you could figure out how it works. we can't. if you can come and text us with instructions. good night from washington. the great sean hannity come alive from new york city, right now. >> sean: i can't figure it out. great show as always, tucker. welcome to "hannity." coming up, i have a mini monologue responding directly to roseanne barr's comments on twitter and the abc decision to cancel the show. first, a lot of breaking news tonight. the attorney general jeff sessions tonight in the hot seat and rightfully so.at in aht few minutes, we'll put sessions' absurd decision that has impacted this country to recuse himself from the russia investigation under our microscope. we'll explain my former senator, they never should have accepted the job as the top cop in the first place, knowing the next day he would recuse himself. we have a lot of analysis to bring you surrounding what the president is calling, rightfully, spygate. that's right, spies and the trump campaign, just like realize to real judges and real fisa courts. this is the biggest political

scandal in american history.t today, the house oversight committee chairman trey gowdy, apparently doesn't get it. he actually is defending the fbi's use of spies and its overall investigation at the russia collusion. we'll tell trey gowdy why he's wrong. will remind everyone watching just why this by gate case, the fisa views abuse, the lying deception, from comey, mueller, the merry band of democratic donors, has recognized the system of justice against your duly elected president. with mueller's runaway investigation on day 378, not a single shred of evidence, president trump and even some top w democrats worry that americans are getting sick of the seemingly endless fishing expedition. finally, we'll bring you all the breaking news about secretary of state mike pompeo's incredible meeting with the top north korean official in new york city.or it's time for our very important, fast-paced, breaking news opening monologue.

♪ in early march of last year, the attorney general jeff sessions was new on the job. he had just been appointed by president trump, and just confirmed by his former peers in the u.s. senate. he vowed to uphold the law of the land as america's top cop. without skipping a beat, sessions ando stoned president trump, the entire political world, and decided to recuse himself from the single biggest most important case facing, not only the administration, but the entire country. the ongoing, so-called russia collusion investigation. we have the country's top lawyer immediately recusing himself from the single most pressing legal case without any prior warning to president trump or those who confirmed him to the u.s. senate. you probably remember this. >> i asked for the candid and honest opinion about what ipi should do about investigations, certain investigations, and my

staff recommended recusal. they said that since i had involvement with the campaign, i should not be involved in any campaign investigation. i have studied the rules and considered their comments and evaluations. i believe those recommendations are right and just.t. therefore, i have accused myself in the matters that deal with the trump campaign. >> sean: yeah, career people. what former senator and did aty general sessions this point is so harmful, the ramifications of so massive, his decision that day, the day after he's confirmed, is it playing out today. and it's hurting the country. according to fox news legal analyst, our friend, gregg jarrett, the attorney general used a completely c illegitimate justification for his recusal. sessions, remember, he cited that he was required to recuse

himself under u.s. code of federal regulations 28 cfr 45.2 because of an ongoing criminal investigation. however, at thest time of sessions' recusal, there was no russia collusion criminal investigation. it was a counterintelligence inquiry. in fact, the criminal investigation only started after sessions' recusal upon the appointment of the special counsel robert mueller. here we are today. now robert mueller is even reportedly investigating now, he's desperate, he's panicking, he knows this is blowing up, a meeting that took place between trump and sessions, that took place shortly after the president was blindsided by his own attorney general's decision to recuse himself on day one. does anyone really expect a sitting u.s. president not to question his brand-new attorney general's decision to sit on the sidelines, recuse himself, the day after he is literally confirmed, and a case when he's taking the job the

next day? the president can order and attorney general, as gregg jarrett told us last night, to indictment, to make an indictment, not make an indictment, to investigate or not investigate something. so there is frankly nothing unusual or illegal about this meeting. we'll have full analysis. we'll have more on a mueller issue in a moment.ue tonight, we have so many other important lingering questions for the attorney general jeff sessions. why didn't he tell anybody the likelihood that he was going to recuse himself? before he was confused her before he was appointed? how, in good faith, can and attorney general act without participating in the single most pressing goal case facing this country, facing this administration, and now, we canf mueller's witch hunt investigation, and what it is, a flawed witch hunt, why he should come as we have talked aboutnd months and months ago, on recuse himself, immediately, this

time, he would be following the correct law, without a doubt, when the attorney general sessions, who i have alwaysd personally liked and respected, but what he has done here has now left this administration and country more exposed to the deep state that has been working against theth president you elected since the very beginning. last week, we learned that at least one informant, likely more, working in coordination with the obama justice department actively infiltrating the trump campaign, spying on a multitude of people associated within candidate trump's collection efforts. here is what two of the men who were spied on how to say on this program right here last night. take a look. >> i think what this meeting was about was they used me to get an introduction to george. he wanted to go to georgedu papadopoulos. he used carter page to get to me and that he used me to get to george.

i really think that was the whole chain of events there. i believe i got at least two and perhaps more approaches by individuals who were trying to offer information to the campaign that would have jammed us up and some way, shape, or form. it's very clear that sam and carter were both approached by a spy. >> sean: lying to fisa judges, repeatedly, not telling the fisa judges, not, cooperating, not verifying, not telling fisa court judges, getting warrants, spying on trump campaign associates, all of this happened, and you know something, and how we got despise that we are discovering that were in the trump campaign, and is much as the media says, oh, it's not actually spying, it's an informant, you just heard from the three men that were approached by the so-calle informant who is really a spy, to tell them and seek out information, because of this witch hunt that began, as we now know, in the spring of 2016.

i've listened to chairman gowdy today, frankly, i agree with him on a lot of issues. he tried to play down what the president is rightly calling spygate. let's make this very simple. here are the basic thesaurus definition of the term "spy" for all of o you people in congress, even those of you that claim to be lawyers. a secret or undercover agent. that is a spy. make no mistake, because the trump campaign was spied on friday secret agent working with obama justice department monitoring conversation and activities of many trump campaign associates. you just heard directly from the individuals who were spied on and actively targeted by this pipe. chairman gowdy praising the fbi's overall handling of the russia probe. no, chairman gowdy. look at mccabe. look at comey. look at strzok. look at page. look at loretta lynch. look at all the others that abused their power! we got to get this right. the fbi literally, under a fired

fbi director, which the president had every right to do, rod rosenstein off himself recommended, the bought and paid for dirty dossier full of russian lights put together by foreign agent, and illegally convinced fisa judges, because the are supposed to verify and corroborate, to authorize a wiretap against the trump campaign associate in the lead up to a campaign, all while the obama administration is unmasking the names of american citizens caught up another surveillance at what is a 350% increase from any prior year and while the fbi was using spies to monitor at least four people associated with the trump campaign. chairman gowdy, are you keeping up? after james comey was fired for handling the clinton investigation, comey illegallynt leaked documents, he wanted to appoint a special prosecutor because his bff, robert mueller, who then appointed, let's see,

the most corrupt, dishonest merry band of anti-trump democratic donors, there was people, who are now doing everything in their power, and have been, to take this president down. how do you ever trust any special counsel that would hire andrew "the pitbull" weissmann. overturned supreme court, 9-0, 4 innocent merrill executives in jail for a year, that was overturned by the fifth circuit. you want him investigating you? any congressman out there? give me a call. now there are so many brave public servants that are doing important work in the fbi. in the cia. in the intelligence community. some very high-ranking. but we have now discovered an abuse ofis power, bad apples, tt have a political agenda that are hell-bent on destroying this president, delegitimizing him, and literally groaning the vote of the american people. by the way, and their eyes, this

is the man that was never supposed to be president and they are counting on it. there are fears that mueller's ongoing witch hunt will influence the midterm elections. i believe this is a legitimate concern. former new york city mayor, current d trump attorney, rudy giuliani, whoru is with us tonight, will join us live in a little bit, weighing in on this very issue early today. to give. >> the president -- >> if he doesn't, if he doesn't file his support by september september 1st. >> will he fireep him? >> i don't think he's going to fire mueller. >> we'll be a investigation go past the midterm elections? >> it may be a mistake. maybe the american people have iscluded that impeachment not proper. they will do everything they say that they won't impeach him. >> sean:>> tonight, it's not just president trump, not just republicans worried about this political impact of mueller's partisan fishing expedition. they couldn't find one jumped on

her, not one? in fact, top senate democrat, now political fears kicking in, mark warner,in telling a crowd e fears americans will start to grow tired of the investigation if it is not wrapped up this year.ea oh, yeah, they are tired of it already.ke take a look. >> the notion for those who, maybe partisans of the crowd, say, that when the democrats to control, they'll be able to really ramp things up, i think the american public will be tired of it if this is not wound down in this calendar year. >> sean: what did george ellis say? you go to paul manafort, put the screws to manafort, make them sing, they can use to prosecute or impeach a duly elected president. that judge ellis was accurate. the majority of you, the american people, you are rightly now already skeptical of mueller's efforts believing that the special counsel'slon

investigation is what it is, politically motivated. now while this off the rails russia so-called collision investigation rolls on, way past, way beyond any mandate they ever had, well, the president of the united states, well, he actually has a real work to get done, including the negotiations with north korea. already, the president has secure the release of several hostages, once held captive in north korea.s kim jong un, no longer firing missiles over japan and threatening guam and the entire korean peninsula were threatening the united states, the nuclear tests have halted, he crossed the dmz, hours ago, a top north korean official landed right here in new york city for a meeting was secretary of state mike pompeo. the two man just finished a working dinner. according to pompeo, the meeting went great. the historic meeting between trump and kim jong un is now in the works and it may happen on time. we'll bring you the latest news in a developing story that happens. ed henry will check in with usry later tonight with a full report. we also have rudy giuliani in just a minute. first, here with reaction to my

opening monologue, former u.s. attorney for the district of columbia, joe digenova and the author of the soon to be released, five weeks away, "the russian hoax," gregg jarrett. let me begin with you, joe digenova. let's talk about the president and jeff sessions. in ab way, as somebody that always personally liked, respected senator sessions, i cannot, at this point, defend any longer his inaction and some ways, and that decision to recuse himself the day after he is confirmed. look at what it has an outer edge of the country. your reaction? >> it was an unforced betrayal of the president of the united states who had appointed him. here's the problem. the case that was being turned over to bob mueller at that time was a counterintelligence investigation. it was not a criminal

investigation. therefore,e, jeff sessions did t have to recuse himself. he could have supervised that investigation, stayed in touch with her to been aware of it, and even if criminal matters came up, he would not necessarily w have had to recuse himself. in fact, we now know that it remains basically a counterintelligence investigation and the onlyy thig that mueller wants to do is interview the president of the united states for no good reason, in order to get evidence so he can refer to the house of representatives. there is never going to be an interview by thehe president should never agree to an interview. >> sean: he can't. > it is very, very sad that jeff sessions created this problem by really getting out of something that he never should've gotten out of at that point. >> sean: gregg, you were the first to tell us here that he cited the wrong statute. when he recused himself. i mean, look at -- the president has not had his own attorney general. >> it makes you wonder whether

jeff sessions has a reading comprehension problem. he either misread the very clear regulationob, or he was misled y career officials. it says two circumstances you recuse yourself, and a criminal investigation or criminal prosecution. this was neither one. it is no wonder that the was angry. i would have been apoplectic and fired the guy on the spot. >> sean: months ago on the spot, you said he should unrecuse himself. >> he absolutely should. but for jeff sessions' egregious mistaken betrayal of the president, the likes of which i've never seen, there would have been no special counsel that america wouldn't have been forced to undertake this russian hoax. there was never any evidence of collusion. there was no intelligence to support a counterintelligence probe. >> sean: let me go to you, joe. we have talked at lengthh

, i can't wait for the day, if it ever happens, that we hear from four fisa judges that were lied to, presented false information that was never verified, never corroborated, which the law mandates, and which fbi protocol calls for, and they never told these judges, they can asterisk all they want, may have political change that hillary paid for it. >> i think was going to come out now -- >> sean: and now the spies. to speak of this investigation started at least in may, perhaps april of 2016. so the investigation that mueller inherited is now more than two years old. it was started by a group of intelligence and law enforcement officials led by john brennan and james comey, who created false intelligence and fed it back into americans who werein lured overseas by stephan hopper, who was an agent provocateur, used by john brennan and the fbi to ensnare

americans who were completely innocent. >> sean:y what about this phony narrative -- and frankly, shame on trey gowdy. >> please, don't even bring up trey gowdy tonight. that idiotic comment that he made last night and this morning about everythingg was done by te book, this is ludicrous. this was a false narrative created by the fbi and the cia to plant intelligence overseas withto americans who are than feeding it back to the united states in emails and phone calls and the fbi took that information and used it to get a false narrative in front of the fisa courts to get warrants. this is disgraceful. you know what, when trey gowdy was brief to the other, they did not see one single document. how can you possibly say the things that he has said in the last 24 hours without seeing any documents?an this is ludicrous! >> sean: let me ask you, and everybody in the media, "he's just an informant," you might

carter page in the green room last night. sam clovis. michael cavuto. they are spies. you found the definition first. >> if you look at the definition, putk it on the screen, it defines exactly what the fbi was using this man for. to infiltrate the campaign, to induce, and in my judgment, and trap people into same things that were incriminating. they never did because there was nothing incriminating to say. there was no collusion. that's exactly why nobody has ever been charged with this fictitious crime of collusion. >> sean: there is no such thing. sad. good to see you. we are waiting for your book. joe, always good to see you. when i come back, the president's attorney rudy giuliani. later on, in many monologue examining abc's cancellation of the show "roseanne." we'll do something nobody else in the media will do. we'll talk about liberal hypocrisy. that's straight ahead. ♪

♪ >> if the fbi was so concerned, and if they weren't targeting trump, they should have told trump. if they are really concerned about the russians infiltrating a campaign, then why not try to stop it? why not tell trump? well, the answer is perfectly clear. to me, they were running this whole t story. they were pushing this scam. >> sean: great insight. rush limbaugh earlier today pointing out rightly so that if the fbi was so worried about russia, russia trying to infiltrate the trump campaign, they should have warned him. here with reaction, former new york city mayor, president trump's attorney, rudy giuliani. two things. carter page on this show last

night, mr. mayor, this was the spring of 2016. he's never met donald trump. and comey notes, the single biggest on our part to part of it was, trump saying to comey, hey, i did not collude with russia but if anyone around me did come i wanted to get with dominic to the truth. reaction? >> the fact is, this investigation never should have gotten to this place in the first place. if we consider the spygate, all appropriate descriptions, here is what i want to know, i want to see the documents which trey gowdy has never seen, which is outrageous, and i'm not going to let my client testify, the president of the united states, even if he wants to come out without those documents being produced, and myself and jay sekulow, we are going to go ove. only if and when we find that this was handled appropriately,

and there is some evidence on which they could base this morning investigation, will we h have them testify. but if there is no evidence, which i assume there is noo evidence, and he should not testify. the whole thing should be squashed. it should be ended immediately. we'll challenge mueller to write whatever you got, take your breath punch, with all your 13 democrats there, you couldn't find a republican? >> sean: andrew weissmann. >> how about an independent? guys with ethical issues of the justice department. i know that because i was a high-ranking official in the justice department. so you've got a group there that is a lynching mob. let them do their job, and boy, we are ready to knock the heck out of them, it will be authoritative, backed up, backed up with lawau and facts, and wel let the market people decide this. you know, some people have criticizedu my strategy, to some

extent, playing to the american people. if this were a regular case, it wouldn't be doing it. but the people who will decide this are the people of united states and the 2018 election. and boy, they arehi switching ft and the democrats are running for cover. you don't hear them say the wordsni "impeachment" anymore. i challenge maxine waters to say impeachment. >> sean: say it. it's because it, sweetheart. just say it. you are going to go down, not maybe you because they vote for you, i don't know why, but they bought for you. but your colleagues are going to go down. this is the change that we brought about by engaging and not letting them get away with the unethical behavior that has no outraged judge ellis, judge wood, she threw michael avenatti, the television star of left-wing cnn at msnbc come out of court. he's not ethical enough to belong in an court. he's a big liar.

he wanted to debate me. like heck you will debate me. you should go debate -- >> sean: you know, you said it earlier, and you are confirming here tonight, that if mr. mueller tries to subpoena the president, we'll fight this all the way to the supreme court. markr levin said the constitutin is on the president's side. judge ellis' comments, going back to a 2005 tax case with ukraine and paul manafort to put the screws to the president so that manafort sings or composes, and the hopes they can prosecute or impeach the president. >> sean: sean, i have no fear of it by the president has done nothing wrong. read my lips. nothingre wrong. and none of these people, manafort, cohen, they are not going to live. >> sean: what about the spying and the fisa court abuse? i have brought this up, you lie

to a judge, good luck to you. >> you got to go to jail for that. it's one thing to lie in a criminal case. another thing to lie in a counterintelligence probe. also, the fisa judges really rely, even more than a criminal -- >> sean: rod rosenstein signed the final fisa application. sally yates signed one. >> i mean, so what? [laughs] so what? >> sean: the bulk of it was hillary clinton bought and paid for foreign intelligence filled russian lies. they never corroborated it. >> i'll follow up on what rush said. of course if it wasn't spying, they should have come to the trump campaign. they could have come to me, my goodness,me i was the fbi man of the year that year. they could have come to me and they could have told me, and i could have briefed the president, or they could have briefed the president. >> sean: that would have been in the spring of 2016. the president never met carter page. ever, to this day, he never met carter page. >> he has a direct most of these people.

he hasn't met most of these people that they alleged -- and they have not alleged collusion on the part of anybody, even those russians, the phony indictment they had of the russians, who will never come here for trial. they colluded with each other, russians, losing, colluding. oh, wow. russia has been colluding since the soviet union. they interfere in our elections. thank you, sean. thank you for being a patriot. we really appreciate it. the president appreciates it. >> sean: it's about the truth and as a biggest abuse of power corruption scandal, everything we talk about with fisa, spying on the campaign. >> don't think that he has any reluctance to be interviewed. he is ready, willing, able to be interviewed. he'll knock them out. it is me and his lawyers that don't want to see the president -- >> sean: i would not allow, if i were a lawyer for the president, to go anywhere near any special counsel that hires a guy like andrew weissmann. ever. >> [laughs] >> sean: my two sense. >> i hear you. >> sean: when we come back, an important monologue.

>> >> sean: as you all know by now, over the weekend comedian roseanne barr tweeted out some outrageous, not funny, by her own admission, inappropriate, over the line remarks about former obama aide valerie jarrett. the response, we know that abc has canceled theow repute of "roseanne" this account. tonight, i will respond to roseanne barr's tweet and i'll also highlights what is a sad an obvious double standard in the country, where it appears that only conservatives are held accountable for their words and actions while those on the left never seem to face consequences for outright racism, bigotry, or sexism. that is tonight's open important mini monologue. roseanne barr rightly apologized foror her terrible comments abot valerie jarrett.

she went on to say that no one should defend her in light of what happened. roseanne was right to apologize. but i would argue, we all have to look at this moment and be better as a country. in other words, we've got to respect all races, all creeds, all backgrounds. roseanne is a public figure, public comments. in fact hurt innocent people, and she is facing consequences for her actions, now come as you can say to her own time but abc has their own decision-making with a want to do. we should all feel bad. a lot of innocent people lost their jobs and all of this. they have families, mortgages, rent payments, car payments,ns other expensive, college kids to worry about. now of course roseanne is not the first public figure, though, to make outrageous comments, and shee even admits she has beentl held directly accountable. despicable comments, though, and actions from those on the left appeared to go completely unnoticed. there is a huge double standard. many get a free pass no matter including ay or do, former writer that actually was

on roseanne's show, comedian wanda sykes. before the show was canceled, she announced that she was quitting the show to protest roseanne barr's tweet but wanda sykes herselflf has issued extremely racial tweet including this one. "white people don't steal wallets, they steal countries." of course, she never faced any career ending backlash from that tweet. let'sm not forget about another abc employee, our old friend jimmy kimmel. remember he was on comedy central and he even dressed up in blackface. take a look at this. >> hello, everybody, this is karl malone of the utah jazz here to tell you about karl malone's home state, louisiana. sometime at night, i would like about the sky, and say, what the hell is going up there? he read on tv about why people getting abducted by aliens. now karl malone never seen no flying. self dumb access or his self but if you do, that is a

spooky time. >> sean: the abc ceo puts jimmy kimmel on night after night after night. we cannot forget about is pretty despicable, disgusting extremely sexist it's good that he. remember this. >> hello, welcome to hollywood. would you like to have sex with me? >> no. >> would you like to have sex with me? >> no. >> i'm begging you. i think you would enjoy it. >> big guy, and his unit is relatively small, and it gives you this inadequacy. >> right, right, write. >> oh, my god, ! jesus christ! >> you have ten seconds to then guess what is in my pants. are you ready? >> said. >> go! you can use two hands. >> he will make a fine wife. >> sean: no one at abc, disney, outraged any of that. then you have joyless behar on

abc's "the view." she attacked the vice president, vice president of mike pence. why? is christian faith. take a look at this. >> what's interesting is and she said that jesus tells mike pence things to say. >> when was she around mike pence, though? >> obviously, she was around him. >> you have a mike pence that puts this religious veneer on calls people values voters, i think we are in a dangerous situation. i'm catholic, i am a faithful person, but i don't know that i wantnt my vice president speakig in tongue. >> like i said before, i don't know if i want one thing to talk to jesus, it's another thing when jesus talks to you. >> exactly. there's a difference. that's called mental illness if i am not correct. hearing voices. my question is, can he talk to mary magdalene without his wife in the room? >> sean: really? mental illness if you are a christian? she was eventually a mic forced

to apologize only after weeks of many outrage. she still works for abc. next up, keith olbermann, who is back, short tempered, trump-hating, left bonded. abc just rehired him on espn. you might remember, he went on a number of vials tweet trump's against president trump, one point against him and his daughter, tweeting, "tell your races, white supremacist, neo-nazi father to get out!" yeah, he hired him to go back to espn. good luck with that. we turn our attention to nbc news. last nighto they run a special entitled "everyday racism in america." one of the hosts that was featured, joy reid. you might remember he recently came under fire for outrageous blog posts. she denied the allegations claiming without proof that the internet has been hacked on the firestorm completely goes away. everyone on the left, they just

accepted what was really a bizarre explanation. nbc also frequently features, there he is, the reverend al sharpton, on issues of race and social justice. the same al sharpton, you may remember, that all of these things.u >> you ain't nothing! you are a punk [bleep]! >> the best chicken fried in the universe! >> sean: he works for nbc.s it also frequently features alec baldwin, in order to make one of the president on "saturday night live," despite baldwin's, welcome he'ss got a

temper problem. remember this? >> i hope you kill yourself. >> did you hear what yourself? >> answer, yes or no. >> you are out here when my wife and get her out here, you will have a big problem. >> if you are as dumb as you look. >> are you the one that hit my wife with a microphone in the face? go, you didn't. >> i honestly did not free to if you want to apologize? i ask you a question! i ask you a question! get the [bleep] out of here. >> you have insulted me for the last time! you have insulted me. youyo don't have the brains or e decency as a human being. i don't give a [bleep] that you are 12 years old or 11 years old or that you are a child. you better be ready friday, the 20th, to meet with me, to let you know just how i feel about what a rude little pig you really are. >> sean: um, he also works at

abc. what about fillmore at hbo? take a look at this. >> a lot of us thought, ivanka will be the saving grace, when he's about to [bleep] finland or something. she will walk into the bedroom and, you know, "daddy," "daddy." don't do it, daddy. >> sean: really? okay. let's look at someone else who has long been in the public eye. screwy louis farrakhan. t the congressional black caucus, they had this picture, they had a before the election in 2008. louis farrakhan with barack obama, shielding obama from b criticism, giving his racist and anti-semitic past, including some of these classic insanity comments.

>> here the jews don't like farrakhan so they call me hitler. well, that's a good name. hitler was a very great man. the satanic jews! they control everything and mostly everybody. you s see white people deserve o die. and they know, so they think it is us coming to do it. >> caucasian means weak bloated, weak boned, steel face. pale, with the indians call a pale man. >> sean: the mainstream media expressing outrage that obama, associated with that person, the american people being deceived, they purposely had a picture of the two of them together, right there on your screen? of course, bernadine dorn, bill ayres, reverend wright, the

pastor of the church. let me be clear. i will never, ever call for any boycott or anybody to be fired or any show to be canceled. you have the power to turn the dial. it is important to point out what is a blatant left-wing double standard in this country, and perhaps, the person who summed it up best was the white house press secretary today, sarah sanders, when she said this. take a look. >> the president has pointed to the hypocrisy in the media saying that the most horrible things about the president, no one addressess it. where was the apology to the white house staff or jemele hill calling the president a white supremacist? c or joy behar calling christianity a mental illness? the apology for kathy griffin going on the periphery rent after the photo showed her holding president trump's decapitated head? where was the apology for hirig

keith olbermann after his numerous tweets attacking the president as a nazi and expanding his role after that attack against the president's family? a double standard that the president is speaking about and no one is defending our comments, they are inappropriate, and that is a point he is making. >> sean: well said, sarah sanders. i said at the beginning of this monologue, let's think about this. it is time for all americans, regardless of what your political affiliation is, yeah, we all need to do better. we all need to hold ourselves, our friends, accountable for words and actions. we need tos. be one nation, one people. this country is going to succeed or fail together. if we are attacked, it is all of us attacked. we are supposed to be the united states of america. regardless of race, creed, color, national origin. my religion does teach me, all of us are created by the same god and his image. we can all do so much better. we goter to be the united states

of america. it should be everybody's goal. too many people have died and sacrifice for all of us to have liberty and freedom and we owe that to every single solitary child in this country. up next, joe concha, geraldo rivera. stay with us. ♪ you and that john deere tractor... you can keep dreaming up projects all the way home. it's a longer drive. but just like a john deere, it's worth it.

cliberal gavin newsom from knows becoming governor. they also know chicago lawyer john cox has thirteen losing campaigns under his belt... and cox supports bad ideas like a 23 percent sales tax! california police officers and police chiefs stand with antonio villaraigosa. as mayor, he worked with law enforcement, and cut violent crime in half. antonio for governor.

>> sean: joini ♪ >> sean: joining us now, "the hill"'s joe concha. fox news correspondent at large geraldo rivera. by the way, one of those sharpton's comments was on your old show. big o recognize it. i had a flashback. [laughs] a brilliant montage. you really laid bare the hypocrisy of the left come off the liberal media. no doubt about it. >> sean: where did we go with this? where does it end?

i have never supported boycotts. my attitude is, you don't like the show, turn the dial. you don't have to watch anything. >> two things i'd like to say. number one, what roseanne said, i gave you accolades for that montage. what roseanne did was far worse than anything in that montage. you cannot callan a black woman and eight. in this day and age, you may not -- >> sean: everyone agrees. she agrees. >> my second point, i think our friend, the president, missed an opportunity. he could have easily added a sentence to the tweet that he sent out, which were all legit, pointing out the hypocrisy on the left and when are people going to apologize to him for these insults, but he could have easily said, what roseanne said was indefensible, it was an abomination, or something -- >> sean: sarah huckabee sanders, in fairness, the press secretary, she said all that. >> i want to hear it from him.

>> sean: let me go to you, joe concha. thoughts? >> i wrote about this in "the hill" today, about how conservatives are very upset that it got canceled. not because they were defending her, no sane person could buy it but in this case in particular, disney owns abc, which obviously had "roseanne" on. also owns espn. they just hired key that willn run for the sixth time, as he s. look, as you pointed out, he has called the president dozens of times, and his family. i'llll read you want alone. all in one tweet. "f you at realtor donald trump, nazi, f nazi -- then bob iger puts out a tweet after "roseanne" is canceled,

"roseanne's twitter statement was abhorrent, repugnant, and consistent with our values." i have to answer for hiring olbermann. one more point that you made. as far as the cast here, it is a shame that they lost their jobs, or the staff and everybody else, here's what they would do. you keep that a show on the air, all you have to do is replace roseanne withro patricia eaton r janine turner come up the show back on the air and call it "the connors." >> it is time, sean, you said, we are one country. it is time to have some healing dialogue, some soothing dialogu dialogue. we sink or swim together, brother. >> sean: i appreciate it. when i come back, ed henry, big news concerning north korea nex. 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.

up dinner right there in new york city with the highest ranking north korean official to visit the united states in 18 years. pompeo said it went great, they served american beef by the way, and that this is vice chair, kim yong-chol. the fact that he came to the united states, to the president's backyard basically shows that, while nancy pelosi and other democrats were claiming that kim was celebrating last week after the president canceled the june 12th summit with that letter that he personally dictated, and in fact, ever since north korea has practically been on bended knee trying to get these talks back going. you can see right there, kim wrong alcohol -- yong-chol, very close to kim jong-un. bottom line, tonight's dinner with secretary of state kicks off two days of meetings. they will be meeting in new york city all day tomorrow and the president now planning to meet with the japanese prime minister on june 7th.

that means the june 12 summit could be back on. >> all right. we are seeing it unfold before our eyes. we have hope it will be a better world. let not your heart be troubled. we'll aufls always be fair, balanced, there she is, laura? say, trust but verify, and russian? >> i remember vaguely, because reagan said it. >> laura: do you want to know? >> sean: all right, now try to embarrass your fellow host. >> laura: all right. >> by the way, don't take this the wrong way, but i hate you. [laughs] >> laura: you just made my night. >> sean: i know. >> laura: awesome show tonight, as always. we really like each other, honestly. good evening from washington, i am laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle." we have some unbelievable stories. i say
