children accidentally got away from an emergency landing should feel. they watched the flyby including one of the children who was saved that day. most-watched, most trusted, most grateful you spent the evening with us, good night from washington, i am mike emanuel. 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 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 manipulate. 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, quote: i swear to god i did not do. this 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 out chicago police yesterday and others is now overwhelming and frankly beginning to border on inconvo trert tillable. according to prosecutors smollett paid two brothers thousands of dollars to stage a homophobic 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 police against smollett. as can you see right there that video evidence shows that pair buying the items used allegedly in the assault. 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 smell out how smollett solicited their help and perhaps the most damning and most puzzle ling piece of evidence he paid the accomplices with a check. aka jerry springer. now, naturally the spin has already started. 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 mali 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 mollie has never been known to cause any hate crime hoax. meanwhile, conspiracy tv, msnbc, they are together a brand new conspiracy maybe the chicago police are just lying. >> 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 mishold 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 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 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 beestings if you are feeling sad it's trump's fault. yep, incredibly the hate trump media mob is 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 on maga rallies 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 put on trump clearly is the heightened panic and angst. >> today folks that believed jesse as a default position we feel sadness today. we don't 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 in 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, 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 narrative of trump supporter notice process. 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 vandalized own car. homophobe biblical 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. cling to god bibles gods 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 euna do younadufus. 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.

>> they could fool me, someone who is supposed to be educated and experienced in being fair and octave. and reachin objective and solid conclusions. if they could fool me they fooled a lot of people. >> as bad as it was then it is so much worse with the media mob today. that attorney you saw is lenwood. 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 len wood the stress of all of that helped contribute to his heart condition. the media put him through was pure hell. len 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, msnbc 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 in. this. >> it has become an invitation tor con front station. some are 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 certain 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? done lemon have you ever covered that? robin roberts? anyone else in the hate trump media? you talk about the rise in the far left hatred or obsess about the physical attacks on people merely wearing a red maga hat? why? how many of these people support black lives matter? what do we want dead cops? what 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 a conservative and wear a make america great again hat. 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 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. [bleep] >> i'm with you. >> oh. [bleep] >> sean: hayden williams is the kid that just got coal 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 democratic 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. earlier reports this 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 of 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 follow suit and something that 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 to continue what has been two years of never ending smear and slander and enendo 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 american 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 wanted to be on with two of my best 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 same voice to the partisans on both sides in this 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 will 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 own financial gain. it's disgusting. it's the lowdown and dirty. i don't think his career -- what i would do or 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 aapologize to the american people. >> sean: now going to be tried and might be a federal aspect of this coming not long after. professor, i'm very consistent evidence now mounting and mounting and mounting and the videos now associated with it 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 nonexistence maga hat wearing assailants. they immediately assumed the story was true and immediately convicted these people in the court of public opinion. 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 on 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 the 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. 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 vicious racistst in this country. 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. and unacceptable to me. when you hear somebody say that the maga hat is a trigger. that is such a phony excuse. 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 racist based on triggers they don't like. that's just wrong. >> sean: last word, geraldo. >> all of the smart people 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 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. when we come back, we are not done. hold the fake news media mob accountable. come back play you how they covered the smollett case before and after the evidence started coming out. some cases crickets. also, the brilliant victor

>> sean: as usual the hate trump media has been dishonest and reckless disaster. fox news has a new report out today showing that msnbc, yeah, the conspiracy tv cable, quote, news network, decided not to cover the smollett story as soon as they realized it was a hoax. but before the smollett event was exposed as the hoax, well, the mainstream media and nbc they were giddy to report it as fact. no checking at all. and, of course, all in a rush to blame president trump. and his supporters. take a look.

>> certainly there are many indications of a hate crime here. they are looking for two suspects who were apparently wearing make america great again hats. >> it's coming from the president of the united states. he is dog whistling every day. is hseparating and dividing. >> connect the dots. this is what happens if you are in a position of power and you hate people and you want to cause suffering to them. >> my initial reaction was sadness. >> yeah. >> i wasn't shocked. >> sean: now, however, since authorities have declared the incident a hoax and have now been putting out evidence minute by minute, almost, well the media is singing a very different tune. but, of course, it's still a hate trump madness tune. take a look. >> this is a jacque robinson against homophobia in the black community. a beloved icon and now you

have the fall of an icon. there is an atmosphere and i said last week and it remains true today an atmosphere of menace and fear. >> maga supporters haveers have painted themselves as that. look at footage and this is honest to goodness truth and we have to be bold enough to call that out. >> in the court of public opinion. >> it matters. >> it matters. and he has lost that because of how and not his fault maybe people were, i don't know what they were saying to him, maybe because of his representatives, who knows. >> sean: joining us now with reaction host of relateddable podcast allie beth stuckey and nationally syndicated talk show host with the salem radio network my friend larry elder. look at these other headlines smollett apologizes to empire cast and crew maintains he is innocent. smollett's empire role cut out. 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. al sharpton. this is a guy who made his bones by falsely accusing a white district county da of raping brawley. 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 have 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. apologize to our viewers? start there? >> yeah. at the very least she should be doing that. let me go to allie beth. larry knows his history and i watched it all.

but reverend al is still a power broker. the bigger part is it's bigger than that. this is the media again and again and again covington torn, the media gets it wrong. ferguson they get it wrong. cambridge police they get it wrong and baltimore they get it wrong. they don't vet obama. they don't tell 8 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 ritely. 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 hats in particular are in 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 that 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 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 bad and that's what makes me sad. >> sean: larry, i like don lemon. i like him personally but i don't like him 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.

so she would rather believe that there are two trump supporting goons patrolling the streets of chicago armed with bleach ands intos looking for blaf and bad guys wheat up because she doesn't like trump. she would rather believe that than this guy lied. that is sick. really is. >> sean: and dangerous and the public consumes this garbage and do you know what? this is a -- such a disservice to the american people and they get away with it time after time although their credibility is shot. allie beth? >> absolutely. and you know we hear from the defendant. left. i heard about cnn we should be feeling empathy for him. i'm feeling empathy for victims of actual crimes that are now not going to be believed and seen as quite as credible because now we not only have to be skeptical about the facts that are presented to us at the very beginning with. we also have to wonder about people's motives. are people so inclined to 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 seriously 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 ♪ ♪

>> sean: a lot of news tonight hannity watch on the rise of socialism and this is real in this country. while president trump

continues to deliver victory after victory on the economy, near record low unemployment. especially for demographic groups in this country that have not gotten the chances that they deserve. that means record low unemployment. african-americans, hispanic americans, asian americans, women in the workplace, youth unemployment. look at this rising wage growth. democrats like congresswomen owe kazmierczakio cortez remain defiant and continue to push and what are radical visions that will guarantee poverty higher taxes maybe as high as 70%. mandated climate shaming and apparently even tell you what to eat. not making it up, take a look. >> listen we have to address factory farming. maybe we shouldn't be eating a hamburger for breakfast, lunch and dinner. >> slow down? >> we have to take a look at everything and what we need to realize is that climate change is about every choice that we make in our lives.

you make more than 10 million in one year, your 10 millionth and $1 gets taxed at 70%. and it really comes down to the question isn't 10 million enough? like when does it stop? >> yeah, when is too much? >> right? >> sean: ever notice how generous democrats the new extreme radical democratic socialists are? they are so generous with your money. now, how much, by the way they want to control your life. well, i will give the congresswoman credit. she actually comes out and says how radical she really is and has a lot of supporters even openly now almost 100 congress men and senators. now she wants to tell you what to eat, mandate how much money you are allowed to make before she takes mover of it before she wants 70% top marginal rate. of course, ocasio-cortez one of several new radicals making up this new extreme democratic socialist party. don't forget about michigan congresswoman tlaib who recently called to quote

impeach the mfer, trump. just hours after being sworn into office. take a look. >> when your son looks at you and says momma bullies don't win. baby they don't. we will go in and there we will impeach the [bleep]. [cheers and applause] >> sean: recently got together with congresswoman omar and down played the whole thing and actually embracing their unhinged extremism. go team. >> for a boo boo word. >> basically a word we say every five minutes on our show. >> sent her a text don't worry about it like who cares? >> that guy. like the double standard in that is that that guy never gets in trouble for all of the boo boo words he uses. >> that's right. >> there are a lot of double standards around here? >> i have a beef with almost everyone here because there is a lack of courage. and it seems like we are all radical because we deeply care about the people that we represent. >> sean: there is a lot here

they don't get sure the vulgarity is what it is and pretty outrageous but it was the reckless way they talk about impeachment which is obviously serious. a specific process of which there is no basis for. and, remember, as crazy as the over the top as this behavior is with these new lawmakers, they have real influence. they are part of this hard left turn among 2020 democrats. totally out of balance and out of touch with every day americans. for example, elizabeth warren is now saying that her, quote: wealth tax. now that means a new tax after you have already paid your taxes if you manage to save money, well, it's just a big down payment on the green new deal and free child care. don't forget about champagne socialist bernie sanders now agreed to sign a pledge affirming he will run as a democrat. why shouldn't he? he is the one that first pushed these radical extreme ideas free healthcare, free college, huge entitlements, now the party is just

embracing his socialist utopia. by the way he might be a moderate compared to. so 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 kids gave them healthcare and totally transformed the society not to say that fidel castro or cuba are perfect certainly not. just because ronald reagan dislikes these people does not mean to say that the people in their own nations feel the same way. >> sean: looks like a former 60's 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. 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? free market capitalism works. the greatest wealth creator in 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. you are one of the greatest thinking conservative minds in the country. what does this lead to? >> well, you know, in history it's kind of frightening because we get these left wing revolutionary cycles in an tig equity, 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 yej when he used the word socialist. socialist is not radical enough that green agenda of al gore seems passe compared to the new green deal. not 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. the question is why? you know, sean, what prompteprompted 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 is 2.3 billion-dollar 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 met for before pied piper stampeding people over the cliff because the logical trajectory is -- finally 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. 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 lennon is. finally, sean, we have 60 million immigrants in this country and we are not asimulating and integrating them in the melting pot traditions. they are not cubans fleeing tyranny in the 60's. not hun hungarians from the 1950s who knew communism. most of them are coming from impoverished places where their critique was there wasn't enough entitlement. hoping here there will be centralized redistributionist government and become fodder for left wing ideologies. >> sean: can you read victor davis hanson. when we come back, huge major story, why is the news media sweeping under the rug 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 straight ahead. ♪ ♪

>> sean: while the media seems to have forgotten ralph northam is still governor of virginia despite being caught in racially charged scandal with medical school yearbook and admitted being in black faces a for lieutenant governor justin fairfax 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? well, use your imagination? according to media research networks coverage of the virginia scandals has fallen off a cliff. joining us now to discuss the media's handling of this fox news contributors tammy bruce and our own lawrence jones. 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 impact women's lives or else we would have successes they rely on victimhood and problems remaining to run on them. with that said 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 love 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 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 the black face scandals we know what they did there i don't understand how 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 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. swamp bureaucratic 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 of it and getting reminders every day why it's so important. >> sean: lawrence, tammy thank you for being with us. villain of the day what happened to 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 ♪ ♪ ♪ when we started our business
