the next resolution and check out our podcast see you next sunday on "the next revolution". . >> welcome to the special edition of hannity tonight tonight we are holding the media accountable as i sit down for the entire hour with s brand-new book freedom of the past one - - press looking at the nation's founding with the wind great press tradition and how it became nothing more than an extension of the democratic partyhe and all things left-wing how the media fell so far so fast exposing that all the media mob has

told to smear a newly elected president of the united states and do nothing but divide this country from the russia collusion delusion to covington and ignoring the biggest abuse of powerno corruption scandal in nation's history. we will take it apart piece by piece and expose of a abandon the great tradition of freedom of the press in this country choosing to act as nothing but partisan hacks rather than serious investigators. putting face one - - fake news narratives over facts, smearing anyone and everyone who calls out there lack of ethics or objectivity. the hate trump media mob and the names on the left never thought it would get to this point. never thought president trump would pull off the biggest political upset in the american history to deliver success after success with record after record helping the forgotten man and woman of this country.

>> we better be ready for the fact he could be leaving the republican ticket. [laughter] . >> which republican candidate has the best chance of winning the general election quick. >> right now donald trump. [laughter] [applause] . >> mister trump to answer your call for political honesty i want to say you will not be president. all right? [laughter] [cheers and applause] . >> president obama will go down perhaps as the worst president in the history of the united states at real donald trump. at least i will go down as a president. sean: remember how they reacted the night he won the election? they were giddy and happy

showing he didn't win a single state all through the night the mood started to change and they became completely ouunhinged and hysteria broke out. . >> america is crying tonight i don't know how much america but a significant portion. deliberately crying. this is a sadness. it is a moment of mourning for these people. it is aar moment filled with fear. >> our country will face a serious crisis. buckle up your country needs you. . >> that is an extraordinary thing to say if you served in the marine corps and you don't trust the commander-in-chief. . >> people in the military defend the constitution.n ti>> it was a whitewash against a change in country, a

backlash against part in. >> since that night they have only gotten worse the liberal left wing press refuses to have any a con accountability for their failures and nowow doubling down on a psychotic anti- trump rage there was a small sample. >> is he impersonating hugo chavez? vladimir putin? mimicking set america first. >> donald trump again being a shoebox. >> and with a white supremacist. >>em giving oxygen to racist clearly trying to ignite a civil war in the country. >> there is a sign that says if you are not white you are not welcome. he is>> a racist.

>> hysteria and fake news story after story every minute, every 24 hour day, week and month working in concert with their partners as a mere extension the man exposing all of this is that with a brand-new book host of the number one show what you on fox news channel host of life liberty and levin in a nationally syndicated radioio show and author right there there is a reason i call him the great one. how are you. >> god bless you. >> what i love about your ybooks liberty tyranny, everything you go through such detail, historical detail. thbut before i get to the idiots we play, you do remind us about the press in the past you told the story for example, how they treated

jefferson and the brutal battle between quincy adams and hamilton and that went off some ways but today is very different so why did you want that context of history quick. >> first of all, i want the american people to understand freedom of the pressdo o is thee freedom of the press it doesn't belong to cnn or msnbc free speech, freedom of the firstboth in the amendment for a reason. when this country was started a handful of printers they were great patriots and these were the men who pushed for revolution and the ideas to talk about philosophers. sean: you have these in your past books. >> the printing press there was only a few of them they had to move them because the british were trying to find them and hunt them down thomas

paine wasause h a great pamphler with manyer others and people would be the pamphlets and talk about them at the dinner table and wordr would spread common sense it is estimated 120,000 people in the country of 2 million people by the time it was over half a million had read it with enormous influence. why is that important because back then what did the press do they promoted liberty, individualism representative government, private property rights, low taxes. from that period, soon thereafter the press would be transparent to identify withh a political party or candidate or a cause jefferson and adams were duke it out some people were actually on the payroll but they were all open about

it and that lasted from 1782 through the civil war. no jumping forward the early part of the last century of she progressive movement they devoured the media they wanted to professionalize they said we need to be more objective. but we need to handful of people who understand the country to which all of this will be laundered. that people are stupid they are too busy or too ignorant let us tell them what to think that is their heritage they are social activist. they are taught this in journalism school. it's not i enough to report the facts is not enough to be objective

whatever that means, we have to push an agenda some of them are out of erthe closet and when you challenge them they say you attack freedom of the press and they pretend they are still objective when they are not. survey after survey study after study shows the vast majority off republicans of people do not trust the media and there's a reason for it. democrats and liberals think the media is pretty darn good so if you lose the trust of half the country you are not doing your job to play to a niche even in terms of the thinking of the journalist or the process so they have surrender that. a couple months ago chuck todd on meet the press declared that man-made climate change is a fact and we will not

allow deniers of meet the press. he is more than the host but the chief political guru for entire nbc network. sean: they seem to have a whole news channel that is a conspiracy channel like roswell new mexico every night. >> this is an enormous disservice he doesn't know the first thing about climate change or so-called climate change of meteorologist thousands of them who debate man-made climate change of its if effects or if it existed he has declared we will not allow that on my show so that demonstrates to you he pushes an agenda the whole russia collusion also the notion of news versus propaganda the united states is onto something talking about fake news it was a brilliant

historian university of chicago head of the library of congress who wrote a book on pseudo- events talking about the news to create their own reality by how they choose events and create events and journalists promote themselves through drama with jim acosta creating conditions that is an enormous disservice to the american people russia collusion with the trump campaign doing a half years of fake news which requires more pseudo- new so a pseudo- event i didn't happen 700 former prosecutors writing a letter all liberals with thousands of prosecutors another pseudo- event the subpoena is attended to gather information that

have nothing to do with congressional oversight this impeachment debate absolutely phony is a pseudo- event. there are all types of events that are not covered by news organizations. this is an enormous disservice the first amendment belongs to the american people. but when they say donald trump is like a dictator because he calls the media or any outlet or person the enemy of the peopl people, they have no dea what they are talking about. he points out and questions them on their rhetoric and he ought to be and then acosta in two weeks will say we have never seen anything like this. here is a history lesson. all ofof this is in the book.

sean: this is a very hard interview for me. honestly the amount of work because i've been in your house when you do your books it is an entire two rooms of books and papers and i don't know how you do it. but keep going i just want people tois know how much history is on this. >> you mentioned thomas paine and this history that you go through and the state it is intolerable but continue. >> the media says donald trump is the greatest, threat to freedom e of the press. that is a flat out lie. start quickly. john adams one of the great founders he was a great man.

he and his party put the alien and sedition act that if you criticize that president or his party or the government he has the power to imprison you he imprisoned journalists and shutdown newspapers jefferson was furious. he was a libertarian and runs against that. he wins in a brutal campaign i won't get into the details but he gets rid of the sedition act the media attacks a member utilizes him the party press that supported hamilton was viciously attacked and still say i will not touch it. abraham lincoln shut down approximately 300 newspapers with a slew of journalist among others whatever your

argument is that woodrow wilson one of the great intellectuals who became president almost by accident went further and put the sedition act in place as an extension of the espionage act that they went after journal as they disagreed with and political opponents and put them in jail he also put in place an. extensive censorship ccampaign the great progressive and franklin roosevelt turned the irs on newspapers he disagreed with and kennett was investigated at the direction heof eleanor also kennedy. barack obama. this was recent history.

the fbi. department of justice. "new york times" they went after james rosen of this network. twenty reporters of the associated press. barack obama. donald trump hasn't done any of these things. they call him a threat ishi an outrage. >> this is all in your book. even to bring up in presidential elections and you show this history it is fascinating i do believe the presidents branding a fake news will not be tattooed on their foreheads. book is phenomenal we will continue when we come back and discuss the unhinged coverage of the russia probe and a melt

down the night donald trump was elected as a special edition of hannity continues. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. listen to the doctor. take it seriously.

[music and singing in the background] [music and singing in the background]

live from america's news headquarters a busy agenda for president trump during the visit to japan. the first head of state to meet the new emperor who succeeded his father on may 1st. he is also holding talks with the prime minister trade north korea in the military are all discussed cautioning about the trade negotiations with japan will be after until elections in july. labeled a joint press conference at 1:00 in the morning eastern standard time we will carry that lie for you right here.

severe weather battling parts of the midwest to people were killed and dozens injured by a tornado near oklahoma city missouri arkansas and iowa also hit hard. now back to our hannity special. sean: this is a special edition of hannity during the miller witchhunt one fake news story after another pushing a false narrative and conspiracy theories about the trump and russia collusion we have more investigations including the mueller report saying it did not happen but it went on for almost two years. >> we are about to find out if the new president of our country will do what russia wants. >> there are no shoes on the trump human centipede that are not about russia. >> russia russia russia.

>> the collusion with russia the cloud will hang over him no matter where he stands. >> they aree shocked the noose is tightening. >> mueller is connecting the dots that was intended to hide the truth. >> he is done. no question. he has to know his futures is behind bars. >> a treasonous president we now have to figure out how to deal with this president of the united states wittingly or unwittingly has been compromise compromised. >> basically a russian operative. >> it is sick on multiple occasions fake news reported outright falsehood so that they get the phone records now there is a blocked number now probably that was president trump. >> we begin with a new report from the former campaign chairman paid secret visits to

julian assange at the ecuadorian embassy in london according to the guardian. . >> president trump directed his attorney to lie to congress. sean: the liberal mainstream media mob is nothing more than an extension of all things radical extreme democratic socialist party as they echo every single talking point of the party. the media recently echoed this democratic talking point there was a constitutional crisis standing up to house committee subpoenas. the media are repeated at 400 times. they talk and speak in unison. >> president trump is pursuing a stonewall strategy when it comes to congress. a constitutional crisis but

the president does not care. >> a constitutional crisis. >> we are covering a constitutional crisis. >> headed to a constitutional crisis. >> dangerously close to a constitutional crisis. >> also i call him the great one, before i get to russia collusion i want to go back. 5:15 p.m. 2016 election night i talked to you i also talked to donald trump somebody is drawing straws because he did not win a single state but more importantly when the media coverage started election night they were giddy. you could see it it was in the bag. hillary one. as the night progressed you could see a visible shift in the mood nearly going off the ledge is that not what you are saying in this book? .

>> just like your montage it is groupthink it is a pack mentality. it is ideology going one direction. you cannot find a dime's worth of difference between the democrat party and the media in this country. one of the great problems in 1942 when the media never looks at the media today but they did. >> this is in the book. they had a glaring alarm one of the great fears is a mixture of opinion with the news. i point out there is a study at harvard not right-wing or left-wing but they study the media and the first 100 days of coverage of donald trump they found 90 percent was negative on cnn and nbc over 80 percent and "washington post" nobody was below the mid- 70 percent range except

fox it was 52 / 48 about as evenhanded as you could get. there is no distinction between news andis opinion it's hard to find distinction on the front page of "the new york times" and "washingtonnd post". sean: actually you quoted an article on the book the first time they talked about impeachment was april 2016. how many months after the election? . >> since he was a candidate this idea of a constitutional crisis i spent my life working with the constitution you have individuals in congress who have no comprehension of what they are talking about they get airtime on msnbc and cnn just because congress issues dozens and dozens of subpoenas doesn't mean they are legitimate. in thisil case they are intentionally illegitimate.

they are all personal aimed at citizen trump and violations of separation of power. the president has an obligation not just for himself but to protect the office of the presidency and the branch mister det nadler is the dictator that demagogues these are not objective individuals are people looking for the truth. if they cared how the irs handled presidential tax returns why don't they care about it when barack obama was president? . >> how to talk about the sergeant of arms the attorney general of the united states put them in handcuffs, bring them to the committee when all the attorney general says i will not break the law? 's. >> let me remind these guys in the house when i look at nadler i think tough guy.

[laughter] so to stop those stupid comments there is a lot more manpower and firepower in the house of representatives. >> we go through the two-year mueller investigation a nine-month fbi investigation, the house and tell committee no collision or conspiracy. we went through the bipartisan committee now the mueller report is the same thing and they want to keep going. ninety-nine.9 percent of the people in the media had the hopes of conspiracy theory and mine and a narrative that was based on false information. there were a few of us maybe 25 in the country the point is

they got it wrong. hillary's investigation was rigged they did not report that. >> they didn't get it wrong this is what they wanted to do they don't care aboutr right or wrong. is ideology. >> they reported it wrong purposefully. >> they want to take the president out they decide what is in the news and what is left out that is why for them there is a red line on these issues on the dossier involving spying they dismiss them and the people who speak about in the words this is an ideological i will give you a historical context on chapter six. the holocaust.

6million jews are slaughtered others are slaughtered. "the new york times" barely covered it. barely covered theho holocaust "the new york times" is owned by a jewish family. because he decided he didn't want his newspaper to be seen as a o jewish newspaper but more universal. fdr didn't want to focus on the holocaust so "the new york times" complied they would not accept evidence it was coming it was in european publications they pretended the evidence was not quality evidence people had escaped with first-hand accounts and they ignored it. three scholars in particular how many knows that they self-centered the holocaust ten years before when stalin was starving them to death they had a correspondent inor

moscow who got a pulitzer prize for his reporting covering up the slaughter that stalin had committed. "the new york times" as any other business survive that to be called the paper of record? 's and still have significantly dealt with this to massive genocides in the last century you would not find a hell of a lot about it in the pages at "the new york times" at the time that the media we are talking about. >> you bring it from its history to modern day mark levin freedom of the press amazon bookstores everywhere it is on my website study showing the anti- trump media bias is real and the press never treated obama this way. just the opposite as we continue tonight on hannity.

sean: the book is called unfreedom of the press on the trunk presidency anything we have seen media research center study in the first year as president 90 percent of the coverage on broadcast networks was negative to the trump tministration. compare this to the love the mainstream media show president obama just as he was getting started with presidential politics. take a trip down memory lane. >> how they would surge

looking at an>> american political phenomenon. the bus ride to lebanon new hampshire this week's "newsweek" hot off the press. . >> i don't lift up my leg i don't have that too often. >> and in some ways barack obama is the first president since george washington to be taking a step down into the oval office. a step down? 's community organizer. and to be a phenomenal resource in the history of the press of america in the modern day mark levin i want to ask you this question and for

investigations to conclusions and with that collusion with hillary of the 2016 campaign if they cared about obstruction they may want to report on subpoena e-mails that i care what they cared about brett kavanaugh in high school. but then i ask y you this. richard jewell, zimmerman, they got it wrong in ferguson, they got it wrong in baltimore maryland, this covington kid the only good news to come out of that they will destroy the press urying hundreds of millions of dollars. >> russia collusion. and they got it wrong on

purpose and they knew that. i have a section in the book it's called collusion and abuse of power and character. this is what they accuse the president of collusion and abuse of power. another history lesson. this talk about collusion. but pelosi was dictating withta a leader in syria and bush asked her not to her predecessor colluding with nicaraguan communist and reagan asked him not to. ted kennedy colluding with the soviet union to try to defeat ronald reagan in his second term. the media ignore that. he was still alive no hearings. know nothing. right now john kerry is colluding with the iranians behind the president of the united states. we have real cases of

collusion. what about abuse of power? the last president the irs went after the tea party the media blew it off he blew it off. and then use by franklin roosevelt with jfk he sat down with ben bradley with "newsweek" or "the washington post" that is cde considered iconic. and peter salinger working for kennedy with the fbi files. robert kennedy agreed to wiretaps to mlk. uneven is vice president. the abuses of the irs or the fbi to go after political opponents our president has done none of that but yet you would think he is a dictator.

know how many times they compare him to a nazi or hitler when those words come up to describe the president , you have to be unhinged. speaking of that remember that. they brought in the professor from yale and she and 26 others wrote a book about how the president of united states? they never met him he was mentally unhinged they did the same thing on goldwater in the sixties. i give all the history. this is not news. may push them out there. it is a fake event and then a week worth of news. sean: this is important because over two years they have peddled lies in conspiracy theories when they rigged the primary where the

evidence is overwhelming. then trieded to use the phony russian dossier as a means to spy on the trump campaign and then to rigged that election. and then ironically a phony russian dossier bought and paid for by clinton even "the new york times" suggest now gthat it could very well have been russian information from the beginning. ninety-nine.9 percent of the media did not touch it going after we have that abuse of power. rigged elections. unmasking surveillance of using the constitutional rights of american citizens. in an earlier book you put that together with this book and this experience what are

we? say banana republic? .ay banana republic? >> even though there is examples of this president of russian collusion it is crucial. it focuses on the media. there's a difference between media and a free press. we don't have a free press. not because trump calls them names or the government is interfering because they are not free. that would give us the closest can. it is propaganda and pseudo- events. . >> we will come back and he will explain more about what this book is about and why it's important and how the media works in conjunction with the democratic party. next. -♪ just like any other family

live from america's news headquarters a busy agenda for president trump with his visit to japan holding talks right now with the japanese prime minister. trade and north korea is expected to be talk about but the president cautions the tree trade negotiations will wait until after parliamentary elections happening in july that you leaders will hold a joint conference 1:00 a.m. eastern fox news general bring that live. taking what could be the final ride as the annual motorcycle rally happens in dc organizers claim this is the last because the cost for the permits have risen considerably they would

rather spend the money to help veterans. the president says they will be back next year. now back to our hannity special. sean: now it is brand-new book on freedom of thee press. mark levin digs deep into the dark history of "the new york times" and "washington post" recently tasked with anti- semitism scandal weeks ago the paper of record forced to answer wide to anti- somatic cartoons appeared in the internationalio edition days before even more disturbing how anti-semitism and hatred for israel not only spreading across europe that becoming more mainstream in this new radical extreme democratic socialist party. and.

>> anti- muslim. >> and the questioning of their loyalty to the country i never experienced anti-semitism until the president was elected. >> he has been the target of anti- muslim attacks and then this congresswoman. >> now we continue with the brand new book on freedom of the press i disagree because you think they do what they nge doing i think they are so ideologically blind that they wake up in this psychotic rage to hate the president they think they are right.

they think they are super patriots. >> no question anything that is evil somehow theyy try but this is pernicious. there is a growing tolerance forr anti-semitic bigotry. nancy pelosi would not propose a resolution specific repeatedly to give omar the anti-semite that she is. the history is out there for everyone to see. keith ellison same thing and their closeness with farrakhan in my opinion the same thing. so the media has a high tolerance. so if you said david do they wouldn't have tolerance but these are democrats because they are the first two women house they have given

them past and i want to repeat "the new york times" did not cover the holocaust in any significant way. and when hamas fires missiles into israel somehow "the new york times" always winds up on the side of hamas. there was an unbelievable story last christmas how hezbollah in lebanon was celebrating christmas with the christians. hezbollah is a brutal militia terrorist wing of iran killing w erican soldiers, american marines and "the new york times" puffs them up? then they start attacking the president to turn this into a political issue? and then to come to grips they are destroying themselves. people are going elsewhere.

ceere is new technology. but they won't police themselves and moreover i think the lowest point in americanis history freedom of the press that they have been hijacked by a progressive movement i explain in the book look at the democrats that worked in government and the press look at all the democrats he will have some in w this network that doesn't come anywhere near. >> and i urge everybody i read it cover to cover i learned so much of the history of all of this the great story is the

emergence of new media and the job they are supposed to do we do investigative reporting but we are up front about being opinionated but they pretend to be something they are not. sean: on freedom of the press bookstores everywhere we will have closing moments right after this break. , they find br. like a way to fight cancer by arming a patient's own t-cells... because it's not just about the next breakthrough... it's all the ones after that.
