every night, but winging it completely, stay tuned for the surprise we have for you next. live from new york city awaits sean hannity, there he is! >> sean: such a shock. great show. good to see you as always. welcome to "hannity" ." we start with a fox news alert. we have huge news all over the place tonight. breaking news as we speak, including lera logan's powerful rebukean of the media, a risk tt may cost her a future. and also the lawyers for nicholas sandmann, yesterday filing a $250 million lawsuit against "the washington post." joins us tonight with an exclusive interview but we begin tonight with this breaking news, empire actor jussie smollett has been charged with felony disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report. this is a class four felony punishable by up to three years in prison.

it's a major decision by the prosecutor and it comes as a newly surveillance video, look at this, shows the two brothers that allegedly testify before the grand jury today paid by smollett to stage the assault. and they are purchasing multiple items that were used in what now looks like a hate crime hoax, udincluding glasses, a ski mask, even a red hat. with evidence mounting, smollett is in serious legal jeopardy tonight and he could get far worse. federal charges could also be on the way. but tonight smollett's attorneys, they are pushing back in a statement that says "like any other citizen, mr. smollett enjoys the presumption of innocence, particularly when there has been anic investigatin like this one where information teth true and false has been repeatedly leaked. given the circumstances we intend to conduct a thorough investigation into about an

aggressive defense, which why the lake, we believe in due." process and the resumption of innocence here on the show. but earlier today the attorney for the two brothers that you just saw in that surveillance tape at this message for the embattled actor, take a look. >> what do you say to that? >> i think jussie smollett should come clear because the truth will set him free. >> sean: powerful statement. it will take your life to the ground in chicago. full report coming up in just minutes that a lot more coming up. sadly, what we see with smollett is absolutely nothing new in terms of the media buying a hoax. hook, line, and sinker. they go all the way in. top story tonight, hannity watch into this abusively biased hateful mob media in america. remember not so long ago countless so-called journalists, pundits from all his other outlets threw caution to the wind in order to support jussie smollett and is very flawed story. i was warned early on be careful, we didn't talk about it for a long time, waiting for the

fax to come in. despite the glaring red flags, the narrative to be true. according to the mainstream media all trump supporters are racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, we are all monsters -- their coverage of smollett, it's almost tiny tip of the iceberg in what is a media mob coordinated character assassination that takes placeda so often, they are wrong so often. the fake news is abundant in thisry country.he remember the outrageous despicable treatment in the media of now supreme court justice kavanaugh. the duke lacrosse case. ferguson, missouri, what about baltimore? what about the covington high school kids connect now famed attorney, someone i've known a long time, when would has filed a massive $250 million

lawsuit on behalf of nicholas sandmann, a brutally devastating 38 page lawsuit. you can see it on hannity.com. nynn will be here in just a fewc minutes. newest client go 16-year-old, hundred 16-pound covington c high school student who was absolutely vilified by this w media mob after he was videotaped standing, stayingg, nothing, smiling and trying not to react to all that was going on around him. as you can see, a 64-year-old native american activist drumming right in his face and screaming rather loudly in his face despite showing incredible amazing great restraint and staying calm and doing nothing wrong, nicholas sandmann was repeatedly smeared, slandered, his character assassinated over and over again and again on a national stage. they falsely reported that nicholas sandmann approached the native american activist. it was the other way around.

fosterro reported that nicholas sandmann was a racist and disrespectful and mean-spirited and even physical. all of that is not true. dated all of this based on what was only a short inconclusive 152nd clip which showed absolutely nothing but from print media, hollywood actors and actresses, democrats, cable news, major networks, nonstop absolute complete pile on. fake news, character assassination against a 16-year-old kid that it turns out did nothingg wrong. except maybe where a maga hat. watch this. >> some students harassing and older native american men in the midst of a special ceremony. >> native american advocates say the video speaks for itself. >> he got caught doing something that was incredibly racist andd disrespectful. >> it did sound like the main one who was standing right in the face of the native americane leader is already regretting

some of those actions. >> a lot of people who said build the wall, build the wall said that that was shouted. >> these actions of our students are inconsistent with the teachings of our church. >> the smug look on his face and everyone sees that smug look wants to punch that kid. >> that clement does not look like someone who's appreciated and considerate of this culture in thisf chant going on. >> i find that bleak kid. what a little [bleep]. smirk face. >> sean: m will the media was besmirching the character of this young covington high school student the essentially ignored the group of black hebrew israelites. we have it on tape. we could have found it in 5 minutes that were shouting att the kids, bile racist homophobic comments at him and his classmates. nicholas sandmann never responded under the most difficultt circumstances. the only thing that he was

responsible was encouraging his fellow classmate not to respond. watch and listen. >> a bunch of child [bleep]! just like your donald trump! >> look at all these dusty [bleep] crackers with that racist garbage on. look at these dirty [bleep]. >> sean: all the media had to do was a little bit of work. ask a few questions. they had easy access to the state but the media mob chose to rush to judge, judgment guilt by accusation and vilify and destroy the reputation of a 16 rocket and others. after all, he was wearing a red, let's make america great again hat and attending these pro-life -- a march for life rally. that's a vile, bigoted act. watch this. >> come an invitation for confrontation.

a modern-day version of the confederate battle flag. >> the hat in some ways represents, for many of us, a kind of racial animus. >> the maga had carries up certain connotationn that evokes a condition reaction. especially marginalized people. >> when i see the make america great again hat i am triggered. >> sean: nicholas sandmann's public persecution was widespread. almost all liberaln media outles with "the washington post," they were one of the ones that led the way in sandman's suit affirms that. 38 page brutal takedown. the post bullied an innocent child. these attacks would cost him his life. the post wanted to lead the charge against this child because it was nothing but a pond in a war against their

political adversary. calendar assurance believes and i agree with him, this was a very reasonable case with a really good chance of coming out in favor of nicholas sandmann. i predict others. there was a ton of precedents in this.e what we see with sandman is nothing new. i met lynn ward, who is going to join us in a minute, 1996 before the year i started here at the fox news channel, after the olympics was in atlanta. he was representing richard jewell, 1996 in the immediate aftermath of the olympic bombin bombing. harold and ann considered a hero after he spotted a suspicious bag. he literally single-handedly saved countless lives in the process. within "the atlanta journal-constitution" pointed the finger at richard saying the hero guard may have planted the bomb.

the media mob all piled on in that case too. i? because they said he fit the vision or a profile of a loan bomber, single white man and he lived with his mother. i happen to be on the air at that time in atlanta. i found out later, i didn't know it at the time, richard jewell is actually listening to my radio show. he told me later i was the only person that didn't rush to judgment. because i thought it was ridiculous. well, just because he lives with his mother doesn't make him out to be a terrorist. i learned a valuable lesson and it served me so well ever since. in the end it turned out the media mob was dead wrong. i was right, he was innocent and he was a hero. lynn would likely make him a very rich man. i haven't seen the settlements. sadly i believe he died, it died at age 44 from a heart attack. i guarantee you, they say stress contributes to heart attacks, i

strongly believe in my heart no medical assessment that this so devastated richard that it probably increased his stress load which led to an early deat death. we cover every controversial case. that lesson taught me not to rush to judgment in the duke lacrosse case, ferguson, baltimore, trained on martin , george zimmerman, and even the collusion hoax. the media goes in their direction, they are being proven wrong. the cambridge police acted stupidly even vetting obama come up with the media mob loved and refused to do. i did what they would not two. time after time this mob gets it wrong, again and again in the media and their friends on the left are always happy to smear, slander, besmirch anyone and everyone as long as it fits into their divisive political narrative. this has been the case for decades, but it's never been this bad. in the era of trumpet has become obvious more than ever. let's take a look.

>> is this president trying to impersonate hugo chavez? vladimir putin? >> he's not of sound mind. somebody that clinically look at and say there's something wrong there. >> donald trump again being a schmucker. >> can truly say his words of absolutely bold and watch the process. >> i think you're elevating trump evil. having raised three kids i think is a giant toddler. >> is a possible but he's not concerned with his mistresses because she was one of them? is that possible? >> we can no longer say trump is the bad guy. if you vote for trump, you're the bad guy. >> sean: every second, every minute, every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year since trump is been president. former cbs journalist, incredible bravery, logan summed it up perfectly. >> we get everywhere, difficult

not just in the u.s. but in this country and in this country 85% of journalists are registered democrats. no one's registering democrats whenhe there rarely a republica. so thean facts are on the side f what you just stated. most of them are left -- i always joke that the other 14% were too lazy to register. and there's maybe 1% on the right. >> sean: she went on to say she's probably committing professional suicide without admission. she will join us on the show tonight. before we talkight to attorney,t appears the mueller probus finally wrapping up. sources telling the fox news channel the investigation is "near the end game" and while the department of justice, special counsel's office have declined to comment even fake news cnn, maybe they got something right, their reporting mueller could submit

his findings -- the president had a lot to say the release of the report saying it is all in t the hands of his new attorney general, not him. justice department rules saying he decides. mueller will provide a confidential report to the attorney general, bob barr explaining the decisions reached by the special counsel. next the attorney general will notify the chairs and attorney general of house and senate judiciary committees upon the conclusion of the special counsel's investigation. it is totally in the hands of the i attorney general and his alone to decide what, if any, details can be released in compliance with then law. can control the timing of that overt legitimate investigative or privacy concerns. also remember these things were presented to congress. deputy ag. that was after the start

investigation. made them more accountable to the public and ironically the same people who were outraged at the authority and the release of that report are the same ones wanting to give mueller free reign over president trump. by the way, next week the president and we will be with him, an important summit about the denuclearization of the korean peninsula with t kim jong un. would it not be wholly inappropriatee to actually release the findings when the president is out of the country participating in these high-stakes negotiations on such an important topic? we also know, and i've always suspected, m maybe i will be proven wrong, mueller's team of democrats would love to undermine the president in any way they can. we will have more on this later in the show. huge breaking developing news by sara carter and john solomon. but first, join is now with more on this lawsuit and what is a medium out, i got to know him in

1996, one of the most tenacious attorneys in the country. send me a letter of cease and desist i would beg for an apology. good to see d you. >> good to talk to you, sean. good to have yourr own. >> sean: i meant what i said. i learned a lot. it has served me well. >> let me say this to you, richard jewell always appreciated what you did for him, sean. when the mob went after richard, you were the small voice in the medium that urge caution and said stop, investigate, get the facts, get it right. nobody else did that. he was always grateful for doing that. n.>> sean: i think the stress killed him. i think it's so upset him. >> i know it did. >> sean: i look at nicholas sandmann and i know -- we now know the story. this kid, you couldn't teach somebody to act more perfectly than he did under the circumstances. and it would have taken all of a seven seconds to get the truth out. your reaction?

>> let me tell you what "the washington post" did to nicholas. and other members of the mainstream media. you have the era of social media now, twitter, facebook, thank goodness thatss didn't exist bak in 1996 when richard jewell was under attack. this video goes viral. the mob attacks you would expect that the mainstream media would be responsible enough to pause, recognize they are dealing with a student, investigate, and make sure that they have s the facts accurate. but the story that a they tell s accurate. but they didn't pause when it came to nicholas. because they wanted to rush out and they wanted to jump into the mob, give the mob a megaphone so that they could attack this boy

because he was white, catholic and he wasic wearing a make america great again cat. if nicholas had not purchased that souvenir cap that day at the mall, if he was not wearing it, none of us would know who nicholas sandmann is. he would still be living his life privately, going to school without worrying about how his school and his classmates in the world feel about him. asre a 16-year-old kid, sean. hi's tough being 16. think about what this young boy is having to deal with at age 16 when the entire world saw him the way the media portrayed him as literally the face of evil. it is inexcusable and referenceable conduct by the media. in "the washington post" led the way. >> sean: he also telegraphed my interpretation, i read every word of your 38 page complaint that cnn is not far behind. nbc is not far behind but i've got to imagine if you add up all

media outlets in this day and age and include hollywood actors and actresses, the fame and the power of the pulpit that they have, hundreds, thousands of potential lawsuits here. >> certainly hundreds. the good news is that we have two and a half years to identify and file lawsuits against theif wrongdoers. because he's a minor, nick will turn 18 in july of 2020, we've got two and half years and we've got a lot of work to do because the social media and mainstream mob of bullies was extremely large in number and they were very local. in they mainstream media, like "the washington post" ," gave tm a megaphone to go out and to shout to the world that this young boy had instigated this event, which he did not. wad engaged in behavior swarming around mr. phillips, which he did not.

headlock mr. philip's ability to leave the scene, which he did. and nicholas emma, as you said, he didn't do anything wrong. he exhibited the most respectful behavior of anyone involved in this instance. he was a child. he was accosted by adults, the black hebrew israelites, as your clip showed yelling the most obscene slurs at these boys. homophobic, racist lawyers and then you have this character phillips, and i say character because, let me tell you, i've watched what he said. he doesn't tell the same story twice because he's a liar. and if the media's -- >> sean: will use to him? >> interview after interview to tell his full story and condemn this young innocent boy. >> sean: i assume by those s comments, i think a subtle twitter that you would sue nathan phillips as well. i watch with those kids went through and what these people said to them. they said nothing back.

i don't know if i would have that kind of restraint. it's kind of amazing, they said that he went and confronted nathan phillips, just the opposite. i went through a litany of high-profile cases, lin wood. they get it wrong all the time, this mob. >> you dated both of us talk about 1996. i have spent -- >> sean: you still look the same. >> i've spent the last few years of my career at -- >> sean: used to look the same. >> willoo thank you. both of our hair is a different color now than it was back then. but i've spent the last two decades working in the area of first amendment law trying to protect individuals reputations and seek redress from false attacks. and i f watched it deteriorate over the two decades. it's gotten worse and worse and now it's reached the point where they are tacking falsely a child. think about the change and it's

got to be accountability. >> sean: and i know you don't need the money. i know that this is your passion. i am happy that they hired you. you're the best person in this. thank you. when we come back we will go to chicago. breaking news on the jussie smollett and larry logan exclusively on hannity. doug, doug!

let me start.d i read this at the top of my head, felony disorderly conduct. i know that's legal speak in this case for filing a false police report but we now know, we have the videotape of the two people that say he paid the money buying the very items that were used in the attack in those two people went before a grand jury today before these charges were filed. >> we do have grand jury infighting. in illinois that's required for any case it will be possible prisond term. here he's facing one to three years. but his attorneys have issued a statement i think it is important to say he does have a presumption of innocence. >> sean: absolutely. possibly these two contacted thn whole scheme and claim he did but maybe they were the ones that didim it. i'm not saying that based on what we have so far, that's not looking good for smollett but there is always a possibility that he is innocent so i think

we should take a step back. >> sean: totally agree. >> see how the case proceeds. >> sean: it doesn't look for him, i would tell you that. it didn't come out will that in a second grade joining us from chicago, i fired him last night, but apparently you are taking heat for doing a news report on my show in chicago. i'm sorry.so but you've been great on the show. >> i really appreciate you having me on. >> sean: i do apologize for mispronouncing her name but i think i'm just going to do it on purpose from now on. go ahead.t >> it was goodod tv. but as you said, this does not look good for jussie smollett. chicago police are essentially now accusing him publicly of making the entire thing up and it looks like we can now start to use the word that police asked us not to use before, that being hoax. smollett's legal team and prosecutors met today for several hours at the cook county courthouse trying to work out some kind of an agreement. no agreement was reached and

therefore prosecutors put the grand jury in play. the two brothers testified before the grand jury for two and a half hours. there attorney telling me a plea deal was reached. they were nott granted immunity because they did nothing wrong. meanwhile, the evidence seems to mount that these two brothers did stage this event.nt with got surveillance video. fox 32 obtaining surveillance video from a beauty supply store showing these two men walking into the store buying a red hat, ski masks, and the date of his video was january 28th. that is the day before the incident is reported. so the brothers are cooperating with police saying smollett put them up to it. smollett says they're the ones lying. the brothers attorney says smollett is the one not telling the truth, take a listen. >> smollett says they are lying, what you say to that? >> i think jussie smollett should t come clear because the truth will set him free. >> that was me asking her that

question. let's give the statement from jussie smollett's legal team which we got about an hour ago. like any other citizen mr. smollett enjoys the perception of innocence, particularly when there has been an investigation like this, one more information both true and false has been repeatedly leaked. given the circumstances we intend to conduct a thorough investigation and amount and aggressive defense. as your other guests that, a class four felony, that could be 1-3 years in prison. jussie smollett is due in court tomorrow at 1:30. the question is will he show up? if he doesn't there will be a warrant issued for his arrest. sean. >> sean: reporting in chicago, thank you for that report. we bring back in rebecca rose woodland and dan bongino. this is really sounding more and more the testimony is true. i do want to give to process but is not looking good, dan bongino. is this a hate crime hoax in the making?? and consider all the examples i mentioned with lin wood. the media, it sounds similar. they want to believe the worst

about donald trump and his supporters. >> the list of hate crime hoaxes goes on and on. if that doesn't mean racism and hate crimes don't exist, it just means the ones that have garnered significant media attention over the last years, large swaths of them happen to be hoaxes. that's justt a fact. and listen, i agree with your guest and you, due process, of course. this is probably the only network that actually covered this case fairly from the start and didn't jump the gun. but remember, due process doesn't mean we can't think about this critically like reasonable human beings. that's what i think you, i had a lot of other people to from the start when there were questions. for questions. i was a street cop in east new yorkop brooklyn. i used to walk a post from 6:00 at night to 2:00 in the morning. you see a couple of guys on that relatively empty street an industrial area at 2:00 in s the morning with a bleach a news, wearing maga hats with no one else around, it may not be

reasonable suspicion to pullns them over but it's probably worth giving them an extra look. nobody thought this was unusual, the story that some people were just carrying around bleach in the middle of the night to randomly attack an actor? >> sean: for degree weather in a storm. >> critical thinking. >> sean: at rebecca, i think what i did in the zimmerman case, actually went there and talked to the people. in the duke lacrosse case i talked to some of the parents and some of the kids. when the rest of them -- with the mob to judgment, they are wrong so often. no wonder they start getting held accountable? you look at the smaller case, you look at these covington kids, there's a lot of similarities here. >> a lot of similarity. i remember i was here for the duke case with your, i was here for martin. >> sean: you are on the rightha side with me. >> what's unfortunate here is if jesse did this, why?

why are you playing into such hate, such negativity when there such an opportunity now to bring typeople together. >> sean: but the media has a narrative and the reason the media jumps and they don't look. it would have taken them six seconds to find out the truth and the nicholas sandmann case. not even a phone call did these peopleno make. there gonna lose. lin wood is going to destroy every one of these big media outlets. i guarantee it, it's a slam-dunk and they will all pay. >> sure. and in the situation we should have that --ur , there is no ren why everyone has to jump r to judgment with the maga had. it is ridiculous.he >> sean: last seconds.ds >> listen, you asked who's goiny to will the media accountable, it's already happening. the court of public opinion is all that matters and very few people trust the media anymore like they used 250 or 60 years

ago. >> sean: thank you both. when we come back, huge breaking news on the deep state. get this, turns out the fbi's top lawyer wanted to charge hillary clinton. sara carter, john solomon have the latest and also later tonight, former cbs reporter lara logan risking her career reposing media bias, that straight ahead. ♪ ♪ ♪ book now and enjoy free unlimited open bar, free airfare and more. norwegian cruise line. feel free.

barr on whatever release or no release of mueller's findings. tonight we do have major developments. hannity watch on the deep state. unelected bureaucrats caught trying to undermine president trump. first to prevent him from getting elected and then to undermine his election. and undo the will of the american people. and their blind loyalty to james comey. with our reports tonight, sara carter and john solomon reporting former top fbi lawyer james baker believed the clintons use of a private server was in fact enough to secure an indictment and charge her for violations under the espionage act and i will add the leading subpoenaed emails is nothing. baker suspiciously changes his mind after discussions with comey. of course a clinton lover, another senior officials. disgraced fbi official fbi official andrew mccabe ramped up his efforts to undermine the president after comey was fired

in may 27. don't forget, maybe we will tape the president. maybe we will invoke the 20 fifth amendment. now, nels john solomon with his report, also about a populist on my possible third dirty dossier. bruce ohr's wife kelly. she produced a very john solomon from the hill and fox news contributor sara carter, investigative reporter. sarah, let's start with the fbi issue first. both you and john report this. baker originally believed what we all know is a fact. clinton committed a felony that was a violation of the espionage act and i believe obstruction of justice after they rigged investigations. >> yet. what's so fascinating about baker's testimony is that he's going through this t back-and-forth john ratcliffe out of texas was questioning him about this. and he specifically states that he absolutely believed from the beginning when he went through

this binder, he was basically given a binder with the classified emails, with documents. he was appalled. he didn't see any other way around it but to charge hillary clinton. and he continued to battle according to hisclto own testimy with people in his office along with comey as well. he had these arguments going back and forth until the very end. and it wasn't until the very end that he changed his mind. but more importantly when ratcliffe questions him again. and he says do you still believe it is appalling what happened, the mishandling of these classified documents, which baker himself describes highly classified documents, he said yes. he basically said yes, even to this day he believes it was appalling. i think the question is why at the very end did he jump in change? >> sean: the road and exoneration in may. strzok who said point-and-shoot win 100 million to zero, he conducted the interview. the fix was in. if she got away with stuff no

other american citizen could ever get away with. and then the dossier, the russian lies. ironically never investigated. lying to the daca court and then using it to sabotage and unseat a duly elected president. john solomon, the report on this as well as the third dossier written by, produced by nellie ohr, bruce's wife. >> emily struck today. early in the show he talked about how much the story shifted on covington, how much it shifted on the attack in chicago. think about how much these two stories on how we clinton and donald trump have shifted from f with the media originally reported, what we now know today. for a long time the fbi said everyone was in unanimity about not charging her clinton, now we find out at the very last minute james baker was disagreeing with the decision. and when we started we were told at the trump investigation had to be open because it was actionable foreign intelligence suggesting he was compromised. now wegg know that intelligence nothing more than christopher steele and sidney

blumenthal. and now the wife of bruce ohr, nellie ohr after lin wood christopher steele sent to the fbi report that bruce ohr told the congress' wife put her own dossier together, put on a memory stick, give it to him and he routed it to the fbi despite the fact that there are conflict of interest rules that say justice officials should never get involved in cases where their spouse has a financial interest. it's remarkable. the story has evolved so much. >> sean: and we only have a small sampling of these t interviews. we don't, there isn't so much information. you both agree with me, ask a question, that in fact when everything comes out, there's at least probably a dozen people that should be charged here he met sarah. >> yes, absolutely, if not more. >> sean: if not more, how many more >> i would say definitely between 12 and 20. >> sean: and john? >> yep, the house republicans rooted all thesese interviews,

and you say you need to sources. so far gone. why if you tell the truth like them to believe you just pretty much committed careertt suicide? >> it's obvious. you get targeted. and it's the same group of people. they are already starting to again now and i expected it. i was joking that i'm raised for fire and fury because i know they're going to come after me again and i'm not the only one. when the same people come after you. one of them, this project. if this was tweeting today hannity, watch out about lara logan. and there's more coming. michael calderon, who was at "the huffington post." i can literally give you the script now. i can tell you with the players are. joe hagan, brian smeltzer. if the same people all the time and they are all saying the same thing. they come off after cheryl atkinson, they come after you, to come after me. if there are any independent voices out there, if there anyde journalists were not beating the same drum and giving the sameme

talking points then we pay the price. and you know it's interesting, they can't take down the substance of what you're saying. they can't go after the things that matter. so they smear you personally.th they go after your integrity. they go after your reputation as a person and as a professional. and they will stop at nothing. so i'm not the only one. and i'm just, i'm done, right? i'm tired of it. andd they don't get to write my story anymore. they don't get to speak for me. i want to say loudly and clearly to anybody who's listening, i am not, nobody owns me. i'm not owned by the left, not owned by the right. >> sean: i don't even know your politicsr are. >> because it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter. i'm not going to lie to you and pretend like i have no biases, that's just not true. that's a part of who we are as human beings. we all have opinions on things. i don't pretend i don't have opinions. my point about the sources is that i've worked with so many great journalists.

i can tell you many of their names, sara carter is one of them. period i have so much respect for her work. and there are sowo many people t 60 minutes and in many other places who have such great respect for. and because i didn't inventbe this. journalists have always needed true independent first-hand sources. that's always been the standard that we work too. it's not me, i'm not alone. i'm not the only one. and people know. people know that we slip. people know that windows are no longerer your standards that yo, that raises questions if you're honest. >> sean:.. i would love -- i met your husband, why don't know if he is going to like i'm saying this was really an americanai hero. and i know you guys are raising her kids. i mean that sincerely. i hope my bosses at fox find a place for you. i know that you want to still do

great work and independent and i think would be a service if you did. i hope that you telling truth doesn't end up in career suicide for you. we need the fair, honest investigative voices. >> it's funny. iha heard one of your people on fox saying it sounded like a job interview to me.g and i'm going on to put a whole lot of words in my mouth that actually i never said. it's just be honest. look at the interview, hear what i said and then listen to him and you can see that i didn't say that. i don't need to use -- i don't need to fall back into dishonesty, and by the way, it's not a job interview, right? i don't know if they would want to hire me because nobody's going to only. >> sean: i've got to run. you keep up the good work.
