dvr it, if you can. have a great evening. sean hannity is next. see you tomorrow. ♪ >> sean: welcome to this busy news night. special edition of "hannity." we do the job the medium i will never do, expose the radical left that's taken over this democrat party. a lot of news tonight. we'll have all the highlights from the president's big weekend at the daytona 500, became the first president in american history to take a lap in, well, we call it the beast and for good reason. first, let's turn it over to an important hannity 2020 investigation. with quid pro quo joe's embarrassing campaign imploding, democratic party, they thought they had plan b. that name was michael bloomberg, the former new york city mayor has unlimited resources. already spent according to the "washington examiner" over

$417 million up to this point and really what has been nothing more than a slick marketing ad campaign. by the way, "the new york post" is calling at the wizard of odd campaign with his record is hiding behind the curtain and tonight as we are about to reveal, that record is sick beyond disgusting shocking allegations from various lawsuits, other accounts including one legal complaint from saying that bloomberg encouraged her to get an abortion so he wouldn't miss work for just kill it, his words, 1995. after she informed him he was pregnant, he allegedly h responded, kill it. the plaintiff asked bloomberg to repeat himself and he said, kila it. muttered, great.f number 16 suggesting to the plaintiff that he was unhappy that 16 women in the company have maternity related status. kill it? response to an employee

announcing something as amazing and beautiful and wonderful as pregnancy? there is more. according to the complaint,if bloomberg is accused of making some of the worst reprehensiblee comments to an employee who had just given birth and was having trouble finding child care. in front of her colleagues bloomberg allegedly said, quote, it's a bleeping baby. all it says is eat and bleep. all you need is some black who doesn't even have to speak english to rescue it from a burning building. bloomberg denied making these remarks, but it does fit a terrible pattern that is not merging. there is not ample evidence of bloomberg's file, arrogant, elitist, and at times downright racist rhetoric including hismp disgusting comments from 2015 o when he said, the only way to prevent crime is to throw minority kids up against the wall and frisk them. as he put it, all the police, well, we are only arresting kids from marijuana smoking, only minority kids, because that's

where all the crime is. criminals, murders, they fit one m.o., pass it out to all the cops. pretty sick stuff. listen. >> murderers and murder victims. it's true in your, it's true in every city. why do we do it, throw them up against the wall and asked them. >> these disturbing comments do not end there. bloomberg caught on tape telling a group of people that they should deny to medicare. >> not only do we have a problem, which things we are going to do, which things we are

not, nobody wants to do that? you show up, canceled, you are 95 years old. we can say, go and enjoy it. with a long life. can't do it. if you are a young person, you should do something about it. >> sean: you pass life expectancy? go home and die. do you think bloomberg would apply that standard to himself? i doubt it. i doubt he would spare no expense. he would utilize every procedure available to extend his life. becourse, he's not going to applying the same standards to his fellow elderly americans rely on medicare. that's only the tip of the iceberg. in addition to making insulting remarks about the elderly, minority, women's, bloomberg by the way he looks down on american farmers in what some of the most arrogant language andlo ignorant language i've heard it. forget that we have the most advanced agriculture farmers,

workers, anywhere in the world farming in today's america is beyond a sophisticated science. you study it in college but we are blessed to have the best farmers on earth. bloomberg thinks anyone can do it, throw a little seat in b the ground, give it some water. really? think it's that easy, mike? why don't you try it. in bloomberg's world, farmers are dumb. saying they need more gray matter between the ears. this is frankly repulsive. take a listen. >> agrarian society lasted 3,000 years, i could teach anybody, even people in this room, some no offense intended, to be a farmer. it's a process. you dig a hole, put dirt on top, add water, comes out the corn. you can do that. the information economy is fundamentally different because it's built around replacing people with technology and the skill sets you have to learn on

how to think and analyze and that is a whole degree of level difference, you have to have a lot more gray matter. >> sean: anyone can farm. put a seat in the ground, bury it, water it, up pops the corn but you need more gray matter! that's what you need. talk about an ivory tower of elitism. bloomberg has no idea, zero idea obviously, what goes on in theis highly technical, sophisticated, advanced, agricultural industry that feeds all of us in a big portion of the world as well for this level of ignorance is shocking, appalling, his condescension is almost breathtaking and believable. almost covertly absurd, comments about illegal immigration, catch this.va bloomberg told a friend of mine

john, you like golf, i like golf, who is going to take care of the greens and cut the fairways on the golf course. by the way, for the record, the level of knowledge that's needed to be a good groundskeeper, green's keeper? there is sophisticated science behind all of that. by the way, of the greens keeper gets paid a fortune. very few people can do a good job at it. by the way, no one's open borders. went on spanish-language tv, open borders, pathway to citizenship with those who did not respect our laws. the tens of thousands of americans killed every year. they don't close the borders. let's say, oh, the 90% of her when that comes in this country crosses the southern border. americans killed by violentf cartels or the extreme financial burden, they'll make that illegal immigration is costing we the american people.io

so he can have cheap labor so his greens get taken care of and is fairways get cut? well, they've got to remain in peak condition. that's his priority. bloomberg is so painfully out of touch that even when he tries to relate to voters, he comes off as frankly, hate to say it, weird and beyond arrogant. watch. >> i wished my mother live long enough to see a crowd like this but what should say to me, don't let it go to your head. every day i say, what you do, she'd say i played scrabble today. i say, who you played with, the housekeeper. did you win? of course. i said, the housekeeper is throwing the game to you. that's an outrage.e. she is by saying, if you you learn to play scrabble, you'd learn how to spell. >> sean: don't you know theo housekeeper lets you win, mom. mother dear. really? you are going to try to buy the

democratic nomination? one thing you cannot buy, mike, is charisma, sincerity, being in touch bit obvious during his performance during the annual charity dinner in york, can't make this all up. >> i'll tell you where i'm going. first, iowa. then new hampshire. maybe i can get the whole country to behave! i'm running for the crowd vote is very important. >> sean: here we have it.m mini mike, mary poppins. the brand you savior of the radical extreme socialist democratic party, making disparaging remarks about women in the workplace, especially when expecting a brilliant child to be born. by the way come up disparaging m women with young children for

far worse, comments about womenn i can't say on television. he has trash minorities and minority neighborhoods continually. basically admitted he only wanted crime look for in minority neighborhoods. insinuating that farmers need more gray matter and are stupid. he's now supporting illegal immigration, cheap labor to take care of his greens and mow his fairways, and he has the stage presence and charisma of paint trying on the wall. including an exclusive report from matt drudge, let's go for the trifecta. bloomberg seriously considering twice failed the presidential candidate hilary clinton as his running mate. the campaign hired a top clinton ally. the person in need of more gray matter would be bloomberg himself. one person excited about a bloomberg-hilary ticket, that hilary clinton.

make no mistake, the democratic party is in that level of complete and utter chaos and desperation. he with more, our own trace gallagher. >> sean, a lot of people trying to knock this down but "the drudge" report maintains a source close is that michael hillary clinton as a running mate. this weekend, the bulbar campaign try to downplay itg saying, we are focused on the primary and the debate, not vp speculation. recently hillary clinton herself was asked by ellen's generous if you considered being vp and said, quoting here, i would be serving my country, but others say the and vice president from living in same state, but matt drudge wrote bloomberg himself would change the official residence from new york to homes he owns in colorado or florida since the electoral college makes it hard for a president and vice president to be for the same state. o we should note the real clear

politics average of national polls have bloomberg running third behind joe biden and bernie sanders. >> sean: trace gallagher with the latest on mini mike mary poppins. ganging up on the former new york city mayor. the infighting reached to a boiling point.g this is just a start, by the way. >> $60 billion can buy you a lot of advertising, but he cannot erase your record for there's a lot to talk about with michael bloomberg. >> he has not gone in the sunday shows as he's announced that he's just running and i don't think you should be able to hid. behind the ads. >> how troubled are you by these allegations and this evidence of alleged sexism and racism? >> well, i think he's going to have to answer for that and speak to it. this is a time where voters are looking for a president who can lead us out of the days when

commonplace and expected to have these kind of sexist and discriminatory attitudes. >> the simple truth is within mayor bloomberg with all of his money will not create the kind of excitement and energies that we need to have the voter turnout we must have defeat donald trump.s >> sean: mini mike, mary poppins bloomberg is hitting at one of his opponents, the bloomberg campaign attacked sanders and their opponents for their conduct on social media. how dare you. by the way, don't drink a big gulp and put salt on your food either. take a look. [bellringing] >> it's vitally important for those of us who hold different views to be able to engage in a civil discourse.

>> sean: right before our very eyes, you're watching the democratic party developing enough along civil war/ef hard-core supporters, bernie sanders supporters, and bloomberg back, democratic establishment which is now allegedly looking for ways to rake the primary against bernie again. shocker. a much different picture from the other side of the aisle. the republican party rallying around president trump. made a historic trip to the date of hundred. for the very first time, the president's limo, that car is known as the beast took a lap around the track, a tale of two americas on display. on one side a president fighting for all americans in achieving record after record. the forgotten men and women who hillary clinton called irredeemable deplorables. on the other side, you've got this most radical group of socialist extreme democrats thaa

are doing, well, whatever they can to divide americans to win and election. with reaction, reince priebus,iv tammy bruce. on the political side of this, let's look at the democratic party.. a coalition party. they like to say that they appeal to minorities. look at the comments there. do they appeal to women voters. look at his comments there. do they appeal to older americans? great, you're 95. go home. you are done. no care for you. the gay and lesbian communityan insulted too according to these articles. >> farmers fit in that category as well appear this is the old fdr coalition where there was of bringing together of a variety of different kinds ofd individuals which is what you need in this country. that's the point of the electoral college. it's the point of having a republic.al what's extraordinary here and this is vital for democrats especially, here you've got the old establishment of

hillary clinton, clearly revealing a very few people who control the dynamic up to a few points. next in line, and it's exploded like it was exploitive for the republicans. for the democrats, what you are seeing is the curtain pulled back are the lies that have fed this dynamic for the last several generations now for the democrats. they've told you one thing and doing another. i think michael bloomberg is great in that he finally reveals that ugly core of the lies that have driven this party to create a dumpster fire of a country as it manifested through barack obama and the democratic establishment and you get that for the contempt for the people you represent. it's the ultimate lie and thisis is what bloomberg represents. he has contempt for everyone but himself. democrats are seeing it, but the

nation must see it as well as a difference between the democratic party and what the americans in general want. it's a danger sensibility and the republicans have a chance to get that true. >> sean: to me and something profound here. racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, dirty air and water and growth or any over the cliff after she spent years eating, donald trump ran in 2016 sing to minority voters saying, what if we got to lose? he set record after record. his policies have been working. can you hear it with michael bloomberg, you are unredeemable deplorables, smelly walmart trump supporters. this is the elite arrogant party that helps nobody but themselves. >> battling between themselves what they crave so much, how

much of themselves and their own integrity who is willing to sacrifice and get behind a guy like bloomberg and that's where you saw in the weekend this t early tease of a running mate. they are teasing this up because they need to buttress bloomberg's identity with the democrat party because he cannot run in the economy. as you said, the trump economy is humming. now he's pretending that he's a bleeding heart, which he is on a lot of issues like guns and everything else, but pretending he's a bleeding heart on all these issues looking awkward, as you say, but coming across as a complete phony. that dog won't hunt in the democrat party, sean. >> sean: really, put a seed in the ground, cover it with dirt, what an idiot. here's my question, tammy, what's up a lot all of this?

>> you notice that it started with the deplorables for you thought it was with hillary but it's a reflection of what the party believes, what the infrastructure believes bid that we are illiterate, incredulous rubes. the elite represent it by the democrats reflect. democrats, the democratic base, really classical liberals. they want what everybody else wants, a great future in this family, the end two wars, end to the division in this country, and this is an invaluable relegation beyond this election, who are we going to become as a country, continue to whether you like him in the beginning or not, a man who made promises them, we've all got flaws and all made mistakes, but he's a man who clearly at least hasot grown to love this country.

>> sean: i don't think he has grown... >> them campaign in 2016, this is an extraordinary country and to have that experience and to love the american people? that makes a difference and that's what the democrats do not have. >> sean: trump has always said he's a blue-collar american. but he done that we can see how he resonates with these crowds, reince. and bloomberg as a result of all these comments, i'm sure there are more to come. >> they'll be piling on. republicans are going to pile on, opposition research is going to be a drip, drip, drip, all the democrats are piling on. this is the best number of the week. 90% of americans happy with their lives. it is very difficult for them to beat president trump as it is,

let alone with this chaos that they've got brewing on their side of the aisle. >> sean: guys, thank you. when we come back, joe biden... you got quid pro quo joe russian it's getting worse. he's losing steam in south carolina south carolina, socialist bernie sanders gaining momentum. efforts to read the primary again against him. lindsey graham, will get to ther bottom of what is known as operation crossfire hurricane. piers morgan speaks out about the corrupt media in america. that's all coming up straight ahead. ♪ at we used to love going out with julia and mike,

minority kids for marijuana, pretty shocking. "the washington post" about women killed a baby and on top of that is positions and you are 95, you deserve to die? great position for a president. >> it's a really strange triple bank shot that bloomberg could skip all of these early races. granted, he's got a lot of money. s mike bloomberg is a really terrible politician. he doesn't connect with people. those commercials, they look great. that's fine very well and dandy. but campaigning is something different. the second he gets on a debate stage or had to actually talk to regular people, i think the whole facade is going to fall apart. what that shows you, just shows

you how desperate democrats are. shows you how they despise bernie sanders. they would rather have mike bloomberg come in and buy up the democratic nomination. >> sean: so of the question is will african-americans, how will they react to these comments? how will women react to these comments? if we look at a coalition party of the democratic party, also slurs against gays and lesbians. how will that coalition react? final word from you, charlie? >> also they resurfaced about farmers, how farmer just isn't hard, you don't have to use your brain. things that he is above everyone. if you are not like bloomberg,ey you are not good enough for him. his affinity towards totalitarianism as well is enough to make anyone a little bit scared of a bloomberg presidency. >> sean: charlie, last word.

but i agree with the attorney general. he needs to do his thing alone, he rightfully said the president never asked him to do anything. here is the thing. will we get justice? we know premeditated fraud at as fisa court occurred. we know hillary obstructed when she deleted subpoenaed email with bleach, pins, and hammers. we know because bill barr told us spying on a presidential campaign, transition team deep into donald trump's presidency. i actually have competence it's going to work out but why is ita so much slower? >> there's a process in place and i do not want to repeat he's going to do the right thing by the country. i want to make sure that operation cross fire won't happen again. the four frontline mueller prosecutors were asking for 7-9 year sentence that was totally unjustified.

there was no threat to a witness that would justify increasing the three and a half and four and a half of recommendations from the guidelines. the four prosecutors were the ones who were overzealous and bill barr rightly corrected that. >> sean: general flynn, looks like is going to get to the bottom of that. >> he's got a separate person looking at flynn. i think flynn was abused here.er i think the entire white house interview was a set up, but will let the system work. here's the i'm not a prosecutor. durham will do that. the public needs to know that operation cross fire was not used to protect the trump campaign, it was used to destroy it, horwitz said there was no evidence of bias when it was first opened but it was murky later on. here's what i'm trying to prove, it reeked of political bias. i want to make sure that no fisa warrant issued is like carter page, the system will have more

checks and balances. my goal is to make sure this never happens again to any other campaign in anybody like carter page. >> sean: why do i think that if i had deleted emails or subpoenaed emails and i deleted them and i cleaned forensically my computer hard drive, i go to jail for it why do i believe that if i committed premeditated fraud and lie before a court, i would be in jail? i think there's a real question of, wow, we know these things happened. why does it have to be all-encompassing at once instead of, hey, you got the evidence? charge him. >> let's talk about mccabe for a moment. horwitz said he lacked candor, mccabe did, regarding an interview with the horwitz team. the barr people said it didn't amount to a reasonable doubt process crime.e. they were looking at flynn to see if was really treated.

them up like he was as the number one show across the pond in the morning, i watch your show. your show is killer. i'm glad you are there and not up against me anymore. thank god. but -- all right, we've counted, like, 300 appearances of this guy and the only reason they wanted him on is that he would just trash trump even after the julie swetnick debacle of avenatti, they kept having this up. >> apologies for my boys, by the way. i'm trying to survive a brutal english winter. i get to california and immediately get a stinking cold. makes me sound more like morgan freeman then piers morgan. my apologies.i michael avenatti, just looking at him and listening to him, he was like a refugee from the set of "prison break."." he just screamed sleaze ball. he was popping up on cable news. not fox, i might add, maybe two

or three times a day. they were treating him like he was this extraordinary superman like savior who has come to rescue the world from devastating donald trump. the more he talked, the more clear it was never about his client stormy daniels who he completely in my view destroyed. he destroyed her reputation, destroyed her life, took her money. and rather than look after his clients, what he was doing was really boosting himself. making himself out to be something which he was eminently unqualified to be. i think it's a stain on the u.s. media who fell for this. time and again, sean, the pump this guy up on the airwaves as if he was something special and then they said he's going to run for president. really, this sleaze ball is going to run for president? it was completely ridiculous at

the time. as i said in my tweet, a lot of egg on a lot of faces but as you pointed out, very few people with egg literally dripping down their heads are prepared to sit there and admit that we got this completely wrong and it was actually horrific journalism on our part to give this guy such a massive platform. >> sean: piers, i'm a talk show host. i do fun stuff too. here's the thing for it while they were doing russia, russia, russia, what did we discover? hillary clinton, the email servers, there was russianwh interference, and mi6 guy hired, for national. we got it right on this whole fisa warrant, premeditated warrant on this fisa court. they got none of the story about

fisa abuse right. they spectacularly ignored quid pro quo joe and zero experience hunter. and i'm a talk show guy. i do all of that.jo i'm like a whole newspaper. do it all. they say they are journalist. that's a big difference. >> this trump derangement system, i think it's a real thing. i watch a lot of news now want to come over from the states and in england, i can't believe how natively partisan it's become. cnn left to say that you guys are partisan, but what about the way they tell it? what about the way they use somebody like avenatti to go off trump an entire year. he was somebody who was prepared to trash the president. >> do you see anything except anti-trump on these other cable networks, broadcast networks?

>> i think it's a real disservice to american people. they've got to have somewhere to go and it used to be cnn. not saying there's any pleasure or any pride, i used to love working at cnn. i've got many friends at cnn but i honestly watch is sometimes in my mouth is on the floor because when i was there you are not allowed to be this partisan. you are not allowed to be sneering all the time in an obvious politically skewed way. you don't have to like president trump but there has to be surely some semblance of an attempt at impartiality or fairness. i think it's all gone out of the water. trump delivers massive ratings for these networks. he delivers massive circulation numbers. they know they are getting all that money and all that attention and all those viewers and so on. they are getting them with a constant dial of trump bashing.a

to feed that beast, they need people like michael avenatti to come on morning, noon, and night and say what kind of monster donald trump is but donald trump is not perfect. m he has his flaws, but he's not the person they keep tellingng other viewers all day long that he is. i think this avenatti story hopefully will give them pause to just stop for a moment and be more aware of who they are putting on and why they are putting them on. >> sean: do you know what, peers, policies are working. numbers are spectacular. feel better.r. congratulations. the number one morning show in great britain. this is pretty hilarious for barack obama trying to take credit for donald trump's economy. we have the whole back and forth next as we continue. ♪
