that's a lot. >> tucker: do you really think if you did a segment like that every day for a week, you would weather 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. but 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. casey.se >> 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 camene 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 tee, 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.ou 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 in 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 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. they married 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, barbie." tonight, he is going to bed alone. back to you. >> sean: thank you, casey. she was an amazing woman and we'll talk more about the legacy, the life of barbara bush coming up later in thebo 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 onn that from mar-a-lago is fox news chief white house correspondent john roberts.at 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 nsc and peripherally 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 they reported tonight, mike pompeo, the cia director, went to pyongyang 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 groundworke for a possible meeting between kim jong un and president trump. president trump has been speaking, since easter, very positive terms, as far as a potential for a meeting with kim jong un, saying it could happen sometime in late may orfo maybe even early june. today at mar-a-lago, as he was meeting with the japanese prime minister shinzo abe,to president trump indicating that talks had been taking place at

the highest levels, lead us to believe for a short period t of time earlier today that it might have been the president himself who had telephone conversations with kim jongg un. now we learn from "the washington post" that itsi was his cia director.im listen to how the president was putting it tonight at mar-a-lago. >> who in the administration had talked with north korea directly, sir? >> have you been speaking directly with them? >> we've had a talk at highest level. let's leave it a little bitt short of 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, sean, when it was believed in might have been the 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 p 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 woulde absolutely be historic, sean, has been narrowed down to five possible locations. the president wouldn't say what those locations where but i'm told a couple of potentials might be hanoi, vietnam, because vietnam, up until recently, had pretty good relations with north korea. also singapore, i am told, was a possibility. it looks like those talks would not be held on the korean peninsula nor were they be held in beijing or moscow because anything that was said during those meetings would instantaneously go to the ears 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 very closely. also tonight, the liberal mainstream media is ignoring massive scandals and all kinds of positive news about the trumi

administration, instead, they want to attack yours truly. so tonight, we are going to call out the liberal media'swa tangl, 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 that 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 peeee tape, james comey claiming that he has never watched "hannity," and talking about me. we will cover all of that of so much more in tonight's breaking news monologue. ♪ if you bothered watching the fake news media in the past 24 hours, which i do not w 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 hysterical coverage about me. now the media in this countryll 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 is parrot 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 onon what is the biggest abuse of power scandal in american history, yeah, i'm not surprised i become a 24/7 target. 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 refuse 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 seeing what is happening. other conservatives are calling out this massive double standard, this hypocrisy, from the liberal media, and god knows these so-called journalists won't do 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, in a long line, in a many years effort to destroy the credibility of advocates for

conservative/republican or anti-democrat issues and personalities. the purpose of this is not to put hannity in legal jeopardy,y, 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 must 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. they define collusion. they define conflict of interest.ol they are architects of deceit.ef they are never forthcoming about who they really are.

and if you try to find out, if you try to do an investigative report on 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,t partisan worldview. they hate that we want the country under president trump to actually succeed and help the forgotten men and women that arn in poverty, out of the labor force, on food stamps, that we believe in the constitution, that we believe in equal justice under the law, equal applicatiob 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 ignoring, despite mountains of evidence for months, as they go with their unproven conspiracy theories. so i'm not surprised that the media's going afterhe 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, george stephanopolous, the so-called journalist that secured the first interview 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 anda was a communications director and then served in the clinton white house as a senior advisor? since the liberal media appears to be suffering from amnesia, s here's a clip from a

documentary, it is called "the war room." george stephanopoulos advocatinf for the clintons. 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 [bleep]. if you went on the radio and said that bill clinton is the father of an illegitimate black child, you'd be laughed at. 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, i'm not saying it matters. you will be embarrassed by the national press corps.o people will think -- nobody will believe you and people will think you are scum. >> sean: "you'll be embarrassed. never work in national politics again." sounds like a threat. did george stephanopoulos reveal any of that, before, during, after the sit down with comey,y, remind his audience? how about he donated 75 grand to the clinton foundation, which h? 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 and 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. i am an unapologetic conservative.at i am a trump supporter. i support reagan economic policies and peace through strength. for example, where is the r follow-up question when comey admitted he didn't tell donald trump that hillary clinton paid for the unverified dossier, which by the way was used to get a fisa warrant to spy on an american. watch this. >> did you tell him that the steele dossier had been financed by his political opponents? >> no. i didn't use the term steele dossier. i just talked about additional material. >> did he have a right to know that? >> that it had been financed by his political opponents?

i don't know the answer to that. 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 lied to a fisa court and federal judges on four separate occasions by notl 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 his former deputy director andrew mccabe said about the dossier, without it, there never would have beenh 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 there at fake news cnn, you have jake tapper, i will let the great one, mark levin, handle this part. >> jake tapper was a spokesman for a congresswoman, or was, from the 13th congressional district of pennsylvania. her son married chelsea clinton. i mentioned that, too. does jake tapper ever mention 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 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 fort. public integrity, back during the campaign, 96% of presidential campaign donations from journalists, they went to hillary clinton. you heard me right. 96%. all of those people, will they

now come clean 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 c these outlets, remember they dined at a key clinton staffer's house right before hillary launched her campaign, ate their food, drank their wine? if all of those journalists did in fact attend, why didn't they tell you about it? or how about these relationships? does 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 asa 30.. it got so bad that back in 2013, even the liberal "washington post" was forced to cover it and 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 careers to suck up and defend obama's disastrous record. they never vetted him and they never told you how bad his achievements or lack thereof were. 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 what is a clear, obvious liberal agenda and they

share a common goal with liberals in this country, the l democratic party, they want to destroy the president. we have showed you the reaction on election night was like a y 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, know it. that is why poll after poll shows you don't believe it and you don't trust them and you see the bias for what it is. we are going to end with thisor 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, i dare them to report on this corrupt muellerem investigation and his team that is stacked full of democratic donors, and mueller's buddy with james comey and comey had a friend leak 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, overturnedlp by the supreme court, 9-0. people went to jail.al that was overturned by fifth circuit court of appeals. or 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 at length on this program. how about james comey andil trump-hating fbi agent peterhi

strzok and all these other people putting the fix in on the clinton email investigation? the media, they don't even mention it. it is unbelievable how corrupt a 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 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 warrant and they don't tell theh fisa judge that hillary, one, paid for it, and two, they never verified it. just to spy on, not only an american citizen, but an opposition party candidate in as election year, is sean hannity more important news than that? i don't think so. >> you know, sean, these other media outlets, this is comical, these frauds at the other media networks. you know why they will never report it? 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? the mueller pit bull on the special counsel.

you expect to cnn -- keep in mind, there is no conflict over there, you expect them to report honestly about it? one more thing, cnn reported in april of 2017 about theon britih passing intelligence to u.s. intelligence entities aboutf donald trump. a major scandal. we haven't heard much about that since the collusionmp narrative fell apart, have we? they are not interested in the facts, sean. they are frauds. they are only interested inn. attacking conservatives and covering up for the misdeeds of this 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]-hole network.ll 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 t 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 do they juxtapose that in their 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.bo 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 outdoes 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.

years, and now i think they are more being turned off by it. maybe, just maybe, that is why they only have one show in the top 25 in 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 a result. i can't justify it, quite frankly. >> sean: 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, when if you watch any of this cable

months, has been they have overwhelmingly negative. they still are considered to be objective. one more point, by the way. during your montage, erin burnett, i used to go on her show a lot, she said, in that little clip i just saw, "we don't know if the president participated in that act with the tinkle tape." that should be the end of it. if we don't know, and it hasn't been verified, that should not make it to air to even be a part of a discussion, just becauseou jim comey speculated about it, it doesn't give you the right to start talking about a 48ig times in one day. i think that is a standard that should be done moving forward. it doesn't appear to be happening at this point. >> sean: thank you so much. we appreciate it. so james comey, out on his book tour talks about me, too. jesse and jessica coming up next. we'll check in with devin nunes of the house intel committee. some important new information he will reveal straight ahead. ♪ veal straight ahead. ♪ just one free hearing test at

american, not only is that, in my opinion, a violation of law and fbi protocol, what a colossal admission, that we will spy on americans, may be possible, with russian lies that were paid for. it may be possible to get a warrant to spy on an american. you should be outraged, spitting mad over that. >> i'm not really. >> sean: i can tell. >> sorry. the dossier was a part of a number of sources that were used to get the fisa application -- >> it was the bulk of it. >> the bulk of -- is that all of it or a majority? >> it is gross misconduct on the court. >> you are not a lawyer. there are a number of people who will go to that for christopher steele, they have used his intelligence throughout the years. >> it's not only that, jessica. he also lied under oath about leaking. he definitely leaks. >> unclassified material. >> he doesn't determine what is classified or not. also, it's his fbi memo. that is the fbi property. government property, theft of it, misdemeanor.

leaking classified, that is a felony's. not watching "hannity" in prison. >> i think you get tvs there anyway. i don't know what to say, there are no lawyers on this panel, including me, so -- >> we play lawyers on tv. >> you guys do. i just play me.cl >> sean: i hate to say it, jessica, that was a big win tonight. it is jesse's world still. coming up, deputy attorney general rod rosenstein is asking for more time to hand over comey's memos. the house until committee chairman devin nunes joins us. later, former first lady barbara bush died at the age of 92 and we will talk about her legacy. wr

♪ ♪ >> sean: this morning, clinton lackey, "abc news" anchor george stephanopoulos helped disgraced former fbi director james comey sell more copies of hisnt 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, they. president of the united states is calling for the imprisonment of a private citizen, as he's done for a whole lot of peoplees 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.

comey's remarks come as the 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 over unredacted copies of james comey's memos that detailp his private conversation with the president. this after the doj missedd 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 iun 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 thew grassley-graham memo that came out. do you think -- what do youu think that means about what thei 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 possibleus 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.fo >> sean: when that dossier, which made up the bulk of the fisa application and subsequent. three renewal applications, if it's possible, and it wasn't 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 in mr. comey'sir 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.hy 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 day that this information was paid for by the democratic party -- forget the fact that 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 spit up with my coffee and started laughing. second of all, we would have walked out of there and said what in the hell are you guys doing? you are bringing us dirt that the hillary clinton campaign paid for? you guys have 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 youav then go back to, and you see that these same players keepk coming up, and it was comey with trump-hating peter strzok, we still haven't gotten all the text messages, and peter strzok

is the one that interviews hillary, and peter strzok ands, james comey are writing an exoneration in may and they s don't interview here till july, it seems to me that investigation was rigged. >> or you have mr. comey volunteered this up in the internet the other day. he said that the fisa on carter page, carter page wasn't the initial reason they started the investigation. it was papadopoulos. okay. you wanted to investigate papadopoulos. you had concerns about papadopoulos. for your viewers, that was in july of 2016.pa 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 questions that keeps

unraveling but 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.be all right, congressman, we appreciate your hard work. >> always a pleasure. >> sean: coming up, more on c the legacy of former first lady barbara bush who passed away earlier this evening. rbara brocy earlier this as a control enthusiast, i'm all-business when i travel... even when i travel... for leisure. so i go national, where i can choose any available upgrade in the aisle - without starting any conversations- -or paying any upcharges. what can i say? control suits me. go national. go like a pro.
