tv   Hannity  FOX News  August 20, 2019 10:00pm-11:00pm PDT

10:00 pm
time from now, we hope. the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness, and groupthink. good night from washington, guess who's next, ladies and gentlemen? sean hannity. >> sean: all right, tucker, thank you, great show as always. welcome to "hannity." buckle up, coming up, we have the very latest blunders from, yes, sleepy creepy crazy uncle joe, but first tonight, multiple federal investigations into fisa fraud, biased corruption of the deep state, leaking, spying -- against the law -- and thehe seedy origins of the counter intel investigation and the russia probe are now ongoing,, s of only literally 4 minutes ago, we received major new details about what is about toon be revealed. john solomon, and we know now, in a matter of week, ten bombshell pieces of evidence could be rocking, not only the capital of washington, d.c., and that swamp, but should shock the conscience.
10:01 pm
this will include official documentation of christopher steele's conversations with the fbi, o along with steele's lengthy interview with inspector general, the gang of 8 material, the third fisa renewal application, and so much more. joining us now, first, to break, it all down isak investigative reporter, executive vice president of "the hill," john solomon. john, i have your article, literally just printed it out, hot off the presses. ten declassified russia collusion revelations that could rock washington this fall. my sources told me it will shock the conscience of a nation. >> yeah. >> sean: let's go over them one by one. >> absolutely. i think the first is a form called the 10-32. we don't talk about it, an fbiol form, the official documentation of what the fbi and christopher steele exchanged with each other. we have always focused on what did christopher steele give the fbi? but i'm told that these documents show the fbi may have given christopher steele sensitive information, in briefing him on the
10:02 pm
investigation, maybe even disclosed the existence of a crossfire hurricane operation, which could potentially have gotten back to his ultimate employer, hillary clinton and the democratic national committee. raises some real concerns about the control of information that the fbi had when working with steele. >> sean: we are putting it up on the screen. christopher steele's confidential human source reports on the fbi, 53 housets intel interviews, the stefan halper documents, october 2016 fbi email chain, page, papadopoulos, exculpatory statements. how did they withhold exculpatory statements, and then end up going after, in the case of papadopoulos, put this guy in jail, when they had information that he -- as i understand it -- that he would consider it being a traitor if he-- ever colluded with russia. the gang of 8, we talked about that at length, the steele spreadsheet, when they finally started looking at the steele dossier, what did they
10:03 pm
find, john? >> they found that 90% or more of it cannotot be verified and s wrong, or was simply internet garbage hearsay from the internet, really indicates -- >> sean: they have the spreadsheet? why did they discover that 90% of this was garbage? >> they began in october/november vetting it, and by april they abandoned it because there is nothing to relieve that. >> sean: we have the october initial fisa warrant based on the phony, clinton-bought-and-paid-for dossier. it says verified, but they didn't investigate it, and they found out when they did investigate it that they oucouldn't verify, and that was how many months later? >> six, seven months later. and here's a very important point:. some of the testimony the house members got, the house intelligence committee and the dig year a committee, jim jordan's and meadows died last year, people were talking about the process of adding the
10:04 pm
steele dossier had begun after are simultaneously of them already going to the court. the cart and the horse were backwards, the fbi hadn't vetted what it was representing to the court as verified, very troubling, and it is the sort of stuff we are going to learn a lot about in the ig report and in the barr and durham investigations that are forthcoming. >> sean: what are we going to learn from the steele interview? we know in an interrogatory he said, i don't know if any of this is true, but it was used as the basis for four fisad warrants. >> he was very careful to say it was unverified, 50/50 chance it might be true or not, which isn't very good intelligence. we may learn what he told the fbi -- listen, he was telling the state department with kathleen kavalec, i'm leaking to the media, i'm desperate to get trump not elected president. i've got a political deadline of election day to get my information leaked out. i'm talking to the media -- he is divulging all of the stuff, all of the things the fbi has claimed, at least anonymously in news stories, they didn't know about. i would like to know what christopher steele said heew tod his handlers before his dossier
10:05 pm
was used to support the fisa. >> sean: last two. the redacted sections, the third renewal, the third renewal application, there are redacted sections, and number ten, the records of allies assistance. that would be, if i'm wrong, tell me, the outsourcing of that which would otherwise be illegal, of spying on a campaign, donald trump, on a transition donald trump, on a president donald trump. subcontracted out to our allies, italy, great britain, and australia. because they were circumventing american laws on the one hand, but also, we have one of the redacted sections of the final warrant. >> the final warrant, there is a strong possibility that information is misidentified or misleading, intentionally misleading to the court. may have been represented as new information that was actually very old, and there may have been serious exclusions about those exculpatory statements
10:06 pm
that were not mentioned in that fourth and final fisa warrant. that is the one rod rosenstein signed, and i think we should keep an eye on it. the one devin nunes has driven hard for disclosure. there is a reason why he wants that public. >> sean: the fact is it was unverifiable information from the get-go, and they all support, so that would be, premeditated fraud on a fisa court. there were multiple warnings before the initial filing of the first application. john solomon, what is the likelihood that all ten of those things are going to be pretty blockbuster? >> i think all ten are going to be blockbuster. whether they all get released, i don't know. what i'm certain of is these have been essential documents to the ongoing investigations, ig, durham, barr, congressional inquiries that continue on, anda everyone who has seen them says they will change everything you know about the russia case. >> sean: great investigative report, investigative reporter john solomon. so, in 2016, at the very height of a presidential election, you have multiple trump campaign
10:07 pm
officials spied on by our government or other governments spying for our own intelligent people so they could circumvent the laws against spying against americans. then we have premeditated fisa fraud, to spy on americans and the opposition party candidate, that would be donald trump. everything trump transition, everything donald trump as president. and we have an ex-spy, foreign spy, all funded byby hillary clinton, receiving unfettered access to the justice department, state department, even paid by the fbi, atvi one point, to spread his anti-trump russia lies, misinformation, propaganda, against donald trump. they never verified it. you are supposed to verify it. while christopher steele might be at the very center of the biggest abuse of v power, corruption scandal in history, well, obama and biden were at the very top. now, according to former u.s. attorney andy mccarthy, when you have a counterintelligence investigation, that never happens, unless it's with the direction of the president of
10:08 pm
the united states.en the president, in this case, would have been barack obama. mccarthy even accused obama of putting the law enforcement ande intelligence apparatus, those powerful tools we entrust to these people to keep us safe, that they literally used that apparatus of our government in the service of the clinton campaign, well, to rig an election. so now we must ask the question: what did obama know? what did biden know?so what did rice know? q what did lynch know? and when did they know it? here to explain, fox news contributor sara carter and the author of his brand-new book, it's called "ball of collusion: the plot to rig an election and destroy a presidency," fox news contributor, anthony mccarthy. the origins of the counterintelligence investigation, you are saying there is no counterintelligence investigation, unless it goess through the office of the presidency, the oval office. does that mean obama had to know?
10:09 pm
>> well, sean, what i'm saying, not other presidents sits there and directs that there be counterintelligence investigations. what i'm saying is that, unlike criminal investigations, counterintelligence investigations are done for the president.nl the only reason to do them is to inform the president with the information he needs to protect the united states from a foreign threat. they are not like criminal investigations in that regard. so, in principle, the information from a counterintelligence investigation is for the president, and here, we know at various junctures, we have actual, factual information that this investigation was well known to president obama. >> sean: okay, so, if he knew -- and this is all happening -- he had to know about it from the get-go. doesn't that also imply that he would have been updated on this, if he is the one that leads the national security decision-making? >> sean, if things are working properly, the president should
10:10 pm
have been alerted about it and informed about it, it was a very important investigation. if they actually believed what they were telling the court, that it was a possibility that donald trump was actually a plant of the kremlin, it would have been derelict on their part not to keep the president informed. >> sean: you know, sara, as we have been able to unpeel the layers of the onion, it goes right into the office of then-president obama. nobody has asked president obama, what did you know, when do you know it? are we at that critical juncture where that now will have to become a question that is asked, perhaps under oath? >> absolutely. president obama should answer these questions. remember, sean, this is about the weaponization of the intelligence community. i go back to the very beginning, with the unmaskings. this was a counterintelligence investigation. just as andy mccarthy has stated. it wasn't a criminal investigation. and as andy mccarthy has stated, as we have stated before, if they believed president trump, as they stated, was a manchurian candidate, the
10:11 pm
president of the united states at the time, barack obama, would have been informed of this. by john brennan, by james clapper, by others within the intelligence apparatus. this was so important, and this is such a linchpin right now. all you have to do is look back at some of the text messages between peter strzok and lisa page, the fbi special agent and his lover/lawyer, and how they talked about, you know, he wants to be informed. they tried to explain that away, as it wasn't president obama, but we know better than that. also, look at some of the emails that susan rice sent to herself. she sent emails to herself in january, before they left office. >> sean: she did it on inauguration day, didn't she? i would call them cyas. very good point for you that's right. >> sean: andy, you work for the
10:12 pm
southern district of new york, probably the most prestigious prosecutorial group. you were able to get a conviction in the first trade center bombing. my question to you, is there anyway we can get to the fulll truth without interviewing or interrogating or asking barack obama what he knew and when he knew it? >> i think, sean, that is probably the last thing you want to do. you want to get down, get all of the other information, just like we said when the issue of interviewing president trump came up in the investigation. you have to be able -- if you want to interview the president of the united states, you should -- >> sean: not president anymore. >> well, but we are talking what activities that happened wasld president, and that he still has some privilege with respect to under american law -- >> sean: why would i suspect he won't be -- just guessing. >> we'll see.
10:13 pm
>> sean: president trump never evoked executive privilege. trump handed over 1.5 million documents. he asked everybody in the white house to testify before congressional committees and the special counsel, he didn't deny access -- even the white house counsel, which i thought wasid insane, don mcgahn got 30 hours before the weissmann team that was running that place, anr all of the democratic donors. all right, thank you both. we are going to follow, sara and andy. what happened in 2016, as we follow this story, and john is right, this is what we will have revealed step-by-step, day-by-day throughout the fall. seemingly all of this done at the direction, if you listen ton what andy is saying, can't have a counterintel investigation unless the obama-biden administration -- in fact, that would represent the biggest abuse of power scandal in american political history, because they wanted to impact the outcome of an election. they spied in multiple ways, overseas and through the fisa process by premeditated fraud on the fisa court, and naturally, you would think that one of the
10:14 pm
oldest and most established newspapers in the country, papeo of record, "the new york times," you would think they would be all over this story. nope. guess again. instead "the times," they spent three yearsst publishing lies, propaganda, misinformation, conspiracy theories, and a hoax. there was never, ever any trump-russia collusion. that didn't matter to't "the times," they dedicated their time, resources, and energy to these wild, unproven, baseless accusations that we not know to be wrong. and by the way, according to a leaked transcript from a "new york times" staff town hall, their executive editor, dean baquet, he actually admitted "we built our newsroom to cover one story, and we didit it truly well." only problem is the story wasm y,false. it was based on a mountain of lies, even the fbi said the dirty dossier, bought-and-paid-for, 90% plus of it false, that was months after they already used it as the bulk of information to obtain the fisa warrants. now that the american people
10:15 pm
have caught onto this lie, well, he is now claiming that "the times" has to apologize, no? revise and make -- no correction. regroup, and now shift resources and emphasis, not start lying about other stories, a different story. now, you're probably wondering: what new group of lies will you be told? the bold angle from "the new york times" is about accusing president trump and republicans of being racist. in election season, i've told you, every two, four years, it never changes. tonight, we do have clear proof that "the new york times" is nothing more than a propaganda arm of the democratic party, with one, and only one, singular focus: a smear campaign to bludgeon president trump, a duly-elected president, that they tried to take out. and meanwhile, a radical group of 2020 democrats, they are getting a free pass on virtually everyone in the media mob. that includes sleepy creepy
10:16 pm
crazy uncle joe, he is supposed to be the experienced, confident front-runner, in a crowded field of candidates. in reality, he is a walking disaster. and by now, we all know that the obama-biden record, that was a complete and utter failure. we also know that joe, 30330, which meant nothing, he is a nonstop human gaffe machine.t biden's problems actually go much deeper. recently the "washington examiner" compiling a list of the six times biden described major events in his life that never happened. including a wild story about his helicopter getting forced down near usama bin laden's hideout in afghanistan.a he also once falsely claimed that he worked as a coal miner, and that he was shot at in iraq. according to the 2010 book "game change," president obama openlyy wondered "how many times is biden going to say something stupid?" creepy crazy uncle joe reportedly told obama he would
10:17 pm
never have to worry about his presidential ambitions because he was "too old." but fear not, biden's brain surgeon is here to reassure the american people, 30 years ago, he performed surgery on then-senator biden, following two brain aneurysms, but today, he told "politico" he is "absolutely certain" that he has a brain that is functioning. a brain that is functioning. okay. good news. biden also received a glowing endorsement from his own wife. she told voters to hold their nose, swallow a little, and -- judge jeanine laughing. and make the sensible choice. hold your nose? vote for my husband? is that like a new campaign thing? anyway, look for yourself. >> your candidate might be better, i don't know, on health care than joe is. but you have to look who is
10:18 pm
going to win this election? and may be have to swallow a little bit, and, i personally like so-and-so better, but bottom line has to be that we have to beat trump. >> sean: hold your nose and swallow? wow. with enthusiasm like that from his own wife, i'm sure biden has this nomination, this sucker locked right down. while dr. jill biden is begging voters to grin and bear it, senator elizabeth warren is busy covering up her fake claims on native american ancestry. her campaign website has recently scrubbed any and all references to her phony claims, including a dna test showing that warren had between 1/1,164th and 1/1,024th native american ancestry. yesterday, senator warren attended a native american residential forum where she offered a pretty tepid apology. take a look. >> before i go any further in
10:19 pm
this, i want to say this. like anyone who is being honest with themselves, i know that i have made mistakes. i am sorry for harm i have caused. i have listened, and i have learned a lot. and i am grateful for the many conversations that we've had together. >> sean: she used this lie to advance her career for decades. that's a pretty weak apology. here with reaction, author of the brand-new book "radicals, resistance, revenge," host of "justice," judge jeanine pirro. also, former governor of arkansas, mike huckabee. judge, i don't think i would get away with lying for decadesn basically padding my resume and claiming i'm a minority to get advantages that others wouldn't get. >> most people, if they pad their resume, that is the end of it.
10:20 pm
if try to go into an administration and lie about your background, it's over. or you look at someone like brian williams, who said he was in the middle of gunfire -- >> sean: whoa, we call him uneag brian. >> or hillary clinton, who said there was gunfire when she was in bosnia. >> sean: these are the classics. >> yeah! they are untrustworthy, and they're not going to win an election. by the way, you got to have fire in the belly when you want to run for office. look, elizabeth warren may have that fire, but she is, as far as i think most people are concerned, a little loony with this indian, native american stuff going on. >> sean: you can comment on that, governor huckabee, or thee fact that, well, i don't know, i know your wife pretty well, i think she was just slightly more enthusiastic about you running for office. >> my gosh, i would hope so. >> sean: [laughs] >> i can't imagine my wife saying, look, vote for my husband. he's not worth a darn, but we've just got to win, so we really need the job.th look, here's what amazes me about this whole thing with biden.
10:21 pm
i mean, he's been in more historical situations, according to his own memory, than forrest gump. i mean, this is unbelievable, how many things he has been part of that he really wasn't part of. >> sean: [laughs] that's perfectly -- if i'm remembering forrest gump, he was in everything. >> here's what's going to happen, though. he's going to keep making these gaffes -- and by the way, i'm no brain surgeon, but that guy, he's got something missing. w >> sean: david axelrod is not a dope. he even said this is probably the best biden has got, and the idea they now want to hide biden, and as axelrod said, either you can cut it or not, this is the office of the presidency. trump will eat his lunch. t >> and you know what, trump, like him or you don't likeke trump, he is so quick, he is so witty, he is so, so smart. this guy, biden, is like, whoa,
10:22 pm
not functioning, they're not connecting, those circuits. >> sean: i'm looking warren, ioo did think kamala, but she has gone full-on aoc, green new deal, medicare for all, no private insurance. i don't see it. who do you see? mayor pete? >> honestly, any of them are a delight for president trump. about a year from now, donald trump is going to be standing under the debate stage with one of these guys. if it's joe biden, they won't have to put it on for free. >> sean: who gets it? >> i've stood on that stage with donald trump during a debate.ru let me tell you something. he will eat joe biden's lunch, and joe won't remember what lunch was when the debate is over. >> joe's not going to make it. >> sean: i'm leaning withng her. mayor pete can't even run south bend. >> no, forget him. >> sean: all right, thank you both.. when we come back,

will be soon answered. >> sean: senator, i read in the nunes memo and the grassley-graham memo, the bulk of information for each fisa warrant was the clinton-bought-and-paid-for dossier. okay.nt we know, in fact, the fbi and doj -- everyone was warned at least twice, once by bruce ohr, once by kathleen kavalec, you can't trust it, it's unverified, clinton paid for it, and steele hates trump. but they used it anyway. then we find out, we just discussed with john solomon, they never corroborated any of it, and when the fbi finally got around to it, around the time of the third renewal, the second or third renewal, they realized -- this is basically all, total, 90% plus b.s. why didn't they know that when they signed the first warrant? or did they, and that means it's premeditated fraud on the fisa court? >> what would be ugly and damning if you could prove that the document they used to get

much-talked-about pictures of ghislaine maxwell at an in-n-out burger could be staged. apparently they have too many drinks and photos on the table and each picture has new customers in the background. not confirmed to be fakes, but very suspicious. >> sean: yeah, i would say that is suspicious. this stuff with the young girls, the most disturbing part. him, supposedly in jail, buying women's underwear, young girls as gifts, about as young as 12 years old. i want to know anybody that was associated, anyone that was involved in this, they need to be held to account. all right, thank you, trace. also tonight, democrats seeing major pushback on the radical agenda. former top democrat, look at this, harry reid, blasting his own party for their extreme policies and backwards

priorities. he predicts it will hurt them in the upcoming election. while reid seems to be right about the american people being underwhelmed with the democratie platform,e as the dnc has resorted to fund-raising with americans that moved to mexico. with reaction, the cohost of "the five," host of "watters' world," and we just live in it, fox news channel, jesse watters. also fox news contributor emily compagno. emily, you've gotten in all of this, your thoughts generally, especially epstein, then of course, fund-raising in mexico? >> right, i'll start with the last first. in terms of the fund-raising in mexico, democrats are clearly feeling the pressure, and they are kind of frantic, right? they want to raise money from every source possible. i want to point out there are no stranger to the cross-border fund-raising. as of october 2016, huma abedin and anna wintour held a fund-raiser in paris for hillary clinton. and i think you just have to look at the numbers to know the data simply does not
10:43 pm
measure up in terms of their prowess thus far. the rnc reached $20.8 million, we have yet to hear the numbers, but last month, the dnc raised simply 8.5. >> i mean, the democrats are now outsourcing their fund-raising to mexico. we know trump's fund-raisers are made in america. what are the democrats going to do, have a bouncer at the door with a flashlight, checking to see who's id it is? carlos santana, yes, you are an american, come in. it is ripe for fraud, and she's right, they are desperate -- >> sean: it's illegal to raise money from other countries. but if they are american citizens, they can donate. >> the optics are terrible. not only are they fund-raising, they are campaigning, they are speaking spanish, they are for open borders, free sanctuary cities -- >> sean: free health care. >> free health care, and nancy is not --- >> sean: sanctuary cities. >> it is a bad look, and harry reid is right. he saw his majority lose in the senate when they overreached immigration and health care. he's dingy, he's not dumb. he knows what he is talking

about and now their policies are, if you like your health care plan, you can't keep it. p we will give it to illegals, and boarding crossing is just jaywalking. >> sean: let me go to the epstein case, emily, and ask you -- i don't think there is anything makes me more angry than the abuse of children. and more and more, as you listen to these interviewers, and then the long list of people that were best friends. the only person that threw epstein out was a guy by the name of donald trump, from mar-a-lago, 16 years ago. why did everyone else stay in his inner circle, knowing that these young girls were e everywhere? >> it's absolutely reprehensible. according to epstein, he claims that he was the "minister," and those in his circle confided like interest into him. which i find reprehensible, if true, and hopefully others will be prosecuted as being coconspirators in that way., and i want to point out, i have spent hours upon hours ---
