evening. get your seat belt ready, sean hannity, ladies and gentlemen, standing by in new york to take the reins. >> sean: and i'm not defending al franken, he is weird, he is a psycho. he chased me down the hall once. >> tucker: i don't like him at all. [laughs] i don't like him at all. but you have to stand up -- >> sean: the presumption of innocence and due process. but he is a creep. i'm just saying. >> tucker: he sure is a creep. i agree with that 100%. >> sean: i have watched him, i have seen it, he is unhinged, he is off his rocker. all right, tucker, great show as always. welcome to "hannity" as we kick off what will be an exciting busy news week and probably a week of a boomerang. we start, though, tonight with a fox news alert. because at this hour, the hostile iranian regime is on a mission to destabilize the free world. today they claimed that they had

a secret cia spy ring. the president and the president and we will have a full report throughout the evening tonight. but first, liars, conspiracy theorist, and con artist in the democratic party and the media, they are breathlessly hysterically anxiously awaiting robert mueller's public testimony. this wednesday starting at 8:30 a.m., it will be right here on the fox news channel, robert mueller will appear before two house committee is led by two of the biggest political hacks, two of the biggest liars in the united states congress. of course, the one, the cowardly adam schiff, the one that we have on tape actually conspiring and trying to get information from the russians, and jerry nadler, as you know, schiff and nadler, two hyperpartisan conspiracy theorists that only pander to the wing of the democratic party, which appears to be the whole party.

and they are the biggest spokespeople in the media mob, and their friends go to bat for them every day. and two plus years, no evidence. they've been telling people again and again and again, you, we, the american people, that our duly elected president was a russian ops spreading lies, a hoax, conspiring with russia. pushing one conspiracy theory, one hoax right after another. one lie after another. promising one smoking gun after another. we now have four separate investigations, all of them, including the mueller report, have determined that trump-russia collusion never happened. let's go to the mueller report itself. it concluded, "the investigation did not establish that members of the trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the russian government in its election interference activities." they did not conspire. that is the fourth separate investigation. now they want an investigation number five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten. no collusion. no conspiracy. no obstruction. no underlying crime, and this

president and his entire administration, everybody that was asked, cooperated. that's right, the president gave answers. everybody in the white house, appearing before one committee after another. going to the special counsel one after another. all encouraged, by the way, all campaign, all white house staff to testify, and they all did. not a single instance of executive privilege was ever applied during the special counsel probe. oh, how is that obstructionist? even the white house counsel don mcgahn, this, to me, is insane. even he was allowed to testify for over 30 hours, and independent counsel, former independent counsel ken starr called this administration's cooperation unprecedented. and it was. did the president express frustration about to the ongoing witch hunt that he was found innocent of for a fourth time? yes, he did. i don't blame him. did he complain about the time the administration was forced to dedicate to an absolute

conspiracy theory, a hoax and lies? yes, i think any normal person would feel that way. but he never fired robert mueller or acting ag rod rosenstein, he denies impede the investigation, he assisted in the investigation, and ask those around him to assist in the investigation. anyway they could. and general barr, the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, the office of legal counsel, they looked at it, they decided pretty much in minutes, no obstruction of justice either. robert mueller himself admitted, no obstruction charges were recommended by his office of special counsel, because it was not sufficient evidence of obstruction. just because you cannot exonerate does not mean that there is evidence of obstruction. that was made without any consideration with regards to the legal president, doj policy, constitutional issues, regarding whether or not a sitting president can be charged with a

crime. over the weekend, the cowardly liar schiff, nadler, they were living in an alternative universe, alternate reality. once again lying for political gain. and once again generating false hope, expectations that donald trump will be taken out of the white house in handcuffs, or impeached, or worse. take a look. >> it has been clear from bob mueller that he felt, and the justice department feels bound by this opposite legal counsel opinion that you can't indict a sitting president. but he is essentially unindicted coconspirator and has been identified as individual one. >> the report presents substantial evidence that the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. and we have to present, or let mueller present those facts to the american people and see where we go from there. the administration must be held accountable. and no president can be above the law. >> sean: no, he is not an unindicted coconspirator, and no, if you read the constitution, nothing that you

are talking about represents high crimes or misdemeanors. none of it. and for democrats, mueller's testimony is not about seeking the truth. they don't want justice. they want another bite of the apple. the first four times that failed. they want it right. maybe they believe their own lives at this point. instead as the "l.a. times" pointed out, the last ditch smear effort against donald trump is politically motivated. and it is. after all, the special counsel's report has been out there for months. mueller said his writing will speak for itself. that will be his introduction, his opening comments on wednesday. he said that any testimony would merely echo what was in the report. in other words, we will learn nothing. in two short days, we will learn if robert mueller is a man of his word or if you will flip-flop and fail and have the attorney general barr bail him out again. because a 9.5 minute press conference was a disaster for him. either way, republicans, they have an amazing opportunity to seek answers on some very

important issues and questions. tomorrow night on this program, i am going to give a tutorial to those in congress on the republican side that will have an opportunity to question mr. mueller. i will give you my questions, and also the way that i would ask them and the follow-ups that should be immediate. you only have 5 minutes. you have to make it count. i will explain how i would do it if you're interested. when we come back tonight, later in the program, sara carter, gregg jarrett will break down every question that robert mueller must be asked by the republicans at the hearing. and they will not appear in the report, so they cannot say it is page whatever, it is right there, he did not answer those questions. we would get more to this in the opening monologue in a second. joining us with a preview of wednesday's upcoming showdown on capitol hill, we have -- oh, he is the man that knows washington better than anyone, our own chad pergram, you ought to publish the hitchhikers guides to whatever the issue is. you can make a lot of money, you don't need to work for fox anymore.

>> i don't know about that, sean, but thank you very much, i appreciate it. the testimony of special counsel robert mueller is about to devour capitol hill beginning at 8:30 wednesday with an opening statement by mueller. we are told that there are still negotiations about the terms of engagement for the hearing. new tonight, a letter from the justice department to mueller. the doj tells mueller, "any testimony must remain in the boundaries of your public report, because matters of the scope of the investigation were covered by executive privilege." the justice department tells mueller "should you testify they expect him to not go beyond the report." doj is holding mueller to what he said in may and will not stray from the report. we are learning about the lines of questioning, the judiciary committee will probe five areas of what democrats see as obstruction to fire mueller himself and the dangling of pardons.

the intelligence committee will ask about what the president may have known ahead of time regarding wiki links emails, and a wrinkle tonight, the president announcing a bipartisan deal on spending numbers and the raise of the debt ceiling. conservatives are speculative about this report. i spoke with rand paul of kentucky, he says that the package will be "a huge mistake." president trump has reversed himself on spending agreements before. i asked a senior republican senator the following, could the president renege if he is incensed by what he sees at the mueller hearing? the reply, "blank yeah, but you can't govern the place as if there are no democrats." sean. >> sean: all right, chad, i agree with you. i don't see why you could have a continuing resolution and not spend another penny. i would like to see the pending plan or the president even suggested a nickel plan. we have to start living within our means at some point. >> there are some republican senators who are opposed to that. i spoke to a couple that do not want an interim spending deal. keep in mind that this sets the overall spending numbers. it does not keep the government open, that's a separate fight in september.

>> sean: well said, i think you will make a fortune, hitchhikers guide to everything by chad. one of the key questions that mueller must answer surrounds the man that he appointed as "the new york times" said to be his pitbull, top deputy. you see that guy? andrew weissmann. we, on this program, have gone over his track record and it is unbelievably atrocious. sidney powell, who is now general flynn's attorney, wrote a book, called "license to lie," in it, weissmann is known for withholding as a prosecutor exculpatory evidence, which means that he cares more about the wins and losses, not about the truth. not about justice and is willing to basically cheat to win a case. that is not a good thing to have in a prosecutor. that is dangerous for anybody. in fact, two of the high-profile convictions, they were overturned because of prosecutorial misconduct. one case, he sent four merrill executives to prison for a year before that verdict was

overturned by the fifth circuit. another case, wow, it is not easy to do. that was overturned 9-0 between the u.s. supreme court, not before thousands of employees at andersen accounting lost their jobs. their good paying jobs. and let's not forget andrew weissmann, his extreme political bias. a big-time democratic donor, attending hillary clinton's election party, the celebration than ever happened. still, mueller still chose weissmann to lead the staffing. and then he subsequently hired a team chock-full of big time democratic donors and lovers, just like him. zero -- zero -- republicans hired. mueller will have to answer that question. even hired one of hillary's former attorneys. that was a genius move. also, breaking tonight, and the vice president of

"the hill," investigative reporter john solomon out with a blockbuster bombshell that sheds light on andrew weissmann's new desperate attempts to find dirt on president trump. and according to john solomon, during the first two weeks of the special counsel probe, in other words, two weeks into robert mueller being appointed, weissmann almost immediately reached out to a ukrainian oligarch with a very general law firm. and generous offer. weissmann promised to make all of the prior charges in the united states go away, just give me any dirt you have on president trump or his family or his campaign. and it even got worse than that, in a lot of different ways, because in a bizarre and totally improper move, weissmann laid out exactly what he was looking for and even shared his wild theories about the trump campaign collusion with the oligarch's legal team. two weeks into the witch hunt. remarkably, the oligarch did not take the deal. because he did not have any knowledge of evidence of campaign collusion. a very sad day when a ukrainian oligarch has more integrity than

the u.s. federal prosecutor leading the russia witch hunt against the president of the united states. here with more on this breaking news, well, he developed it himself, investigative reporter john solomon. okay. two weeks after mueller is appointed, everything will go away if you just say this. this is a big problem that i had, which is whether it is manafort or cohen, or anybody, you say here is a get out of jail free card if you tell us what we want to hear. this has apparently been the m.o., tell me if i am wrong, of andrew weissmann and many of these profile cases, has it not? >> it has, and it will be a hail mary by andrew weissmann who knew behind the scenes that the russia case was falling apart way before we knew when the public that it was falling apart. a hail mary attempt to get some dirt to use on trump, and it fails. in that process, he is trying to

solve another problem for the justice department. it seemed to have a problem with truth and the abuses of power. in the case against the oligarch, behind the scenes, weissmann's team knew that there was about to be some very ugly discoveries for the justice department. wrongdoing, admission of evidence that was miscast, and other things like that. and extraordinarily, he tries to solve both problems with a single outcome, which is trying to get a deal with the oligarch and it did not work. >> sean: john solomon, we will get into this, and i'm sure the republicans ought to be bringing this up in the hearing. because any questions republicans ask, i will give a little tutorial on the air, the questions that should be asked, how they should be asked, and what the follow-up needs to be. not that anyone will listen to a dumb talk show host. but i will try to give them an education.

we will have more on weissmann and mueller throughout the show. but time for a "hannity investigation" into the squad as they are now known. we'll start with alexandria ocasio-cortez, representing the new york city far left 14th district, gaining her notoriety for the green new deal, a massive socialist overhaul of the u.s. economy, disguised even as her chief of staff says as a climate bill, calling for an end of the lifeblood of our economy, oil and gas production, in ten years. no more combustion engines, no more airplanes, no more cows. everything else is free. basic income, taxpayer funded health care, guaranteed healthy food, and on and on. and in 12 years before the world may end, and in march ocasio-cortez said that the radical steps were needed, because the united states is currently basically a garbage country. can't make it up. we have the tape. take a look. >> we have strayed so far away from what has really made us

powerful, and just, and good, and equitable, and productive. and so, i think all of these things sound radical compared to where we are, but where we are is not a good thing. and this idea of like 10% better from garbage should not be what we settle for. >> sean: garbage, when ocasio-cortez is not trashing the u.s., she is calling her political opponents racist. over the weekend claiming that the president stokes white supremacy, because that's what rouses the left-wing crazy base, saying that he does it to get the american people worked up. and that is not all, remember that she suggested also nancy pelosi was a racist when she told a reporter persistently singling out, got to the point where it was just outright disrespectful. explicit singling out of newly elected women of color. we have aoc's two calling cards, the new green deal socialist agenda, and of course,

it will destroy the country that we know, capitalism as we know it. calling trump, his supporters, anybody who opposes her, even nancy pelosi group racist. and we are a garbage country. congresswoman tlaib has a similar agenda, long has called the republican president racist. instead of obsessing about the green new deal, her biggest policy goal, not a policy at all. it's the impeachment of the president. on day one in office, she famously screamed that she was going to impeach the mfer. but the president said we are in office, her hatred for donald trump was extreme, because in 2016, during then candidate trump speech at the detroit economic club, tlaib was hauled off by security in a moment that would make any congresswoman proud. take a look. >> home ownership is at its lowest rate in 51 years. [screaming]

[crowd reacts] thank you very much. thank you. i will say the bernie sanders people had far more energy and spirit. i will say that. >> sean: to this day, without any evidence of high crimes, misdemeanors, tlaib is still calling for impeachment. you can't be shocked, because according to congresswoman tlaib, her hatred of the president is more important than the will of the american people. really? take a look. >> hello! yeah, i am not going nowhere. not until i impeach this president!

>> sean: we will have more of our "hannity investigation" into the radical squad throughout the show. adjoining us with reaction, fox news contributor karl rove. we can add to that, of course, the comparison to nazi germany by congresswoman omar, her virulent anti-semitism, and congresswoman ocasio-cortez, using the term in comparison to concentration camps. what does this mean between wednesday and the love of mueller and the new green deal that has gripped the 2020 presidential candidates on the democrat side? >> first of all, sean, i want to put to bed the ugly rumor that is floating around washington that the effort to elevate omar, tlaib, pressley, and aoc is a result of a secret plot concocted in the underground headquarters of the republican national committee and the conservative movement. this is simply not true and is

not -- as helpful as they have been to showing what the new democratic party has a chance to turn into, i want to say that this is not -- i have examined it. i have looked deeply. i have read the secret minutes of the secret meetings of the republican illuminati, and i find no evidence whatsoever that these four people were elected to office with the help of conservatives and republicans around the country. they are doing this all on their own. they are helping advance a conservative agenda all on their own. they are helping enthuse and motivate the conservatives all on their own. they are helping set up a situation where the president could be reelected in 2020. because they have tainted the democratic party as being as far left as they are. they are doing it all on their own. this is their own idea. >> sean: so you have some calling the country garbage, and then you have a guaranteed destruction of the american economy, no oil, gas engines, and everything is free. then you have this unprecedented

anti-semitism, israel has hypnotized the world, may allah awaken people. >> it is all about the benjamins. >> sean: all about the benjamins. and of course the comparisons to nazi germany that have been made, both israel and the u.s. detention centers. so where does -- how does this impact 2020 presidential hopefuls? >> we are paying a lot of attention to these four. and it is tainting the democratic party. when aoc stood up and said green new deal, she made a great many -- can you imagine the state of texas if that was a potential reality? within ten years, all of that oil and gas development in west texas is going to go away. those billions upon billions upon billions of dollars invested in refineries is going to go. the utility rates will go through the roof, even though we have the highest percentage of renewables in the texas energy supply. two great airlines, american and southwest airlines, will see through some unspecified

government power, putting passenger planes and the air and have people travel for a vacation or business or pleasure. all of that will go away. what these people are doing to the democratic party, i can understand why nancy pelosi must be pulling out her hair, while chuck schumer is just going nuts. they are doing deep damage to the democratic party. >> sean: last question. what do you advise to republicans on wednesday? i have a lot of questions i would like to ask mueller. >> i'd say two things. lay the predicate for the ig and the ag. that's what's really going to get to the heart of whether there was fisa abuse and what happened in 2016. remember mueller is not appointed until may of 2017. the abuses took place in 2016. lay the predicate and more importantly, every time the democrats go after one of these obstruction charges, ask mueller, do you stand by your statement that this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime? those were the words. this does not conclude that the

president committed a crime, do you still stand by those words? >> sean: you know, karl, i think that the headline will be "karl rove admits conservative conspiracy theory to create the squad" has been exposed on "hannity." the illuminati as well. >> there will be somebody on the left who thinks that, but maybe they won't. whatever. i just want to be on the record. >> sean: we will put it on the whiteboard. >> i want to see the emails, i want to see your emails, it may have started in your office. you may have concocted this scheme to get the four elected. >> sean: i'm sure that i did. >> it is worthy of you, my friend. >> sean: directly ahead, the hate-trump media exposed like never before. lawrence jones, reaction. and my questions for jim comey, straight-ahead. ♪ ♪

of specific examples of how democrats play the race card. and because of time tonight i will only read you five, number one, six platform supporting slavery. two, 20 platform supporting segregation. three, they did not just oppose the 13, 14, and 15th amendment to the constitution that abolished slavery and gave african-americans due process to and right to vote. number four, they also opposed the civil rights acts of 1866, 1870, and 1875 that did everything from giving the newly freed slaves property, protecting the right to vote, and prohibited discrimination. and last, progressive champion and democratic president woodrow wilson segregated the governmentss and later showcased the film "birth of a nation," a celebration of the ku klux klan in the white house. what we are seeing right now is the oldest formula, conflate progressive politics with race, get elected, and pass whatever

is on their agenda at the moment. whether it is the federal reserve for wilson or the green new deal today. it is disgraceful. and the media is complicit in covering for them. >> sean: you have the other four, the squad, lawrence, and they refer to the country as garbage and they make analogies about, let's see, concentration camps, and then make a lot of them, and it is all about the benjamins, and israel is like nazi germany and israel is like iran, and others write for louis farrakhan, and i'm thinking, those are the people that they want to support? meaning mainstream democrats? >> yes, well, this is what they have always wanted. look, sean, there is an entire progressive caucus full of all type of races of people. there is a reason why they made the squad just people of color. because it was a shield so that they could get away with saying anything that they wanted withoutet any accountability. and the media won't call them on their policies, but this is nothing new, sean, think about

we will do that tomorrow night exclusively on the show.w. first, breaking from sara carter, o chuck grassley, sent a letter to the acting defense director pressing the department for more information relating that contracts awarded to stefan halper, that man right there. he is the guy who was reportedly used as an informant by the fbi to spy on team trump. interesting development. here with reaction fox news contributor, investigative reporter sara carter.in author of the upcoming sequel to "the witch hunt," coming out soon, fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. sara, let's start with your breaking news story, now remember, there were multiple ways that they spied on trump, one, they used hillary's bought and paid for, unverified, full of lies russian disinformation as "the new york times" said, to spy indirectly, using carter page as the conduit, spying on the campaign, the transition and then the president. and we know that the bulk of information was hillary's bought

and paid for lies, but overseas, we know that they also spied on the trump campaign and went after sam clovis, papadopoulos, carter page, this guy is actively involved with that.te and i understand that there will be breaking news on the professor involved in all of this, maybe tomorrow or the day after. so my question to you is, he really had contracts? wow. >> yes, he had contracts with the department of defense office in that assessment. those contracts are basically asking him, in excess of over $400,000, possibly more. and in january, senator chuck grassley requested that the department of defense give all information, basically audit through the inspector general all of these contracts, those contracts began in september 2016 and focused on various topics such as china and other issues, remember that it was george papadopoulos who was

asked by stefan halper to actually go to london and help him research some of this. it was the $3,000 that he paid to george papadopoulos as he lured him to london with the money that came from the dod. what senator grassley discovered when the audit came through lass week was that there was so much missing. so much information who stefan halper was dealing with in that assessment. what was going on, how are these contracts awarded? there was real, significant missing information in these audits.tr and the inspector general laid it out. so now, senator grassley wants the office of that assessment to brief the committee in detail about the relationship with stefan halper, and he also wants any information pertaining to halper. what was noted in the opposite of that assessment, the audit that was conducted by the inspector general was that it was not just stefan halper, they noticed discrepancies with other

contracts as well that they don't have answers to. and this is very significant, sean. remember both carter pagee and george papadopoulos gaveig possibly exculpatory information that the fbi never turned over when they took out the fisa, particularly on carter page. both men have stated over and over again that they told stefan halper that they were not involved with the russians. that they were not in any way, shape, or form working with the russians and there is a belief among members of congress that that information was never passed on. >> sean: gregg, this week is a great opportunity for the republicans if robert mueller is true to his word and his opening statement is really going to be the mueller report, then these republicans will get 5 minutes. an awful lot of questions that are not in the mueller report. when did you know about theas dirty dossier? did you know the dirty dossier -- when did you find out that the dirty dossier was used

as the bulk of evidence to give a fisa warrant to spy on the trump campaign and transition and presidency? when did you first know that there was no collusion and determined no collusion with russia? all of this, i'm going to lay out my version tomorrow, you have been very open about what you think the questions ought to be. i think the question should bebe no longer than ten seconds, 11 q seconds each, and they should be sharp. and i think that any type of filibuster attempts by robert mueller ought to be met with fierce interruption. >> yes, absolutely, they should be short, direct, succinct questions. in the course of just an hour, i put together 37 questions here. they are all one sentence long.u but i would make christopher steele, the dossier, and the hillary clinton campaign paying for russian admission certainly the centerpiece. i would challenge mueller on his own conflicts of interest.

and also ask him, how can you hire people like andrew weissmann, jeannie rhee, and aaron zebley who had ties to clinton and the clintonpl foundation. and i would challenge him about things that he misrepresented io his report. individuals that he claims were spies for russia when, in fact, they were providing intelligent information to the united states. so again, there is so much to go over here. if i had three hours, i could triple the number of 37 questions that i came up with in just an hour. >> sean: that's because you are really smart. and i'm going to be looking at your questions, probably will steal a few. but i will give attribution, unlike the rest of the media that never does so. great report, sara, great analysis, gregg. when we come back, james comey,s super patriot. cannot help himself. giving his list of questions to the democrats for wednesday's hearings. i have a bunch of questions that i want james comey to answer.

usc 793 say? what part of that did hillary clinton not violate? we would like you had to explain the detail.io why was the language changed in the may exoneration that was being written for hillary clinton ahead of her interrogation from gross negligence, the legal term, to extreme carelessness? why was clinton allowed to have other people in the room when the fbi and your agents got around to questioning her late in the game? july 2nd, you exonerated her aree days later. why were aides like cheryl mills offered immunity? why was destroying subpoenaed emails, removing sim cards, busting up blackberries, using bleach bit to totally eliminate any possibility of recovering emails on a server, tell me how with an underlying crime of the espionage act, that is not obstruction of justice that you seem to care so much about? why did you expect attorney general lynch's, well, her description, or change in language that the clinton investigation was not an

investigation at all, but a matter? how many times, mr. comey, were you warned that the steele dossier paid for by hillary clinton that had russiaf lies in it was unverified? but you signed a document that said it was verified. at least two, we know that bruce ohr warned you in august 2016, and you were also warned two weeks before you signed the first fisa application that says it was verified. t that was fromif the state department official kathleen kavalec. mr. comey, why did you still sign the fisa application to spy on page, despite being warned repeatedly it was unverified? now we know unverifiable and to your own fbi had their own spreadsheet that pointed outri over 90% of it was just lies and not true. why sign a fisa warrant and affirm the information including the dossier was verified and then months later tell the

president of the united states, well, president-elect at the time, it was unverified, but salacious? why did you allow your deputy director to tell general flynn that he did not need a lawyer when, in fact, he knew this was an investigation? you knew this, mr. comey, into flynn. when the counterintelligence investigation began in july of 2016, what was the basis for such an investigation? and another question about general flynn, why did you eliminate all proper procedure and protocol, take advantage on day four of the trump administration, send your agents in that you never would have done in the bush years or the obama years and did you have advanced knowledge of anything that general flynn said, and was it achieved by surveillance, the illegal unmasking and leaking of raw intelligence? and did you yourself violate the espionage act? here with reaction, emily compagno along with former florida attorney general pam bondi.

pam, that is just the tip of the iceberg.co he wants to give questions, i have questions for him. >> that's right, and sean, a bunch of great ones. and i think the follow up on your last question, mr. comey, when you leaked confidential information, fed it to your friend, who leaked it to "the new york times," did you willfully commit a crime? >> sean: is that aor violation of the espionage act? was that not supposed to be protected information, pam, in your professional opinion? >> it is protected, confidential information that he fed to his friend to leak to "the new york times." and it was under oath. absolutely. >> sean: and what some of that top-secret, pam, was later redacted? we should not even know about it, sean, that is the point of it being confidential as an investigator and a prosecutor, he knows that. >> sean: emily. >> what i appreciate about your questions is that the public does not know the answer to those questions and we deserve to know, because the misusewe ad corruption of the intelligence community for nefarious purposes

is a gross misuse of our tax dollars and a corruption of the entire system. so unlike comey's questions for mueller, which were all about him, yours seek the answers that we deserve. most amusing question that comey put out there for mueller is about his opinion on his judgment of obstruction of justice and also the substantial amount of evidence when i point him to the report itself which has all of the answers that he needs to know. >> sean: i have a lot more questions. that is just the tip of the iceberg. and mr. comey, you are invited on the program. i will give you the full hour, 620 radio stations now. give him the three hours on radio too. thank you, both. h when we come back, the villain of the day. and a little headline on what we will do on the program tomorrow night. try to educate weak republicans. straight-ahead. ♪ i have a vision correction number,
