochu passed away earlier this evening.
