different outfit on "fox & friends." kellyanne conway and denny mccarthy -- i might keep the same outfit. then join me on radio from 9:00o until noon, steve hilton will be joining us from england. speaking of england, sean hannity's next and he's not in hisso you're up in six hours but great show tonight. welcome to "hannity." we are broadcasting tonight from london ahead of the president's first official visit here in england. there is so much happening right here in europe and at home, without a doubt this is one of the busiest news cycles in years. we have a lot to cover tonight, we have a huge show. newt gingrich, and much more. but first earlier today, president trump attended the annual nato summit where he had some very tough talk for european leaders, the ones that rely on your hard earned

taxpayer dollars to pay for your defense. that will explain why under president trump of america will no longer serve as the world's piggy bank. also today the president singled out the german chancellor, angela merkel, for what is her country's obscene dependence on russia's energy. and for the billions and billions of dollars flowing from germany right into vladimir putin's pockets. meanwhile the mainstream media right here at home in america once again spinning out of control and for months they were just hysterical over the fake news narrative that trump is vladimir putin's puppet. guess what? tonight they are freaking out over donald trump's tough rhetoric against russia. wait a minute, i thought putin had all these horrible things on president trump and he was compromised. we're going to reveal the blatant double standard. important new developments around peter strzok, lisa page and all their friends in the deep state. sit tight, it is time for tonight's important breaking news, london in addition, opening monologue.

for decades the united states has been footing the bill for the safety and the security of the european continent and all while many of our allies across the atlantic failed to live up to their commitments. today in brussels, president trump made it perfectly clear that the u.s. taxpayer is not and no longer going to be europe's atm machine. take a look at this. >> many countries owe us a tremendous amount of money for many years back, where they are delinquent. as far as i'm concerned because the united states has had to pay for them. so if you go back ten or 20 years, you will add it all up. it's massive amounts of money. germany is paying just over 1% whereas the united states in actual numbers is paying 4.2% of a much larger gdp. so that's inappropriate also. we are protecting germany,

france and protecting everybody and we're prayingaying a lot of to protect. this has been going on for decades and this has been brought up by other presidents. i don't think they understood, or they just didn't want to get involved. but i have to bring it up because i think it's very unfair to our country and very unfair to our taxpayers. i think that these countries have to step it up, not over a ten-year period. they have to step it up immediately. >> sean: the president is absolutely right. and even the secretary-general of nato is backing the president up. >> there are many important people on the senate. and we all agree, and the good news is the allies, after years they have started to have started to invest more in defense. after years of trusting, started to add to defense budgets. and last year in defense

spending in that generation. >> why was that? >> it's also because of your leadership. . >> sean: numbers don't lie. so let's do something the main stream media wouldn't do. we're going to break down the numbers. nato was first utilized as a unified military deterrent to the looming soviet threat and to provide intercontinental stability throughout north america. it was formed after two world wars devastated the european continent. nato has a massive budget around $1 trillion. this year the united states contributed over $700 billion to that budget. all right, let's compare that to the rest of our allies. the next highest contribution would come from the united kingdom, and they only contribute 61.5 billion. germany, a mere 51 billion. canada comes in frankly at an

embarrassingly low 21 billion, and the country where nato is headquartered, belgium, they contribute only $5 billion. in fact you the american taxpayer is on the hook for 70% of nato's expenses. that's right. we pay $0.70 of every dollar that nato spends. and while all nato allies agreed to contribute, at least 2% of the country's overall gdp to the nato budget, the u.s. is only -- get this -- only one of four nations to actually follow through on that agreement. and that's standard. the united states contributes 3.5% of our massive gdp to nato's budget. meanwhile it's a much different story among our allies. take a look at your screen. economic powerhouse germany only contributes 1.24%, not 2% and three western european countries. they contribute less than even 1%. so that's right, one country,

our country, we're proud of, the united states of america is now bearing the financial burden of nato and protection of europe and north america while 27 other countries are sadly laughing all the way to the bank. so tonight under the president's leadership, america is putting them on notice and will no longer be the world's piggy bank and our allies must pay their fair share. of course, this includes the de facto leader of the eu, germany, one of europe's wealthiest nations fails to properly fund nato and they're spending billions of dollars in russia in order to support massive energy trade deals. in other words, germany, they will not adequately fund the protection of their own country but they are more than happy to prop up one of nato's so-called biggest threats, the one they keep telling us about, the bad actor with putin in the bad country of russia. and earlier today, the president called out angela merkel for her country's blatant double

standard. it's about time. take a look. >> i think it's very sad when germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with russia where you are supposed to be guarding against russia and germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to russia. i think that's very inappropriate and the former chancellor of germany is the head of the pipeline company that supplies the gas. ultimately germany will have almost 70% of the country controlled by russia with natural gas. so you tell me, is that appropriate, am i complaining about this from the time i got here. it should have never been allowed to happ but germany is totally controlled by russia. they were getting 60 to 70% of their energy from russia and of the new pipeline. i think it's a very bad thing for nato and i don't think it should have happened. >> merkel responded with what was a vague and indirect frankly pathetic statement.

lamenting the country's history under soviet control. how could someone possibly make the case that president trump was compromised by russia or putin? he's urging merkel to get their energy from us. and by the way that's also their independence on russia. this would cripple russia's fragile committee. -- economy. by the way, if russia's if russia's economy falters, vladimir putin is finished. so much for all the media conspiracies and all the lies saying donald trump is compromised by vladimir putin. now imagine how many, just for a second, high paying career jobs could be created in the united states of america if we could get those billions and billions of dollars and we were importing our natural gas to germany, of which by the way we have an abundance of, more than we can use in hundreds of years.

and as you can imagine, president trump's talk in brussels was met by absolute predictable hysteria from the main stream media and of course their best friends in the democratic party. after spending 18 months morning us all, the sky is falling, because of the fake, phony narrative, the witch hunts that donald trump was somehow vladimir putin's puppet. the left is now in a total freak out mode that donald trump today used a lot of anti-russia rhetoric and demanding that countries pay their fair share. and by the way, that's supposed to lead us now to catastrophe. in other words, another typical trumpet hating day in the media with the democratic allies and as always we have all the tape to prove it. take a look. >> it's a ludicrous demand that he is making. >> the eu was meant to get around and away from that toxic nationalism, right? but who's bringing it back? donald trump. america first is toxic

nationalism. >> it is unprecedented language, it's a threat to the alliance and a threat to the democratic liberal postwar world order that harry truman himself signed in to being with the nato declaration 70 years ago. >> frankly it's just infuriating to watch this happen. you cannot imagine any american president all the way back 75 years deciding to become the critic in chief of nato. it's orwellian. it's infuriating to see this happen. >> sean: think of it this way, you have the democratic leaders of the party. their agenda for 2018 is very, very simple. they want their comes back, they want to impeach trump but they don't say it, they want open borders and they don't want judge kavanaugh on the bench or any trump choice. they released a joint statement bashing trump saying, president trump's brazen insults and den graduation of america's most steadfast ally, germany is an

embarrassment. his behavior this morning is a profoundly disturbing signal that the president is more loyal to russian president vladimir putin and to our allies. actually just the opposite is true. why do they want to make russia rich again? so the american taxpayers who are funding the bill for over 70% of nato? liberals are so generous with your money. and why don't they encourage germany to buy our natural gas, like the president is? it's important to remember this is all coming from america's so-called elites, the very same people who think they know best. the same people think giving billions of dollars to iran was wonderful idea going to bring us peace in our time. some people thought bribing

north korea as bill clinton tried in the 1990s will prevent them from creating nuclear weapons. didn't work out that way. the same people cringe at the thought that america is again leading on the world stage and the same people who sadly but routinely look down on you, us, we. the american people. remember you are the irredeemable deplorable's, you're the ones that cling to your god, your guns, your bible, your religion. yeah, same people. take a look. >> a lot of small towns in the midwest. it's gone on for 25 years. nothing to replace it. and they've gone to the clinton administration and the bush administration. and each successive administration has said that somehow these are going to regenerate and they have not. it's not surprising when they

g cling to their guns or religion or antipathy to people not like them. >> to just be grossly general list istic you could put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. the racist, homophobic, citizen phobic, islamaphobic, you name it. that all throughout the election year. nothing changes and they don't have vision to make the country better. in 2016 peter strzok texted that he could actually smell trump voters in a rural virginia walmart. just yesterday you had a msnbc conspiracy anchor throw up his leg, chris matthews, comparing trump supporters, believe it or not, taking it a step further. untamed dogs.

you don't believe me? take a look. >> he's taking the republican party, a party that has spent 60, 70 years for leading the cold war and taking over countries on the border and being tran call and attacking them while saying how trump -- agreeing with trump saying he's doing his best. he's dog training these people. >> that's what they really think of us. these same elites in the media, they are celebrating the widespread anti-trump protest. they are going to be taking place around europe. that's why we're here. and as we discussed last night, they are all forgetting, history does repeat itself. ronald reagan faced the same backlash, same demonstrations before his policy of strength. trust but verify, and that tear down this wall and the evil empire which spurred some of the

most historic diplomatic achievements in world history. president trump could now be poised to follow in those footsteps. we could all hope. we will have more on the president's trip throughout europe throughout the show but we also have breaking news on the domestic front. truncating fbi lawyer lisa page today did not comply with her subpoena and flat out refused to testify before a closed-door session of congress. she sounds a little like hillary. earlier today the house judiciary committee bob goodlatte voiced this very important concern. let's take a look at this. >> it does appear that lisa page apparently has something to hide. she has been in complete defiance of cooperation with the house judiciary committee for seven months now, dating back to the first letter we wrote to the department of justice in december of last year asking for an appearance. there have been two subsequent letters and two subpoenas issued for her appearance and she has

defied all of that. now when she says that she has not had ample time to prepare, that is delied by -- >> sean: the president tweeted out, ex-fbi lawyer lisa page defied the house of representatives and is anyone really surprised together with her lover, fbi agent peter strzok? she worked on the raked witch hunt, perhaps the most tainted and corrupt case ever. the window as fast closing for lisa page, she must either comply with the subpoena, and by the way, if this happened to us we would be in big trouble. or she will face serious legal consequences, including a contempt of congress citation. meanwhile her corrupt fbi boyfriend peter strzok is set to testify in public tomorrow. get ready, this hearing is set to be explosive. and we have the latest on all of

tomorrow on the hot seat if he shows up. but first joining us by phone is the author of "the new york times" best eller "trump's america." broke into two parts the success that the media never talks about and the other about the roadblocks and difficulties and challenges the president will face. i just laid out all the numbers, mr. speaker, 70%. we paid 3.5% of our massive gdp. germany, 1.4%. and they are giving billions of dollars in contracts to vladimir putin. 70% of the lifeblood of their economy and energy is coming from russia and i'm sitting here thinking, isn't it part of nato to prevent any type of a russian milt challenge they might face? why would they give the business to us? >> i was so struck, when you

played the section from hillary, it just reminded me. can you imagine if she had been president and we would have had to listen to that for the last two years. that's a level of pain i can't quite imagine. i just wanted to say. i couldn't just stop thinking about that when you played her quote. and of course the president has put his finger on one of the great falsity hypocrisies of europeans and they love to lecture us when they make money. the german economy and they lecture us about not being tough with putin, but as the president points out, they spend billions every year buying natural gas from russia. the level of hypocrisy is just breathtaking. i think the president deserves a lot of credit, this may have been one of the most honest days of public dialogue about the

future of u.s. and europe that i have ever seen and at every stage he was prepared. and by the way, people should remember as you watch him, he's not reading off of some staff-driven memo, he is talking off the cuff because he actually knows all of this stuff. he has learned and he has thought about it and i thought he was very impressive today. and of course, the europeans, naturally irritated because they've had a great ride here for three or four decades. and it's kind of like having a brother-in-law you loaned your car to for free for 25 years and you want the car back, but i like the car. and the europeans are being asked to grow up and do their fair share. it's amazing in the london times by nine senior generals and admirals, they said trump is exactly right about nato and they list eight major reforms of the british military.

it's the most amazing thing i have seen in a long time and it's a sign he is striking a nerve of people who care about national security and people who care about safety. >> sean: i love how generous the left are with america's taxpayers money. the president doesn't mind paying his fair share but we are paying 70% plus of the bill and why would germany allow itself, if you're going to make billions of dollars in energy deals with vladimir putin, why would you create this vulnerability considering everyone views him as a hostile actor and nato is spending a billion dollars a year, why wouldn't they partner with america considers our vast natural gas resources? the jobs that could be created for americans?

>> well, don't underestimate the degree of resentment. i always remind people when we are celebrating d-day in the land of normandy there are a long generation of russias that are not excited about that. long generation of russians and americans working together through wars and i think there is a comfort zone. a substantial part of germany was in the soviet empire and consists of people who are used to dealing with the russians. >> sean: imagine donald trump if he could persuade germany to do this, it would literally shutdown russia's economy. if i was vladimir putin, i would be very nervous. mr. speaker, thank you. when we come back, as we continue from london, right here in our london studio, steve bannon will join us straight ahead.

>> sean: as i mentioned earlier in the opening monologue, continuing from london tonight. the media cannot stand that president trump actually stood up for america on the world stage. just a reminder, take a quick look. >> okay, fine. this kind of diplomacy looks like hulk smash. >> called germany a captive of russia using the most inflammatory language i could imagine. >> is just an example of how that trump doctrine drives a wedge in the world order when places after world war ii. >> i think he went there determined to poke his allies and to demand not only more spending and insult germany. >> what's going on here, is there any possible reason to believe it's good for the world? >> thanks for having me. live in london. with me is steve bannon. >> live in london.

>> sean: 2:30 in the morning? something like. that today was historic. >> yes. >> sean: it was the right thing to do, pitch perfect. and i don't think anyone ever laid out those numbers. >> look at the meltdown on the mainstream media in the permanent vocal class of both parties. the national security apparatus and also the left. they have said for years how disruptive trump was. think about the speech he made in warsaw last august. he said our number one priority is defense of western civilization and he talked about what a problem russian natural gas would be. for any other president that was so provocative, he goes to nato and has a partner discussion to say, look, this alliance, i'm trying to make it stronger. the problem is what nato has turned into is a protector. you can see it in the numbers. >> sean: it's astonishing. >> it's not just for the american people, it's not just

that germany is only paying 1.2% of their gdp. they are positive in their budget, they have plenty of cash. it's only 1.2%. but if you look at what they are spending it on, it's not on equipment. it's not on readiness or interoperability for nato. it's a 128 german combat aircraft, only seven are prepared to be fully operational. what president trump said today, is that, hey, the key to the trump doctrine, no more managed decline. the elites in the world managed to process to unacceptable outcomes for citizens. and he said, i'm not doing that anymore. i'm going to have a partners discussion. you need to pay the 2%. and instead of waiting until 2024, if you look at this threats today you should be paying today. taken you don't pay, you should be in arrears.

this is total engagement, and, treating people like adults. people on the republican side, they have platitudes. if they are going to make this alliance work, they could step trump is a practical pragmatic businessman. he is saying if we are going to make this alliance work, people are going to have to step up and fully participate as far as the 2% go and it can't be ten years, it's got to be today. i think -- president trump, remember, $30 billion increase when we first got there, just for readiness. and today after these things in the morning, they had the readiness briefings. i believe president trump said, about 4%. he is into the details of what it takes to make this alliance work. but you look on to the mainstream media and it's in full meltdown. >> sean: poland is doing the opposite of germany.

they refuse to be dependent on russian energy sources. when you talk about germany, vladimir putin is a hostile regime in russia is a hostile regime and you put 70% of the life blood in your economy in his hands and give him billions of dollars and nato, in part, is designed to protect against any hostile regime like russia. it defies all common sense and logic especially knowing the depth of american resources with that. >> when you are putting really the control of the entire country, because if you fully do this natural gas we will be at 70%. and look back, what is it, 2009? 2009 when russia put the pressure on ukraine about natural gas? people have seen before russia do -- like i said, he talked about it in warsaw last year and brought it up today. and nobody has gotten in the russian's faces like this.

he called out germany but he also called out russia. >> sean: if you are russia how nervous are you? >> i think they are saying, this guy is the leader of the west, he is laying out methodically what it takes for the west. they aren't going to have an alliance that works militarily. president trump has a great saying, no more games. today he said no more games. we're going to pay for it. and if you are beholden to russia, you are going to put the entire alliance in jeopardy. >> sean: let me switch to the 2018 election. i make the point that the democrat is no vision to work out -- look out for the working man or we say the forgotten men and women of this country. they want to impeach trump and are telling maxine waters and others don't say it. they want open borders, they want to keep obamacare, and they want their crumbs back, they want their tax cut back. i can't think of one positive thing they are offering. but historically midterms are

difficult for the party in the power in the white house. >> it's difficult for the party in power but it is a referendum on president trump. they keep saying this is the first reelect. and they understand impeachment galvanizes the deplorable's and galvanizes the base. president trump is going to be in the balance. >> sean: what happened, they wear it as a badge of honor. >> september 9th is a high holy day in our movement. because you saw in that clip what she thinks of working people. they detest you. they test your values and what you stand for. that's what president trump speaks to the american people. president trump, this is his reelect. you will get the up or down vote. you will get the whole package. >> what about weak republicans? >> just like in 2008 when president trump said talk about

the judges. if you are an establishment republican and you see what president trump represent with tax cuts and where the economy is going -- where the taxes sit, he is reforming the federal judiciary. that's one of the reasons they are having a meltdown right now because the left understands that donald trump is an historic president and he will be in their lives in 30 or 40 years. >> sean: transformation. >> and one of the true historic presidents, one of three or four in american history. he's going to be in the lives of the progressive left for 30 or 40 years. the way he is redoing the federal judiciary to go to people who are originalists. to go to the constitution. i think it will have a dramatic impact. i think kavanaugh is a tremendous pick. >> sean: as we continue from london, we have breaking news. katherine harris joins us with

new develop on anti-trump, peter strok and page. and it's welcome 2:40 in london, a.m. having it problems? ask a business advisor how to get on demand tech support for as little as $15 a month. right now, save $300 on our hp 2-in-1 laptop bundle at office depot officemax whenshe was pregnant,ter failed, in-laws were coming, a little bit of water, it really- it rocked our world. i had no idea the amount of damage that water could do. we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you? they were on it. it was unbelievable. having insurance is something everyone needs,

but having usaa- now that's a privilege. we're the baker's and we're usaa members for life. usaa. get your insurance quote today.

and we got to know the friends of our friends.r the friends. and we found others just like us. and just like that we felt a little less alone. 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.

strzok peter strzok and lisa page and it's almost 2:40 a.m. >> sean: we are reporting live from london and it will be a very big day on capitol hill tomorrow as fbi agent peter strzok will testify publicly before the house oversight and judiciary committees about his anti-trump bias. also tonight new developments concerning his former mistress lisa page and how she, today, defied a congressional subpoena. joining us now is chief intelligence correspondence catherine herridge. a lot of breaking news on this tonight. >> that's right, sean. and good evening. two congressional panels sent this letter laying out three options. lisa page can show up tomorrow at a public hearing with her former lover and give a closed door deposition or face more

legal trouble. the committees are warning tonight they could initiate contempt proceedings as early as friday morning. >> she has been in complete defiance of cooperation with the house judiciary committee and the oversight committee. she should understand that and she should comply with it before she is in contempt of congress which could be friday. >> president trump emphasized page has defied us how subpoena by not showing up today on capitol hill. quote while, but is anyone really surprised?" the fbi's provided a new photo of their client and says that the fbi has some of the blame for failing to provide timely access to page's notes or records. her lawyer tells fox news there is no basis for claims that lisa has anything to hide or is unwilling to testify. then accusing the house panels of bullying tactics. the chairman says they had to

call in federal officers because page and her team played games. >> in addition our attorneys have had communications with her attorneys for nearly a month now about this appearance and her attorney agreed to accept service of the subpoena and turned around and immediately tried to reject it. so that's why we sent the marshals to her house to serve the subpoena. they had to go back three times before they were finally able to reach her. >> of the situation tonight remains highly fluid. a legal source close to peter strzok tells fox news that he still plans to appear tomorrow on capitol hill and his team wants the transcript for his closed-door deposition two weeks ago made public as well. >> sean: catherine herridge in washington. here with reaction, the author -- less than two weeks away. the definitive book on this whole scheme, the russia hoax, the illicit scheme to clear

hillary clinton and frame donald trump. gregg jarrett is also here on site with us in london. fox news reporter sara carter. and peter strzok either appears friday or will be held in contempt. >> that's right. and it's very revealing all the information we have received today about lisa page the fact that the marshals had to go to her house. >> sean: three times. >> she was trying to evade the marshals apparently. they finally got her and now she is just refusing. there's a different set of rules of family for lisa page and peter strzok and hillary clinton, and for all of these players that were involved in this. a different set of rules that we would not be allowed to get away with. i think what's really fascinating here is they could push for contempt but remember even with eric holder, i mean, he was in contempt but nothing ever really happened. the american people were frustrated and, she either comes tomorrow which i think is the best option and testifies with peter strzok, or friday, and, it

would be behind closed doors. >> sean: let's go to the point that sarah is making here. i would no sooner defy a congressional subpoena. it wouldn't work out well for me or for anyone watching this program. it wouldn't work out well if subpoenaed emails were deleted and bleach fit and devices beat up with hammers and sim cards removed. why -- how are they getting away with it? and congress, what are they going to do? they will have no power if they don't enforce this contempt. >> if you and i did this we would be doing push-ups in the hooscow because there would be a bench warrant for our arrest and then a show cause hearing. but this is washington, d.c. and congress has no power to enforce a contempt citation or subpoena they have to go to a federal

judge. it's a different set of operating procedures there. she's claiming she needs to review documents but that's not a valid legal excuse for defying a subpoena. i used to issue subpoenas all the time before witnesses had a chance to look at documents because i wanted them to tell the truth and not be influenced by documents that could form their testimony. then i wanted to use those documents to impeach those documen -- credibility when they lied. so she is reversing the entire process. history shows this, congressional contempt citations go nowhere. >> sean: we don't have a country. we don't have rules, we don't have the equal application. if we have two sets, to a two justice systems here. >> this is what the american people are saying over and over again. this is why people don't believe in robert mueller's special counsel investigation any more. this is why more voices are

speak out and the tide is shifting. but the department of justice, something needs to happen. where are the prosecutors that the attorney general put in charge? where is the president? >> sean: 4 -- 23 hours over a tax case. >> do you agree with that? the president has the power to declassify and amend all of this. >> he can and he can award the department of justice. and the fbi to comply with lawful subpoenas. failure to do so is grounds for termination. you're fired. >> sean: all right, guys, greg's book in less than two weeks. when we come back, the most outrageous conspiracy theory that crazy nbc has now peddled about donald trump and russia. sebastian borgata and daniel hoffman, straight ahead. check out bass pro shops and cabela's

>> sean: the destroy trump left wing media is no longer content with just attacking the president now they are stooping to really insane conspiracier this ryes. what do i mean, take a look. >> does rush i have some kind of leverage over donald trump? writer jonathan chait argues, we have not allowed ourselves to consider the full range of possibilities. he lays out what could be considered the worst-case scenario. donald trump has been a russian intelligence asset since 1987. 1987 is when he went to moscow and he is vetted by the russians, tours moscow, comes back and then start talking about running for president for the first time. then he starts talking for the first time about how our allies are a bunch of freeloaders and we should kick them to the curb.

so it really dove tails with russia foreign policy then and now. that's probably a coincidence but it might not be. >> sean: okay, a russian asset. these bizarre conspiracy theories, that even extends to trump's supreme court nomination. yes, again, back to nbc news tom brokaw. the proud reporter had to delete this tweet saying he conspired to fight judge kavanaugh. he was an asset since 1987, and now we figure it out. today he was basically telling germany don't rely on russia, which if they didn't would tank vladimir putin's economy in a year. >> sean, i can play their game too. so all the people you showed, all the staff members at the

"new york post" -- "new york times," "washington post," cnn, msnbc. i don't have any evidence but i think they are lizard men from another dimension. it might be true, i don't have any evidence. this is journalism today. they are like a cornered rabid rats. they have been selling us lies for so many years that now they can't go any further except to double down. because if they did anything else, they would have to admit to us that they've been lying. so they just invent new stuff. >> sean: daniel hoffman, this is your business, this is what you have done, including russia, working as a cia operative. i don't even know what to say about this, it's basically everything they say, you just can't trust any of it anymore. dr. gorka is right. it's all lies. it's all agenda driven. >> this started with john

brennan who did a great disservice to the national debate on national security by openly speck lating without evidence that vladimir putin could blackmail the president. brennan later retracted his speculation but the damage was done. and brennan should have known, really that he speculates at his own peril. he really framed the debate, and that is what is of greatest concern to me, is absolutely unprofessional and very partisan behavior. >> sean: it's even actually worse than that. and i'm not even joking. tom brokaw spent his life, and i don't think he agrees with sean hannity but people like tim russert, this is not nbc news anymore. this is a whole new entity which is basically innuendo, conspiracy theories, outright lies, fake news and an agenda to destroy the president and delegitimize him and it's been going on for two years. three years, actually.

>> let's do what they do. let take daniel's really important point. john brenan isn't joe six pack. he's the former director of the cia. and he leaves government service and still has his clearances. i don't know why he hasn't been stripped of his clearances. >> sean: by the way, he was a communist, wasn't he? >> he voted for the communist candidate for president and was then hired by the cia. he gets picked up as a contributor on left-wing media and spins what daniel said about the president being vulnerable, then he's basically doing putin's work for him. let me play the game they do with sean. his john brennan getting paid by putin to spin this? i don't have any evidence but it could be. that's how reprehensible. >> sean: anything could be. and daniel hoffman, what the

president was saying in germany is don't rely on putin and be so dependent on him considering we're spending all this money to possibly deal with a hostile russia. thds listens, they are economy is done because that is their economy. so the president doesn't seem to be too beholden to vladimir putin tonight. >> my late father told me to be faithful to the facts, they won't steer you wrong. and i think it's important, stick to the facts that you are talk about tonight. >> sean: all right guys, unbelievable times we are living in, fake news at its worst. coming up, rush limbaugh, amazing strong words for a liberal elite attacking the president for holding our nato allies accountable to pay their fair share. we pay 70-plus cents of every dollar. that's straight ahead.

>> sean: rush limbaugh had some strong and powerful words for the so-called foreign policy experts, liberal pundits who want the u.s. to apologize for everything after they attacked president trump for his tough and fair rhetoric at the nato summit. take a listen. >> there are these people who think they are the gifted special elites, the experts in diplomacy, who really believe that donald trump is going to turn the world against the united states. these people are predominantly liberal and therefore they are laden with guilt. the united states is the problem. we must act like we are the problem. we must acknowledge we are the problem. we must let our, quote, friends and enemies no that yes, we understand that we don't have any moral authority here to

determine right from wrong. and so we must pay for this excess or pay for that. trump has had it. he's not doing it anymore. >> sean: drop off 150 billion in cash and other currencies and cargo planes to mullahs in iran. we will be back tomorrow night. let not your heart be troubled. we'll be back here in helsinki next monday. the news continues. laura ingraham takes over holding down the fort as she always does at 10:00. and owns cable news at 10:00. >> laura: i am sweeping the floor for you. so you get back, everything is really clean. it's all good. hannity, i can't believe you're doing your show tomorrow night from the double-decker bus. am i giving something away? i can't believe you're doing that. it's going to be great. quarter barry driving. it's going to be great. >> sean: nobody knows who you are talking
