more than anything, have a great weekend. there's a lot going on and we hope you can get away with it with the people you love. sean hannity is next, see you monday. ♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity" again tonight. we have so much breaking news all over the place virginia, vietnam, the swamp, washington, d.c. where mueller's witch-hunt will soon officially be over and spoiler alert, no collusion. and we learned earlier today there will not be a report next week. maybe someone actually figured out that an extremely important summit about world peace, the denuclearization of the korean peninsula is actually taking place in vietnam next week, not a good time. we, by the way, will be reporting from vietnam all next week. we have more of that in a minute. first, we turn to our top story out of chicago once again.

embattled "empire" actor jussie smollett is still proclaiming his innocence after being formally accused of orchestrating what is an elaborate hate crime hoax and charged with a felony. and smollett posted bond and went directly to the set of "empire." it is reported he told the cast and crew, "i swear to god i did not do this." thisn according to tmz, many of his co-stars are not buying it and they are bleeping furious. and today producers announced that smollett's role on "empire" has been cut from the final two episodes. smollett's lawyers are correct, he must be assumed innocent presumption of innocence. with that said, the evidence presented against him as presented by the chicago police yesterday and others is now overwhelming and, frankly, beginning to border on incontrovertible. according to prosecutors, smollett paid these two brothers

thousands of dollars to stage a homophobic, racist assault against the actor on the streets of chicago using a noose, bleach, all while wearing red maga hats, make america great again hats, and ski masks. both of those individuals have been testifying, both before the grand jury and to the police against smollett. as can you see, right there, thate video, evidence shows thatin pair buying the items used allegedly in the assault.ed surveillance also shows the brothers' arrival at the scene of the incident. phone records indicate smollett called the brothers both before and right after this staged attack and text exchanges spell out how smollett solicited their help and perhaps the most damning and most puzzling piece of evidence, he paid the accomplices with a check. aka jerry springer. now naturally the spin has already started.er smollett allegedly is trying to tell the police he had a an untreated drug problem. texts indicate the actor may

have purchased the party drug known as molly, or ecstasy, from one of the brothers involved in this hoax. so is he saying the drugs made him do it but i didn't do it? except ecstasy or molly has never been known to cause any hate crime hoax. meanwhile, conspiracy tv, msnbc, they are toting a brand new conspiracy, maybe the chicago police are just lying. take a look. >> this police department did in 2016 openly through their union support donald trump and a lot of the case has been focused on the maga statement. to have a police department that hasn't been as cooperative as they have been this round, do not openly give information, do openly lie and withhold information in cases and then to know that they are openly -- have openly supported donald trump in the 2016 election. a lot of activists on the ond ground are saying, wait, what's going on here? how do we believe out of these two suspect people? >> sean: most in the hate media trump mob are coming to grips with the smollett

story the only way they know how: blame trump some more. everything's trump's fault. the dog bites, the bee stings, if you are feeling sad, it's trump's fault. yep, incredibly the hate trump media mob now officially lost any sense of reality, in a complete state of hate trump psychosis. take a look. >> there is a lot of evidence of violent incidents that happened at the maga rallies and i don't want to have jussie smollett distract from that. >> obviously we are not going to put what happened on trump but what we can putar on trump clearly is the heightened panic and angst. >> today, folks that believed jesse as a default position, we feel sadness today. feel stupid today. i feel bad for the people who did not default to that empathy, who think this is a game, who are gloating today. those people have something fundamentally wrong with them. >> sean: are you listening

to this? this hate trump media mob loses it when president trump calls them out for fake news, which they are, but what they are doing is even worse. they continually rush to judgment. it's always guilt by accusation. but only if you are a republican or a conservative. pushing blatantly false stories, conspiracy theories. impugning the character of millions of americans and even teenagers who may wear a maga hat to push their favorite narrative, every second, minute, hour of every 24-hour day, every week, month, year. trump's evil, his supporters are evil. and they are morally superior. this is why fake victimhood is on the rise. now attention-seeking trump haters know that they will garner sympathy almost immediately, and fame, from the media. it advances their narrative all while impugning the character of trump supporter in the process. in the area of trump, we see hoax after hoax after

hoax very little reporting on it. racist graffiti on bailing at eastern michigan university staged by a former student. a woman in new york saying that, oh, a group of pro-trump teens vandalized her car while yelling "trump 2016." turned out she vandalized her own car. yomophobe slurs spray painted on the side of indiana church by the church organ player. look at the side of your screen, fake hate crimes are far too common in this country and time and time again, this media mob and democrats, if it fits their agenda, they buy these stories hook, line, sinker, constantly rushing to judgment. and by the way, they hold up each eventual hoax as a shining example of why trump supporters are horrible people and, remember, we are the smelly walmart people. the irredeemable deplorables.

we cling to god, bibles, guns, and religion. and in doing so they ruin the reputation and in some cases the lives of very good, honorable, decent people. and when the truth is revealed, crickets. they just move onto the next fake news story. no apologies, no accountability, no mea culpa, no nothing. this is what happened in the case of richard jewel. remember, i thought it was so bad in 1996. the media mob there accused him of being the olympic bomber. why? because he lived with his mother. i was on the air at the time. richard was listening. i said, that's the most idiotic theory i have ever heard. turns out he was a hero. but watch this. >> you've got jay leno referring to richard as "unadufus." calling him everything from a villain to a person seeking the limelight and over zealous, fool. >> everybody in the world thinks that he bombed the park because the way he has been portrayed in the media.

>> if they could fool me, someone who is supposed to be educated and experienced, in being fair and objective and solid conclusions, if they could fool me, they fooled a lot of people. >> sean: as bad as it was then, it is so much worse with the media mob today. that attorney you saw is lin wood. he found some justice, thankfully for his client through the civil court system. jewell has since passed away at really young age. i believe, and so does lin wood, the stress of all of that helped contribute to his heart condition.on what the media put him through was pure hell. lin wood now representing covington high school student nicholas sandmann who was the latest victim. a 16-year-old kid now of the mob's politically motivated anti-trump rush to judgment. this mob, their attacks on nicholas sandmann were so insane, many even on fake

news cnn, conspiracy tv msnbc s and elsewhere actually started to talk about the racist scourge of red make america hats. okay. a hat that says make this country great again is a trigger? what's next? not guilty of a crime? maybe somebody suffering from hate trump derangement syndrome? watch this. >> it has become an invitation for confrontation. some referred to the hat as 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 hat carries a nortain connotation that provokes a conditioned reaction for many people, especially for marginalized people. >> think about the symbol of that red hat. when i see the make america great again hat now, chris, i am triggered. >> sean: a red make america great again hat caused me to do these things.

and all these hate trump media blaming a fake hate crime on a hat. actually hate crimes are going totally unreported. where was the media hysteria over attacks where trump supporters were punched, kicked, assaulted, harassed, stocked, all because of their political beliefs? don lemon, have you ever covered that? robin roberts? anyone else in the hate trump t media? you talk about the rise in the far left hatred or obsess about the physical attacks on peoplee merely wearing a red maga hat? why? how many of these people support black lives matter? what do we want, dead cops? when do we want them, now? pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon. it doesn't fit the narrative. those people don't seem to matter if you are att conservative and wear a make america great again hat. it's why we've seen little to no coverage from this vicious assault from earlier this week. trump supporter, activist brutally punched, trying to

videotape the whole thing, over his political beliefs. we don't know everything h that happened but we have three witnesses confirm his story. take a look. >> [bleep]! [bleep]! [bleep]! >> you want to hit me? i will shoot you. [bleep] >> get that out of my face. >> i'm with you. [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] [bleep] >> sean: hayden williams is the kid that just got cold cocked in that particular video. we are letting the facts play out. so far, three eyewitnesses support his story. that he was assaulted. he said it was over a pro-trump sign. mainstream media silence.

no rushing to judgment here. in fact, pretty much no coverage at all. but what else should we expect from a mainstream media that is actively working on behalf of the democraticic party? first, to stop donald trump from ever becoming president and but now they want to impugn the character of millions of americans that support the president. that like the success in our economy. that like the 5.3 million new jobs. we will have a lot more on this coming up. first, a quick update on our "hannity watch" of mueller's witch-hunt. the probe is reportedly now in its final stages. there were earlier reports thisr week that it would wrap up and the report would be delivered to the doj next week, but according to a great new article from kimberley strassel, look at this. uh-oh. democrats are anticipating a huge letdown. with no collusion literally written on the wall at this point, conspiracy theorists, house intel committee chair, biggest liar in congress, and i can prove it, adam schiff,

he is plotting his backup plan. i'm sure the media will i follow suit and it's something sat we have warned about for months. that means nonstop, never ending, endless, frivolous, expensive, pointless investigations on the same topic and president trump and his family and anybody associated with him. they know they will find nothing but it gives democrats a venue tot continue what has been two years of never ending smear and slander and innuendo and conspiracy theories and character assassination of donald trump and anybody that likes him. gives shifty schiff an excuse to do his favorite activity, lying to you the people. the author of the book, "the case against the democratic house impeaching trump" professor, harvard professor alan dershowitz and also fox news correspondent at large geraldo rivera. you know, geraldo, you were so passionate last night and so -- you reminded me of the

police superintendent. i said last night, i thought that was the best news conference i watched in my career. he was so good in describing the impact when people lie. >> first of all, i'm honored to be on with two of my bestt friends you and professor dershowitz. it's an honor. i thought that the police superintendent in chicago, eddie johnson, saved the reputation of the city. the sane voice to the partisans on both sides in troubling issue. i think we cannot lose sight of what this is. this is a cynical, selfish, exploitive young man who shamed the history of true victims of race crimes in this country by his cavalier staging of this event. it's -- it reminds me a lot of o.j. simpson, not as serious because no one died, but the mountain of evidence against him and the bizarre nature of the partisans who are continuing to support him in the face of this

mountain of evidence is similar. there is no logic to it. it's infuriating. smollett is going to get his just desserts. i think that people willll abandon him eventually, but it is pretty clear from the evidence as we know it that this man sought to exploit the racial tensions in this country for his ownis financial gain. it's disgusting. it's lowdown and dirty. i don't think his career -- what i would do were i him is just go to a tropical island, chill out for a couple of years and come back and crawl on your belly and apologize to the american people. >> sean: now going to be tried and there might be a federal aspect of this coming not long after. professor, i'm very consistent. the evidence now mounting and mounting and mounting and the videos now associated with it. w what are your thoughts? >> well, you know, the hard left is perfectly willing to

demand a presumption of innocence, as they should, for smollett. they weren't prepared to give a presumption of innocence for the nonexistent maga hat wearing assailants. they immediately assumed the story was true and immediately convicted these people in the court of public opinion. so what we see is the presumption of innocence, like so many other aspects of our life, is selectively employed by the left against the right, and sometimes by the right against the left. we have to have a presumption of innocence onio both sides and you in your monologue set that out correctly. you said, we have to assume smollett to be innocent but look at the evidence. it is certainly mounting. i believe strongly, because i have been a victim myself of this when somebody deliberately frames somebody and deliberately makes up a false report of anything, that person must go to jail. the integrity of the system demands that deliberate false reporters, not if you made an accident or honest mistake, but deliberate false reporters must go to jail.

you know, the bible says that if you testify falsely against somebody, you get the penalty that that person would have gotten had he been guilty. >> sean: what if the big gun, professor. >> and if you apply that hear, you would see that this guy should get the penalty that the assailants would have gotten if they were real and existed. >> sean: i really am worried though, professor. they really are racist, vile n vicious racists in this country.re there are horrible people that would hurt innocent people because of their sexual orientation. there are -- look at a congresswoman that is a virulent anti-semite that sits on foreign affairs committee still! that's unacceptable to me, professor. >> unbelievable. >> sean: it's outrageous! >> when you hear somebody say that the maga hat is a trigger, that is such a phony excuse.ta to some people, the star of david is a trigger.

to some people, the cross is a trigger. for some people, seeing a gay couple together or interracial couple is a trigger. >> sean: mind your open business. >> we don't accept people who are racist based on triggers they don't like. that's just wrong. >> sean: last word, geraldo. >> what is unforgivable is all the smart people who are blind to the evidence because it fits their political narrative to think that the original fake story was true. they hate trump so much that they are seeking to justify even this absolutely impossible story. >> sean: amazing commentary from both of you. >> today it's used against them and tomorrow it could be used against you. >> sean: you are right. 100 percent. very well said. thank you, both of you. ouen we come back, we are not done. holding the fake news media mob accountable. when we come back, we will play you how they covered the smollett case before and after the evidence started coming out. some cases, crickets. also, the brilliant victor david hanson joins us with

"smollett apologizes to "empire" cast and crew maintains he is innocent."

"maxine waters not ready to believe what the police in chicago are saying." my favorite? conspiracy tv msnbc, a guest says chicago pd may be framing jussie smollett. framing him. what do you think? >> let's start with msnbc. i have two things to say about msnbc.ay al sharpton. this is a guy who made his bones by falsely accusing a white district county da of rape. in the grand jury testimony one of sharpton's cohorts testified they knew from the beginning it was a lie. a security guard for the lawyers and sharpton testified that they all joked and they all knew it was a lie from the very beginning. it's outrageous this guy is even a public figure. what is msnbc going to say about this fraud when they have a fraud sitting right there, pontificating and has a show every week. >> sean: sorry, we rushed to judgment. we were wrong. we apologize to our viewers? start there? >> yeah. at the very least, they should be doing that. let me go to allie beth. larry knows this history and

i watched it all. but reverend al is still a power broker. the bigger part is it's biggerbi than that. this is the media, again and again and again. covington, the media gets it wrong. ferguson, they get it wrong. cambridge police, they get it wrong, in baltimore they get it wrong. they don't vet obama. they don't tell 88 years later how bad he did. they are obsessed with a compulsion that's bordering on psychotic to hate this president and even the russia collusion lies they tell every day. >> right. well, you just heard why in that montage. they are so insulated by their own self-righteousness that they are not able to see reality. they are not able to judge things rightly. they don't even understand the problem or what they did in the beginning, whether it was covington or this, assuming that white people who wear red hats, the red h hats in particular, are inth the wrong no matter what the facts are they sore quick to check their boxes of intersectionality to say these people who support

trump are bad, of course they are going to do that. that they are unwilling to take a step back and say, okay, what is actually true? it's the aoc standard that she has set for the left edat the media have been following for a long time on the left, which is, it's okay if you are not factually correct, as long as you are morally right. and that's what we see them doubling down on today and in the past couple of days, okay, we might not have gotten the facts right at least we are morally right. here is the bigger picture, trump supporters are still lld, and that's what makes me sad. >> sean: larry, i like don lemon, i met him personally, but we disagree politically. he said, i'm going to make smollett eat his lunch. if you are guilty, confess. doesn't sound like they will be eating any lunch any time soon. >> no. sean, there was a host of "people tv" who said, i was praying and hoping this day would never come, meaning the day that jussie smollett is exposed as a fraud.

be a victim, to become virtuous, that they are willing to make something up like this. the empathy i feel isn't toward smollett, who has a lot of issues, but towards of the people who are not going to be taken seriouslyf even though they deserve to be. >> sean: thank you, both. when we come back, really shocking video. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez defending the vile comments made against president trump. also, we have a mini monologue straight ahead and the brilliant victor davis hanson, the coup that never was, and so much more straight ahead. ♪ my experience with usaa has been excellent. they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life.

embracing his socialist utopia. by the way, he might be a moderate compared to some of the other candidates. look at this video from 1985 where he offers praise for the castro regime, and let me remind you castro, was a murdering thug dictator who stole people's land and literally created more poverty than you have ever seen. take a look. >> recall way back in what was it, 1961, they invaded cuba. everybody was totally convinced that castro was the worst guy in the world. all the cuban people are going to rise up in rebellion against fidel castro. they forgot he educated kidsbe gave them healthcare, and totally transformed the tsociety, not to say that fidel castro or cuba are perfect, they are certainly not. but just because ronald reagan dislikes these people does not mean to say that the people in their own nations feel the same way. i >> sean: looks like a former '60s hippy turned professor. sounds like the professor could use "hannity" history

lesson about censorship and economic disaster of cuba and murdering rage of innocent people. it's not just cuba. we are watching this now unfold in realtime as far as left agenda playing thought venezuela where free leads to famine and socialism leads to suffering. they have food shortages and violent, constant chaos. look at this footage. venezuela's maduro is actually stopping aid from reaching his own country. let me ask a question.. well, how many people are fleeing capitalism? not a lot. how many people are fleeing from america to venezuela?me free market capitalism works. the greatest wealth creator inin the history of man. and we see socialism failing time and time again throughout history. joining us now for reaction, author of "the case for trump" he is with the hoover institute, victor davis hanson. one of my favorite writers. you wrote such a great column about the failed coup. i want to ask you about this.

i will give you a litany and then i will let you go. we will redo every home in america. eliminate cars to combustion engine and planes and 70% tax and a wealth tax if you save a few cents after it and guaranteed job with a guaranteed wage, family medical leave. guaranteed vacations. guaranteed retirement. guaranteed college. guaranteed healthy government food. guaranteed housing. guaranteed healthcare, but not private. you can't have that. and even if you are unwilling to work. okay.g you are one of the greatest thinking conservative minds in the country. what does this lead to? >> well, yout' know, in history, it's kind of frightening because we get these left wing revolutionary cycles in antiquity, 18th century france and 19th century europe, where people become entirely -- you use the word unhinged, unhinged from reality.

each revolutionary position, within 24 hours or a week becomes passe. bernie sanders was edgy when he used the word "socialist." socialist is nothe radical enough. that green agenda of al gore seems passe compared to the new green deal. notea too long ago, we were talking about how much of a wall we should build and there was opposition between democrats and republicans and then it was whether you needed a wall. now beto want to tear down the wall. and you mentioned the tax. we went from obama, 39 and then we went to 70 and 90 and then a wealth tax. so no radical position can be radical enough within the next iteration. that's what this democratic stampede over the cliff is in now. t the question is why? you know, sean, what prompted it? >> sean: new york, new jersey, california, illinois, all these heavily regulated, high tax states are losing massive

amounts of their population. less than a decade. they lost a million people in california. and i view that as a preview of coming attractions. because if they do what they are saying they want to do to the country, like andrew cuomo has a $2.3 billion short fall, because he taxed the rich, taxed the rich, and taxed the rich, and the rich are leaving. will they leave the country? >> well, what i said, i used that metaphor before, pied piper stampeding people over the cliff because the logical trajectory is oblivion and nihilism. finally, you are so radical, so detached from reality that you can't have reality. and i kind of blame barack obama because he put a happy face on you didn't build that, now is not the time to profit.ow at some point, you made enough money. the 1%. then after him, it became easier and easier, and we have universities that don't teach people anything other than ideology.

so most of these young kids couldn't find venezuela on the map or they don't know who lenin is. finally, sean, we have 60 million immigrants in this country and we are not assimilating and integrating them in the melting pot traditions. they are not cubans fleeing tyranny in the '60s. not hungarians from the 1950s who knew communism. most of them are coming from impoverished places where their critique was there wasn't enough entitlement.po they come here hoping there will be a centralized redistributionist government and they become fodder for left-wing ideologies. >> sean: you can read victor davis hanson. when we come back, huge major story, why is the news about the lieutenant governor of virginia and the charge of rape? what if the lieutenant governor's name was kavanaugh? and our "villain of the day""

♪ >> sean: while the media seems to have forgotten ralph northam is still governor of virginia despite being caught in a racially charged scandal with medical school yearbook and admitted being in blackface. as for lieutenant governor justin fairfax, virginia house of delegates finally plan hearings into the sexual assault allegations against him with both of his accusers invited to publicly testify. but if you think the hate trump media mob, do you think they are pushing any of these stories out to the public?pu well, use your imagination. according to media research, networks' coverage of the virginia scandals has fallen off a cliff.le joining us now to discuss the media's handling of this fox news contributors tammy bruce and our own lawrence ucjones.

you know, tammy, you were so powerful during the kavanaugh hearings. apparently, one is sexual assault and one is rape. and what i read is that at the time, the accuser actually told real people. >> right. >> sean: and no media coverage is it because it's a democrat? is it because they just didn't read the newspaper and hear about it? why the double standard that's so apparent? >> well, it's apparent on both sides here. the media clearly is the water carriers for the american left and they are not interested in this just like democrats are not interested in issues that impactin women's lives or else we would have successes. they rely on victimhood and problems remaining to run on them. that said, what the republicans and people who care about this country need to do is look at when coverage of issues like this falls off the cliff and it tells you what the democrats are really afraid of.

and it tells you what the trump white house, what the g.o.p. need to focus on, first of all, because it's the right thing to do because these are serious issues, of course, that affect all of our lives. certainly, they affect women but effect the men who lovee those women and your mothers and sisters and daughters and wives and best friends. all americans care about this and the g.o.p. must realize that it's been a fraud that the democrats have been the leaders for minorities in this country and for women and they must take up that mantel because all americans deserve representation and it is only the conservative ideal that will deliver it. >> sean: where are all the "i believe" people? i will tell you where i stand on all of this. i'm still in the "i don't know" category. i don't know. i wasn't there. but, i -- the republicans, for once, in the kavanaugh

hearings, they gave it the seriousness and the proper attention that it deserved. and then it fell apart on its own. i don't know what happened here. but it should be treated the same way and it's not. >> yeah, as it relates to the fairfax case, he has a right to due process. but that's not what the t democrats called for in the beginning. so all we are asking is for a little bit of consistency. if this is the position now that you don't care about these issues, then use that same positioning when there is republicans on the other side. but as it relates to theioli blackface scandals, we know what they did there. i don't understand howrs republicans continue to lose to a party like this. i mean, who didn't search their yearbook? who didn't go after these people? why are they sitting on their tail? >> sean: all the government workers moved to northern virginia. >> yeah, but sean, what about the republican strategists that were running these w campaigns after they painted the republican candidate as a racist. meanwhile, we have two yearbooks, okay, that have people in blackface and we lost to these people?

come on, give me a break. >> sean: totally agree with you. we will give tammy the last word. >> there are lots of lessons to learn here. we have seen that. still, the anti-trump g.o.p. operating to some degree. if the investment in the swamp, the bureaucraticuc monster. that's what we have been led to for the last several generations by the system as we know it. this is why the trump administration is so important and our new view for reformation, overall, for both parties, will only lift this country up. we are just at the beginning ofis it and getting reminders every day why it's so important. >> sean: lawrence, tammy, thank you for being with us. when we come back, "the villain of the day." we'll tell you what happened to a three-time deported illegal immigrant. wait until you see this video. also, i will be in vietnam next week interviewing the president at the historic summit with kim jong un. we will give you the details straight ahead. ♪ with huge savings on the latest gear. like booyah spinner baits
