how? >> tucker: one of the great debate assessments effort. dave portnoy, barstool sports, thank you great to see you. back tomorrow from 8:00 p.m., the throat with a sworn enemy of mine, verbosity, smugness and groupthink. sean hannity takes over the hour now. >> sean: thank you. a lot of news tonight and welcome to hannity. a lot to cover, nikki haley will be here tonight, our own lawrence jones, our 2020 correspondent caught up with quid pro quo joe and we had the exclusive. and tonight i will go one-on-one with, yes, our radical, far left new york city mayor bill de blasio and his opinions on bloomberg and on bernie sanders but we start tonight in south carolina. my credit party is in a state of shambles. 251 days until you, we, the american people, you will be the ultimate jury, you will render your verdict. democrats are in the midst of a full-blown political crisis. last night's debate was a national embarrassment. that put the candidates on

stage, frankly just made fools of themselves. they screamed, they shouted, they lied, they complain, they wind, and apparently it was amateur hour over at cbs news, the moderators lost any and all sense of any control. "the daily beast" calling it a train wreck. member "the new york times" editorial board comparing that to a dumpster fire. even debbie dingell refer to it as a disgrace. that's her party. in the nation, by the way, wrote that there were no winners, only survivors. in case you missed all the fun, is a perfect recap of last nig night's democratic debacle debate, take a look. >> [inaudible] >> [inaudible] >> we've got to open this up. universal health care. >> donald trump -- [inaudible] >> klobuchar. >> new topic. senator klobuchar.

if you could honor the rules of the debate, thank you. >> sean: it was pretty much like that all night but during the rare occasion when these petulant losers were able to say a few uninterrupted words, it was even worse. we will start with a clear front runner and that would be bolshevik bernie sanders. last night the old soviet style socialist really got back to his communist routes. he didn't have a single positive thing to say about america, but once again he goes out of his way to praise cuba's oppressive socialist government. you know, the one where they killed people, stole the property, and put pretty much all their citizenry in poverty. take a look. >> what i said is what barack obama said in terms of cuba. that cuba made progress on education. >> these programs are bad. what barack obama said as they made great progress on education and health care. that was barack obama. and when dictatorships, whether

it is the chinese or the cubans do something good, you acknowledge that. >> sean: there may have been a few scattered boos in the audience but bolshevik bernie is now the clear torchbearer of the democratic socialist party. this is a lifelong government employee. three houses, despises capitalism, hates anyone that's it successful praises communism, vilifies success and associates with, some of the most vile activists in the united states. for example, known bigot, there she is, national surrogate for bernie sanders. she is a despicable virulent anti-semite. she supports sharia law, praises, yep, louis farrakhan and the nation of islam. rapid anti-semite and racist mama blames her negative image on the jewish media. there's no wonder bolshevik bernie directs so much vitriol towards israel at the debate, he even called israel's government racist. and bolshevik bernie is a

walking, talking 78-year-old disaster for the entire democratic party. he represents what is the ugly truth about just how radical, how extreme this new socialist democratic party has become. and now, by the way, the mob and the media, they are worried across the country might be totally unelectable. we could have told you that before this all started. in other words, this new schiff show. >> i was disappointed with bernie's answer. >> the question about cuba. he will continue to give that answer that he gave to you, then he'll give it -- i'll give it again tonight and then he'll dig himself a deeper hole. >> bernie sanders did not seem to me to be quite at the top of his he just seemed a little bit off . >> bernie sanders, this isn't the first time he's really gotten roughed up a little bit

he didn't like it. >> bernie was rattled. >> bernie was rattled for the first time. >> democrats who are terrified of nominating bernie are desperately searching for plan b , c, and d. joe doesn't win big in south carolina i think we could prett much say his campaign is over but so far, he has underperformed in every single contest to date. one simple reason, he is a horrific candidate let's forget about the baggage for a moment and focus on something on something else. if he ever had a softball he lost that to. the man can barely get out a sentence before he loses his train of thought. to fits of anger, bizarre moments, agitation are pretty troublesome. he just seems completely incapable of recalling basic fundamental facts like zero, i'

running for president, not the senate. last night's debate we got another strange and inexplicabl rant, joe claimed that 150 million americans have been killed again since 2007. 150 million, that would be half the u.s. population. take a look. >> 150 million people have been killed since 2007 when bernie voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability. more than all of the wars including vietnam from that point on. carnage on our streets. >> sean: quid pro quo joe clearly not up to the task of running for president, much less actually serving as president. that is a scary thought. meanwhile, billionaire michael, yes, mini mike former bloomberg was supposed to be the democrats' plan b. let's say it's not going very well. let's say, the new york expert from new york delivered another horrific debate performance

during a pretty revealing freudian slip. bloomberg actually boasting that he bought the democratically controlled house. wow, he thinks he can buy anything. amazing, take a look. >> let's go on the record. they talk about 40 democrats, 21 of those with people i spent $100 million to help elect. all the new democrats that came in and put nancy pelosi in charge and gave the congress the ability to control this president, i got that. >> sean: mini mike -- he can buy slick political ads but not charisma, personality or a coherent agenda that will resonate with the american people. whole, your 95 and have cancer? goodbye, go home to your family. we're not going to take care of you, we can't afford that. there's no amount of money they can purchase a personal connection with the voters. that is why bolshevik bernie is winning in the polls.

it is now bernie's race to lose. god help us, whoever gets the nomination if they are to ever win. that's why in 251 days, there is a lot at stake. joining us now from the campaign trail, 2020 correspondent, he is everywhere, fox news contributor lawrence jones. you've got a lot of frequent flyer miles. this job has been very good to you. >> we are doing it all for the audience. good evening, thank you so much for having me. everyone agrees that last night's debate was a travesty. both sides of the aisle agree, and earlier today i got the opportunity to attend a prayer breakfast and i asked people what they thought about last night's debate performance and he got the opportunity to ask them also what they thought about bloomberg's racially charged comments. take a look at what they had to say. >> what did you think about the debate last night?

>> very interesting, very interesting. very confusing. >> i wish the candidates would spend a little bit more time talking about the issues versus each other. >> mayor bloomberg made some past comments about african-americans when it came to stop and frisk. said there were young minorities and young males, threw them against the wall. a lot of inflammatory comments. if he was a candidate, could you support him? >> i hate to say who i'm supporting right now, but i really wasn't in favor of those remarks. the bible teaches us to forgive but this date and time, that is a lot >> i can forgive it but i don't know that i would necessarily cast the vote for him. i think it speaks volumes. >> sean, you alluded to earlier today about biden had a rough night. political insiders say that it's a must win for joe biden. i had a chance to talk to him about if it is a must win for

him and if he thought bernie sanders' comments about fidel castro were right and should the party condemn it. >> is south carolina most win for you? >> were going to win south carolina. >> what are your thoughts on bernie sanders praising fidel castro? should democrats condemn the? >> i'm not a big castro fan, i will put it that way. >> should all democrats condemn including bernie sanders? should he be clear on that? >> i don't think he should ever give praise to dictators. >> as you can see, he didn't sa that the party should condemn it , he said that he would condemn it a lot of folks that are political insiders are saying that a lot of people in the florida community, the cuban community were very offended by bernie sanders' comments and bernie sanders has yet to apologize for this. many people are saying he may even be affected in south carolina with minorities because they wonder how he feels about them as well, so we will

see saturday when the votes are cast. >> sean: the big question is, you are our 2020 correspondent on the ground, you had quid pro quo joe, did you put in a few good words for your buddy sean hannity and say why don't you go on my buddy sean's show? >> i've been trying to get them to come out, we always invite him to, but you sent me on the road to do some of your dirty work for you. >> sean: share the love, that's all i'm saying. i'm not going to hold my breath. lawrence jones, great job. >> sean: well, i missed it. i wanted to hear what he said. that's okay, joining me now, florida former florida governor, nikki haley is with us, thank you governor for being with us. good to see you. it's really coming down to -- >> great to be with you. >> sean: that when everything free, college is free, health care is free, everything is free, although i must say

mayor bloomberg has a very unique plan. if you reach a certain age, the not going to give you any health care, go home and die, which is very interesting but anti-second amendment, higher taxes, burdensome regulation, some version of getting us off of oil and gas, the lifeblood of our economy, quickly, which is a bad idea, and it socialism versus me. >> you know, it's amazing because my time at the united nations, i saw countries that literally had to deal with socialism every day. and seeing the poverty and seeing the starvation and seeing the misery, they would've loved to have been in america. and they would've loved to have the freedoms we have. the idea that the forerunner of the democratic party is a self-avowed socialist and that bernie sanders is going to be their poster child of the democratic party, that is absurd. and what i can tell you is that there is not a socialist country anywhere that think socialism is

a good thing. you can look at all the countries that have ever tried it. they goes quick to capitalism as they possibly can and what i don't understand is capitalism has lifted up more people out of poverty in the history of the world. and if you look 200 years ago and look at our ancestors and you look at where we are today, 200 years ago, 94% of the world was in extreme poverty. today, it's 10%. that is because of capitalism. we were here today at cpac and we've been telling people, when he think of capitalism think of freedom, because that is what it is. >> sean: all these promises, we're going to take away every word, every fear we have come up are going to forgive student loans, and take care of your health care, retirement, government guaranteed job and straight on down the list, womb to the tomb society. a good friend of mine, one of

the great pioneers of talk radio often says there's never been a country in the history of man that has accumulated more power, abused it less than the u.s., and i say, there's never been a country in the history of man that has accumulated more power and used it to advance the human condition and has been able to in the united states. and it's because of freedom. i think it might be appealing -- oh, all your fears are gone. there's never been an instance where that has been fulfilled. these are false promises, the mass does not add up. $100 trillion in ten years, we don't take in $100 trillion. >> and basically socialism is saying that you're going to allow the government to take over the economy. you're going to allow the government to decide what you should think, what you should feel, how it should happen. giving the government that much control, when have we ever seen the government do something right? by nature, the government is there to facilitate, it is not meant to actually take over these things.

terribly dangerous that now we are seeing socialism being praised in universities, in congress. now in the private sector, they're saying they're going to get more involved in public issues. the last thing we need is for big business to be in bed with, you know, trying to get involved with public policy. that is not what we need. they need to stick to doing business and stay out of the way. what we are seeing is an absurd idea that socialism is the way of the future, and you know what, we don't need to sit there and talk about socialism. we need to defend capitalism. that is what this comes down to and south carolina, when the textile industry left, everyone was left not knowing what to do or how to do it. it wasn't socialism that brought south carolina out of that bad economy, it was capitalism, and you see their building cars, their building industry, more people are working than ever before. that is because of capitalism, that's how it works.

>> sean: governor, well said. have fun at cpac. i will be there with the vice president tomorrow. thank you for joining us. let me warn you, the most dangerous place to be in america is between a camera, a television camera, and that guy. that's right, chuckie schumer. he will do pretty much anything for any attention and like most democrats, they were going to let a crisis go to waste. schumer, many of his colleagues were trying to use the coronavirus to bludgeon president trump. not telling the truth as usual. shameless politicizing of health and the well-being of americans, and despite what you are hearing from them and the mob in the media, the trump a administration has been aggressively responding to the corona outbreak for quite a while. as a matter fact, i asked the president about that during my super bowl interview on february 2nd. the administration enacted strict, proactive measures to contain the virus.

meanwhile, an american drugmaker just developed the first preliminary coronavirus vaccine. let not your heart be troubled, there are only 60 confirmed cases of corona in the u.s. zero deaths. most of those infected are americans who were patrioted after contracting the illness abroad and tonight, the president had this to say about how your government is responding and how seriously they are taking it. >> the number one priority from our standpoint is the safety of the american people because the risk is very low. we have the greatest experts in the world, really in the world right here. people who are called upon by other countries when things like this happen. we are ready to adapt and we are ready to do whatever we have to as the disease spreads, if it spreads. >> hannity: all right, here

with reaction, fox news contributor, jason. let me begin with you. now, president pointed out, i think we always have to be concerned. i knew and i remember asking the president, have you been in contact with the president in china? it seemed like they had been hiding it for a while. he says, i have offered all our great scientists and experts to be available to them and to anybody else. he was taking it seriously. also, something the democrats didn't like, the countries that have a high percentage of people that are contracting the virus, they are not coming to the united states. democrats did not particularly like that. we will start with an initial 2.5 billion. the flu kills 25,000 people to 69,000 people a year in the last ten years, 360,000 people died. i don't like the fearmongering. of course, we've got to be concerned.

of course, we have the best scientists. but why do people rush to politicize even something like this? >> well, sean, you saw as chuck schumer and others, they literally wake up every day and say, what can we blame president trump for? if the sun rises, he will blame him. he has been very keenly focused on addressing this crisis. he put vice president pens in charge of this and that shows that he wants the highest levels of government directly involved in doing everything they can to protect american citizens. that's what president trump said. that's what his focus has been. it's also what vice president pence's focus has been. look, i've been in briefings for weeks and weeks on this issue. a week and a half ago, i was in a briefing at the white house with the top health officials are president trump's in administration who are aware of every aspect of this. they have been trying to work with china.

frankly, china has not been very cooperative over working with us to let us know what's really going on in china. but in the meantime, the president has been focused on keeping americans safe and i think it shows the fact that he has been aware and focused on making sure that we can address this issue properly. congress has a role to play and we are going to have that debate here in the next few weeks. by the way, when i was in the bipartisan briefing at the white house a week ago, not one democrat raise any concern about the white house response. so, when chuck schumer tries to politicize it, when trump is in india, in a foreign country, just yesterday. how often does that happen when a president is in a foreign country, typically you let the president go and represent our country on a foreign stage. only chuck schumer would try to politicize that. president trump is doing a good job keeping americans safe and let's make sure our best health officials are on top of this led by the vice president, making sure we are dealing with this.

>> hannity: look, it's the type of thing you want to be prepared or you want to be ready. one of the problems, congressman, it's contagious. it's airborne. even in the incubation. matt, you don't even know if you have contracted the virus. you can still transmit the virus. it seems like china did not, was not particularly open and honest with early numbers and figures. did not want or seek the world's help, which they should have. this president offered immediately when it became an issue. 2.5 billion is a lot of money. i'm sure the president will find the appropriations for that as well. >> they're are billions of dollars that are already in the appropriations process. and as the president properly pointed out, 15 years in the making come of these medical professionals have been laying the foundation for this. i thought he did a masterful job of laying out the risks, sane people need to be vigilant, take proper precautions, just basic

sanitary issues like washing your hands. but there is no need to panic like nancy pelosi and chuck schumer want you to do. i thought the political invasion that schumer and pelosi put on top of this conference as a precursor was just so wrong. i really like when president trump said, really? at this point can't we just, this of all things, be united and let's protect the american people? i think that is above and beyond schumer and pelosi. >> hannity: i've been saying it and nobody been listening. if he cured cancer, they would probably impeach him for curing cancer, because he would probably talk to a russian about it. thank you both for being with us. mayor bill de blasio, live in studio. why is he supporting bernie sanders and why not mike bloomberg? that is next, straight ahead. ♪

higher concentration of crime, more police resources. it's about people. that's not how he defined it. >> they are male minorities. it's true in new york. it's true in virtually every city. and that's where the real crime is. people say, oh, my, you are arresting kids for marijuana. they are all minorities. yes, that's true. why? because we put all the cops in minority neighborhoods. >> hannity: you followed him. is not racist to you? >> sure. thank you for playing that for your millions of viewers,

because now more people can see who he really is. that policy divided a community. >> hannity: i don't even think it's a policy. he is saying all crime, only minorities, only arresting minorities, because that's where all the crime is. >> he's totally out of touch with the people in his own city when he says that. it's derogatory. it's unfair. it's not truthful. but on top of that, what happened? it made it hard for them to be on the same page. look, if you are stopped, you are a law breaker for your whole life. you are a young person. you get stopped. >> hannity: he said throw them up against the wall. >> look, what it does is it takes away any sense of self-esteem. people came to him, clergy, elected officials. they said, please, it isn't working. it's hurting us. he disdained them.

>> hannity: let me play this, now. >> we ended that policy and for six years, crime has gone down. relationships have gotten better. we have added 2,000 officers. >> hannity: we need to protect our cops better. >> and we do. gotten pretty much all of them. he said, bloomberg said, oh, if you don't you stop and frisk, you won't be safe. we got rid of it. we got safer. we are now able to have that respectful positive relationship with the community. >> hannity: let me play, now, everyone has a health care plan. bloomberg has his own plan. basically, the death penalty. you have outlived your usefulness. your expected age you are going to live, your life expectancy. go home and die. that's his policy. listen to this. >> at the rate we are going, not

only do we have a problem, we say which things and we are going to do and which things we are not. if you show up with prostate cancer and you are 95 years old, we should say go, live a long life. there's no cure. if you are young person, we should do something about it. >> hannity: go home and die? >> sean, that's what we call bedside manner right there. we saw it in the two debates. this guy has no connection to people. look, one of the things you and i talked about come with that millions of viewers who are working americans, everyday people. i want to talk to them too. we should all be talking to each other. but when you watch michael bloomberg, he's got no clue what everyday people are going through and he doesn't care to know.

if you try to talk about what was happening in the neighborhood, what was happening to everyday people, all he could think about was that the elite he comes from, how do you talk about health care? we've got tens of millions of people who need health care. how do we get it to them the right way? how do we plan your funeral? that was shocking to me. >> hannity: what is interesting about this, and the reason i am asking first, you are not supporting him. you are supporting sanders. i will say this about sanders. at least he believes this. i mean, he is sincere. this guy supported stop and frisk for 12 years. seven years when you were mayor. and then he says, oh, i'm running for president. african-americans may not like this and starts with the crocodile tears. you agree that that is phony. >> working people get this about bernie. it's very important. you may disagree with him, but you don't doubt that what he is

saying is the truth. most politicians bluntly, you have to wonder if you're getting the real thing or not. >> hannity: more about venezuela? what about his praise of venezuela, cuba and the former soviet union? they killed millions in the former soviet union. >> cold war. >> hannity: he was there. a nation that killed millions. because that's a key point. you know who else was there? ronald reagan. >> hannity: you, but he was actually telling them, among other things -- >> they don't want to talk about the cold war. they want to talk about how we are going to get people health insurance. how we are going to make sure people have a decent job and we resent wages. how we are going to make sure the middle-class survives and dealing with climate change. all things were americans -- >> hannity: bernie wants to get rid of oil and gas. how do we survive the lifeblood of the world's economy. >> we talked about this before. let me just make the point.

bernie sanders believes and what he's talking about. he gives you an incredible clear picture of where he wants to go. ronald reagan, your uncle he knew where he wanted to go. you know it with bernie sanders. he is about working people. the elites are not about working people. he is. >> hannity: here's the problem here he's going to tax people by his own admission and make $29,000 or more. they're going to get slapped with a 4% tax increase for medicare for all. he is going to high and income earners. capital gains, he's going to raise. he wants a wealth tax. the death tax, 77%. okay, new york gets another, what, 10% and i think you are sitting at 3%. they tax people, they pay their taxes, then you take another bite of the apple with a wealth tax if you are dumb enough to save money. then, when you die, you've got to give 90% of your wealth? don't you think that is legalized stealing? >> no. >> hannity: we should just

hand it over to you. >> republicans, democrats, independents, two things. one, too much money in politics. they all like to see the big money out of politics. two, they all think the wealthy are not paying their fair share in taxes. no one doubts that bernie sanders is going to make it more fair. >> hannity: you got to give me a straight answer. how much of every dollar after you state, local, federal, property taxes, should everybody be allowed to keep anybody. >> i'm not going to give a single number. >> why not? >> the bottom line is this. very wealthy people -- >> hannity: they are earning it. how did they get that? >> it's time for people -- >> hannity: how much does every american -- can i keep 40% of every dollar? >> most republicans are not paying their fair share of taxes. >> hannity: you want to legalized stealing and you want to compensate it and give it away. think i've got a production for you. a lot of your viewers have a choice between biden, bloomberg, bernie sanders. a lot of your viewers are labor union members.

♪ >> hannity: all right, more developments tonight in a quest to get to the truth. hold those who abuse their power accountable. according to a newly declassified study, a controversial program that spot an americans phone calls, their

text messages, yielded little results. this report by investigative reporter, john solomon, former head of the fbi's communication analysis unit, retired special agent says that the program was likely used for politically motivated surveillance through parallels to fisa abuse against carter page and then president trump. here to explain more as john solomon himself. john, this is a huge story. >> it is. it is. if it sounds a little familiar, it's because back in 2018, sean, you and i first highlighted this issue when he first interviewed him a couple years ago. it was the first time we heard from any official fbi world that this program was a sugar pill. it was spying on americans. they have gone a lot further today saying, not only did i tell james this in 2019 and they refused to fix it, they refused to change it, i fear after i retire that this program is used

to target donald trump to commit espionage during the 2016 election. that's a really significant claim from a man that oversaw this program for more than a decade. >> hannity: unbelievable. we've got to get to the bottom of this, john solomon. you have faith. we have an indication with the ig report. i think we got all of it. i do have confidence. i think it's taken a little longer than i would like. >> yeah. you are going through the bureaucracy. you are going to have a lot of bumps. here's what i -- i think we will get a full accounting. i'm not sure we will get many indictments if anything, but i do think we will get a full accounting from john durham. there will be more abuses than we know about. >> hannity: thank you. also, fisa set to expire next month. here to explain, house intelligence committee, he's the one who told us the truth of the

congenital liar, adam schiff, who lied to the american people. we will start with devin nunes. all right, we know where we are in all of this. one question i get to ask everywhere i go, that is, we know there was premeditated fraud committed by the court. they did it to spy and take away carter page's rights, spy on a campaign to keep him from being president. why do we hang on the low-hanging fruit? why is that taking so long? >> one thing that i tell the american people every time that i speak and i go out on the run and i talk to people is that, remember, the deep state here is much worse than even i thought it ever was. and so, people have to remember that this is you have to wake up every day to fight, because the socialist left, they work hard to take over the democratic party. they work hard to get bernie sanders in the lead. they are not going away. that's one of the reasons why i started to defend usa.com, because people ask, how can we help?

well, look, we've got to take the house back. if you can just, if you go to defend usa.com, you learn how you can help. this is going to be a very hard spot, even if bernie sanders is our nominee, they've got the media on their side, sean. it's not going to be easy. they've got bloomberg and all his money. >> hannity: high-growth you. the american people want us all to end and all the impeachment, impeachment, ukraine, ukraine, russia, russia, never ending. let me go to the heart of what this agent is saying, that in fact, he fears this program is so flawed that it is allowed to give americans a false sense of security and it is spying on all of us. now, you add that to the premeditated fraud on a fisa court. now, we know it all happen.

>> yeah, and this is why we need reform, sean. remember, they spied on four american citizens associated with the presidential campaign. they misled the fisa court, lied to the fisa court 17 times. but the main reason we need to reform the fisa process to make reforms in the whole area of the law is because it can happen again. remember, 2016 was election year. that's what they did in 2016, what we just talked about. this is 2020. they can do it again, because remember what happened two weeks ago. the intelligence community goes and briefs adam schiff and people on capitol hill, but they didn't tell the president what they were going to tell folks on capitol hill. as it turns out, what they conveyed it to mr. adam schiff was inaccurate. so, it can happen again. that is why it is so critical at this time that we reform the fisa process. reform the whole area of the law. >> hannity: do you both believe that durham and barr will get the job done? they can convene a grand jury and that charges can be brought?
