on this show, 8:00 p.m. eastern. good night from washington. have a great night! ♪ >> sean: hi, welcome to the special edition of "hannity." tonight for the full hour we'll show you the best of the opening monologue. we start with the robert mueller russia collusion witch hunt. watch this. it's now been officially 328 days since the special counsel robert mueller was appointed to investigate so-called russian interference in the elections. tonight we are still asking the question. where is any evidence of collusion? show us. nothing so far. not a whiff. nothing. no evidence. instead of concrete facts, information, surrounding russia's illicit actions we now have a run-away investigation. it's spinning out of control. it's led by mueller and his

merry band of trump-hating deep state sycophants. that is a just a fact. we have gone from the prosecution of paul manafort over years old payments from ukraine, not russia, to now an investigation into alleged affairs between trump and porn star named stormy daniels. you can't make this up. we are learning today from reports that the f.b.i. agents in the cohen raid are looking for information about payments made to a play-boy playmate. does anybody believe a porn star and former playboy playmate will shed light on potential collusion with russia? the answer is of course not. robert mueller is now officially gone rogue and declared war against the president. big news tonight, according to reports, stormy daniels, cnn will be proud. they are now cooperating with robert mueller and the probe. the rogue activity from mueller is nothing new. remember in march, former trump political adviser sam

nunberg said mueller was seeking information regarding michael cohen's payments, yep, you got it, to stormy daniels. so much for russian interference. >> did mueller folks ask anything that related to the issue around payments to people or women? >> they asked if i ever heard anything about that. my answer is i never have. i don't know anything about it and i would haven't known anything. >> sean: sadly, tonight what is happening is mueller's runaway train of an investigation is something we have been warning you about for a year. i have told you there are five forces actively working against donald trump. they have from the beginning. it's your corrupt media, the corrupt democratic party that doesn't care about the american people, weak establishment republicans. never trumpers. they want to be proven right and what we deep as the deep state. tonight you have two of the five forces working together malign the president you elected. we did digging today. what did we find? there are a lot of reports you are hearing about, about the

inner working of the mueller investigation and they includes a lot of anonymous sources. some of the reports are totally based on anonymous sourcing. who are all the anonymous people feeding all this information to their friends in the liberalmedia? could mueller's team coordinate with the outlotes to turn public opinion against president trump? that helps their case. maybe mueller's office and their e-mails, maybe they will get raided in predawn hours and maybe we will see that happen. the corrupt media and mueller knowing there is no collusion, no evidence of collusion. if they had it, we would know it by now. they are hoping that president trump actually fires mueller. without a doubt, like sarah sanders said today the president does actually the legal right to fire mueller. but we know if the president does, imagine the political outcry and what it would be like. i would be massive. in fact, this is likely exactly what many in these five forces i talk about want. because they believe it would

spark, oh, the humiliating end of the trump presidency that we the people voted for. after all, you know, that has been the goal from the get-go. we have always known that. in their minds this would set president trump up to be impeached and the sad truth tonight while mueller is on a witch hunt, fishing expedition, it's abundantly clear if trump fires mueller, sadly nothing will go away. the truth is it will only get worse. i will only get louder. we will only become more divided. nothing will get done in the country. it doesn't matter it appears how rogue robert mueller is. it doesn't matter what he did with whitey bolger and boston and four innocent people that went to jail. two died in jail because an f.b.i. informant in his office working with mueller and his team. then after two died there was over $100 million paid out in that case. it doesn't seem to matter to anybody in the liberal media that mueller's pitbull described by the "new york times" andrew weisman that he was involved in tens of

thousands of people losing their jobs, their careers at arthur andersen accounting. it doesn't matter at all. it doesn't matter the supreme court overturinned weisman mueller's pitbull 9-0. how often does that happen? it doesn't matter that four executives went to jail for a year because of weisman and the fifth circuit court of appeals overturned their convictions. it doesn't seem to matter the courts have excoriated mueller's pitbull weissman for withholding exculpatory evidence. and that they exclusively donated money to obama, hillary and the d.n.c. why would robert mueller hire a guy like andrew weissman with that atrocious track record? why was he appointed? the anxious is it was a fishing expedition and an effort to get trump from the beginning. a federal judge courageously standing up to this totally

out-of-control witch hunt in what is the biggest or the single biggest beat-down i have ever seen in my life by a judge. during a federal court hearing over former trump campaign chair paul manafort's years' old conspiracy charges. this goes back 13 years. a u.s. district judge, named t.s. ellis iii utterly rebukes the entire special counsel investigation and telling a member of mueller's team, "you don't really care about mr. manafort. you really care about information mr. manafort can give you to lead you to mr. trump and an impeachment or whatever." and according to a fox news producer that was in the courtroom the judge went on to say --" "you want manafort to sing. and he slammed the scope of the robert mueller investigation saying, "we don't want anyone with unfettered power." the judge mocked the special counsel saying, "we said this is what the investigation was

about but we are not bound by it. and we were lying." a federal judge confirmed everything we have been saying on the show for months. there is nothing mueller will not do. to malign this president, everyone around him. it's always been about trump. not any of the other people. now during a speech the president was giving at the n.r.a. he reacted to judge ellis' stunning reprimand and beat-down of mueller. take a look. >> president trump: none of that information has to do with information related to the russian government toward nation and the campaign of donald trump. it doesn't have anything to do. it's from years before. then, how does this have anything to do with the campaign, the judge asks? let me tell you, folks. we are all fighting battles. but i love fighting these battles. [applause] >> sean: a battle over the rule of law.

equal justice under the law. equal application under the law. it's a battle over the constitution. according to the producer inside the courtroom, judge ellis also raised important questions over why rod rosenstein has not recused himself from this russia investigation. now this comes after the deputy attorney general shot down a request for members of the freedom caucus to review the unredacted memo that now details why the f.b.i.'s investigation into collusion started in the first place. by the way, hand them over. it's important to note. this mem row, which outlines the scope of the russia investigation, it was written in may. three months before mueller was appointed. this is just one more example of obstruction of justice from the justice department. which is actively preventing members of congress from conducting important investigations. their role, coequal branches of government, over the russia probe. fisa abuse and so much more. it's called "checks and

balances," co-equal branches. rosenstein and the f.b.i., the justice department are not impervious to the rule of law. it's time for rosenstein and others to resign and for this witch hunt to end. in the opening monologues we also covered james comey's highly publicized book tour and i extended an invitation to james comey to come on the show. we are still waiting. take a look. we predicted for months the disgraced former f.b.i. director james comey, ah, he is prepared to cash in on the newfound fame. i did predict that. in a few weeks comey will kick off his whirlwind book tour. he has tough interviews with colber, obama sycophant and ladies with "the view." comey is planning to come out hot and correct the so-called lies about him and the f.b.i. for months we have literally

been bringing you the american people on a nightly basis, breaking news, hard-hitting investigative reports about the construction at some of the highest level of the government including the shocking details about the abuse of power at the very top of the f.b.i. james comey you want to come out hot? you want to answer hard, important question? you are welcome on this program. tonight i'm officially opening up an invitation to james comey. you want to tell your book? come on this show. we will give you a full hour. you name a day, we will make it work. we will work with your schedule. i'll give you three hours on my nationally syndicate radio show, which by the way is on 575 radio stations around america. so everybody can hear from you. we'll ask you the tough questions. the ones that colbert might miss. for example, did you, in fact, tell a closed session of congress you believe michael flynn did not lie to the f.b.i.? did you think he is being

unfairly prosecuted? why did you draft a letter exonerating hillary clinton of charges in the e-mail investigation months before she was interviewed by the f.b.i. and 17 other important people? will you explain the lies and the omissions to the fisa court? why did you tell trump that the dossier was unverified and salacious three months after you allowed the same dossier to be presented to the fisa court when you didn't tell the fisa court hillary clinton bought and paid for it and you knew that? why did you withhold the fact that clinton paid for the dirty dossier? how do you explain the unlawful leaking of classified information to the media after you were fired? through the columbia professor, you wanted the special counsel. jim comey, if you are looking for fame and fortune, you want to sell books, by all means have fun on "the view." have a great time yucking it up with colber. hang out with stephanopoulos.

but if you want to reach all americans and defend your honor and you really want to tell the truth, we have questions for you. come on the show. a full hour. three hours of radio. that is the best deal you are going to get. we'll lay out all the facts. lay out all the evidence and give you a chance to respond. as we say here at fox, we report. we will let the audience decide if you are telling the truth. i said many times journalism in this country is dead. it's buried and it has been since what? 2007. so instead of reporting facts the so-called news outlets just literally push their own political narrative all while hiding behind this, you know, feigned moral outrage and moral facade and calling themselves "journalists." while the media, the mainstream media gets mad i'm an opinion journalist host. we have broken more news on this program than they have broken in a year and a half. they just echo the same talking points every night. and they are totally happy to forget about all of the former f.b.i. director comey's

misdeeds, including leaking potentially classified privilege notes to the press to set up a special counsel. his potential weaponization of the fisa court system. the treatment he gave hillary clinton we know committed felonies in the e-mail investigation. he wrote a letter exonerating clinton in may before he interviewed her in july and 17 other key witnesses. when comey lied about this subject in front of congress while under oath, he lied about it. we have him in his own words and we have the videotape. as warner wolf says, let's go to the videotape. >> director, did you make the decision not to recommend criminal charges related to this before or after hillary clinton was interviewed? >> after. if colleagues believe i was lying when i made the decision, urges 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 the interview. she maybe lied in an interview in a way we could prove it. >> sean: but just in case we wrote exoneration months earlier. and the interview by peter strozk. that is right. the trump-hating guy. despite all of this, the main stream media, their friends in the democratic party are treating comey like the anti-trump golden goose. i guess they forgot how much they actually hated him during the investigation of hillary clinton. here is comey's best friends today, watch this. >> the extent to which the f.b.i. director of the united states is allowing himself to be interjected in to this political campaign. unprecedented. >> james comey is getting horrible advice. he is interfering in this election. i don't understand what the guy is doing. >> he has a big burden of proof so to speak on him for why he did what seems to be an appalling act that goes against the tradition of prosecutors at every level of government.

it was -- when i heard about it, i found it hard to believe that comey who i thought had some degree of integrity would do this. >> it is con conceivable this was a coincidence but coming on top of the director comey's, you know, very unusual and controversial release last week it just makes the f.b.i. look like a wing of the republican party. >> i think he made a mistake on this. he clearly has a double standard. >> whether or not it's affected the president, it's clear his disclosure and the spate of the warring f.b.i. leaks that followed raised serious question about the f.b.i. integrity and the impartiality. >> the integrity of comey and f.b.i. are in question. >> we are all disturbed by the leter that broke precedent over the advice of the leaders in the justice department. i'm not challenging

mr.comecome's motivation but i think it was unwarranted and it was a mistake. >> i am so disappointed in comey. he let the country down for partisan purposes. that is why calling new j. edgar hoover. i believe that. >> do you believe comey should resign? >> of course. yes. >> sean: he hated him. now the media back in love with comey and the montage you saw is another piece of evidence proving facts don't matter to the people on the left. only ideology. and coming up on this special edition of "hannity" the long list of accomplishment the anti-trump media will never tell you about. please stay with us. feel the clarity of non-drowsy claritin and relief from symptoms caused by over 200 allergens. like those from buddy. because stuffed animals are clearly no substitute for real ones. feel the clarity. and live claritin clear. i'm all-business when i, travel... even when i travel...

live from america's news headquarters i'm alicia acuna.

massive clean-up and search operation continues in ellicott city, maryland, the historic town near baltimore. it was the scene of a devastating flood that turned walkways to raging waterways. on main street, muddy waters carried cars away and poured into homes and businesses. emergency crews made dozens of rescues. right now one man remains missing. this comes as the town was rebuilding from a previous flood two years ago. former president george h.w. bush is spending his memorial day in a maine hospital where he is being treated for low blood pressure and fatigue. the 94-year-old bush will likely remain there for a few days. but he is described as awake, alert and not in any discomfort. i'm alicia acuna. back to sean hannity. for all your headlines, log on to foxnews.com. >> sean: welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." it's no secret that the liberal press viciously attacked president trump while

completely ignoring his very long list of accomplishments. i have highlighted many of the president's major successes in my opening monologues. let's take a look. president trump is on a complete tear by continuing to keep his promises and enact the agenda that you, the american people, voted for in november 2016. the d.h.s. secretary kirstjen nielsen made a major announcement earlier today about president trump's plan to secure the southern border. here is what she said. >> the president has directed the national guard personnel be deployed to the southern border. the department of defense as you know long supported the effort of d.h.s. to protect the nation's borders and this includes ongoing counternarcotic missions, infrastructure construction, persistent operation training and aerial support throughout the western hemisphere. the department of defense is a long-time partner of the department of homeland security and i thank tem for their support -- thank them for their support.

while plans are being finalized it's our expectation the national guard will deploy personnel in support of the border security mission. >> sean: tonight we learned that president trump signed the proclamation to send the national guard to the southern border. now the president he deserves a lot of credit because if congress, if they are not going to lift a finger to solve a problem he will take steps as the commander-in-chief and do it on his own, which he now has. now before the liberal media all you leftists out there start losing your collective minds over the national guard being deployed at the southern border, with all due respect, we will educate you. there is already precedence for all of this. both george w. bush and barack obama actually did the exact same thing. and president trump's tough rhetoric calling for mexico to disband this caravan as you see of the asylum-seekers heading for the u.s. border is also working. now according to reports, more than a thousand-person caravan has fallen apart. leaders of the group are now saying they will no longer

head for america's southern border. this is the start of good news for the president. look at this. a brand new rasmussen poll, his approval rating is now 51%. which is higher than barack obama's in the exact same time in his presidency. he was only at 46%. and he got re-elected. the liberal media probably won't be telling you that tonight. they are too busy orchestrating onslaught of any negative story they can possibly find, obsessing over stormy daniels and the trump russia collusion -- russia, russia, russia -- that doesn't exist. there is a fake news cnn poll that shows trump making major gains with four key groups. he has gained eight points with men since february. five points with younger voters. nine points with middle age voters. and up by ten points with college graduates. here is what is so interesting about the polls. just imagine if the president wasn't constantly under attack from a media that wants to destroy him.

imagine if robert mueller and his team of democratic donors weren't carrying out their never-ending witch hunt. don't you think the president poll numbers would be a lot higher if the majority of the country wasn't being fed an endless stream of outright lies, prop dan -- propaganda and misinformation? while that goes on president trump is doing the job you elected him to do. good news to bring you about the president. i guarantee you nobody else in the media will talk about it. earlier today the president in the speech in the rose garden was highlighting something the media will never talk about. it's not russia and it's not stormy. his accomplishments that are improving the lives of the american people, the forgotten men and women who voted in november of 2016. >> president trump: we have created 3 million new jobs since the election. unemployment claims are at the lowest level in nearly 50

years. think of that. something i'm proud about. unemployment rates for hispanics and african-americans have reached the lowest levels ever recorded. ever recorded. think of that. for women, the lowest levels in 19 years. so we have really good numbers. and something a lot of people didn't think was going to happen, wages are rising at the fastest pace in over a decade. we are cutting record numbers of regulations. we have cut more regulations in a year and a quarter than any administration whether it's four years, eight years or in one case 16 years. we are also unleashing american energy and american energy independence. we are now an exporter of energy. we are doing ten -- think of this. 10 million barrels a day.

nobody thought they'd see this. we are cracking down on unfair trade deals. we are taking strong action to secure our border. stop illegal immigration and restore the rule of law. and we have passed the biggest tax cut and reform in american history. >> sean: make no mistake. in over a year the amount of accomplishments from this administration, this is historic. i've never seen the media talk about this. finally tonight we will end on good news you will never hear from anybody in the media. despite what i describe as the five forces that have been working to defeat the president, one to prevent him from getting elected, then to delegitimize him and get him thrown out of office, you have the media, the never trumpers, weak establishment republicans and democrats and, of course, the deep state. you know the trump agenda, keep seeing massive, major progress both right here and abroad. this include big process on the economy. look at this. 14 states. 14.

have now hit record low unemployment numbers including 'bama, arkansas, texas, hawaii and even california, wisconsin. the u.s. is also seeing record low unemployment for african-americans and hispanic americans. >> sean: a great day for this country and the fellow countrymen. why? early this morning a plane carrying three of the fellow americans who have been held hostage in north korea for months, they touched down in joint base andrews. our prayers were answered. these three men came back in good health. we should all be proud of the outstanding work this country did to bring our fellow americans home. president trump met the three on the tarmac and delivered these hopeful remarks at 3:00 a.m. in the morning last night. >> president trump: we want to thank kim jong un who was excellent to the three

incredible people. they are really three incredible people. the fact we were able to get them out so soon was a tribute to a lot of thing. >> this was an important diplomatic victory. we know the dangers the three americans face because we saw what happened to otto warmbier. remember, the american college student held captive in north korea which caused his horrific death. and the warmbier family remain in our prayers tonight. tonight we have a reason to feel hopeful and proud. three american lives were likely saved and we didn't have to bribe kim jong un or send pallets of cash to north korea to get the job done. the president continued to pile up one massive win after another. ahead of the all-important midterm elections in 2018 this year. trump has an undeniable, amazing record of promises kept and accomplishments. by the way, every republican can now run on the things he has done and this can no longer be ignored. today in israel, the president

kept a major campaign promise. trump, kushner and steve mnuchin and the other officials unveiled the new embassy in the true capital. it's called jerusalem. the president emphasized the significance of the historic moment in the video message to the audience. take a look. >> today jerusalem is the seat of israel's government. the home of the israeli legislature and the israeli supreme court and israel's prime minister and president. israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital. yet for many years we failed to acknowledge the obvious. the plain reality that israel's capital is jerusalem. at my direction the united states finally and officially recognized jerusalem as the true capital of israel.

today we follow through on the recognition and open the embassy in the historic and the sacred land of jerusalem. we are opening it many, many years ahead of schedule. >> sean: the israeli prime minister a man who i said for many years has incredible moral clarity, netanyahu. he also attended this monumental event and president trump talked about him keeping his word and his promises. take a look. >> last december, president trump became the first world leader to recognize jerusalem as the capital. and today the united states of america is opening the embassy right here in jerusalem. thank you, thank you, president trump, for having the courage to keep your promises. [applause] thank you, president trump, and thank you all for making the alliance between america and israel stronger than ever. >> sean: there is a reason

the prime minister and the israelis are so thankful for president trump's bold actions. you see for decades we have had one u.s. president after another promising over and over and over and over and over again that they were going to open an embassy in jerusalem. but they never delivered. they repeatedly broke their promises. what we continue to see over and over again is that what the president says he is going to do, he actually does. by the way, it's good politics, too. keep your word. up next on the special edition of "hannity" democrats refuse to denounce one of the most hateful antisemitic people in america. why? well, i'll tell you in a greatest hits opening monologue when we get back. maui jim sunglasses were born on the beaches of hawaii, designed to respond to the bright sun and harsh glare of the islands, all while enhancing the view. after thirty years, we're still independently owned and the freethinking hawaiian spirit that first inspired us, is still a part of everything we do. our polarizedplus2 lenses not only protect eyes from harmful rays,

as one of the most hateful, antisemitic people in america? we examine that and so much more in an opening monologue. we've been following a story the "daily caller" broke this week about seven democratic lawmakers have ties to louis farrakhan. now this list includes representatives maxine waters, keith ellison, the deputy cochair of the d.n.c., kochwoman barbara lee, danny davis, on dray carson, gregory meeks and al green. these alarming connections to farrakhan are causing the republican jewish coalition rightly to call on the lawmakers to resign. the members of congress aren't the only liberals that have relationships with farrakhan. we'll have more on that in a second. tamika mallory the cochair of the women's march attended a recent farrakhan event. it was called "savior's day" in chicago where he said these despicable things. >> the powerful jews are my enemies. white folks are going down.

and satan is going down. and farrakhan, by god's grace, has pulled the cover off of that satanic jew. >> sean: he has only a history of this kind of racism and antisemitism. tamika mallory posted about the event and according to the antidefamation league he gave her a shoutout in the speech. after intense backlash, she is out with a statement where she apologizes to the various groups of people that farrakhan routinely and viciously and hatefully attacks but then she defended her attendance and writes in part, "i didn't expect my presence at savior's day to lead anyone to question my beliefs, especially considering that i have been going to this event regularly for over 30 years." she continues, "where my people are is where i must also be. i go into difficult spaces.

i attended meetings with police and legislators and the very folks. so much of my protest has been directed toward." this is an utterly ridiculous argument. you can't attend farrakhan events for over 30 years like mallory just admitted and then all of a sudden pretend to be surprised and learn he spews vile, hateful, antisemitic rhetoric. this is what the left does every time. they hang the people out, the radical left wingers, they hang out with them and flat out deny their relationships or just pretend. like it just isn't a big deal. for example, let's look at how some of the seven democratic members of congress are reacting to being exposed to having the ties to farrakhan. congress keith ellison told the "washington post" none of my colleagues ever ask me about that. only reporters. i'm telling you, no one cares. pretty disgraceful. this is the same keith ellison that accuses republicans of being racist and for years has

been trying to dodge and downplay allegations of antisemitism. of course, he is not alone. in february, congressman danny davis told "the daily caller" he is not bothered by farrakhan's position on "the jewish question." and congressman davis previously told the "daily caller" he thinks farrakhan is "an outstanding human being." he is now changing his tune and denouncing farrakhan. we reached out to all seven members of congress for comment but they all ignored us except for congressman meeks where he directed to us a tweet where he denounces farrakhan's statement and then goes on to attack trump. "daily caller" is reporting the waters, lee, carson, green have all attended meetings with farrakhan while serving as members of congress. by the way, take a look at this. this is a stunning video that shows waters and lee all

hugging and shaking hands with the racist anti-semite farrakhan. according to the "daily caller" this happened in 2006 in an event in new orleans. now for years these members of congress have been able to maintain relationships with farrakhan because most members of the media give them a pass. there is no accountability. no punishment for hanging out with hate-filled extremists. in fact, it's a defining characterric of the left, including former president barack obama. we told you how obama sat in the pews of the church of g.d. america for 20 years and how he launched his political career inside the living room of unrepentant terrorist bill ayers. given that information, the 2005 photo of barack obama grinning ear to ear with louis farrakhan shouldn't be a surprise. the reason you never saw this before the election in 2008 is because the photographer who took the picture says he was

pressured by the congressional black caucus to keep it a secret. and the photographer also says that he thinks that this photo would have made a difference in the 2008 election. i believe he is right. this photo would have further exposed everything we were uncovering on the show about barack obama. and his radical rigid leftist beliefs and friends. we did reach out for obama for comment about farrakhan's comments. not surprisingly we didn't hear back from the spokesman. here is the most important question about this. if farrakhan isn't that bad of a i i guy like several democrats are claiming then why is it necessary to hide a photo of him with obama? maybe because democrats didn't want you to be reminded of farrakhan and history of hate. this is just a small sampling. take a look. >> here the jews don't like farrakhan so they call me "hitler." well, that is a good name.

hitler was a very great man. there were many israelis and zionist jews in key roles in the 9/11 attacks. because you see white people deserve to die. and they know so they think it's us coming to do it. there is no human being on earth that has murdered more living things than the caucasian. he is a murderer. and a liar. then soon we are going to sit at a table and talk about retire. we want some of this earth. we are tearing this country up. >> sean: coming up, the left cannot seem to understand why the "roseanne" reboot is

success. and kanye west and my monologue on that as the special edition of "hannity" continues. time. need something printed? the business advisors at office depot can assist with exactly what your business needs to grow. get your coupon for 20% off services, technology and more at office depot and officedepot.com. technology and more stimulant laxatives for my constipation, my doctor recommended i switch to miralax. forcefully stimulate the nerves in your colon... miralax is different. it works with the water in your body, unblocking your system naturally. save up to $7 on miralax. see sunday's paper.

live from america's news headquarters i'm alicia acuna. josh holt and his family just arriving home in utah after spending nearly two years in a venezuelan prison. the 26-year-old former l.d.s. missionary and his wife tammy were freed saturday after months of negotiations between the u.s. and venezuelan governments. after their release, the holts were flown to washington, d.c. for a meeting with president trump and the oval office. now the couple and their children will make their way to riverton, utah, for a homecoming celebration. move tag division today at arlington national cemetery. the final resting place for

thousands of american war heroes. the president laying a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. similar ceremonies were observed across the nation as we pause to remember the men and women who died fighting for our freedom. i'm alicia acuna. now back to sean hannity. jackie thinks every girl should grow up and be president. even if they are a liar, liar, pantsuit on fire! >> i think we know who is the liar and who is on fire, roseanne. >> sean: welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." the left can't seem to understand why the roseanne barr reboot has been successful. i broke it down in this monologue. take a look. >> the "roseanne" reboot taking the country by storm and it's been a massive rating success in the first two weeks it's been on-air. by the way, it's rattling the left. take a look.

>> i should have tried to understand why you voted the crazy way that you did. >> and i should have understood that, you know, you want the government to give everybody free healthcare because you're a good-hearted person who can't do simple math. >> well, parent differently than they did in your day. a lot of what you did, did not work and some of it was against the law. >> yeah. it's against the law because your generation made everything so p.c. instead of spanking them you tell them to go over there and think about what they did wrong. you know what they are thinking? i can't believe this loser isn't spanking me. >> sean: the "roseanne" reboot continues to score huge in ratings, which of course is rattling the left. since roseanne barr is outspoken supporter of president trump. she responded to her critics last night. this is priceless. in an interview with jimmy fallon. watch this. >> also with the hit comes

people that are not happy as well. if you say you are a supporter of trump. >> yeah, people are mad about that. i don't give a [bleep] well, everybody has to choose for themselves, according to their own conscience who they thought was the lesser of two evils. you know everybody chose that. i'm not going to put anybody down who didn't vote like me. this is america. it's a free country. when you weigh it all together, you know, i think i just felt like we needed a whole new thing. all the way. bottom to top. >> sean: kanye west also took a lot of heat from liberals for his support of the president and for saying that he likes conservative owens and how she thinks. we addressed that as well. it is a new political landscape in america. famed rapper, fashion designer kanye west now issued a very glowing endorsement of president trump. he took to twitter telling his millions of twitter followers,

"you don't have to agree with trump, but the mob can't make me not love him. we are both dragon energy. he's my brother. i love everyone. i don't agree with everything anyone does. that is what makes us individuals and we have the right to independent thought." kanye west posted a picture of himself wearing a "make america great again" hat driving liberals on social media totally insane tonight. and get this. kanye is even slamming former president obama for his utter failure in the former president's own hometown of chicago writing, "obama was in office for eight years and nothing in chicago changed." kanye west is absolutely right. we talked about this a lot. under the obama administration, nearly 4,000 people were murdered on the streets of chicago. his hometown. obama barely mentioned it. did nothing. this was american lives. american treasure lost. tragedy, travesty. this all started after kanye west publicly stood up for a

black conservative, a woman we had on the program this week candace owens after many on the left slammed her remarks at ucla. take a look at this. >> what is happening right now in the black community, you will hear in this room first. there is an ideological civil war happening. black people are focused on their past and shouting about slavery and people who are focused on their future. victim mentality is not cool. i don't know why people like to be oppressed. weirderrest thing -- weirdest thing. i love oppression. and jim crow. none of you guys lived through. it's embarrassing that you utilize their history. you come in here with more emotion than they had when they lived through it. more emotion than they had when they lived through it. it's embarrassing. you are not living through anything right now. you are overly privileged americans. >> sean: amazing moments. a star is born. while kanye west takes a stand for freedom of thought and freedom of express, we should all support this. the left continues to also

viciously go after kanye west for his support of president trump. earlier in an absolutely wild interview with tmz on our friend harvey levend, he defended his praise for trump and took shot at the liberal group, some of the liberal groups out there in the media. here is some of it. >> it's the mob. the mob tries to tell you what to think. the mob tries to make all blacks be democrats for food stamps and stuff. i've never been into politics. i just love trump. that's my boy. it's like the media and the liberals and the echo chamber and all that is having the most sore loss of all time. like we are going to just keep putting out. it's like torture porn. we are going to keep showing you negative, negative, negative, negative, negative. >> sean: and later in the interview our friend candace owens joined kanye. take a look. >> in many ways i feel the black community is going

backwards, that we are literally going away from what martin luther king dreamed. he dreamed of a day where we would haven't these things and say because i'm black, therefore i must think this -- because i'm black, therefore i have to subscribe to all of this -- i defected from the mentality. i said you know what i'm not a victim, i'm a victor. this became the most controversial thing on the internet. donald trump has not put forth a single policy that harmed the black community. he put forth many that has helped them. >> sean: when we come back, more of the special edition of "hannity" right after this break. your brain changes as you get older. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember.

why people everywhere are upgrading their water filter to zerowater. start with water that has a lot of dissolved solids. pour it through brita's two-stage filter. dissolved solids remain? what if we filter it over and over? (sighing) oh dear. thank goodness zerowater's five-stage filter gets to all zeroes the first time. so, maybe it's time to upgrade. get more out of your water. get zerowater.

speak to welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." that's all the time we have left this evening. before we go, today is memorial day. we want to take a moment to thank and honor all of those brave men and women that gave their lives serving and protecting this country so we can have better lives. without them making the ultimate sacrifice we would not enjoy the freedoms that sometimes we all take for granted.

and as always thank you for being with us. hope you will join us. we will always be fair and balanced. we are not the destroy-trump media. set your dvr, have a great nigh night. ♪ >> laura: thanks for joining us this memorial day. i'm laura ingraham. welcome to the special edition of "the ingraham angle." tonight we are going to look at our best of our defending the first segments were we expose the enemies of the first amendment, free expression and free thought. we will show you an outrageous example of a california high school teacher suspended for merely questioning whether students could protest abortion just as they had protested gun control. ben shapiro tells us how the left tries to shut him down on campus with everything from threats and safety to calling him a terrorist. and then michelle malkin exposes the dark forces in the big bank rollnd
