sadly, that is it for us ght. tune in every night at 8:00 after the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and especially groupthink. n good night. sean hannity's next from singapore. hey, sean. >> sean: especially groupthink. good to see you. good show. welcome to "hannity," yes, we are broadcasting live from singapore. days ago, president trump ushered in a new era of diplomacy, meeting one-on-one with the north korean dictator kim jong un.he president trump and kim jong un have now departed but we will be in singapore foror the rest of e week. one off the reasons is, i havea threeadio show, this tv show, and a 22-hour flight to new york. i can't miss a single minute of coverage. why? because the all-important inspector general's report is coming out tomorrow. in moments, we are goingo preview the hugely consequential report. if it's done right and fairly and without prejudice or doj obstruction, this report will shed a critical light on

how hillary clinton's 2016 criminal investigation was grossly mishandled by a group of bureaucrats under the coercive thumb of the obama administration. also tonight, huge controversy, deputy ag rod rosenstein is in hoing stiff criticism from legal scholars, lawmakers alike, over his bully, intimidate the house intel committee. we will bring you a full report. until intel committee chairman devin nunes with us in just a second. it will make your blood boil. naturally, this all surrounds the mainstream media. of course they are blinded by the hatred for president trump. but literally this coverage, b this pathology has gotten so out of control and we are asking the question tonight, are they rooting for america to fail? a less prosperous america? a less peaceful world? what is wrong with these people? we are going to show you the worst of the worst.

sit tight, buckle up, it's time for tonight's very important breaking news singapore opening monologue. ♪ it's 9:00 a.m. in singapore at 9:00 p.m. in the nation's capital. in less than 20 hours, the doj's watchdog is scheduled to release this all-important ig report. 18 months we have been waiting. as we speak, we have a team of experts lined up that will be ine by line, ae00-plus pages in will break it all down, i promise, as soon as we get also tonight, pressure from rod rosenstein and other obstructionist bureaucrats in the doj, this impending report should shed a critical l on what were the crimes of hillary clinton and how the fbi, doj, high-ranking members of the obama administration completely and intentionally fixed, botched the criminal investigation.. of course, the contents of the reportldlly ruined

by rod rosenstein and his bureaucratic friends at the department of justice. remember, this report could be very embarrassing for all of them. tonight we are asking the questions. will the report include massive redactions?ered by the upper echelo were michael horowitz's findings twisted, parsed, or altered in any way? we will have a ful report tomorrow. you don't want to miss it. the facts, they are not even in dispute. look at the side of the screen. hillary clinton, we know, fact, irrefutable, violated 18e usc 793, espionage act. she mishandled, destroyed classified top-secret special access programming information. it's a fact. she deleted 33,000 subpoenaed emails. 18 usc 2071. that's a fact. she acid washed her hard18 drive with bleach bit. and that's a fact, too. she destroyed literally, had

aides destroy, her mobile devices with a hammer. that's a,, fact. of course, remember christians rca, he spent a year in prison for six pictures of a cell phone that he was proud to serve on. far less than hillary rodham clinton. that is a fact. we know that comey and peter strzok, they started writing the exoneration of hillary in early may 2016 but they didn'tng interview her and 17 other witnesses until early july and three days later exonerated h we know they pulled out the legal definition of gross negligence and pulled out before and intel agencies likely hacked into the server. in the bathroom closet. that's a fact. we have a very importantmp developing story we've got to tell you about.e' deputy ag, there you see on the screen, rod rosenstein. according to reporting from catherine herridge, the deputy ag of the united states of america actually threatened tonr records of several republican

members of congress and their staffs. and after losing his temper, which, according to multiple sources i know, does, he launched into what was described as a personal attack against a congressional staffer. this all came after the house intel committee ramped up its multiple doj led tsurrounding investigations in january. in other words, let me make this clear, rod rosenstein was tryinh to bully, intimidate, threaten house republican, house intel committee chairmen and their members from following and doing their constitutional duty of oversight. we have in the system, in our country checks and balances, separation of powers. it's actually called the u.s. constitution. by the way, you should, and i will call it reprehensible that anybody in the department of justice would ever use their power or threaten to use theirar power as america's defacto t law enforcement official to

literally intimidate members of congress. prevent them from doing their job. former chief assistant u.s. attorney matthew mccarthyef sumd it up, "rod rosenstein's subpoena threat, he's conflicted and he's acting like it." meanwhile, harvard law professor alan dershowitz rightly speak out. watch this. >> this is a classic dispute between separation of powers. obviously to oversee an power investigation, investigate the executive branch. a member of the executive branch, what rod rosenstein is, shouldn't be able to bully the legislative branch. he should be transparent. he should turn over the documents. he should beanra cooperative and congress should be cooperative of the executive branch. >> sean: professor dershowitz is 1000% right. listen to legal expert attorney jonathan turley.

he's also slamming rod rosenstein. take a look. >> i think the threat for a civil subpoena was reckless. he shouldn't have done that. he is subject to the oversight of the house and senate committees. these committees have a history ofher poor oversight. for those of us who have argued for years that these committees need to exercise real oversight, demand documents are not backdog trend. the allegation thaone party used the fbi to investigate the opposing party, it's one of the most serious matters for oversight in our system. it goes to the very heart of our electoral system and our governmental system. there is every reason for the members to want to see these documents. >> sean: some members of congress, they are also firing back. congressman gowdy and meadows revealed the resolution calling out rod rosenstein for his threats to subpoena. of course it all comes in c the shadow of the rampant obstruction of justice thatt we know has been going on with the

doj not willing to hand over documents. including specific requests from the house intel committee chairman devin nunes over documents surrounding the fbi's use of informants in the trump campaign. c nunes set a deadline for yesterday. the doj ignored it. that is really problematic. rod rosenstein, i have a question. why are you obstructing, intimidating, threatening, harassing congressional members and their staffs? it is time for r rosenstein to step aside or be fired in this case because if thiss an attempt at c obstruction of justice, mr. rosenstein, why won't you let congress do their job? according to new politico poll numbers, mueller's public image, rod rosenstein appointed mueller, is at an all-time low. people beginning to understand. ap reporting mueller's team is "worried that russian intelligence services will use o

gather information about its inveation and u.s. intelligence gathering methods." they never should've filed those indictments. tonight, i hope you can stomach this. your mainstream, corrupt media, the destroy-trump media has despite so much success at home on the economy and abroad, not including this week here in singapore, the president has been overwhelmingly portrayed negativelys. earlier today, the president is fighting back. he tweeted:ea "so funny to watch the fake news, especially nbc and fake news cnn. they are fighting hard tooplay . 0 days ago they would have "begged" for ts deal. looked like war would break out. our country's biggest enemy is the fake news so easily promulgated by fools!" now the president is right, and here's all the proof you will ever need. you can't make this up. they call themselves newspeople. it's pathetic. a bunch of lazy, overpaid

so-called colleagues, and they have a radical left-wing agenda. it'sious. take a look. o >> usually when trump signs an agreement with a foreigner, it's a prenup. >> almost caveman-like. ity is. fred flintstone running the country. writing things on a stone, actually not even able to do that. >> president trumpai said kim jong un is absolutely invited to the white house. yeah. unless of course kim jong un wins the super bowl or the nba championship. >> why the praises? we all talk about a case like that, the language. it's outrageous the way he talks. this guy is a killer. >> a lot of the reason we were be suruclear tests andr war, to the reckless and irresponsible rhetoric from donald trump ratcheting up tensions.

this is the arsonist getting credit for putting out the fire. >> to believe kim jong un is going to give away his nuclear arsenal, which really gives him the power, i think we went toooo far. giving him validity. >> just because something hasn't happened before doesn't mean it's historic. that's one thing. en you call something historic, it means it has a good chance of having lasting implications. i think it's very unclear, at least to my layman's eye, that this does that. >> any previous president could have easily had a summit with any previous leader with korecause the been very eager to be legitimated byf united states.au donald trump is the first one to agree to do that. >> sean: meanwhile, over at msnbc, the conspiracy theorists' choice in cable news, youhi have liberal morning host joe scarborough trashing republicans who support the republican

commander in chief. shocking. take a look. >> the republican party have devolved into a trumpist cult. >> it's clear that conservatism, liberalism, voting record, doesn'tter. president has an incredible holdover has base. >> sean: the only cult are the people who watch that ridiculous morning show ofat yours. doesn't matter what president trump does. it doesn't matter how successful thquality of life for you, the american people,orgotten men anmen, becomes. the media in this country is blinded by pathological hatred of this president, so much so that it's now outweighing their desire even for a robustst econy and peace in the world. this is sick. the presses actively, clearly

rooting for the president to fail. if he fails, the country fails, the world fails, at all costs. even if it means a better quality of life. joining us now, we have a lot o. house intelligencece committee chairman devin nunes. mr. chairman, good to see you. reaction to rod rosenstein, ar two-part question. did he threaten to subpoena thee emails of you, other members of congress, your staff, and other documents? because he had one of his temper tantrums and got angry? >> sean, it's great to see you live in singapore. i think you should come home eventually but i enjoy seeing you there. listen, this has been going on since last august. we subpoenaed them last august. as you know, you've covered it every night on your show. we continue to try to get cuments. we can't get documents. we've had many, what i would say, altercations with the deputy attorney general and his staff. what i think is inappropriate -- i am fine. i can takeh the heat.

you can attack me all you want. i'm used to it. i enjoy it. however when it comes to attacking staff and when the staff feels unortable, far.s when you've gone too the staff are citizens of the united states who work hard for their country, they are izpatriots. they don't have the abilit to come on televion like i and plead my case. look, the staff definitely have felt threatened. just recently, the staff were all kicked out of the room. what people should be concerned aboutoo the mt right now is obstruction of a valid congressional investigation by the department of justice. let me explain to you just one point, and i will go back to you, sean. just one simple point. we've been investigating this for a year and a half. fisa abuse and other matters. we now are at the end. we need documents to get to the bottom of what actually happened in this situation. in the last weeks, they have kicked out the staff.

the lead investigators on this. now they have kicked out all the houseis intelligence committee members, so the only ones that are going to provide documents to, in the whole entire house of representatives, only two republicans. paul ryan, the speaker, and myself. this is totally acceptable. it's a classic case of obstruction of a congressional investigation.re at the problem we have here is, who's going to investigate the investigators? >> sean: let me ask you about a staffer, kash patel. is he the one or one of the people who got kicked out of the room? i really want to know, when you threaten and intimidate, to use the power of that office, being the deputy attorney general, isn't that itself a form of obstruction, and does that raised the question of impeaching rod rosenstein? >>tell ywould rather not g into the names of thetaff. it's more than one. for the particular incident, there were three staff in the room but there's been many

others that he felt threatened at different levels by the department of justice. they have not been intimidated. our members have not been intimidated. but what they have done now, how do you get to obstruction, how do you get to misleading congress? by taking this information we've been legally asking for, a legal subpoena that were trying to enforce, and you move it upstairs and say no, no, it's going to be super top-secretng information that we are only going to give to the gang of eight. that's t what's happening. people in america should be alarmed. this is a way to hide information, not only from the american people, but to their w congressmen. and to the staff that work for them. >> sean: how do you possibly get it?ha is it true that rod rosenstein blew up at you a number of times and that he h a horrible temper? and do you view his threat as a form of obstruction in and of itself? that's an important questior or.

>> let me answer the first part. i can't do psychoanalysis on roo rosenstein. but i can tell you is the behavior is unacceptable. his unwillingness to provide documents -- i said this a couple weeks agon maria's i said, look, all you have tooo do, if you -- iff is no fisa abuse here, no problems with the fisa application, if there were no problems, informants or spies or whatever were run into the trump campaign, all you have to do is show the house intelligence committee all of the documents. i let the investigators comb through the documents. look, we are not getting that. what does that tell you? we would exonerate them in a second. where does this lead? tomorrow we have the ig report coming out. i think this is going to be the first step for america and the department of justice and the fbi to begin the healing process. the healing process would be

made much easier if we could complete that by then delivering all of the documents to us. tomorrow they are supposed to deliver documents to the speaker and myself. we informed every republican member on our committee, signed a letter today to the department of justice to say it is totally unacceptable. >> sean: how do you stop it? >> two ways. we can hold mr. rosenstein and others at the department of justice in contempt and impeachm the other way would be for the president of the united states to demand them, to order them to give us all the documents. those are really the only two ways. >> sean: the president needs to hear this message. the president needs to hear this message. are you willing to go, sir, as far as impeaching? >> well, i am already past -- i wanted to move to contempt months ago. the speaker of the house believes he can work with dojo and we're going to continue to

try to work that path tomorrow. but i can tell you my patience has run out. i have none left. now it's really up too the leadership of the house and the president of the united states in order to make sure that our subpoena gets complied with. >> sean: we cannot have a deputy attorney general of the united states that is preventing congress from doing their constitutional job and threatening people using the power of that office, which ise so powerful, to intimidate, harass, and basically stifleo the job your constitution requires you to do. mr. chairman, thank you. we appreciate all you're doing. hope you get to the bottom of it.ou joining us now, the author of the soon-to-be released book, in july, it's coming. "the russian hoax: the illicit scheme to clear hillary clinton and frame donald trump." fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett.

and fox news investigative reporter and contributor sara carter. you heard the conversation with devin nunes. you know kash patel. catherine herridge named him herself. >> absolutely.rr kash patel has been workingng with the house intelligence committee on this for some time. these threats, these direct threats by rod rosenstein to kash patel and other members of the committee are unacceptable. he is trying to weaponize his office to keep these peo quiet, to keep the americancc people from hearing the truth, sean. >> sean: are your sources confming what i have heard from people? >> yes, he absolutely does have this temper. i've talked to a number of people who have dealt with rod rosenstein. they say his temper is out of control. he's actually obstructing, the word you u obstructing the american people from understanding the truthy about what's happening. >> sean: this is a form of obstruction, by intimidating, threatening. >> these are people who work -- remember -- >> sean: threat by the department of justice, the second in charge. if you keep doing your

reporting, we are going to subpoena your emails. >> this is what's happening in our country. res are af of seeking the truth out because they are terrified the department of justice is going to come after them. look what happened to james rosen who was heree wither fox news. look happened to the associated press under the obama administration. and now in the doj, under the trump administration. this is why the president of the united states has to order it. so we can wrap uphe the investigation. >> sean: he can order every one of the documents released unredacted immediately. >> absolutely.at he can order that at this very moment. >> sean: let me go to gregg jarrett. gregg, let's talk about the actions and the threats here that have been confirmed now by multiple sources of rod rosenstein.. first of all, i see that, on top of the obstruction we've already had. i see that as obstruction. and number two, what do you do in a case like this besides impeachment or the president getting the information out to people? >> it is a crime for a public official like rod rosenstein to

use his office to threaten, incr exercising their constitutional duties. we are the ones who actually first broke this story on february 2, on your program. i reported it, i received a ent of denunciations that i was lying and making it up. turns out it was true. this is not only obstruction of justice but it's a statute called abuse of power. i think devin nunes is corre it's not only obstruction of congress and should move as such but rod rosenstein should be impeached over this. >> sean: real quick, we onlyhe have a few seconds. the ig report tomorrow. the facts are not in dispute. will the ig do his job? >> i believe the ig will do his job. michael horowitz will do his job tomorrow. >> sean: i have my doubts. gregg, last word. will he do his job? >> i think he will do his job and he won't go as far as he should.

that's my prediction. >> sean: all right, thank you both for being with us. a lot of breaking news. ed henry here with new details. two big stories rattling washington tonight. congressman jim jordan, ron desantis, matt gaetz will join us ♪ -♪ he's got legs of lumber and arms of steel ♪

he now withe stories, fox news, our chief national correspondent. he is still with us in singapore tonight, ed henry. a lot going on back home where it's nighttime, 9:27. it is 9:27 a.m. here and we'll be eating breakfast after this. >> that's right. can't wait to see you, sean. bottom line, after the waiting for the explosive inspector general report, we are told key lawmakers will get their hands on it tomorrow. about 12 noon eastern time. then our viewers, the public at large expected to see it online midafterno, maybe 2:00, 3:00 p.m. eastern time. members of congress i've spoken to who have been briefed on this have got some detail suggesting it's going to blister tme fbi officials like james comey, andrew mccabe for their mishandling of the hillary clinton email investigatio classified information on the email server. that of course will potentiallyn raise more questions aboutwhhert

the fbi but the justice department as well were more zealous in probing the president over allegations of russian collusion th theyng were in terms of getting to the bottom of the clinton probe. meanwhile, justice department pushing back and denying what you just reported on about deputyttorney general rod rosenstein threatening republican devin nunes. you heard him a moment ago, and his aides with a subpoena of their emails and phone records. democrats defending rosenstein, as did the attorney general jeff sessions on tucker's program last night. republicans are insisting this happened and it's a problem. watch. >> it is deeply concerning that instead of having a cooperative relationship with this agency, respectful of the importance of the congress, having access to documents regarding matters that they are investigating, that they have oversight responsibility for, and this is not the way to conduct that. >> more evidence republican from matt gaetz tweeting tonight "the

doj's intimidation and stonewalling tactics have gone too far. i have heard firsthand from ocongressional staff following s delivered by deputy ag rosenstein. staff has literally been scared to the point ophysically shaking in my office out of l concern for their family." our colleague gregg jarrett who you just heard from, he reported in early february that rosenstein had made this threat to nunes and his staff. at the time, "huffington post" said the reporting from gregg was "dubious." given the reporting of caherridge now, emails suggting these threats may have happened. it sounds like gregg was right all along, sean. >> sean: he was right. i talked to one person that was a victim of this. sara has multiple people that were witness to this. we have even more confirmation. ed henry, i know you're going to be headed home tomorrow. thank you so much for all your hard work. i know you've been working long hours. great job as always. joining us now from washington,, republican congressman jim

jordan, ron desantis, and the man we quoted, matt gaetz. congressman jordan, let me begin with you.rd do you know, as i've heard directly from people, sara hasas heard, catherine herridge has heard, and others and gregg jarrett, that in fact we have rod rosenstein threatening, intimidating to use the power of that office to go after people in congress and their staffs, trying to do their job? >> i believe it's happened. i talk to folks who say it happened, who were there. if, in fact, this did take pla h i thk it did, this isha the executive branch threatening staffers of a standing house committee trying to do their job and get answers for the american people. this is as wrong as it gets. the fundamental question it raises is, will the speaker ofof the house stand up and defend house intelligence committee staffers? the best way to do that in my judgment is to bring up the resolution that the three of us introduced, mr. meadows and others introduced, earlier today on the house floor. >> sean: i agree with you. where is the speaker on that? congressman ron desantis.

>> this conduct, to me, is disqualifying. he cannot be the deputy attorney general. he's threatening people who work in congress simply because we are doing our job to try to get answers for the american people. the arrogance of rosenstein, for months and months, to stonewall and stonewall, nonstop. even basic answers, to redact information, it's gotten to the boiling point, we in congress need to act. i think his position there is untenable. >> sean: when i am hearing, congressman gaetz, one of the reasons rod rosenstein is doing a lot of this is because there are specific documents with specific days andar dates that may implicate him. have you heard the same thing? >> we have, sean. rod rosenstein is interactively conflicted in this investigation. as brave patriots like kash patel work hard for the congress to expose the corruption and the

bias, then they are threatened by rod rosenstein? this is outrageous. kash patel was in my office, concernee facthat he, staff membe w doing his job and then some how had a different branch of government bringing these threats upon him. look, i am sick and tired of rod rosenstein's games. i think we need to impeachth rosenstein. he won't turn over documents. he signed a fisa renewal against the president of the ed states and frankly if we don't step up annd institution, then what good is the congress anyway?an >> sean: okay. and he has this temper, which have all of you heard about it? can you shake your head? i've heard about it. i think chairman nunes is being pretty nice because, you know, i just assume he didn't want to go on the record. but to use that power the way we are talking about here, here is what i'm hearing, congressman. itr going to be e president demands thesee congress has the optionf impeacng him. that would require the speaker to step up here.e.on

but more importantly, when do we get the documents and how does congress do its job if they are being intimidad that they are going to be the subject of harassment and investigation as retaliation for congress doing their constitutional duty? >> sean, you are right. there are certain tools we have in the toolbox. they should all be at our disposal to get the information we constitutionally are entitley get to get answers for the american people.e. it's really that basic. i think there are twoe. fundamental questions the first one is, the report comes out tomorrow from the inspector general. it will have people in there that will be cited for wrongdoing.il will rod rosenstein fire people who are cited in the inspector general's report for wrongdoing in the clinton investigation? the second fundamental question is what i have raised before.gd will the speaker of the house stand up and defend people on standing committees threatened by the department of justice? the best way to do that is to bring up the resolution. if they don't comply d with the document request and theis resolution, then look for exactly what matt gaetz talk about,tempt d impeachment

are tools in the toolbox that we may have to go to. finally, there is what devin nunes said, the president can say release the informationt so they can get answers. >> sean: last question. exit question. congressmadesantis and gaetz, we will start with you. congressman desantis. be quicker, better forr the country, that the psident, that he demand the documents congress has been obstructed from getting, ould he demand? wouldn't that be the faster path? >> i think so. jim jordan, mark meadowsnd i sent him a letter couple weeks ago urging him to do that. he has the power and i think he imshould do it. the american people deserv the truth on this. donald trump has been treated as poorly as anybodby some of these jokers. he should definitely pull the trigger on that. >> totally agree, sean.. totally agree. absolutely. the president has the power to this thing home. he can do it, and we're going to stand behind him. >> sean: all right, thank you all for being with us. when we come back, rush limbaugh taking on president trump's

and especiallyhe signif the declaration which reiterated the pledge to get rid of nukes. >> sean: great points by rush limbaugh, pointing out how completely, absolutely mediaided your corrupt was by the great success here in singaporas ire north korean summit. am median inow despicable the event that would result in, oh, a safer world for your children, your grandchildren perhaps. wow. watcth >> some of the talk about how close donald trump and kim jong un were during this entire experience, it seems like almost a bromance to me. >> i should say one of the consequences of the summit meeting, we are hoping good things will come from it, but one of the consequences is china

and others are already talking about relaxing. >> president trump has diffused a crisis but i must say that i i don't think hehould get as much credit for diffusing a crisis that he largely made himself. >> president trump somehow stumbled into some kind of historic moment here where hese does bring north korea in fromf the cold. i think it will be unquestionably a big success for him. but at this point, we areuc talking about a white house where not only they struggled with the details, they have struggled with reality. they struggle in dealing with reality. >> sean: here with reaction, he's "the hill" media reporter, joe concha. a onibutor, former secret service agent dan bongino. i don't think it could get any worse. i don't think we can call them newspeople anymore, joe. look, you've been on the show. we've talked about, i don't hide that i am a conservative. they try to say they are fair. there's nothing fair. it's like 24/7 conspiracy,

hate-fest, even on important issues, like, let's see, possible nuclear war, they can't be cheering for the president to do well here? >> i read nate silver's twitter feed. he's a very good analyst and he probably did not vote for president trump. he's no fan. i think he had the best take on this. i will steal it from nate. he said, "there's a lot of esoteric takes about the trump-kim summit that sidestepped a rather important question of whether the talks reduce the lelihood of nuclear war." "90% of the pundit class commentary seems to be constructed with the goal of convincing people that trump shouldn't get any credit." nate silver couldn't be any more right. not a fan of the president. i saw a recurring theme here sean, and that's that most of the punditry we heard over the last 48 hours, there was a lot of complaining about the generality of the agreement,e about trump not denouncing human right abuses in noh korea we never heathing about

that with the iran deal in tehran and the way they treat their people in that country. what i did not hear were solutions offered up by the very expert punditry class that are products of the obama administration, the bush administration, who have no leg to stand on here as far as what we should be doi and whatto should have been done during the summit with north korea because both of thoseon administrations along with the clinton administration failed miserably. the final point here is thatos there's a disconnect with the american people. because while 90% of thehe coverage was probably negative in terms ofpl criticizing the resident about the summit, reuters has a poll out today. 51% approve of the president's handlingf rth kore which is remarkable considering how polarized this country is. you can't get over 50% agreement on anything. so that shows you the disconnect between what people are feeling on the ground, what they saw at the summit, and what the punditry class is saying out of washington and new york. >> sean: well, i've always argued, i think i will stand by this, in fact, the president

under poles in a lot of ways. dan bongino, let me get your observations about all of this. so much at stake. it ends up better than anybody anticipated. all thatt happened in the lead up, missiles not being fired, crossing the dmz, hostiles being released, talking about denuclearization, breaking down one of the nuclear test sites in north korea. you think i'm a good thing. 's worth conversation at this point >> jean, these people discussed me. everyone is being nice and gentlemanly. i'm not interested. i n'ttand them. they are a disgrace to journalism, the country, to the planet, any other planets that may exist that have life on it. did you contrast the coverage of this with the coverage of bill clinton in the '90s dealing with north korea where it was very fair,ournalistic, fact-based and laudatory? these people are disgusting. what's their plan? joe saidething everyone should take note of. what's the plan, wise guys, smart-asses out there?

what iyour plan? months ago we had hawaii setting off missile alarms because the north koreans were on a ha trigger. a what's your plan to st it? you think nuclear war is a joke? these media clowns who've never a n a re job outside of journalism school, what's your plan, you jokers? i am tired of these people. they have become almost anti-american in their rhetoric towards this president. >> sean: fair question.is what's their plan? we know what the answer is. oh, they want an american president apologizing for the country because they love that. and a nobel peace prize for nothing. they want literally cargo planes of cash and other currency and l if you bribe the dictator, oh, that's right. didn't work for clinton or obama. last word, joe. >> i can't believe whenor you play that montage that nicholas kristof, "new york times," who has been writing for long time, i think is a very intelligent person,

had the audacity to say that the north korean problem was a problem eated by president trump? this has been going on for decades over three prior administrations, they didno anything to deter north korea advancing their nuclear cacapabilities. for nicholas kriof, "the new york times" who has won many awards, to say something like that is reckless, irresponsible and, quite frankly, shocking. given that he's a very intelligent guy. >> sean: i will tell you why it's not shocking. i said it in 2007 and 2008 and ever since. journalism in the country is dead. "the new york times" is not about reporting. they are about advocates. they are an extension literally of the democratic partyy establishment. they're basically their press office. all right, gre job, both of you. good rant tonight, dan bongino. when we come back, president trump making more news on north korea and a lot of it go. we will also be joined by sebastian gorka, daniel hoffman. they are here straight ahead next from singapore. ♪ they are here straight ahead
