the backdrop of all the cowardice around us. thank you. investigation into big tax topic, we're going to keep up with every night at 8:00. so join us there. we'll see you. ♪ >> welcome to this special edition of "hannity: the trump effect." i'm jason in tonight for sean. for the hour, we'll highlight why elections matter. since the president's inauguration in january 2017, the trump effect has been in full effect. the media has been called out and deep state corruption has been exposed. and last night, president trump called on the department of justice to confront that deep state corruption head on. take a look. >> our justice department and our fbi at the top of it,

because inside they have incredible people, but our justice department and our fbi have to start doing their job and doing it right and doing it now. [cheers & applause] because people are angry. people are angry. what's happening is a disgrace. and at some point, i wanted to stay out, but at some point if it doesn't straighten out properly, i will get in there if i have to. >> this week we learned more details surrounding a scandal we've been discussing for months all surrendering fisa. no fisa court hearings, none, took place on the warrants by the fbi on former trump campaign associate carter page. of course, we know the basis for

that warrant was steele's dirty dossier. a joining us now to break all this down is author of the russia ho hoax: the elicit scheme. congratulations on the book. i think it's on the new york times best-selling list three weeks in a row. that's got to drive them crazy. that's got to drive them nuts. i want to start with you. you've done huge work. without you, we wouldn't learn a lot of these things. but explain to us in this court filing what you were able to uncover. >> the court transcripts about carter page and general flynn would tell us whether there was a fisa warrant on flynn. carter page they did admit had

taken place. we said, "what about the transcripts?" they initially said there were no transcripts and then they filed something last night. they told me there was never any court hearing on any of the page warrants. there was the initial warrant and then three subsequent renewals. and to me, it's astonishing and disturbing. when you look at these applications, it isn't about carter page. it's about the trump campaign. it's about candidate number one, president trump. three of those warrants were filed while he was either going to be president or when he was president. and these courts are supposed to provide oversight of the process, refused to do so. and of course they were gained by relying on the justice department of the fbi. so you've got the court falling asleep at the wheel here. and of course you've got the underlying corruption of the doj

and fbi. and the leadership at the justice department and fbi are completely out to lunch in terms of highlighting and exposing and holding those accountable, responsible for that corruption. >> so, gregg, what do you glean from this, and the fact that there was no hearing? i mean, it's a one-way court as it is. >> there's only one side, the government's side. and there's nobody there to protect the civil liberties and the privacy rights being intruded on by the federal government. these judges, without asking a single solitary question, simply accepted as truthful the representations of comey, mccabe, rosenstein, and yates. now we know they weren't telling the truth. they were deliberately misrepresenting the facts. they were concealing vital evidence, deceiving the judges and perpetrating a fraud on the

court. this is what's wrong with secret star chambers. and it's got to stop. it's got to be corrected in some form or fashion because the abuse of power now is rampant. and this is what happens. >> well, and the concern is then when you author -- they actually put together that document. if they don't explicitly say or tell the judge that the clinton campaign is funding this, you have to use a decoder ring to try to figure out. and then on top of that for judicial watch to find out that there was no hearing. tell me about weissman. why is this so important? >> bruce ohr has now combimplic the lead lawyer in mueller's special counsel team. he was in on the russia hoax that was framing donald trump for doing things that trump never did. so weissman knew that steele,

who composed the dossier, was not credible. they knew it was uncorroborated, unverified. and they knew that steele had been fired for lying. and yet the fbi and the department of justice and that guy on your screen apparently didn't care. they used it nevertheless to pursue this phony fabricated investigation of donald trump and to wiretap an american citizen without proper evidence. so this now ruins the integrity and the credibility of robert mueller's special counsel. weissman should be fired and the special counsel himself should say, "we apologize. we are terminating it." >>it's not impossible to get it through the courts.

tom, where does judicial watch go next? what other things do you have brewing that the court will need to rule on and what are you pressing for? >> we sued for his text messages. we're getting a stone wall on there. we've already shown that he sent an email to yates of president trump's travel ban order back in the beginning of the administration. now they don't want to turn over any text messages that mention clinton or trump. he's pro-clinton. he attended clinton's party on the election night. it wasn't much of a party. >> i kind of wish that i was there at that party, by the way. >> but now they're hiding his text messages from us. why are they hiding his text messages from us? so we're asking for all of these questions. and you open the hour with talking about the president saying he may have to get involved. the easiest way for him to get

involved is to order the justice department and the fbi to quickly release these records, declassify the rest of those fisa applications so we can figure out what's in them, because they're classified to cover of corruption, not because of national security issues, and get the truth out. that's the best way to combat the deep state at this point. >> they're not only turning them over to the public, which is paying the bills. and you're at the sttip of the spear on this. but they're holding them back from congress who have security clearances. so they have no excuse there, but they continue to hold them back. one of the things that's concerning about this is not just bruce ohr but his wife nelly. where does it go next with nelly? >> she'll be questioned because it's important. laws appear to have been broken here. he omitted in his filings of the department of justice that his wife was getting paid for

composing the dossier that he was peddling. now, that is not only filing a false government report, which is a crime, but it's also the bribery and gratuity statute. this is why he's now squealing on people like andrew weissman. and having weissman heading up this -- that's like a detective who frames a suspect and appointed himself. it was weissman who was involved in framing donald trump. >> i take the number four person at the department of justice and his wife who happens to work for this little organization. well, then they can have some communication. >> and quickly, jason, the dossier was used by mueller. it was signed during mueller's reign. mueller's responsible for the use of the dossier just as much

as these others. >> rosenstein, too, whose autograph is on some of this stuff. and the firing of director comey. it's so incestuous that it needs to continue to be exposed. thanks for the great work. this week, senator lindsey graham weighed in on the abuse of power. >> don't be so fast. i've so evidence or collusion after two years. mueller's looking at it. we'll see what he says. plenty of corruption. not one democrat seems to care. reverse the roles. >> what corruption? what do you mean? >> just imagine a republican party hired an agent to go to russia and get information on hillary clinton and used it to get a warrant. it would be front-page story everywhere. that's corrupt when the fbi agent and the doj lawyer.

it's our job to stop trump. can you imagine what would happen if it was our job to stop clinton? >> he's absolutely right. and congressman jim jordan had this to say? >> why did glen simpson and steele pick him in the first place? steele had direct access to the fbi. he was handing them parts of the dossier. >> good question. >> it seems to me to create weight and credibility behind a document that was completely false. if you can now go tell the press and other people, oh, a senior department of justice official is talking about the dossier, it gives it weight when in fact it was a completely unverified document and a bunch of garbage. >> joining us now is former arkansas governor and fox news contributor mike huckabee. those are some pretty strong

words from lindsey graham. and he's right when he talks about the democrats are nowhere on this issue. how do democrats justify this? and when the tables are turned, what is it they will ultimately end up saying? >> this is so stunning. there are three c's to describe it: corruption, conspiracy, and cover up. while the press should care and should be exposing this because sunlight is the best disinfectant when you have something horribly diseased. but the other part of this is that at the highest levels of the fbi and the department of justice, there was an intentional effort to really stage what is no less than a --

and we ought to see a bunch of people frog marched across federal property, under arrest for what they have done. it is just unbelievable that this level of corruption exists among this many people at the top. >> and somehow, some way, the special is about the trump effect. i can see them only trying to do this against donald trump because he is a disruptive president, he's unconventional and he beat hillary clinton. but what is donald trump to do now? what should the president be doing? >> he's got to have an attorney general who if they cannot personally task someone in washington to root out the corruption, then go out to the justice department and field offices and bring a team

together who will thoroughly investigate and do it fearlessly. empower congress. force the fbi and the justice department to give every one of those documents unredacted to the oversight committees. the more lights that get turned on, the better. we're not dealing with something political here. i hope a lot of americans realize it. you can have a lot of political opinions. you like donald trump, you don't like him. this is whether or not we preserve our system of government where we elect people and empower them. we have something that truly does take us to the end of our republic. that's why it matters. when people have the power to take your liberty away, which law enforcement does. they can put you in jail. they can ruin your life. if those people become corrupt, then your whole system utterly

breaks down. and we're on the verge of that right now. >> they are deadly silent for that. and it's hard not to think that there's some complicity between the media and the democrat machine because they are silent on it. what do you say to democrats who actually want to be honest brokers? >> well, they need to step up and be honest brokers. they could be truly national treasures and heroes, not because they go out and hurt democrats. look, i don't want to hurt the democrats. i want to help our system. i want there to be a judicial system that whether you're the poorest guy and totally unconnected politically or whether you're the most powerful person on earth, that justice will be applied to you exactly the same way. that clearly is not happening now, congressman, and without it, we've all become cynics

toward our own government. >> you're absolutely right, governor. justice is supposed to be blindfold. and my grandfather was a career fbi agent. and i've got to tell you, the integrity of that department and agency, it's got to be restored. we bank on it too much. thank you so much for joining us. really do appreciate it. up next on this special edition of "hannity" the trump effect. stay with us. when you rent from national...

>> welcome back to this special edition of "hannity: the trump effect." president trump slammed the democrat party for obstruction and lack of productive ideas.

take a look. >> today's democrat party is held hostage by left-wing haters, angry mobs, deep state radicals, establishment cronies, and their fake-news allies. the democrats, they call themselves the resistance. that's what they're good at: resisting and obstructing. they are obstructionists. every day they are resisting the will of the american people and trying to undermine the verdict of our democracy, delivered so strongly in 2016, like never before delivered. [applause] the most remarkable thing about the modern democrat party is how truly undemocratic they really have become, right? [applause] the so-called resistance is mad

because their ideas have been rejected by the american people. and we're really rejecting. we're getting rid of those bad ideas one by one so fast. and it is driving them crazy. >> now with just 68 days until the midterms, many democrats are taking a hard left turn. that was on full display during the new york gubernatorial debate. >> new york state is the state that is suing donald trump for ripping babies from the arms of their mothers. new york state is the state that says, we will not cooperate with i.c.e. they're a bunch of thugs." we said, "we will sue them." >>joining me now with reaction,

fox news contributor doug. and kaley. thank you all three of you for joining us. doug, the democratic party, is it in the future of the democratic party to embrace socialism and try to go after law enforcement by calling them thugs? is that the democratic party today? >> i sure hope not. and it's one strand, jason, in the democratic party, but fortunately it hasn't taken over. my advice to democrats is stay in the center, stay positive, and stay constructive. the president is at a record low of disapproval. >> kaley, how do you see the democrats playing it out? because i see them embracing socialism and pushing for the

abolishment of i.c.e. >> yeah, jason, that's exactly right. they have become radical. they are embracing socialism. look at what happened last tuesday in florida. he's calling for abolishing i.c.e. he called for a revolution. we don't want a revolution here in florida, but nevertheless, that's what he's calling for. in arizona, he doesn't just want to abolish i.c.e. he said, let's get rid of the southern border in arizona. these are crazy fringe ideas. they're taking over the democratic party. it's very scary and frightening and certainly will not win on a national state. >> and how do you see the democrats plan? because i see them going further to the the left. >> they do have a platform.

boycott in-n-out burger. demonize the police. so they have a platform. it's clear. i wish they would listen, because i want a really good opposition party that is loyal and cares about the country. but you're not seeing that manifest right now and that's because there's no leadership of the democratic party. they can continue this. it is something americans will reject. we've always rejected it. we also happen to be in a time where americans in a very short period of time have seen what even the democrats give you via barack obama compared to what donald trump has done. world of difference. it is a shocking reformation that americans would not have expected because we were told it was the new normal. and yet now everything has changed. and for the first time we see, what is it, 85% of working americans see the future is brighter and something that is waiting for them. and that is good.

this is remarkable. it is due to policies. it is not an accident. the president needs to reinforce that all the time. >> all i hear is the democrats demonizing the president. it's a resistance movement. it's no, no matter what the president says. and so i can't even name a platform position that the democrats believe in other than those things. >> well, i think you're right. i think it's a fair critique that the democrats do not have an alternate agenda. i've one of them who believes we need, as you and i discussed, comprehensive immigration policy, a compromise to get healthcare done, more health for workers who are lagging behind in pay. and i think tammy is exactly right. we need a strong loyal opposition. my sense is if the democrats do that, and to add to that, jason, getting rid of nancy pelosi and the democratic leadership, we will be not only a stronger party, but we will have at least

one if not two houses. >> but that's not going to happen. >> well, no, i think it could, jason. at least one. >> it could if republicans stay in control of house. you can sit on the back bench and be the minority leader. but if the democrats take the house, that's what they're planning today. >> what is the lesson republicans are planning to win in the midterms >> because of president trump, your life is better off. when you have 85% of blue-collar workers saying their life is better because of this president and his policies. the economy is soaring. president trump is winning for the american worker and the republican party is now the party of blue-collar workers. there is a mold for democrats winning. it is connor lamb. he actively said, i am not opposing donald trump, but i am

opposing my leader nancy pelosi. the key for democrats to win is to support trump, reject nancy pelosi. >> he did not have opposition in that primary. he did not have to face somebody from the left. he was able to situate himself without confronting what the democrats are dealing with. that is not the case for everyone else that's out there. >> she's right about the confrontation from the far left. i actually want to play a clip. this is andrew cuomo, the governor of a state as big as new york going up against his opponent here cynthia nixon. let's play this clip. and tammy, i would like for you to react. >> my opponent lives in the world of fiction. i live in the world of fact. let's just do a few facts. the subway system is owned by new york city. >> it has been controlled by the state since 1965. >> can you stop interrupting?

>> can you stop lying? >> as soon as you do. >> did he really just say that? >> see, that gives you an example of what can happen when you really aren't situated in anything that you can believe in. he just effectively that he's a liar, that he'll stop lying when she stops lying. this is what happens when there's no real opposition, is that suddenly -- and this is the problem the democrats have. and then everything falls apart. i don't want that to happen to republicans. there has to be a real centered position about changing this country and doing it strategically with the president's leadership, getting her back on her feet. >> i've got to go quickly here. i want to get doug and kaley to give one more thought on the abolish i.c.e. movement. you're in arizona tonight. >> i am in arizona. >> i've never seen a party prevail that wants to dismantle and demonize law enforcement. >> i can't understand it.

i would be happy to have connor lamb as our speaker. and i would be happy to do a reform of i.c.e., but we need the southern border and we need strong border control, period. and i say that as an american. >> and you're a minority, doug. this is the message that democrats -- >> but i think i'm right and i think i stand for reasonable policies. >> i think that is a right answer, but unfortunately, that's the position of the republicans, not the democrats. >> good right-thinking democrats feel that way. >> democrats are out there saying, abolish i.c.e. is not a part of our platform. make no mistake, they're telling a -- this is the mainstream position of the democratic party. abolish law enforcement. it's a losing argument. >> it'll be interesting. the midterms are coming up at one of the most important

elections of our lifetime, as hannity likes to say. straight ahead, i'll be tackling the worst of cnn's reporting. coming up, the trump effect continues. you might take something for your heart... or joints. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

>> welcome back to this special edition of "hannity: the trump effect." president trump had tough words for the media. take a look. >> look at how many cameras you have back there. they can't get enough.

but when they start screaming fake news, you see those fake lights go up for a little while. excuse me, we have technical difficulties. then they go back. [cheers & applause] in the studio they go, listen, he's about ready to go, look. ladies and gentlemen, we have technical difficulties. we'll be back. and then it's back. keep going. what they have to put up with, it's not that easy for them either. it's tough to have a network where you're calling them fake news and they're supposed to be proud. that just shows when you get good ratings, you can say anything. that's what happens. get good ratings. the failing new york times, which by the way, if i wasn't here, they would be out of business. the washington post, the new york post, cnn. [booing]

>> vintage trump right there. in the wake of cnn's botched reporting about the 2016 trump tower meeting, two obvious tools of mainstream media bias have emerged, the bias of obsession and omission. the bias of omission was out in full force. >> given the events of today, the likelihood of impeachment certainly went up. >> impeachment. >> impeachment. >> the president is clearly guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. >> impeachment. >> impeachment. >> impeachment. >> comboochlt. >> impeachment. >> impeachment implications are

now in the air. >> impeachment is the word in washington today. >> impeachment. >> impeachment. >> impeachment. >> impeachment. >> there are democrats who say there's enough to impeach. >> impeachment. >> impeachment. >> the president will be removed from office after an impeachment trial. >> we want to talk about impeachment. >> impeachment right now. >> do not talk about impeachment. >> wow. meanwhile, regarding their bias of omission, the media research center points out that networks spent 39 minutes hyping the dubious cnn story but then ignored its downfall on air. >> joining me now, member of the donald j. trump for president 2020 media advisory board.

and attorney and trump advisory board member madison. thank you for joining us here. impeachment. i mean, they cannot get enough of it. and i'll go to you first. what's your take on that? >> well, yes, in this climate of mad politics, perhaps we need a new definition of insanity. it goes something like this. insanity is doing the same thing you did in 2016 and expecting a different outcome. apparently, they don't understand that just hating trump is not a party platform. they're not going to win on it and they need to find something to replace that bizarre thought that has only succeeded really in dividing a nation and polarizing us in ways that media has never done before. and i would personally love to see the media help us come together by presenting both sides of issues in a fair and balanced way and letting audiences decide. >> you've been crisscrossing the

country. what are you hearing people say? are you getting addressed with impeachment questions or is this only with the east coast liberal elites. >> i think people are just amazed that the mainstream media has gone to such lengths to flat-out lie to americans. it's enough for me to keep up with what's going on. i'm sure you're having a crazy time as well. but it's great that president trump is calling out the liberal mainstream media. and the crowd loves it when he brings it up. and people are watching. they know. and it's so hard to determine what is true and what is not. and in a lot of cases, when they do flat-out lie, they don't come out to try to correct what they said to try to address what the real facts or issues are. they have an agenda. the agenda-driven media has an agenda to discredit and to

demonize president trump, his informationin administration. and this is what we're seeing on a daily basis. >> does that seem fair and balanced to you? >> one word, delusional. we have a biased mainstream media and they will stop at nothing. and of course, all of this coupled with a complete lack of recognition for his successes and accomplishments. this is the reality of the mainstream media right now. it's un-american, it's unethical, and frankly the people i talk to across this country are sick of it. >> now, the media has been pounding on impeachment. they have this trump fascination. anything, they just kind of blow it up. but is america buying that? i mean, i don't see anything that the democrats are talking about actually breaking through. i don't see any leadership from the democratic party, and i certainly don't hear anything about their platform. >> right. well, the establishment media

has completely evaded the heartland of america and they really believe that the things they hear at their stuffy cocktail parties are what middle is thinking, and it's not. and i don't understand how they can look at the actual numbers, record-low unemployment of black people, hispanics, women, popularity among minorities doubling since this president was elected. what do they think those people are going to do? do they really think they're going to continue to swallow the lies that the establishment media wants to put out? of course not. and not only will they not continue to believe it, congressman, they're going to be adamant in their defense against it. so there's a trump train that's stronger than ever because of what the establishment media has created. >> now, there's unbelievable progress on not only the foreign affairs but domestically, jobs t economy, jobs, jobs again, the unemployment. i mean, the numbers are just absolutely stunning.

but i don't see the media talking about those at all. >> if you're the average person in the united states and you're not watching fox and some others, the wall street journal and reading about this, how are they even supposed to get a glimpse of what's happening? >> yeah, it is off the rails. and the media is still mad at the fact that president trump is president trump. and so they don't want to talk about his accomplishments. they don't want to talk about our great economy, record-low unemployment, all of the things that the other panelists have mentioned, how well the administration is doing. and, again, this election was about jobs and the economy. president trump looking out for the forgotten men and women. he kept his promise. and that's what we're seeing. but the media, of course, does not want to report it because they have a different agenda. >> now, madison, i see the democrats embracing the resistance movement, a scorched earth, just everything is bad. how do you see it?

what do the democrats really stand for these days >> >> they don't stand for much of anything. and that's exactly why they're losing elections. they're going around talking about, oh, we're going to see a blue wave. no, we're going to see a red wave because they don't stand for anything. it's not what people want to see. people want to hear what these candidates can do for them, not how much they dislike trump. it's really sad that it's like that. cnn is continuing to cover this thinking it's going to help their agenda to destroy the president. it's not helping. the president is more successful than ever, continuing to accomplish everything he said he would and everything they said back in 2016 that he could not do. >> i think the american people see through it. and i appreciate all three of you joining us on this beautiful friday night. so thank you again. up next on this special edition of hannity, the trump effect, we weigh in on the booming economy

under president trump. stay with us. the closer you get to home,

>> welcome back to this special edition of "hannity: the trump effect." president trump talked about the economy during his rally in indiana last night. watch this. >> this is a truly amazing period of time. we have the best economy in the history of our country. [cheers & applause] factories are reopening. jobs are pouring back in to the united states.

[cheers & applause] consumer confidence in our country is at an 18-year high. isn't that beautiful? big thing. and a brand-new poll just shows that 85% of blue-collar workers -- i love blue-collar workers. i actually like them better than white-coll white-collar workers, but probably i won't say it too loud. i love our blue-collar workers, and so do our white-collar workers. but our blue-collar workers believe their lives are headed in the right direction. thanks to republican leadership, our economy is booming like never before. it's never been like that. economic growth last quarter hit a number that nobody thought possible. this number was one, less than

one, and going down to negative, negative territory. we've created nearly 4 million new jobs since the election and lifted almost 4 million americans off food stamps. >> joining now with reaction is republican strategist noel and david webb. thank you all for being here. congressman, you're good at talking about economy. and there are some others that are good about it. but the republicans are usually fairly pathetic about talking not just numbers and statistics but how it relates to individuals. why are the republicans so pathetic in telling a message that is so spectacular? >> we've got a great story to tell. the trump economy is growing faster than anthony wiener deletes his browser history. when you've got more investment,

you need workers. people are happy in their jobs. those are kitchen-table issues that will be at the forefront of of midterm elections. and we have to pose the question, do we want resistance or results? president trump is delivering results and only a republican congress will stay with it. >> what will democrats do to thwart that message? >> that's the point. when you've got president trump saying four million jobs since he took office, what is the message they're running on? we are enjoying a high market. consumer spending is through the roof. it reinforces that the republican brand works. look at the economic side of the republican platform and it works. and he's living proof that these policies are working and it's taking the wind out of the sails for the democrats' message. what are they running on?

>> david, who's joining me in studio, most of the polling shows the tax cuts aren't resonating. people don't know the positive nature of those. why is that? and why again on the communication side are republicans struggling with this? >> separate the polling from the reality. and most people in midterms, as you know, will vote on their issues. republicans are terrible at translating that at times to the kitchen-table issues. when you look at where we are today, labor day weekend, big sale weekend. people are spending. they need to focus on savings. that's the other side of the story. republicans need to go to people and talk to them about what this means to them at a very kitchen-table level. don't just talk about the jobs enough, gdp growth, but bring that down to what it means. you're all invested in the market somehow. you're buying products in the
