did you know that the popular name for new york, gotham city, gotham comes from goat town? i am grabbing my goat andnd getting my hat, and sean hannity is standing by with an entirely -- we guarantee it, a goat free show.ua he is next. take it away, sean. >> sean: i am not sure about that last story, but we can get back to that later. >> mark: i am coming into your studio with a goat. you will love the little fella. >> sean: can't wait to meet him. welcome to "hannity." we have massive breaking news stories. wait until you hear my opening monologue in just a minute. but first, president trump is saying tonight that he will in fact meet with north korean dictator in the coming weeks, kim jong-un, to actually discuss the denuclearization of that rogue nation. ed henry in washington tonight with what could be historic details. >> getting back to all of the. critics who charged him with the rhetoric bringing to the brinkha of nuclear war, yet now, even some top democrats are

suggesting that these talks are starting to bear fruit. the president declared separate talks today with the japanese t prime minister, that if the meeting with the kim jong-un, which may happen as early as may, goes nowhere, if it goesshe nowhere, he is willing to walk out. he is also pushing the dictator to release three american hostages there. also confirming that he secretly dispatched the cia director mike pompeo to pyongyang. t he said that this may set the stage for a breakthrough.a >> i will be meeting with kim jong-un in the coming weeks to discuss the denuclearization of the korean peninsula.is hopefully, that meeting will be a great success, and we are looking forward to it. it will be a tremendous thing for north korea and the world. >> even democrat adam schiff who has been negative about almost anything the president has done

side said is on a positive track. he is encouraged by the possibilities for peace, even though it is very high-stakes. some trump aides told bloomberg they are so bullish that if the president and north korean dictator can come toth an agreement, they could share the no pelt nobel peace prize. that would be something. >> sean: that would be amazing. great job appeared mike pompeo,u and ed, thank you. we will have more coming up on this throughout the eveningso tonight. also, president trump is shooting down liberal rumors that he is going to fire robert ereller. and there is a critical fight here. today, 11 house g.o.p. lawmakers, they have now sent a criminal referral to the doj and the fbi, demanding investigations into possible crimes committed by comey, hillary clinton, loretta lynch, peter strzok, and others. we will have all of that tonight.

also the house oversight committee chairman trey gowdy wants answers of new evidence of possible doj-fbi collusion and thehe corrupt clinton email cas. that isat huge news. also, they're very pompous, arrogant, fame seekinges james comey, he can't get enough of himself. his media blitz is in full swing and it's not going well for him. we'll explain in tonight's open breaking news open monitoring . all right, we start tonight with president trump shooting down a while the liberal mediaob speculation as always. but he is going to fire robert mueller and rod rosenstein. during the press conference, this is what he had to say. >> we are hopefully coming to the end. it is a bad thing for our country.om very, very bad thing for our country. but there has been no collusionn they won't find any collision, it doesn't exist. as far as the two gentlemen who

told me about, they have been saying they will get rid of them for the last three months, four months, five months, and theyan are still here. so we want to get the investigation over with, done with, put it behind us. >> sean: may be that will finally put liberal rumors to rest. also, we have a direct message and all of you in the destroy trump media. we know you are watching. while you have been pushing your crackpot conspiracy theories clock 24 sevenths over a year without any proof, on this show, we have been uncovering truth, facts, and actual evidence and what is now the biggest abuse of power scandal in american history. thew, media has been lying to yu and misleading you, the american people, but their time is up. if you remember back in january when i came back from vacation, i said 2018 would be the year of the boomerang and that all of these scandals were going to swing back and blow off right in the democrats in the media's face that is exactly what is

happening because they are stunning developments tonight. congressman ron desantis and ten members of congress have sent a criminal referral letter to the attorney general jeff sessions, the fbi director christopher wray, and the u.s. attorney john huber, and these members are now calling for criminal investigations into the potentially illegal actions of james comey, hillary clinton, loretta lynch, andrew mccabe, peter strzok, lisa page, and other officials that have ties to the unverified steele dossier. we've been talking about this. let's start with james comey, as quick sidebar before we lay out the case against him. we've been warning this self serving holier-than-thou fbi director that he hasas the right to remain silent but jim comey just can't seem to keep his mouth shut and it's been amazing to me that comey doesn't have an army of lawyers that have been telling him to keep quiet and not release this book because he is now tonight facing serious legal exposure.

here is what we mean. in this brand-new letter, these 11 members of congress, they highlight how comey sent mike spent 14 minutes laying out thej case for criminal prosecution against hillary clinton, and then at the very end, he said, never mind, and didn't recommend the criminal charges. we've talked about equal justice under the law. we can't have a dual justice system. we have since found out that comey and peter strzok and their cohorts put the fix and to save hillary clinton and her campaign by reaching a decision not to prosecute before interviewing hillary clintonte and 17 other y witnesses. they were writing that months before they interviewed her. reaction to this inexcusable absurdity, the letter today rights for this criminal referral, comey's decision to not seek charges against clinton's misconduct is a just and proper investigative conduct,t, potentially motivated by a political agenda, and because of that, these 11 congressmen are now referring

the following criminal charges to the department of justice. 18 usc 1505, obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees. 18 u.s. code 1515, definitions for certain provisions, general provision, which appears to be referring to making misleading statements. and there's the issue of comey's members. this letter explains that in order for members of congress to view them, they had to go to a secure facility because four of the seven members were more classified and at the secret or confidential levels.re well, we also have the issue of comey at what he did with those numbers. here's what comey said under oath back in june. take a look. >> i asked -- the president tweeted on friday after iee got fired that i better hope there's not tapes. i woke up in the middle of thehe night and monday night because it didn't dawn on me originally, that there might be cooperation for our conversation, might be a tape. my judgment was, i needed to get

that out of the public square. i asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo with a reporter then do it myself or at a variety of reasons, i asked him because i thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel. >> sean: what james comey just admitted to his leaking classified government information. ross and crimes that apply. look at this. 18 usc 641. public money, property, or records, this deals with removing those government memos from the fbi. the nurse 18 u.s. code is 793, we talked about this a lot. gathering transmitting, or losing defense information. 18 usc 1924. unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material. all of this spells massive legal trouble tonight for james comey. but it's just the beginning of comey's potential criminal misconduct. now comey will affect goods and

exoneration statement before the investigation and for interviewing hillary at 17 other key witnesses. that is not what he testified to under oath. take a look. >> director, did you make the decision not to recommend criminal charges relating to classified information before or after hillary clinton was interviewed on july 2nd? >> after. colleagues of ours believe i am lying about when i made this decision, please urge them to contact me privately so we can have a conversation about this. all i can do is tell you again, the decision was made after that because i didn't know what was going to happen in that interview. she would maybe lie in an interview in no way we could prove. >> sean: but he brought the exoneration but interviewed her in july. on top of comey line, these members of congress point out there is appears to be "material inconsistencies between comey's congressional briefings on the h dossier author christopher steele and doj documents that were provided to congress

afterwards. here are the criminal charges that would apply in that case. 18t usc code 6021, perjury, generally. 18 usc 1,001. instead of sitting down for the liberal media, you know, the dream team of liberals, george stephanopoulos, stephen colbert, the ladies of "the view," you should be loitering up. that's criminal or feral letter today is also recommended reading criminal charges against hillary clinton, an investigation. we know she broke the law by using that unsecured, private email server and a mom and pop shop bathroom closet ventilating 33,000 subpoenaed emails, acid washing them, beating up her devices with a hard drive. these lawmakers today are now demanding an investigation into clinton for hiding payments to fusion gps from the federal elections commission. remember, the clinton campaign and the dnc that hillary controls, they funneled over ten, $12 million through a law

firm, and then they paid fusion gps which then fired a foreign national. remember, foreign nationals aren't supposed influence our election. that is christopher steele. christopher steele then puts together a dossier full of russian lies and propaganda that was never verified. third and the congressional criminal referral letter is loretta lynch. these members of congress, they want thehe department of justico now to investigate allegations that loretta lynch threatened the uranium on fbi informant with reprisal. he was on this show. this is the informant that went undercover four years and exposed putin's money laundering, bribing, kickback, extortion, racketeering scheme that was used to get a football and america's uranium market. former deputy fbi director andrew mccabe, he's also mentioned in this criminal referral letter. the recent doj ig report found that mccabe lied under oath,

involving at least three criminal statutes. in a letter today, these lawmakers want to mccabe investigated. on top of that, the trump-hating fbi lovebirds, peter strzok at lisa page. they are also being referred for possible criminal charges tonight.an the letter lays out how text messages that show that peter strzok removed a reference, remember the clinton exoneration statement, explaining how she was emailing with president barack obama. they took it out,th they wiped t out, which means that obama knew about the server all along. they changed it to a governmenti official. sure, that's what we'll call president obama, a government official. these lawmakers are also calling for members of the deep state to be investigated, lying to federal judges. we have been talking about this and one of the biggest revelations in the stephanopoulos-comeyon intervie. in other words, the unverified

unverified -- in order to get a warrant to spy on an american, trump campaign associate in the lead up to an election. that's lying to the judge. they never toldd the judge they paid for it either. all major developments, all these bad actors that we have not been exposing for over a year, and feeling that onion, day by day coming out today, criminal referrals have been made to the department of justice. finally. the big question tonight is what will the attorney, jeff sessions, attorney general jeff sessions do tonight? will he defend the rule of law, the constitution, equal application under the law, equal justice? that big l story by the way is only one of our breaking news story tonight. the house oversight committee chairman treymi gowdy, he is asking the doj and fbi and inspector general to look into issueses that are raised by congressman mark meadows of north carolina about a possiblea doj-fbi collision over

james comey's june, 2016 statement in the larger clinton email investigation. congressman meadows is rightly saying that he has uncovered new emails and text messages that approve this coordination. unbelievable. we need to get to the bottom of all this. finally, the self-righteous james comey who never should have wrote this book, he should have listen to me, his lawyers never should have allowed him to go on this media blitz to work, which,bl apparently knows no bounds, so he sat down with late night drop peter stephen colbert. he had so many hard questions, it was hard. i almost felt bad for him. take a look. >> i know that when you were fired, you say in the book that when it was over, he flew back on a plane to the east coast, drinking pinot noir out of a paper cup. so i thought maybe we could recreate that happy moment for you rightbe now. >> if it felt like you were working for a mob boss, were you

surprised that you got racked? that is what they do. are there things you know about the russian investigation happening before you were fired for that we haven't learned yet asas a public? >> yes. >> can you tell me what those are? >> [laughs] no. >> he tweeted at me probably 50 times. i've been gone for a year, , i m like to break up we can't get over. >> sean: those of the types of questions that comey has received so far from so-called journalists in the news media. not stephen colbert obviously. finally today, well, somebody in the media, meghan mccain, decided to actually challenge the former fbi director. good for her. watchh this. >> it feels like he might have scores to settle, a little bit of anger left over, a little bit of bitterness. would you concede to that? >> i wouldn't. i think it is raw in the sense

that i find it really painful to relive, reading that book, doing the audiobook, left me physically drained. i really don't feel a sense of anger. >> the most widely cited parts have to do with your descriptions and words about president trump. i mean, including calling his skin orange and seeing it look like he had tanning goggles. some people have said that was kind of, for lack of a better word, a little catty. did you enjoy taking those shots of the president? >> no. i didn't think of them as shots. >> really? >> you don't think you diminished yourself? >> i hope not. >> a lot of the things you are doing is highly political. i don't understand what you are doing trying to clear the deck by bringing things like this up. >> that's a good question. i don't think of it as my politics, i think of it as my value is. >> you talk about your wife being at the women's march, very sad on election night, why bring up politics now? no disrespect.

what your take on my current republican party is, i'm more interested about national security. your interview this morning, i don't understand -- you sound like a political commentator to me. >> io don't mean to be. >> sean: great job, savanna, great job, meghan mccain. it's about time members of the media took the kid gloves off and asked some real tough questions,h like we've been saying. mr. comey, you want to sit down for a real interview?? i'll give you three hours on my radio show, 575 stations and a full hour on the fox news channel. finally, james comey, his bff andrew mccabe, they appear to be headed for a really ugly breakup. this comes after comey confirmed today that he kicked off the investigation that led to mccabe being fired. he's firing back at comey and saying that he disclosed to his former boss that he was leaking to the media. now the question is, since mccabe could face criminal charges, is he going to flip? will he cooperate against comey? joining us within reaction, twof

the lawmakers that signed the criminal referral letter today, congressman ron desantis, florida. matt gaetz. thank you both for being with us. congressman desantis, to me, this has been a long time building, this has been a long time coming. so often we hear the attorney general say this, if i get a referral, i'll look into it, they now have not only the referral come up with specific laws that you believe and i believe were violated in each case. >> that's right, sean. he has this guy, john huber, i want to make sure that people like john huber knoweo that this is information that congress has developed, it's been in the public square, and the focus on the stuff. you have situations where comey is out on this book tour acting like -- he testified in front of the congress that he didn't exonerate hillary until after the interview when we know evidence has come out that he exonerated her two months before with the memo.

you look at somebody like andrew mccabe. he rushed into prosecute michael flynn. they went in, interviewed flynn, and prosecuted him for fall statements. mccabe lied to the fbi, as documented, mock mock multiple times. a different set of rules for mccabe? all about equal application of the law. >> sean: when meghan mccain actually asked comey today about, oh, "i told some of my lies in the book" you can still lie and be a good person, wait a minute, does that apply to general michael flynn, who was charged with lying to the fbi? congressman gaetz? >> sean, if lies were music, jim, you would be beethoven. when you lie to congress, it's a crime. when you allow your personal politics to dictate the outcome of an investigation before even conducting the investigation in earnest, that could be obstruction of justice.

so in congress, we don't want to sitt around and help that jeff sessionsat and others would seriously look into these matters. we wanted to specifically detail the violations of law and then demand action from our attorney general because we cannot allow this to stand. the director of the fbi, james comey, fired the deputy director, andrew mccabe. peter strzok, fired and reassigned. >> sean: this is a big problem. i know it's a been over a year, waiting for the inspector general to finish his report on the client to email investigation. but here's what we do now. he doesn't have prosecutorial powers. i understand that the attorney general for this other person and please, and supposedly they can work in conjunction with each other. is that going to get the job done? here are the facts as we know them. clinton violated 18 usc 793. mishandling classified information, top-secret special access programming information. she deleted 33,000 emails.

she asked said watched her hard drive, paid her devices, is that obstruction of justice? is that not a violation of law? yes or no? >> that is why it is so s frustrating.. comey says that because trump supposedly said to comey, i hope you can find it to let flynn go, that is a potential obstruction of justice, but when he was fbi director, he didn't pursue any obstruction of justice for bleach printing emails s under subpoena, those were the critical emails in the hillary clinton investigation and yet james comey didn't pursue that. how could you be so zealous with everyone associating with and then bentgn over backwards time and time again to not go after obstruction or hillary? >> sean: great job today. this is a big day, finally, now, it's moving. thank you. we will have more on this criminal referral involving all

of these actors, including comey and hillary and loretta lynch and peter strzok and lisa page and others. done of you won't see these folks at the post office

in the liberal media. joe has done legal work for me in the past. one of the best lawyers out there.e. also. with us, fox news contributor sara carter. she has done no legal work for me ever. fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. i am not done any legal work wih him either.it but i've had dinner with gregg and sara. i think i paid. all right. >> you did. >> sean: all the caveats are out of their way. joe, this is serious.s michael flynn's life has been on hold for a year now. you have a comey daring to admit that he lied. good people lie all the time? really? we can say that general flynn is a good person? i think a guy that served his country 35 years is a good person. >> well, the bottom line is quite simple. there is a double standard of justice in the united states. there was one standard of justice for hillary clinton and

that was propounded by the obama justice department, headed by james comey, and then there was another standard of justice for the trump campaign and flynn and everybody else and the bottom line was this. the president is being framedd and no matter what mr. comey says, the lying that he started has not ended and it continues to this day. he is destroying himself and the institution of the fbi and believe me, everybody in that fbi building right now is embarrassed from head to toe. >> sean: everyone i know when the fbi. i keep saying, america knows it's not you, they know it's not the rank and file, very important. gregg jarrett, i want to go back to this criminal referral. this is serious business, especially when congress goes to the attorney general. they have to step up. here's my question to you. we went over every one of those laws that they cited here. you are the masterr of this.

you have a book coming out, specifically about this. as it relates to this criminal a referral, how bad are all of these? >> most of the identified criminal statutes and the referral today go against james comey and they continue to mount. now you have two different letters today identifying different potential crimes he committed. and it's amazing to me that he continues to yammer away in his glorious look at me book tour because he is potentially incriminating himself. just look at the first interview. he admitted that politics intruded into his decision-making in the clinton case. that potentially is obstruction of justice. he can't be much of a lawyer if he keeps yapping away. >> sean:ou i want to ask all three of you, because the thing that stone to me the most, i got

into this a lot last night, absolutely took my breath away, comey is admitting, sara, that it could be true, the dossier. slow down. the grassley-graham memo, it was the bulk of information to get a warrant to spy on an american who happened to be an associate of the trump campaign in the lead up to an election. they presented that to a judge to get a warrant and they don't know if it's true, they never verified it, and they never told the judge that hillary bought and paid for russian lines from a foreign national. that is an outrageous admission. >> is an outrageous admission, sean, because it comey himself told congress, this was a salacious and unverified dossier. this was a dossier basically that was information gathered from russian intelligence by a foreign british acts spy. >> sean: foreign agent. think of the fact that he continues to propagate those

lies, and that former cia director, john brennan, does the same, and james clapper, it is like they are creating their own disinformation campaign. they are still concerned about the russians, and the russians disinformation, they are the ones that are propagating russian disinformation because if they have evidence, they should let it out now but the thing is, they don't have any evidence -- >> sean: they never did. joe, let me ask you the same question. joe, this is what you do. would you ever present unverified, uncorroborated foreign national russian lies paid for by a political opponent, information to a fisa judge just by un-american? >> no. i actually have reviewed fisa warrants and i'm at work when i was a u.s. attorney and long before that. here's the problem for the democrats and for john brennan and james comey and loretta lynch and everybody else.

they provided false information to a fisa court as part of a conspiracy to frame the incoming president of the united states. and there is simply no way around that any longer. >> sean: are they caught? >> this is over. mr. john huber is going to have to drag t a bunch of people befe the grand jury and when all is said and done, it will be shown that from president obama on down, there was knowledge of the unmasking of american citizens for the purpose of leaking it to the media to embarrass those people, get a political advantage, and to take down the incoming president of the t united states. there is now no doubt that john brennan and james clapper and comey and mccabe and others worked to undermine the incoming

president in a criminal conspiracy. mr. john huber, if he does his job, will be able to prove that quite easily. >> sean: gregg, you agree with that? >> i absolutely agree with that. i worry, we have the department of justicef investigating the department of justice. that is a recipe for corruption. >> sean: i want to give a shout out to all of you. sara carter, march 8th of last year, you and john solomon broke the story about the fisa warrants. it has taken a year to get what we are today. tip of the hat to your investigative reporting. you could write the entire time. gregg, you can write the entire time. joe, same with you. thank you all. all the media has been telling you about is a conspiracy theory with no evidence and stormy daniels. now when we come back, speaking of the corporate media, cnn, they have a serious credibility crisis and we have got the tape tod show you. we'll get reaction. michelle malkin, larry elder join us next straight ahead. ♪

♪ >> we've never been in a position like this with that regime, whether it's father, grandfather, or son. and i hope to have a very successful meeting. if we don't think it's going to be successful, we won't have it. we won't have it. if i think that it's a meeting

that is not going to be fruitful, we are not going tooi go. if the meeting, when i'm there, is not fruitful, i will respectfully leave the meeting. i will continue what we are doing or whatever it is that we'll continue but something will happen. >> sean: that was the president earlier tonighthe talking about talks with kim jong un about the denuclearization of the whole korean peninsula. here with reaction, retired cia senior intelligence officer daniel hoffman. it is pretty amazing that china backed down onow intellectual property, on trade tariffs. everybody said, it isre going to be a trade war. the same thing happened in this particular case, rocket man is now afraid to deal with donald trump. even vladimir putin, moscow was later raveling if the president hit syria. nothingit happens. peace through strength works. you don't have to bring in a cargo planes with $150 billion in cash and beg people to like

you. >> one of the great stories about this is, if anyone in congress was sitting on the fence wondering whether they should confirm director cia mike pompeo is the next secretary of state, they should look at this evidence of diplomatic initiative. as you said, peace through strength. t i fondly remember ronald reagan's evil empire speech which is not inconsistent with soviet leaders to conduct arms-control talks. i think it is what we are doing here was north korea. mike pompeo, that presidents can ciliary on intelligence, deeply respected in the region among our allies. it was an excellent decision to send him to meet with kim jong un and determine the seriousness of the north koreans in terms of their interest in coming to negotiating table. >> sean: mike pompeo is one of the smartest people i've ever known and a really -- he's a great american and a great servant. i wish them luck. i mean, imagine this. we have that opportunity, the

president has bought out an olive branch to putin, why are you hanging out with this dictator, president assad, and also, look at the alliance with the saudis, the egyptians, their jordanians, israelis, themi emirates. there is a huge shift going on where perhaps a historic world peace can take place. >> i will reflect my own background here but every one of those relationships has a significant intelligence angle to them. in order to manage those relationships and the challenges wee face, i think it really hes toea have somebody like mike pompeo, with his experience, leading the people in this effort. that shows a great deal of judgment on the part of the president. >> sean: amazing that they set this up just like the coalition. nobody knew that britain and france were going to join us in syria. they did it behind the scenes. any advice you give the president, last 15 seconds? >> no. i just think the president is on the right approach. we will determine whether

north koreans are serious. if they're not, we will continue to hit them with sanctions and more. >> sean: all right, sir, thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. a lot of hope tonight. it would be so great for the world. when we come back, we will tell you which hollywood actor is increasing his unhinged attack on the president. that is straight ahead. i get up, i go to the office, i kill it. i go home, and i repeat. my career is moving forward, but my student loans are going nowhere. it'll take me 20 years to pay them off, but i finally found a way to pay them off sooner, and save money by refinancing with sofi. sofi has helped over 200,000 people get ahead of their debt, and they can help you move forward too. see how much you can save in just two minutes at sofi.com/sooner

♪ >> sean: robert de niro, give credit where due, he's considered a pretty good actor in hollywood. . >> sean: robert de niro has had some memorable roles in hollywood. in the last few years he starred in movies like "dirty grandpa" or santa, in comedian things. he continues to be unhinged trashing the president every chance he gets. >> headlines, "snl," robert

mueller, how did this cameo come to be? >> well, i was talking to lorne and said if there is anything you want to -- i think you can think about you can play, and i spoke to my wife and said let's play mueller. and i said how about mueller? and that's how it came down. >> is this going to be a recurring thing or a one and done? >> i hope there's a couple where i interrogate him and then i arrest him and escort him to jail. >> you mean, trump? >> who do you think i mean? >> sean: the rant didn't stop there. at the opening of the tribeca film festival he slammed trump as a low life in chief. de niro needs to focus on acting. maybe not. maybe -- whatever. we have a big show tomorrow

night. mark le vin, allan dershowitz will be with us. laura ingraham, how are you? >> laura: if you put your screen shot next to de niro, you guys have the same hair. >> sean: "dirty grandpa"? >> laura: you kind of look alike. >> sean: you want to hear my brando? >> laura: i would say shut up and act but that might get me in trouble. >> sean: it's always the corleone family what about the clinton crime
