the hive mind is everywhere. don't join it. have a great evening, we will see you next and it will be friday. in the meantime, the great sean hannity awaiting from new york city. >> sean: you took a guy away from his family, they just had a baby. i can't believe it. that is the outrage of the week. >> tucker: congratulations. we lured him here with love. >> sean: i am like unrelenting. i don't let stuff go, i really don't. it's terrible. great show. welcome to "hannity." a while back, as we predicted tonight, the psychotic anti-trump rage from the democrats and media mob once again boiling over. i told you last night, at this time tonight that i would have all the examples of the fake, the phony selective, false moral outrage surrounding a completely reasonable statement from president trump about campaign research, foreign government. coming up, we are going to show you exactly what we predicted

and how this new round of breathless hysteria by the media mob is yet another example, a glaring example, of the democratic party's raw hypocrisy. frankly, if the president didn't set them up on purpose, he could not have set them up better. as haters, they took the bait, hook, line, sinker. we will have more on that in a moment. you are going to love the tape we have. first from actual news to cover. stories that the media mob that will never show you because they live, they applied for two years and it doesn't fit their political narrative. this includes a breaking development out of john durham's ongoing investigation into the investigators. at last night, we told you "the new york times" first reporting, he expanded his probe to the cia, and doj officials were reportedly interviewing senior cia officers about their role in the origins of this russia hoax. keep in mind, in a letter to congressman nadler, the ag's

office already confirmed their investigation will be broad in scope. it will cover activities of american and foreign intelligence services, as well as nongovernmental organizations and individuals. this now represents yet another piece of the puzzle. if the evidence that we are finally going to get to the truth, which is the biggest abuse of power in history. but tonight, some disturbing news from john solomon of "the hill." according to a brand-new report, inspector general michael horovitz, the doj's internal watchdog, is doing, apparently, a top to bottom outstanding job of policing the bad conduct. but the doj is doing a poor job, sadly, of punishing its own. this is a serious manager matte. the dea, other officials face virtually zero consequences after being caught abusing their power and committing crimes no

other american citizen whatever get away with. serious misconduct. lying to the government, misuse of government funds for personal gain, and dereliction of duty resulting in nothing more than just a slap on the wrist. and of course, this comes as the doj probe into the origins of the russia witch hunt, of course, is in full gear and is a troubling sign that the deep state will do anything and everything, they will protect their own. we will have more of my opening monologue in just a minute. first, joining is now on the breaking news is "the hill" john solomon. you know, when you have clear, compelling evidence, and a criminal referral with evidence behind it, and you let it go, what message does that send especially in light of the minute detail that mueller used to set perjury traps, et cetera appear to listen, i heard from people on the inside of the justice department concerned by this. in the last 30 days, michael and

his team have competed a half dozen of internal affairs investigations, fbi, dea attorney's office personnel, all who were confirmed to have committed illegal acts or broke the rules. not a single one of them were prosecuted. most of them are still in their jobs, are allowed to retire. here are what we are talking about what they did, and fbi lawyer who shoplifted multiple times from stores. not any store, the marine barracks commissary store where marines get their supplies from. she shoplifted from there. she did not get prosecuted, she got some community service. the u.s. attorney who transported marijuana. i dea supervisor who routed hundreds of thousands of dollars to his son. another fbi supervisor who turned the fbi's official garage to a personal garage to repair his and other cars. all of this costs taxpayers money, all of it violated the law, none of them are prosecuted. why are we talking about this?

we are about to enter into one of the most internal affairs investigations in history. the barr a review of the russia case. if they can't hold people like this accountable it raises the question, what will they do at the end of this russia case? >> sean: one very important question. for my understanding, my sources is inspector general horowitz is probably likely done. i've had some people saying, suggesting strongly they believe that the attorney general already has the inspector general report. another was apparently heading up originally on one of the phis applications. privately, that being the first. but according to my sources, your reporting about kathleen catholics confirmation and warning and admonition to the fbi prior to the first application put that to bed in light of also the closed-door testimony of bruce or that everybody was warned. what are you hearing about the inspector general report on fisa? because that doesn't seem like a

premeditated fraud against the court with unverifiable lies as something anyone can get away with. >> listen, i hear that it is still in flux. mark meadows has said he expects it might be delayed a little bit. that is consistent with my reporting. not a long time, a short while. trying to digest this question, if the fbi claims it configurable for it filed the phi said that he was political, working for the clinton campaign, leaking to the media and having erroneous information, how did the state department do it on october 10th and have the meeting with them? that has raised a new question that has caused doubt into some of the things the fbi and doj said and i think there is some new examination there but i don't think we along from getting that report. i think the summer we will see it. >> sean: john solomon, investigative reporter, great breaking news, thanks for sharing. each night, we continue to monitor the progress out of the doj's probe into the origins of the russia investigation. meanwhile, house intel committee chairman, the cowardly chef who won't come into the program.

he's not interested in coming on this program, he digs a hole deeper and deeper, this week he actually threatened to subpoena the fbi director. for more information on the fbi's nine-month counter intel investigation into, yes, trump-russia collusion. he didn't get the conclusion he wanted. they are trying now so hard to keep their hopes alive. four separate investigations, including the mueller investigation. it can't be any more straightforward and frankly, at this point, they are deranged, desperate and full of rage and frankly, they look pretty stupid. tonight we have another example of this psychotic anti-trump delusion thanks to this pretty interesting sound bite from the president. let's take a look. >> your campaign at this time, foreigners, if russia, if china, gets information on opponents, should they accept it or call the fbi? >> i think you might want to

listen. there's nothing wrong with listening. if somebody called from a country, norway, we have information on your opponent, oh, i think i would want to hear it. >> you want that kind of interference in our elections question works because that's not interference. they have information. i think i would take it. if i thought something was wrong i would go maybe to the fbi. >> sean: if they call me, i will listen but if they do something wrong, i will go to the fbi. of course, listening to any opera research or any reporting, anything you listen and saying you would take it to the fbi, that would not be a crime. as a matter of fact, i suspect, i would like somebody to asking the question, i wonder if he knew exactly what he was doing, the exact way he was asked that question and the answer he gave because of time after time, he knows the media bubble that feels like alka-seltzer in water and he is playing them like a flute. he knew they couldn't resist a story about the trump campaign and foreign intelligence, he

knew how desperate they are to keep the russia hopes alive and as per usual, he was right. frankly, we were right in our production right at the top of the show last night. like moths to a flame, alka-seltzer in water, bubble, fizz, all the energy goes out. the mob erupted and yet another around of false hope. allies, conspiracy theories, and the hopes continue for a short time. take a look a look. to speak of the stark reality, the sad truth is that we have a president of the united states who is not playing on america's team here >> this is a welcome mat. it is a come hither, not just for the russians but for the chinese. not for donald trump or every republican running. >> direct, refutable evidence on tape of criminal intent. [laughs] speak of the founding fathers worst nightmare. >> treasonous behavior. >> amazing, stunning and disturbing. >> i'm waiting for the constitutional conservatives to rise up this morning and say, enough.

>> i am standing here, willing, ready, able to collude! it is unthinkable what he said. it disintegrates at the very core of what our democracy is about. >> i think it is treasonous, compromising, dangerous. >> this is beyond -- really. there is no sense of, what's the word i want to find? any ethical sense that informs his comments. >> if i may foreign intelligence officer today, the message i got from the president's own words yesterday was, it is open season on u.s. political figures in 2020. >> sean: this is phenomenal. the president said if called, unsolicited, if he would listen, if bad, he would call the fbi. here's the point, and the people you just us all, as we predicted, so blinded in their hatred for president trump,

they don't even realize they were set up like bowling pins showing their ridiculous hypocrisy. because they have the very same people smearing the president hour after hour, every hour and second of every day, the same ones that ignored, let's see, for an election interference that was bought and paid for by hillary clinton and the dnc. which brings us into a quick hannity history lesson. let's go back to 2016. in order to skirt campaign finance laws, hillary clinton's campaign, the dnc, yes, they funneled money as a law expense to a law firm called perkins could be. hire the research firm, fusing gps, who then hired a foreign national -- i thought this shouldn't happen -- to collect russian lies, dirt on donald trump. that dirt became known as the christopher steele dossier. and as "the new york times" suggest, likely, it was russian misinformation from the

beginning, full of russian lies, as "the new york times" even admits. content, disinformation, hillary clinton bought, solicited, paid for the russian government lies. and then obama, biden's government, members of the deep state, members of the intel community, members of foreign governments all worked together and it -- let's see -- they spread the russian lies and disinformation throughout the government and leaked to the press -- "the washington post" " david corn, because they wanted the american people to believe the russian lies in an attempt to rig the election. she got away with a rig in the primary. it's like i'm the only person who cares about bernie sanders. no outrage by any of these people. she bought it, she sought it, she paid for it, they spread it,

they tried to use it to impact the election. president, let's go back. it's called, i'll listen, if bad, i will call the fbi. fake news cna, conspiracy tv msnbc, rachel maddow, is great, the moderator that she is, over a real example of seeking, paying for russian disinformation, real collusion, real money, real exchanges, real campaign finance violations, real laws are broken, but the same outrage, never shown. how often do we talk about selective moral outrage? this is yet another clear example. where are the i-believers for the governor? what about the collusion between the ukrainian government and the emails they have, oh, from the dnc to influence the 2016 election and help hillary?

because politico even reported in 2016, the ukrainian government "tried to help hillary clinton and undermined donald trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office, also disseminating documents, including a top trump aid in corruption, and helped clinton's allies research damaging information on trump and his advisors." wait a minute, we are all those people that were just complaining about donald trump saying, if somebody calls him, he would listen? then if it was bad, he would call the fbi and were so outraged. that's not all peer 20 17, interview, "the washington post," former clinton press secretary said, he'd be happy to travel to europe to confirm for an dirt on president trump himself. by the way, that brings us to the cowardly adam schiff. i have my own dossier on schiff, it's called his own words. i offered him three hours on 618 of the best radio stations in the country and an hour on the

number one cable show, thanks to all of you, in america. april 2017, we got the cowardly schiff on tape. this is about -- i can't figure out which is my favorite tape. at this or alec baldwin trying to be a radio talk show host. it was on? oh, the cowardly schiff colluding with russia to get dirt on donald trump. literally it was a hoax but he didn't know it was a hoax. did you share with putin? of course, we share with putin naked picks of trump. he was speaking to a notorious russian prankster. listen. a real collusion. >> she met with trump, one hour, celebrity, also known as a person with a strange reputation. >> olga, how do you spell her name? and what is the nature of the

content? >> pictures of naked trump. >> putin was made aware of the availability of the compromising material? >> yes, of course. >> thank you very much, we will be back in touch with you through our staff to make arrangements to obtain these materials for our committee and for the fbi, and i appreciate you reaching out to us. >> sean: what is the nature of the compromise? naked pictures of donald trump. it does putin know? of course, naked pictures. what an idiot. he is on tape. a senior member of congress more than happy to take a call from an unverified russian off in order to sorts out embarrassing material to impact of the of donald trump. yet, no outrage from the media mob. but trump answer the question, he says, if called, george stephanopoulos, the clinton sycophant, if bad, he will call the fbi.

hypothetical question, the mob goes wild. the hypocrisy reeks. you can't make this up. joining us now, sara carter, judicial watch president, florida congressman, who i was not insulting last night, i was totally messing with. >> you called me a freshman! >> sean: what? >> i'm not a freshman congressman, i've been on your show for three years. you called me overly ambitious. >> sean: i thought it was a call about naked pictures of -- whatever. [laughs] this really happened. i predicted we would be able to play this tape. i just really -- i'm really wondering if trump set him up on purpose. i would love the answer to that question because i think he knows the media that well. >> oh, absolutely he knows the media that well. i don't know if he set him up on purpose. of course, we don't know that. but what's interesting here is how they all jumped, right? not only did the media jump at

this but then you have andy mccabe, who is in such hot water. susan rice, who is being questioned because of all the unmaskings that she had done under the obama administration. clapper and others. former senior officials of the obama administration that are wrapped up in the middle of an investigation that is being conducted now by the department of justice regarding the origin of the investigation into trump and russia, which we now know has been completely debunked by at least four investigations and the mueller report. sean, what we have here, the american people is plain and simple and obvious, it's how desperate these former officials are to still spin this lie and spin it right at the president of the united states because they know the consequences that are coming or going to be harsh. >> sean: let me go to you from the congressional perspective but for the freedom caucus yourself, i was really giving you credit last night, jim jordan, mark meadows,

devin nunes, behind closed doors, you are all asking the right questions. the only thing i am mad ad is you didn't share it with me. the only question i got an answer was was i over the target? >> we know you are over the target and we also know the hypocrisy is so thick you can cut it with a knife. the people you mentioned were literally inviting foreign influence into our election by proliferating lies funded by the dnc and told by russians to destabilize donald trump's candidacy and ultimately his presidency. the hypocrisy continues to the obama administration, where they would actively use the state department to comingled their activities with george soros-backed groups and other countries to influence elections. it was actually judicial watch that had a great expose on this activity, the obama administration engaged in the balkans and we have also seen reporting where the obama administration did this in israel, and of course, you have the hillary clinton campaign and

the dnc actively working with the russians. >> sean: good point. >> of course, but it's always hypocrisy. i think you're right that trump was triggering the media here because the more they talk about foreign influence, the more they look ridiculous because the only candidate that we are certain engaged in a known terminal conspiracy is donald j. term, our president. let's put the same scrutiny on hillary clinton, the dnc, and their allies in the fake news media. >> sean: well said. the amount of work the judicial watch has been doing and slowly getting out information at our request -- what you received last week, the news we had you want to back, now what you are waiting for, what you expect next? >> well, i expect more information from the state department on their connections with christopher steele and the laundering of information from christopher steele into the fbi.

remember, christopher steele wasn't just working with the russians, he was working with the state department with obama against then candidate trump and then president-elect. going back to hillary clinton, she wasn't only getting dirt from russia, she was getting cash from russia. secretary of state, she personally was getting money from the russians through her husband. cash and collusion from russia. that's under investigation, at least in the collusion part, and it needs to be. one of the big lies of mueller's report is no americans knowingly colluded with russians. if that's about the trump dream. not sure about the clinton team. >> sean: last question, did 90 of you see the compromising materials of naked trump? did any of you see that? i'm just asking. [laughter] >> sean: i'm just asking! >> sean. [laughs] >> sean: just asking if you saw it. thank you all. when we come back, is it ran

campaign of escalating tension by iran. >> u.s. officials also suggest at least one of the attacks used a mind similar to one used against a tanker off the united arab emirates last month. and a short time ago, iran categorically denied involvement in the attacks and says it is now ready to secure american passageways and at the u.s. considering military escort through that strategically important strait of hormuz. sean? >> sean: trace gallagher, thanks for that report. the new extreme radical democratic socialist party, they're making one thing clear, no moderates allowed peer to listen to a comrade bernie sanders. everything is free. amazing world we live in. take a listen. >> our job 75 years later is to complete what roosevelt started. and that is why today, i am proposing a 21st century economic bill of rights.

remembered national socialism in germany, soviet socialism, combined for 30 million dead. even the forms we've seen in our own lifetime more recently, nicaragua, cuba, they always end in poverty and a structure in. i just got back from greece and even left-wing greece has just rejected this european election, the socialist party. so the interesting question is, why now, does this eccentric bernie sanders think he has the constituency? i think part of it that there is a trillion in half dollars in student debt, indoctrination in the university. we know we have a new demographic of young people who are not having culture, not buying homes , and 50 million people who were not born in the united states, e here without capital or skills, so bernie feels this is a perfect storm to reintroduce something that has failed throughout history. >> sean: you know, anthony, i

know for a fact what you do -- i don't understand what you do, but you invest money, you take risks. in the process, you build things, you create jobs, factories, manufacturing centers. i know one case in particular we got a 400% return and you took a risk on a bunch of young guys that i happen to know, and lo and behold, it worked. jobs were created, products and goods and services were made, and everybody did better. why is it a better system? >> there were risks taken, you have to reward people for those risks, you have to reward people for their savings. i actually totally love the bernie sanders speech, and i love the direction he is going and because it's going to virtually guarantee the president's victory. victor wrote a great book called "the case for trump" and adjust lays out why the president is here to preserve the american system and to preserve what we all know about capitalism, that

it lifts more people out of poverty than any other system in the world. i love the bernie sanders narrative. let him keep talking like that. it will guarantee a trump a re-electoral success. >> sean: the great barry farber, the pioneers of talk radio, has often says there has never been a country in the history of man that has accumulated more power, abused it less, and i add to that, and used its power for the advancement of the human condition more. not perfect, but the best. thank you both. when we come back, the great one, mark live in. he has a few thoughts about george stephanopoulos and a lot more. later, thought california couldn't get crazier. wow, we will all be stoned. can't make it up. straight-ahead. hey, that baker lady's on tv again. she's not a baker. she wears that apron to sell insurance. nobody knows why. she's the progressive insurance lady.

didn't come to them, they had to manufacture it, they paid for it, of course, contact the fbi, was that the campaign that was leaking to the media? a little bit of history doesn't help, the chinese military poured millions of dollars into declan to reelection. remember that? they were bringing bags of money, serial money into the dnc. does anyone remember the media getting worked up other than the "l.a. times"? i a remember nancy pelosi getting worked up. they didn't even appoint a special counsel to investigate that. that is real interference. and we american people, we are so stupid, we are really supposed to believe that china wants trump to win? so they are going to give trump information on bernie sanders? they would love bernie sanders! he is a kindred spirit. or the russians are really happy with the way trump is treating them? they are going to give him

information to defeat kamala harris? or the iranians or the north koreans? how stupid is that? the rest of america watches this and we laugh and the media. how about the great lion of the senate, ted kennedy, who used surrogates to contact the kgb to try to defeat ronald reagan and his reelection in 1984. and nancy pelosi, who could forget nancy pelosi into thousands have been undermining the bush administration, george w. bush, running off to meet with a genocidal dictator, the father of the current genocidal dictator in syria undermining our national security. who could remember the democrat speaker before that, jim wright, running off to nicaragua to meet ortega, another genocidal communist. i mean, the democrats -- it's a joke. i want to address one of the thing, too. you talked about bernie sanders. two plagiarists in the race, joe biden, who was a well-known plagiarist because he is too dumb to even say things on

his own, but then there is berne has stolen his agenda from joseph stalin from the soviet union in 1936. i want to educate a cnn, msnbc, "the new york times" and all the rest of them. >> sean: mark, wait a second. that's a task impossible but for the benefit of our audience i will let you do it for them. >> okay, chapter ten, 1936 constitution, the soviet union -- sounds really great. article 118: citizens of the ussr have the right to work, that is, the guaranteed right to payment for their work in accordance with its quality and quantity. article 119: citizens of the ussr have the right to rest and leisure. the institution of annual vacations with full paper work as and employees in the provision of a wide network of senatorial, restrooms, and clubs for the a combination of the

working people. article 120, bear with me: citizens of the ussr have the right to made into old age and also in case of sickness and loss of capacity to work. this right is insured by the extensional development of social insurance of workers and employees at state expense, free medical service for the working people, and the provision of a wide network of health resources for the use of the working people. one more. article 121 of stalin's soviet constitution, 1936: this right is insured by universal compulsory elementary education, by education including higher education, being free of charge by the system of state stipends for the overwhelming majority of students and universities and colleges, and it goes on. bernie sanders, why don't you come forward and tell everybodyu are stealing from stalin in 1936. i know i'm not allowed to say this, i know. i know i'm not allowed to say this. but for the media that protects the left, that protects big

government, big, centralized government, the american people can't stand you and i'm going to tell you why. you are destroying freedom of the press. you make a mockery of yourselves. every time donald trump says something, you say it's the end of the world, we've never seen anything like it. we are smarter than you. you operate in a bubble in washington, you operate in a bubble in new york. you have no comprehension of what is going on in the country. that's how you miss a 2016. you pushed this life or two and a half years of russian collusion, you ignored hillary clinton and the dnc. the american people are on to you. even today, even today, the iranians are taking out oil tankers. not ours, but others. the iranians are looking for war and what do we hear from the left in the media? that it's john bolton's fault! and that it's the secretary of state's fault! that it is the president of the united states' fault! you're pathetic, it's a joke. >> sean: that's why we call you the great one peer to see that book behind him, number one

imprison or eat it, but you can possess it. though, if you have it, it's unclear how the state plans to stop you from eating it. this conundrum was brought to us by the third district court of appeals, which has now overturned the 2017 convictions of five men with marijuana in their jail cells. the judge said when california voters legalized marijuana back in 2016, included those behind bars. the court says the prisons will still have the ability to regulate cannabis possession just like cigarettes and alcohol, but now, if inmates are caught with pot it will not add to their prison terms. it's up to the attorney general to decide whether to appeal the case to the california supreme court. the state bureau of prisons says drug use and sales in california prisons remains prohibited, even though experts point out that drug use and sales in california prisons remains rampant. big problem. >> sean: trace gallagher says it, it's real news.

trace, thank you. appreciate it. here with the reaction, sale and radio networks, america first radio host, sebastian gorka and dan bongino, we have not seen you for a while, dr. gorka. you are busy, glad to have you back, we missed you, your thoughts? >> thank you, congratulations on sarah huckabee today, she deserves a break. >> sean: god bless her, how she put up with that crap i don't know. >> this is insane, contraband, this is a controlled substance and now you are allowed to have it if you are a prisoner in california? what is it going to be next, is going to be legalizing shapes, cell phones for the guys inside their cells? senator scott wean of san francisco, sean, he wants to make it so that if you wish to identify as a woman is a male prisoner, you get to be called a woman and you get to be put in

prison with other women. if you are a 300-pound guy called bubba and you want to be called jill and change your identity, they have to call you jail and you get to go to the girls prison. it's california, it's insanity and this is why donald trump is president. >> sean: i'm speechless. dan bongino, you want to top that? >> it's interesting, it's still illegal in prison to smoke the marijuana, but you can't inhale it so you have to go bill clinton style. but it's also illegal to sell it, so i wonder, like, how is that we going to get in there? the weed fairy? how exactly -- the tooth fairy for weed? like, only in california, sean, does any of this make sense. it's a real shame. i go out there often, such a beautiful place. by the way, there are a lot of good conservatives there in l.a., i see them all the time. >> sean: it's a great place,

it's just such a shame it is beg ruined by this lunacy all the time. >> sean: okay, i will let the audience decide. thank you both, good to see you both. more "hannity" after this.

♪ >> sean: before we go tonight, i want to give a special congratulations to sarah sanders for a job well done as the white house press secretary. now, can you imagine you have to go to work every single day and see jim acosta and company, and the raging mob, and every one of those people, all they want to do is get there second in the spotlight, set it up, look good to their audience like they are the toughest, the meanest, the biggest anti-trump person in the world. anyway, she will be leaving her post at the end of the month. sarah served our country well, she will be missed, and she has earned a nice, long vacation. believe it or not, she really

makes pie. she proved that to the fake new. but it is what it is. our promise, we are going to investigate the investigators, we will never be the rage trump media mob and let not your heart be troubled, there she is, laura ingraham. >> laura: that was a nice moment today with the president. i got a little teared up watching it. they were both a little emotional. >> sean: your name was circulated at one point for the job. remember? was that true or fake news? >> laura: i mean, now you're putting me in the hot seat here, hannity. >> sean: oh, excuse me. you're going to call me out because i had a little verbal slip of the other night. >> laura: hannity, wouldn't it be fun if you and i could tag team, for one week in the white house briefing room. just for a week. that would be fun. >> sean: you think -- [laughs] this is a dumb question. maybe we will get special permission
