>> tucker: amazing how fast that went. i am out of time. tune in every day. and smugness and group think, have a great evening. great sean hannity live from new york city. >> sean: breaking right now tonight. there is a date set for the release of the report. it is a huge fight break out earlier today between the doj and rod rosenstein after the documents promised to be delivered were not handed over. just as we predicted rod rosenstein and company i am suspicious they are burying the report. two days later i am suspicious.

in moments we'll demand injuries from the department of justice which are delaying the findings. brand new developments surrounding the summit with kim jong-un. many around the world are hopeful that the united states of america are inching closer to peace on the korean peninsula. we'll see if we have peace there and middle east. and a deranged media host pushing a bizarre theory about the president and white house. and many spin nothing the media over me. they lost their minds and we'll tell you how revealing it was. and we'll show you blatant examples of "fake news" this entire year. and good news from alice

johnson. a great grandmother experiencing freedom first time in over 20 years granted clemnessy by president trump and good news on the economy tonight. we'll have all of this and buckle up, we'll have this tonight and a breaking news opening monologue. all right. great news. inspector general anticipates the release of the all- important report that went on 18 months. date set one week from tonight. june 14th. we predicted that the findings would have been buried or released and when all eyes are on the president's historic meetings in singapore. and my prediction is right. and we'll have it released. what is the justice department potentially redacted or changed or have over two weeks now.

and how will the american people. will they get the truth in all of this and prevented from seeing the truth and will we get unfettered contents of the inspector general's report? right here on hannity, we'll analyze the report page by page and what will be one of the most consequential days in american history. sorry, i am suspicious and i hopefully will stand corrected next week. we have one bit of development to report. the inspector general is set to testify before the senate the monday following the thursday release. there is a effort that we have seen by congress to -- they are obstructing the congress from the oversight. and according to the senator grassly's office. the doj is refusing to make

documents and one witness available for the general flynn investigation and add to this. the constant slow walking those documents to the house intelligence and oversight committee. sarah carter will tell you about a huge fight that took place and how the doj reneged on a previous commitment to supply documents and the big battle and the department of justice adding new restrictions on how it plans to brief members of congress. what we need is you the american people to see it for yourself. and yesterday, we reported on how rod rosenstein arrogantly rebutched lindsay graham. he demanded to know why he didn't recuse himself and that

decision being a witness in the fires of james comey and he signed off on the third subsequent fisa warrant on a trump associate. senator graham is responding. >> what do you say about whether rod rosenstein will recuse. >> you talk about a counter intelligence investigation i get that but the question is obstruction of justice. i don't know how you can have that description without calling on the memo. and i think he's doing a good job, but i happen why jeff sessions can't do this. i am curious how rosenstein can be involved and also be a witness.

>> sean: first and foremost the president's important trip to singapore and just days away from holding the talks with kim jong-un. they are going to talk about the complete and total denuclearization of the korean peninsula. the president gave a preview of the upcoming trip and this is what he had to say. >> i hope the upcoming meeting with sing moore represents a bright new future for north korea and indeed flooit bright new future for the world. the denuclearization of the korean peninsula would usher in security and peace for all koreans, north and south and people everywhere. we could sign an agreement and looking about it and talking about it with them and a lot of the other people, that could happen but that is really the beginning. it sounds strange, but that is

probably the easy part. the hard part is after that. maximum pressure is in effect. we don't use the term because we are going into a friendly negotiation. perhaps after that negotiation i am use it again you will know how will we do in negotiation. if you hear me say maximum pressure you know the negotiation did not do well. >> if the summit goes well. will you invite the north korea kim jong-un to the united states. >> yes. to the second part of the question. and it would be well rereceived and he want look at it favory. and i am totally prepared to walk away. i did it once before. you have to be able to walk away. i believe that we have the potential to do something incredible for the world and it is it my honor to be involved.

>> sean: the secretary of state weaponed in on the upcoming talks. >> the fact that two leaders are coming to the table shows they are serious. diplomatic model is different from past efforts. we have to find real success where past efforts have fallen short. president trump is hopeful, but he's also going into the summit with his eyes wide open. we have seen many inadequate summits in the past. >> sean: we are only days away from a diplomatic progress. and majority of the americans respond overwhelmingly support the president's upcoming summit after the mainstream media doubted and talks of nuclear

war. and in a sad way because they don't like president trump and want the to democrats to win are rooting again the president's success. take a look. >> the idea of a nuclear show down keeps you up. >> kim is cavalier in a way that makes him seem demented. >> these are messages from a leader who is not well. >> president trump is goading kim jong-un to test a nuclear missile and prove its reliability and show him wrong and i think it comes across as two kindergarteners who are jostling each other but each has nuclear weapons. >> that is too late after 200000 americans died after a nuclear holcast. >> and that's why we are. >> trump's comments about

nuclear weapons have experts worried he could trig are a catastrophe. >> that is typical conspiracy theory. no more missiles are fired over yap jap and guam is not threatened and we have three american host onlies and thank god they are home and freed. and what you saw was "fake news". we watched kim jong-un to walk across the dmz and to the arms of the south korean president. this is a dismantling of a test site. and number two, over their conspiracy liberal joe and mi ka. usually mi ka pushes uptrue absurd theories of the president's mental health and joel 64borough which is

a liberal and today she floated an insane rumor. >> first of all, the hypos chrissy is astounding. i know someone who spoke to donald trump about life in the white house and his biggest complaint that he's not allowed to watch porn in the white house. and there you go. there's a little bit of news. he is upset he can't watch porn. >> i bet you they have 1- 900 numbers blocked. that flies in the face of all of this. >> sean: are you proud of that and what so- called news over there? 30 rock? this is insane and i can't bother. and i go to the third and unbelievable example of "fake news". last night on this program and radio show i made sarcastic remarks highlighting the justice

system under the law and equal application of our nation's law and talking about hillary clinton and comparing her and what she did to those target would by mueller's witch hunt as mueller is requesting the phones. >> muller witnesses if i advised them to follow hillary clinton, delete all of your e-mail and acid wash the e-mails and hard drives on the phone and take them and bash them to a hammer and use bleach bit and remove simcards and hand it to robert mueller and say hillary clinton, this is equal justice under the law. how would that work out for everyone. not the same as hillary. not really, bad advice. follow hillary's lead.

>> not, really, kidding hillary's advice. if i told them. and the insane left wing media headline after headline, they picked up the comments. they are so dumb and gullible and had a full on, describe "fake news" freak- out. look at news week. sean hannity to mueller witnesses. bash your homes with the hammer. roling stone. galaxy brain sean hannity advicing witnesses to smash cell phone. mueller probe witnesses should detry their evidence and sean hannity breaks the law on tv, telling mueller probe witnesses to destroy evidence. and vanitiy fair. goes on and on. >> sean associates, you are not

obsfrukting fast enough. and gq in the game. more crimes they they have already committed and i could go on 20 more minutes here. and the hysteria gets work. look at how andy handled this. sean hannity telling potential witnesses and subjects in the mueller probe to destroy the evidence and hammer their phones into pieces. hannity defeners call that sarcasm or political license. words are words and sean hannity know his words have an impact. if anyone does what sean hannity does there they committed a crime. >> sean hannity enticed and asked people to do is destroy

evidence and that is a violation of a witness stampering. >> no responsible so called journalist should advocate people to destroy evidence. i don't think we'll see him prosecuted. federal prosecutors give people a wide birth on first amendment related conduct and unless there is something to link it up. this is categorized awful but lawful conduct. if he is advocating mueller witnesses to obstruct. and has he spoke to the president about this and did the president say to say this? >> mueller will not light the fire under someone who gets free air time. but one angle is i am going to a judge and have you cease and desist this activity on national television and i want to talk to

you and see if trump got the idea from you or vice versa. >> words matter and if i advised them. and it will not work out well for you. the great irony they are more angry that i was basically saying that hillary clinton did it all it. and i love the idea. i would like to meet robert mueller's democrat donor and i would like to meet the guy who lost to the supreme court to put people in jail to be overturned by the fifth circuit and excorerated by the judges and with holding evidence. i have questions for him and jeanie ray and bob mueller. call me. let's get this straight. the mainstream media would lock

me up for highlighting out our two- tiered justice system and they didn't get the fact that hillary did that. she acid drive her hard drive and lied about all of it. they did all of this. are you really that dumb, please tell me it is not true. you would think that one, under mueller some would get away with that. just to be clear, don't do what hillary did. it will not end well for you like i said last night. you will not get the same treatment. media hit a new low. you can't believe it or make it up. >> president trump granted clemency. the woman's name was alice johnson sentenced to prison for

a nonviolent drug crime. first day of freedom after 20 days. >> only way i made it through that time and this is the truth was my faith in god. i knew he would bring me out and i live my life with an eye toward walking out a free woman and the day i got the news that president trump granted my clemency and gave me a second day. it was the best day of my life. >> sean: we wish you all of the best. and i think there is more cases and i give people second chances. coming up author of the russian hoax and greg jarret. he's writing a book and this will be a best seller. the case against impeaching trump.

and allen and i would like to do events with both of you. and happy book signings. and you sign books and i have a beer. >> happy to do it. >> let's go, first the whole issue with me. professor, you knew i was being sarcastic. >> you have a constitutional right to make the comparison. i may not agree but you have the right constitutionally protected way. you did it in a sense of sarcasm. she did it but you will not get away with it. it is absurd to see the media. >> i have lawyers who will take me on as a client. >> you would not need us. i could find a first year student. >> sean: how do they get onary. >> i suspect they never listened. i saw the clip. and cease and desist order ought

to be had. if he is a lawyer, he is dumb as a buck of hair. sarcasm does not constitute inciting a crime. those people criticizing you for that have no idea what you are talking about illegally. >> sean: you just saw why they are best seller. the doj a spy or more. and constitutional attorney, single has a constitutional roll of oversight. why will they not turn the document over. >> they should. i am a civil libertarian and i go back to the war movement. and they were put in the anti- martin luther king movement. >> sean: he was spied on in a horrific way. >> yes, horrific way.

and as a civil libertarian when you put a person in the campaign i want to know why. maybe it was business as usual. but the american public has a right to know and make their own judgment. >> sean: this is a scary time, professor. i am as pro law enforcement as anybody. my mother was a prison guard and my dad worked in probation. all of my family, many of them are police and two in the f.b.i. and that was the top of the hill. >> i never pass a police without saying thank you. firemen and police and school teacher and they work hard to protect us and with their lives. i appreciate it every day of the week. >> sean: they will not hand it over and rosenstein's conflicts and they promised to hand it over, greg, why?

>> congress has every legal and constitutional right to see the doiments and those seeking it has security clerrance. the gang of eight and there is no legal justification of with holding it. they center a long and distinguished record of concealing evidence and redacting records under the national security terms and we find out when they are unsealed, there was no such thing. >> i would recommend congress writing to the justice department and say we want to see what the originals look like and we want to know why it was changed and when. >> and the inspector general would have it. >> you can't trust a briefing as trey guyed indicated. you have to see the documents themselves. >> i have to go. but your books are so

complementary and i am thinking i would love to do an event with both of you. when we come back, sarah carter will have breaking new it is and also congressmap desantos. but then something happened. we had to deal with spam, fake news, and data misuse. that's going to change. from now on, facebook will do more to keep you safe and protect your privacy. because when this place does what it was built for, then we all get a little closer.

>> sean: joining us now tonight. florida congressman and ron desantos i hope will be the next governor for the golden state. full disclosure for folks in msnbc. sarah carter, i spoke with you last night and we were working our sources and then again this morning at 7:00, there were supposed to be released documents from the doj early

this morning and they pulled them back, what happened. >> they failed to mention they issued a press release and sean after midnight and stating they would turn over documents next week or allow documents to be reviewed next week and ask more questions about the information that they requested on april 24th. and that will basically shed light on the entire russia investigation. it is these documents that the doj and f.b.i. are refusing to turn over to law makers and this is significant and battled with them on may 24th. and remember the meeting where the doj and f.b.i. were supposed to share documents with nunez and representative trair -- tray gowdy and others. it is it a back and forth

battle. they refused to turn them over this morning and issued a press release that no one was aware of except for the reporters. congressional members were in the dark and waiting for the document and once again they were not there. >> sean: i have breaking news if i can throw it to you. federal law enforcement. justice department seizes times reporter's email and phone records in e-mail investigation. seizing a year worth of ""new york times" reporter. excuse me, i never thought i would be defending the ""new york times", they suck. but they don't have a right to the reporter's notes or records. do we have freedom of press? this sounds scare toe me.

what is your reaction? >> it is against the back drop. no one is prosecuted who did leaking since the administration took over. michael flynn was a fisan intercepted and that was leaked by somebody, probably an obama hold over. there was a cascade of leaks and no one was held accountable for any of these things. i need more inform foreman on what is happening here. i know there is a former staffer on the senate intelligence committee that will probably be indicted. i am not sure working for a democrat or republican. i have a guess. but in the end of the day, you had series of leaks and no accountability up to this point. >> sean: news media and write this. consider mining a journalism records a mess. sarah carter, we work sources last night, and it is none of

their business who we talk to and who i or you talk to. muler doesn't have a right to this information. >> absolutely, absoluty. when we look at over all, you know what is happening here, james clapper has been outed as someone who is, congress believes leaked information to cnn, we know that president's private conversations were leaked to the media. and that does not give the right for the doj start mining reporter's television numbers and reporter's information to find out who was the leaker. i think they know where the leaks are coming from. give polygraphs. >> sean: look at their own office. >> like mike flynn. find out who was leaking inside of the doj or inside of the f.b.i. or inside of the administration.

as to the classified he cans. >> sean: we are just putting it together. ""new york times" times, even their own leadership is commenting on this. they will realize that sean hannity may have been right, and greg jarret and sarah carter. we pointed out lying to fisa court abuse and omissions by lying to the judges. and hillary clinton's crime and dual justice system for this country and fixing investigations and everything else associated with this. that has been our point, the entire time crum congressman how do we get to the bottom of this now. >> they fight tooth and nail to show american people the activities. rosenstein even last night was refusing to turn over the

documents. they are saying this is what we want the f.b.i. to do. if that is the case, show the documents to the american people and congress. and see how good you did. the fact they are not doing that. that tells me there was problems in the collusion investigation. that i am not show us papadopoulos stuff and halbert. >> sean: sarah carter? >> what was the scope of all of this. i said it over and over again. one maul portion of massive abuse. the american people deserve the truth because our country relines ourselves on want foundation and it is not spent for weaponizing the intelligence community. congress has to fight harder to get those answers. >> sean: this is the biggest abuse of power corruption

scandal in our nation's hospital. this is now coming true, sadly. we don't get this under control and this is horrific to the future of law and order under this country and equal application under the law and the constitution was in the and bed rock foundation of all of our law and 4th amendment protection. and edhenry on the summit to canada and new details happening in singapore. and by the way, we'll be. there we'll talk about it with daniel and dr. gorka. busy news night. stay with us. but this time bold. did someone say "bold?"

>> sean: before we get to a report from our >> the ""new york times" reporting about the doj seizing a reporter's phone. i mispoke and said mueller.

but it is the doj. one thing we are learning here a part of it covered years worth of communications with the particular reporter and ashes parent leap the reporter had a previous three year in the security. and said that was never the source. the standard and bar, legally is so high to get all of that information, this should be troubling to anybody that has sources. there are all sorts of people that are sources for myself and our newa division and so many other people. you got to protect those. but the leaking has to stop, too. but this is it a real problem to me. president trump has two major summits not only with north korean leader kim jong-un, but the g- seven summit in canada that starts in washington. we'll have ed henry, ed, this is

a pretty big store tore that broke with the times. >> reporter: yes, the leaks, and that goes back to the obama administration. and there was more leak investigation under the obama administration. and there will be a lot of back lash about the reporter's records going through. that is it breaking. and the president is about to engage in a busy few days of diplomacy coming up and that's the reason he keeps lashing out and doesn't have the best relationship with the doy and he was leading the investigation with the reporter and frustrated with the leadership and attorney general sessions and the president lashing out at robert mueller and tweeting that it is it a distraction from the

weekend trip from the g-seven summit and north korean summit. the president relishing to spar with the allies like justin trudue. and president macron. tell them they are charging the u.s. massive tariffs. and the eu trade surplus is 150 billion and in canada keeps farmers and product out. the president will be leaving canada to get to singapore sooner and meeting with the japanese prime minister who praised the president who brought a fresh approach. the critics point out that it would be hard to get the north korea denuclearized and they

remineded it would not end tension. and the p has hopes to kim jong-un would visit the white house but stress he would walk from the table if kim do not agree to denuclearize. >> i believe we have the potential to do something incredible to the world and i am totally prepared to walk and it could happen and i hope it is not necessary to walk. >> reporter: we would like to see the u.s. and north korea normalize their relations and ambassadors to open up relations. >> sean: here with reaction is former deputy assistant to the president fox news national security strategist dr. gorkan and fox news contributor taniel
