there must be engineers among you who can figure it out. we'll see you tomorrow. good night from washington. the great sean hannity standing by in new york city to take over in the 9:00 p.m. our. >> sean: tucker, great show as always. welcome to "hannity." we are glad you are with us. tonight we start with a fox news alert. if you're like most americans, you didn't watch today's impeachment charade, here's the big take away. another huge dud, and frankly, an embarrassing spectacle for the entire country. what democrats are doing to thiu country, this is humiliating to all of us, a display that needs to come to c an end, common sen, reason, intellectual honesty never played a part in any of those. nothing but one opinion after another opinion after another opinion followed by conjecture on the opinion and now my feelings are about whatever. no actual evidence, no wrongdoing, whatsoever, none, all of it, every bit of it, hearsay and this person's

interpretation and that person's interpretation of the transcript that we all read. now this is now blowing up in the democrats' face, americans are tuning out in a big way. viewership of this. public shamn dropped by over 1 million from day one today two and i but it dropped again today. a number of americans watching already pales in comparison to previous proceedings. the ratings werera so bad "cbs news," i predicted this, they actually decided to pull the plug o on their wall-to-wall p coverage earlier today in exchange for regular programming. i would expect other networks will probably follow suit. according to a morning consult poll, the first hearing were utterly failed to increase any support for this corrupt, this compromised schiff show, as notw voter support for impeachment and the inquiry, yeah, that is that a new low also. other polls showing that over two-thirds of americans, they have already made up their minds on the subject but they know it all comes down to the

transcript. there is no mystery here at all despite with the democrats are trying to create an environment circus about. american people are smart. they can easily read the now public transcripts at the center of the schiff show, and not one witness was necessary, not a single one, and on the transcript that you can read, which today's witnesses confirmed was accurate and complete, not a t single time -- how interesting -- as the person to the united states, did he ever mentioned aid, not one-time to the president of united states. in fact, sondland was delivered in full it was delivered without any conditions, and it was delivered with ukraine having to doo nothing and did nothing to get the aid. there was no quaid, no pro, no call, and no pressure, no extortion. how manykr more times does the ukrainian president have to say, i didn't have any problems with any of this? the democrats new favorite allegation, we will call."

i will we'll change the name to bribery. that was only mentioned once. that was in relation to the real quid pro quo, joe biden, remember, oh, you are not getting the money. if you don't fire the prosecutor, you don't get the billion dollars. you have six hours. if you fire the prosecutor, who he was told was investigating his zero experience on, then i will give you the billion. okay, why is his son being paid millions of dollars, no experience in ukraine, no experience in oil, gas, or energy. oh, because his son of the vice president. watch this. >> multiple democratic members of this committee gave tv and radio interviews over this past week discussing how the president's conduct supported his impeachment for committing bribery. for the longest time, this was all about quid pro quo, according to the whistle-blower complaint. but after witness after witness began saying there was no

quid pro quo or even that quid pro quo was not even possible, we saw a shift from the democrats. they briefly started to refer to the president's conduct on the july 25th call as extortion, and now it has shifted again last week to bribery. ms. williams, you've never used the word bribery or bribe to explain president trump's conduct, correct? >> no, sir. >> colonel vindman, you haven't either? >> that is correct. >> sean: instead of delivering any proof of the president's new bribery, two of the most. senir witnesses refuted that claim, no bribery, no linkage whatsoever between u.s. aid and any investigation, none, zero, zip. take a look. >> mr. morrison, i will start with you. did anyone ever ask you to bribe or extort anyone at any time during your time in the white house? >> no, sir. >> you are the top person for ukraine in the white house,

correct? >> i would argue ambassador bolton would be -- >> reporting to ambassador bolton. >> i was a senior official, yes, sir. >> ambassador volker, we have a storied career, we are very thankful for your service. you are the special envoy to ukraine. >> that is correct. >> did anyone at the white house ever ask you to bribe or extort anything out of anyone at anytime? >> no, sir. >> sean: let's recap. ambassador volker, zero evidence of such thing, top national security council to morrison, no evidence, didn't see it. every other witness, zero evidence of anything like bribery, not even mentioning the word on their own, zero times. the democrats, they want to impeach a sitting president over this? and yet they won't even allow the person that started this entire charade, their precious hearsay nonwhistle-blower whistle-blower to testify before congress. i have never seen such madness

or insanity in my entire life. that is 31 years following politics and talk radio. now in my 24th year at the box, that is saying a lot. as ranking member, devin nunes pointed out, there is a very good reason that you have the compromise, the corrupt, congenital liar, adam schiff, he wants to give the whistle-blower at harding. there is a good reason for that because he lied again. take a look. >> what was the full extent of the whistle-blower's prior coordination with chairman schiff, his staff, and any of the people he cooperated with while preparing the complaint? what are the whistle-blower's political biases and connections to democratic politicians? how does the whistle-blower explain the inaccuracies in the complaint? what contacted the whistle-blower have with the media, which appears to be ongoing? what are the sources of the whistle-blower's information? who else did he talk to?

was the whistle-blower prohibited by law from receiving or conveying any of thathe information? >> sean: don't forget, in september, yeah, the compromise fact witness, congenital liar adam schiff tweeted, oh, he looked forward to the whistle-blower's testimony. went on msdnc, we have not spoken directly with the whistle-blower but we would like to talk to the whistle-blower. another lie by the congenital liar, and a short time after, well, media outlets reported that schiff's office in fact was actually meeting, advising that on whistle-blower hearsay whistle-blower from the beginning. he completely reversed his opinion. oh, no longer wanted the whistle-blower to testify. yet another shocking twist, and other congenital liar, he claims he knows nothing about the whistle-blower's identity. the are you following along? this is a level of insanity we've got going on, and corruption. by the way, he's the guy, that guy, who lied to this country

for three straight years saying we have all the evidence of trump-russia collusion. he's a liar, a congenital liar, and of course, the idiots in the media mob, they are following their beloved congenital liar over the cliffie again. today oddly enough, despite claiming he doesn't know who the whistle-blower is, the congenital liar somehow knew just when to cut off the witness from revealing anything about his identity. never allowed to know. this whistle-blower is not a whistle-blower. look at the statute. we've examined it on this program. >> as you know, the intelligence community has 17 different agencies. what agency was this individual from? >> if i can interject here. we don't want to use these proceedings -- >> it's our time. >> i know what we need to protect the whistle-blower. please stop. i want to make sure that there is no effort to out the whistle-blower through these

proceedings. >> i only out of the nsc, two individuals. it's because you're not willing to tell who that individual is? >> mr. chairman, point of order. >> this committee will not be used without the whistle-blower. that same -- >> mr. chairman, don't lose the time. >> you are recognized again, mr. chairman. >> mr. chairman, i don't see how this is outing the whistle-blower. the witness has testified in his deposition that he does not who the whistle-blower is. you have said, even though no cte believes you, you have said you don't know who the whistle-blower is, so how is this outing whistle-blower to find out who this individual isb >> mr. gordon, this is your time for questioning. you can use it anywhere your life. your questions should not be addressed or trying to out the whistle-blower. >> sean: checkmate. is that mean that the witness you just saw, this lieutenant colonel vindman leak to the cult of the whistle-blower i don't

know. we do not vindman u supervisors expressed a lot of concern about his judgment. we do know that vindman never talked to the president and never advised him directly, period, and of sentence. and pretty annoyed the president did not use his talking points. we also know he was unhappy about all of that and that made him unhappy with a phone call with ukraine. wattage you not use myex talking points? anyway, the president does not follow a script. yeah, he's the president, he is the commander-in-chief, he says his own foreign policy. not some other bureaucrat. i know this might be hard for many in the deranged radical extreme members of the socialist democratic party and their allies in the media mob. president, he is the commander-in-chief, that's right, 304 electoral votes, and yes, he defeated hillary clinton. the democrats want to offend the will of we, the american people, they better have a lot more evidence than hearsay, dumb, frankly, work was opinion and conjecture that differs from person to person.

this is now hurting our country. hang on a second. understand the senate's never going to confirm this charade. federal rules of evidence don't allow hearsay evidence. that is not admissible. none of it, none of these people will be hurt in the u.s. senate if there is ever a trial. one honest democratic congressman sums it up like this. we spent millions of dollars, tons of money, tons of time, times of hurt, fracturing the nation apart, and i have not seen this to be a good thing. or more on my monologue, coming up. plus, congressman jim jordan, he was outstanding, playing a pivotal role in the hearing. he'll be here. first, joining us with reaction, matt gaetz, minority whip steve scalise. i will go and i will concede to the leader in the senate over you, congressman matt gaetz, you are getting close, you are, getting good. he steve scalise, there is not one thing that these people

needed to testify except theirev opinion about what they thought of the transcript that never talked about aid, that the president of ukraine said never felt pressure, that they never did anything and they still got the aid. why are we here? >> it really begs the question because ultimately, they are trying to remove a president or daving a better foreign policy than barack obama and joe biden. in fact, you even had vindman today saying that it was president trump, not president obama, who sold the javelin missiles ukraine so they could defend themselves against russia. and take otherr action. so what is this really all about? i think we know what this is all about. the democrats have no candidate for president, and they know the only way to stop donald trump from getting reelected is to impeach him. the only impeachable offense they have shown so far is that he got elected president in 2016. every witness that has been asked, even today, name one piece of bribery. they can't name a thing. that is their latest poll tested question because they keep throwing things at the wall and

they have yet to find anything because there is nothing wrong. zelensky antron for the turtle people on the call. both of them said it was a perfectly fine call. zelensky said there was no pressure. the foreign minister of ukraine last week said there wasol no lk between aid and any investigation, and yet they still continue on because they want to undo the results of the 2016 election. they were afraid thatpe donald trump or won reelection because their field is so weak. last week, three more high profile democrats talked about getting into the race for president including deval patrick, who said obama encouraged him. how does joe biden feel about the fact that president obama is encouraging democrats to getnd into the race for president because they have such a weak field? >> sean: to get where we are, matt gaetz, this is where you have to -- you care about russian interference but you ignore the dirty dossier, okay. but in this case, you cared about quid pro quo, then you will ignore joe biden who fired

the ukrainian prosecutor was investigating his son who was being paid millions with zero experience, fire him, you get a billion, don't fire him, you don't get a billion. the very thing that these guys are acting so upset about! they are bragging about and actually happen. i would like millions for doing nothing, too. yet we can't talk about that. how do they bifurcate such hypocrisy in their minds? >> left is able to get away with it because the mainstream media continues to say that the concerns about burisma and w joe biden were debunked, that they were conspiracy theories. the reality is, the testimonials are a very different story. we've heard george kent, we heard a volker, others, very legitimate concerns of president and others t had about the environment and the ukraine and also about burisma specificallye our own embassy even had to pull out of the public-private partnership because of burisma's involvement. what you saw today is that the democrats promised quid pro quo and what we got was bait and

switch.bo they are poll tested punditry said that they should be talking about bribery and we did not hear any witnesses talk about bribery. matter of fact, you heard volker say there was no bribery, the lead guy come with a special envoy. morrison said nothing wrong. williams, on the call, did not even think there was enough wrong about the call to report it to anyone. you know why we are here? they are humiliated over russia. they told us life or two and half years about the president being an agent of the russian government, and instead of saying they were sorry and moving on to passing usmca, working in prescription drug prices, they literally went to the country next door to create a new conspiracy theory about the president and they will be punished by the voters for this. lhe>> sean: thank you both. great analysis. keep fighting hard. the country needs to win this fight. this is madness. joining me now, author, debuting on "the new york times" list, number one best seller, more than two times the sales of the next following book,

donald trump jr. congratulations on the sale of your book, "trigger." >> they are triggered, sean. the title totally justifies itself withh everything we have seen. >> sean: but it's not -- i will ask the same question i asked matt gaetz. you have to bifurcate a real quid pro quo with joe and xerox experience hunter. >> it's a big part of the book. we were talking about it for three years. whatsk i was in the hot seat ovr an unsolicited phone call that ended up in 20 minute meeting. literally millions of dollars, to the son of the vice president, and that is before we talk about china, that's before we start talking about armenia, where even the democratic witnesses say they have no idea what experience or why he is in there. >> sean: he said none. he was asked why did you think they paid you millions? >> hunter's well prep interview with abc, he did not know. he knew the question was coming for weeks. this is how sick it is. i

you see it. they say, we got nothing, we don't know, there's nothing inappropriate, but they are trying again. they are desperately latching onto the russia delusion that they tried to sell the american people in schiff show. it's ridiculous at this point. i'm watching this thing, i'm like, i can't tell if these are our witnesses or there's because if this is their star witness, and their next star witness ands their next star witness, all they are saying is that donald trump -- >> sean: all they are doing is commenting on the transcript that shows nothing wrong. a >> correct. they are doubling down. more part of my, you see adam schiff trying to direct the conversation. he won't let you ask questions. he's told the american people, and so did vindman that they adhave no idea what it was a blw or a spray that is not what i saw. i would like them to be treated like i would be if i lied to congress or if i lied to the american people. it is time that the republicans push for some justice the other way, sean. they are getting away with it and they will keep doing it and steamrolling the republicans

until he pushed back accordingly. this is nonsense. >> sean: you are on the road a lot and i know in your book, congratulations again, but i will tell you, i've been on the road, too, detroit, chicago, everywhere i go, people say, keep fighting. you know what they say next? i get the impression -- i don't> think that your dad has lost a single border. >> knocked one. >> sean: to go to economy, the defeat of isis, the trade deals, the wall, the tax cuts, energy independence -- >> the differences, they see results. this is anotherin guy that is making promises. now he has delivered on those promises. that is the difference between ' 1 16 end '20. despite unprecedented obstruction, despite nancy pelosi not voting on major accomplishments likely usmca, it's been sitting on her desk b for nine months, and she won't vote on it because even though it brings jobs to the american people, her apparent constituents, she doesn't seem

to care too much about that because it also would give trump a win and we can test that. see what they haven't done nothing for three years. the crowds have been huge, number one best seller, did "trigger," amazon.com, bookstores everywhere. where are you appearing? >> we are everywhere. you can see some of the places i have been of moreon importantlyi have been doing 3,000 books a day signing coming to how many people have asked me about impeachment? >> sean: non. >> zero. it's not on their minds. they are saying, -- >> it affects my father, i'm sitting here falling asleep. this credible witness turned out to be -- >> not going to like that. got to tell the truth. >> sean: congratulations. joining is not from a capitol hill, he is the star of today's hearing, congressman jim jordan. walk us through, this is madness that we are now living through. they want us to ignore the whistle-blower, i nonwhistle-blower hearsay whistle-blower who does not qualify toik be a whistle-blowe.

number one. the contract with a congenital liar's office. you are right. no one in the country believes the congenital liar. nobody. how do you ignore hunter and joe? the realwe quid pro quo? >> you are exactly right. this idea that adam schiff initially said the whistle-blower is going to testify and now he says he's not, because of something in between, what happened is the whistle-blower came to his office and we found that out, and now he says, i don't even know what the whistle-blower is. >> sean: jim, i'm watching you every day, and i'm watching all of these witnesses, and we can go through it all but at the end of the day, aren't they all just commenting on the same transcript? is there anybody that has added, anyone witness has added a single thing beyond their own interpretation of the

transcript? >> no. the transcript speaks for itself. several people have said this, you say it all the time, there are four fundamental facts that will never change. have never changed, will never change. d>> sean: explain them slowly. go one, two, three, and four. go slow. because the transcript that shows no linkage, no pressure, no conditionality, no new investigations to get the assistance dollars. we had the two guys on the call. they both said there is no conditionality, no linkage, no pressure, nothing. then we have the fact that the ukrainians did not know that it had been held up at the time of the call and both of our witnesses said they did not know until late august, 29th, the political article. finally, the most important thing is, the ukrainians didn't do anything. no promise, no statement, no investigation, none of that happened, and the aid was released. so those facts will not change. they got to stir it all up and have people say someone said to

someone else and here i am. that is with her case is. as you said, the american people see through it. they know the facts on the president's side and they know this process is entirely unfair. w >> sean: how do you bifurcate your brain as a democrat, which i am asking everybody. how was it possible, joe biden is on tape -- fire theou prosecutor. why would the vice presidentac ever want to fire a prosecutor in ukraine? or you are not getting the money unless you do the act because he was warned that the prosecutor was investigating his son with his io that is paid millions, fire him, you get a billion, don't fire him, you don't get a billion. that sounds like a shakedown bribery, a quid pro quo, and they don't want us to bring that up? this is what they are trying to say happened with donald trump? it is breathtaking hypocrisy. >> sure is. the american people see it for what it is. here's the bottom line, and this

sunday, nancy pelosi called president trump an imposter.nt the speaker of the house calling the president of united states an imposter. that is what drives all of those. the democrats have never accepted the fact that 63 million americans voted for this guy and they want him to come here and shake it up and he won the electoral college landslide and they don't care because they don't trust the american people. that is what this is really all about. they are trying to, within anonymous whistle-blower, with no first-hand knowledge, who worked with joe biden, who everybody knows who this guy is, adam schiff knows him but he won't tell us, they are trying to take out the president 11 and a half months before the next election. that is what drives americans crazy. you are right and don jr. is right. more people will show up and reelected president in another electoral college landslide. >> sean: u, devin john ratcliffe, the congresswoman from new york has been great. you guys are crushing them every day. i can't even believe they a wand

continue the schiff show. i can't believe it but apparently they do. congressman, thank you. great job. when we come back, a lot to get to. they send it to the senate, what happens there? lindsey graham acts as we continue. ♪ good morning, mr. sun. good morning, blair.

b1 democrats quid pro quo, now it's bribery, saying they have shifted from extortion to bribery coming from quid pro quo, once again, facts or grading in the way. here to shake it all out, senate judiciary chairman lindsey graham. i have been asking your colleagues come we've been getting a lot of responses, the federal rules as it relates to the admission of evidence, hearsay, is not going to be allowed in the senate? they all say the same thing, no, that would never be allowed in the senate.

who decides that? would that be the senate making those rules or would it be the chief justice of the supreme court that would preside over this madness? >> it would be the senate. you would have a resolution, have to be passed by 51 votes, setting the terms and conditions of the trial in the senate. that has to be done by senate resolution. what i will insist upon to get my vote is that the federal rules of evidence apply to the case presented in the house, so president trump's defense team could objective-c hearsay. t i think about 95% of testimony falls. the other thing i wanted in the trial resolution is the ability. to confront one's accuser because if you were to call the whistle-blower in the senate, i think you have a right to do that. so that's a person who started all this, and the right to confront your accuser is basic due process. >> sean: thought of the sixth amendment to the u.s. constitution, you are an attorney, i would think that is hebasic and fundamental.

i couldn't imagine the chief justice presiding over this and allowing hearsay evidence that is not admissible in terms of federal law, and i can't believe that the chief justice of the c supreme court would not go along with the very clear, unambiguous language of the constitution. i what i believe that would happen, sir. go goddess at the rules for the trial, got 100-0 resolution regarding the clinton proceedings. i don't think democrats will work with mitch mcconnell, i hope i am wrong. is it too much to ask of president trump, getting the same rights as every other american and a parking ticket case, that you can't get a parking ticket based on hearsay, and you are able to confront the person accusing you of illegal parking? those basic things have to be in thes trial resolution, i believ, and hope we can get 51 votes for the idea i just expressed prior >> sean: okay. you see what's happening over there, i can't get over the arguments they are trying to make about the president.

when we read the transcript, everybody, we are basically interviewing people to talk about the transcript that we all get to read ourselves. what they think of the transcript, it doesn't matter what theypp think in the end abt the transcript because we see that transcript. we also know that ukraine did nothing and they got the money. they did nothing. we also know that the presidenta said of ukraine -- five times, trno pressure.in so we do have the issue of the bidens. i'm having a hard time with that hypocrisy here. how do you -- they all say, nobody's credibility has ever said there is anything wrong here. yeah -- >> nobody has looked. >> sean: i'm looking. what i see is really bad. the very thing they are getting outraged about, joe biden is admitting, billion dollars, fire the prosecutor, you don't get the billion, if you don't, your son gets millions, and he actually said, nope, no experience whatsoever, none, zero. >> here's the argument that

joe biden was asking the prosecutor that he fired because he was corrupt. here's the question -- >> sean: i don't believe it. >> here's the question. all of these phone calls that took place between biden and president come other than president of, most of them occurred after the raid on the gas company by the prosecutor. >> sean: slow down, senator. i want everyone to hear you. the phone calls that should please between the former president of ukraine and joe biden right around the time this was happening, wait a minute, they have transcript of those calls? >> here's what someone needs to ask.on joe biden at the ukraine portfolio. about every month he would call the ukraine. after the raid on the gas company where hunter biden was a board member, they rated the president of the gas company's home. after that, you see i bought-4 phone calls and four or five days between joe biden and the president of the ukraine. then you see the case dropped.

you also see hunter biden's business partners contacting the state department, complaining about the raid on the gas company and saying it was -- this could affect hunter biden. i want somebody to look into that. >> sean: i want the transcripts released. i want the putin-obama transcripts released after the flexibility. i want the obama or randy and ma released -- i have to ask you. december 11th, michael horowitz, that means we will get it hopefully the week before so we can absorb it and not on a friday, no friday dump? >> hope so. i think so. just stay tuned. december 11th will be here before you know it. we'll be out before the hearing.ro >> sean: is this another b.s. or is this the real deal? >> you can put this one in the bag. >> sean: , thank you for all you are doing. if you thought the democrats b were acting very today, wait until you hear what the mob and

the media said about the days at schiff show. later, the fbi has now investigated the death of jeffrey epstein. those circle prison not been arrested. this is getting out of control. a straight ahead. ♪

♪ >> sean: the mob and the media, they can't hide their bias anymore. today's hearings were a total disaster. you were not all that if you watch fake news. take a look. >> this morning, two dedicated public servant speaking truth to power in the face of withering public criticism from president trump and his allies. >> it's absolutely an impressive morning for these witnesses, who, as everyone has pointed out, are slow clearly fact witnesses. >> these are careerh professionals. career professionals.

>> vindman struck me ass the mot devastating we've seen. this is someone who obviously looks the part, is the part. >> look at him. he's in the uniform of the united states army and he almost was emotional at the end of his opening statement. s>> sean: with their impeachment helps fading, the destroyed trump mob and the media now inventing a new conspiracy theory, this time about the president's health. saturday, the president went to walter reed and he became part one of his annual physical exam and also went and saw patients and met with the staff. media challenged the official report. he had a heart attack. take a look. >> i spoke to our chief medical correspondent, who told me the reason could very well be routine but to his physician has some questions. >> was he having some sort of symptoms? no one is addressing that he had symptoms but if someone goes into the hospital a few months early, that would be a reasonable question to ask. >> all of us coming at a very

crucial time for this white house in the middle of the impeachment inquiry and of course, the president has got an uncomfortable relationship, shall we say, with the truth, therefore all of the speculation running rampant. >> we have a president who apparently had a health scare this weekend, though everybody's lying about it. . >> health care this weekend. >> sean: dr. joe, labralpr drill, he knows better than everyone. he with reaction, america first action senior advisor, former "dancing with the stars" a star, former white house press secretary, sean spicer, and media reporter for the hill, joe concha. the president was clear, his doctors, the doctors will give the report like they did last year about the president's weight and blood pressure. apparently, he's in great shape. it seems like he's got a ton of energy. we got remember the part last t year, that was touted as well, that dr. was scrutinized. you place on jacob's death. he had saidel last year that he said that the president had heart disease. how do you do that when you're

diagnosing somebody from afar? everybody is doing -- >> sean: he will look at us and tell us that we have cancer. >> joe scarborough, same things, two years ago, said that the president was suffering from "early onset dementia," that was two years ago, shouldn't we be at another stage? the thing is, there is never going to be any sort of apology or any sort of retraction because the bosses of these networks allow these things to be set and there is no accountability whatsoever, so it's a wild west and the inmates are running the asylum. >> sean: i know you dealt with the mob and the media, i am watching the biggestou liar in e trump-russia collusion witch hunt hoax conspiracy theory was the congenital liar schiff, and now the mob in the media, they are running over the cliff again with what is another hoax conspiracy because none of this meant a thing because we have the transcript. we don't need everybody's

personal interpretation of the transcript the transcript is clear. >> i think that is right. two issues, we are having a conversation about what people heard from someone who heard it from someone when we have a transcript. we can read it, we can decide for ourselves whether or not wei think what the president said crossed a line or not. ssbut he's put out there, he's been very transparent about it. here is what he said, what he said it. he described theai call himself. idea of calling a bunch of witnesses, there's a reason that the democrats have failed and trying to create a spectacle, because everyone knows that they can read the transcript and make a decision for themselves. as i thing, you've touched on it at the beginning of this, the beginning of the segments, what the media has done, whether it is how they are covering this or how they are covering the visit to walter reed, it's just highly irresponsible. would you look at why people are trusting the media, why people are saying a lot of the business models fail at the local us because they are not reporters anymore.

they are speculators, they are funded, they are there to give you your opinion. their opinion is those very one-sided, they give you the liberal point of view. at the end of the day, for the discussion you displayed with a respect for the president's health is nothing short of highly irresponsible. for them to be speculating on his health without any shred of evidence is the kind of behavior that they go after other people for doing when they themselves do it with no basis in fact. it's okay. >> sean: this is a mob. we are watching this unfold, man is at a level i've never seen. we go now they are paying a price. look at viewership for impeachment, day one today two, 1 million viewers lost. donald trump jr. on "w" got one really more viewers on abc than impeachment of the president of the united states. so there is an apathy around this because bombshell after bombshell and there is no result and we know what the ending is going to be, he's going to be acquitted in the senate, only two senators on the republicans

that are going to defect. is mitt romney and pierre delecto, and they count as onell vote. he>> sean: all they are doing is making everyone mad who voted for this president. he's doing his job and they are doing nothing for three years. >> i think it's picking up more people because there are a lot of people that were in the middle that are seeing this happen>> that say, i wasn't sure that i was with him but i am now. >> opposition to impeachment among and impeachments has gone upow ten points. it's now 47 opposed, poorly stpported byos that is 37 last week. this is going to keep changing. >> sean: thank you both by the fbi now investigating the possibility of a criminal enterprise as the death of jeffrey epstein gets weirder and stranger and more bizarre by the second. trace gallagher, geraldo, dan bongino, straight ahead. ♪ pain receptors

the one lost in today's impeachment circus and schiff joe, there have been huge devels cu in the case surrounding the death of jeffrey epstein. trace gallagher is live tonight with the very latest. this is getting really strange. >> jeffrey epstein, as you know, was among the highest profile inmates in the country. two prison guards were stationed 15 feet from his cell. during their 8-hour shift, they should have checked on him in times. they allegedly checked on him zero times. instead, prosecutors say they shopped online, walked around thene common area, and slept. it wasn't until they brought epstein breakfast that he was found unresponsive. that is when they allegedly falsified documents to cover theirt tracks. today the director of the bureau of prisons acknowledged to congress that the guards'

behavior prompted the fbi to conduct a criminal enterprise investigation. she later clarified that so far only the guards appeared to be involved in that case. meantime, house majority leader kevin mccarthy says if abc news does not answer questions about why it reportedly killed an investigation story about jeffreyd epstein, that he would push for congressional hearings. remember, abc anchor amy rohrbach admitted on a hot mic that she had a key epstein witness on tape but the execs would not run it.ld >> sean: trace gallagher, thank you. here with reaction from a "new york times" best seller dan bongino. fox news contributor, fox news correspondent at large, geraldo. you've covered a lot of these cases. the camera shouldn'tng work, the guards were asleep, nothing was in place. then there was the autopsy review, then there was a lot of other things. everything seems to say what is going on here. >> would you consider how many

powerful people breathed a huge sigh of relief from princes to presidents, sean, i initially, like you, put the chance of this being a suicide at near zero. i also thought that the cameras were not working. but the indictments today of the two prison guards, who really were negligent at the veryca least, indicates that the cameras were working and that according to the department of thjustice, the fbi, there waso nobody, no third party went into epstein's itself. there was no assisted suicide, there was no homicide apparent apparently. i don't put it past the reality, the harsh reality, that may be somebody paid the guards to not check on epstein but it does appear from the fact that there was an operating camera in the corner outside the cell, listen, i don't want to believe it. it seems very fishy to me. the famed forensic pathologist said it was a homicide, not a suicide. still, i trust the fbi in this

regard. i will leave them when they say that the two prison guards were just as lazy as he couldou possibly be and didn't even get out of the seat to look 15 feet to check on the guy who had attempted suicide back on july, just a few weeks before he succeeded. i would not be surprised if somebody paid them off to be lazy. that is a theory i still think it's worth. >> sean: dan bongino. >> what would you look for? you would look for in a case like this, being a formal criminal investigator myself, motive. as geraldo stated, motives are everywhere. some of the evidence i'm hearing from sources is that the network of cameras around epstein's operation was pretty significant, which leads me to believe there is probably some significant blackmail material available against a lot of powerful people. having said that, geraldo was right. if you read the charging documents, apparently there is video of the cell that shows

nothing unusual, no one going in a row. you can have all the motives in the world but if you don't have actual suspects showing up to commit the crime, i am open to evidence by being a conservati conservative, being investigator -- >> sean: what about the autopsy saying that the bonds would not break in the next? that dr. has done tens of thousands of those, and i trust him. >> he has. i am in no position as a nonmedical professional to question him. what you are right. it certainly is suspicious. >> sean: geraldo? >> i hold him in the highest regard. he's a dear friend. but i just think that when you see the cameras, it is hard to explain it, any other way than inthe fact that the guy was left alone and the cameras were out. >> sean: the cameras that mattered -- >> not according to thisth indictment.

this indictment changed my mind. i believe, as you do, that the camera was faulty, that the relevant cameras were not operating, but the indictment shows that the cameras were working, no one went in or out. you can put yourself -- >> sean: . xander caught in multiple lies. don't have a lot of time. wow. >> he's a liar. he's already busted companies got the answer to the queen. i'm glad i don't. q . >> sean: last word.en >> prince andrew said he has a medical condition that he couldn't select and then pictures pictures surfaced of him sweating up a storm. so that didn't quite work out for him.. he should have thought that through. just a terrible interview. >> sean: i put my arm around this woman, arms around everybody. terrible. >> he said it's a doctored photo. >> sean: okay, i'll believe that braidwood may come back, rush limbaugh called me out the democrats' have hypocrisy at the schiff show. you don't want to miss this ne

♪ >> sean: early today, rush limbaugh summed up the glarings issues with the schiff show. >> all of it is a hoax. as a continuation of the hoax for three and half years. you want to sound fascinating, folks? neither lieutenant colonel vindman, nor jennifer williams, the star witnesses today who were on the phone call, both of them said they knew nothing. nothing of joe biden threatening the ukrainian prosecutor. these people, in my opinion, and as far as my assumptions are concerned, these people have no credibility whatsoever. in my opinion, they are partisanship is as clear ass it is so much smoke and mirrorsu it is such a web of deceit. there are sacks of manure in front of everybody here. this whole thing is an absolute disgrace. to the country.

it's an insult to the people of this country. in addition to everything else that it is to donald trump. >> sean: is hurting the country.ls it will never be the media mob. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham.s >> laura: i love how rush just cuts right through. hours and hours of testimony, -- >> sean: he nailed it. >> laura: from the beginning we knew it was going to go this way. there were going to oversell and under deliver. they always overpromise and under deliver as a democrat. >> sean: well said.. >> laura: you hit it out of the park again tonight, thanks so much. >> sean: great coverage on your show. i have a great show. >> laura: i am laura ingraham angle from another busy washington night. if you watched today's impeachment marathon you probably heard a lot about how aid to ukraine is desperately important to america's national security. does that make sense to you? newt gingrich answers that question. also, chick-fil-a bowed
