we have to talk about our policies. that's how we win. and we can't step away from the big social issues that we care about. thank you, tucker. >> tucker: that's right. so often republicans are cowards on that. great to see you. thank you. we are out of time here will be back tomorrow. 8:00 p.m. sean hannity takes over now. >> sean: thank you. welcome to "hannity." fox news alert. massive and great news. the dow jones industrial average jumped a whopping 1,290 points and as the dow, s&p, and the nasdaq also record high, highest single day point gains in american history. after a week of corona related panic, lies, propaganda, misinformation, thankfully the market is roaring back in a big way. we have a full report coming up on the program tonight but first in 246 days, it's going to go like that, you are the ultimate jury.a you will have a chance to once again shock the world and send president trump back to the white house for four more years. but it needs to be very clear to

every american and we will try to make it clear every night on this program and the democrats, the media mob, they will stop at nothing. and i mean anything, to stop donald trump. their rage, hate trump psychosis is even far worse than i thought, the level ofytea derangement is off the charts and now tonight especially i want you to pay very close attention as we prove our point because they are now using the natural fear of a virus as a political weapon. c we have all the evidence to prove it. a shameful politicizing, weaponizing of yes, the coronavirus. remember first russia, russia, russia. impeach, impeach, impeach. obstruction, obstruction, whatever. now the democrats, the media mob are smearing the president and his administration over the spread of the coronavirus in beyond egregious ways.ob the double standard and democracy of the mob and the democrats has never been worse.

so tonight we ask you to pay very close attention as we prove this point to you. the information we are giving you is not information you're going to find anywhere else, and it will expose yet again the absolute corruption, dishonestyg fraud and the political agenda of democrats and the media mob, their state run tv. we start with smear number one. for days, the left has been claiming the president is not prepared to handle the disease effectively.h well, as a matter of fact, biden, bloomberg, the entire mob and the media, others said president trump cut the funding to nih and cdc. that's 100% false. the exact opposite happened. funding actually went up. in fact, a recent study from's john hopkins university ranked the united states number one. number one in the world at pandemic preparedness. we are by far the most prepared. the next lie of the media mob and democrats is the claim the president did not act quickly enough. that's a bald-faced lie.

let's look at the truth that nobody else will report, and we have an actual timeline and you- can follow along at home. it's like follow the bouncing ball. this officially started believe it or not on december 30, 2019. not that long ago. we had a cluster of patients with pneumonia, an unknown provenance, observed in wuhan, china. that was reported to the world health organization. it wasn't until january 7 that the virus, the coronavirus, was actually identified and isolated in these patients. three weeks later, on january 31 of this year, the president declared a public health emergency. that meant americans returning from areas most impacted, they were subject to mandatory quarantine, two weeks of military bases. that's when the travel ban began. two days later, temporary travel ban went into effect for all non-u.s. citizens who recentlyaa visited china and my sources were actually in the room with the president made this decision on january 31, said there are

about 25 people in the room, no one agreed with the president to implement the travel ban, so that there would be political consequences if he did but he did it anyway. and he did it in record time. everyone else said maybe it's too early. i he made the call. my sources confirm to me tonight you can stop right there. this one early bold decision of this president likely prevented thousands and thousands of americans from contracting this virus. has anyone in the media mob told you that? it wasn't until february 11th that the world health organization officially named the virus. the president was way ahead of them. a task force led by trump's number two, vice president pence, is underway. it's filled with america's top scientists. so far, thankfully less than ten people in the country have died from this virus. now we need toca put that in perspective. let us compare this to h1n1, swine flu virus, as it's known. it hit the u.s. in april of

2009. it wasn't until six months later in october of 2009, after more than 20,000 americans were hospitalized, more than 1,000 of our fellow citizens died. only then did president obama and yeah, quid pro quo joe declare a national emergency. after 20,000 of our fellow citizens hospitalized, more than 1,000 americans. now do you remember at that time anybody in the media stirring up these type of hysteria as they are doing now? do you remember the end of days predictions? did the stock market take because of all the reckless lying and fearmongering? that did not happen in 2009. in fact, the market went up, as swine flu cases mounted. pretty interesting. a tale of two presidents. on the one side, obama-biden, they get the white glove treatment from their willing accomplices and fellow radical extreme socialists in the democratic party. on the other side, the mob in

three weeksen bludgeoned president trump, weaponizing this virus, to destroy him politically. one person at yahoo! news even suggesting this could be trump's katrina. "the washington post" also openly wondering if it would become trump's katrina. "new york times" hack paul krugman actually cheered. how do you cheer when we are losing money when the stock market fell? 25,000. "new york times" editorial. "new york times" said this is the trump virus, writing "if you're feeling awful, you know who to blame."ti by the way, as president trump was literally reacting in record time, what were the democrats doing to prepare this country for the pandemic at the end of january and early february? oh, they couldn't be bothered. why? they were consumed with their impeachment conspiracy theoriesu hoax, and witch hunt. the final vote didn't take place on impeachment till february 12, nearly two weeks after president trump acted decisively with an aggressive plan, frankly

unprecedented, to stop the spread of the coronavirus when he had his travel ban put in place. he did all this while he was being impeached. when the president put in place travel ban, at that time, that guy, quid pro quo joe, called the president's travel ban and quarantine efforts "part of a record of xenophobia and fearmongering." so many more thousands of people. how many more would've contracted the virus? d' we didn't quarantine people that came in from china, our citizens, for two weeks and we didn't have a travel ban. sorry.ra you're part of the world's sick. you can't get in. he did that three weeks. biden, obama, they waited six months in 1,000 people diedd in 2009 and '10. fake news cnn, what were they saying at the time with the travel ban? well, they were promoting the potential stigma and fear that the travel ban would cause. and fake news cnn would've also been responsible if, in fact, the ban wasn't in place and thousands and thousands of our fellow americans contracted this

disease. they would be critical of trump for doing that. now the democrats and the mob, they are just outright lying. nbc news, fake news cnn, msdnc, others, cher, hollywood, actually claiming that the president is calling the coronavirus a hoax. no, that's another complete lie. instead the president called the weaponization and politicizing of the virus a hoax. we have the tape to prove it. take a look. >> president trump: now the democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. you know that, right? coronavirus. they are politicizing it. we did one of the great jobs. you say how is president trump doing? they go oh, not good. not good. one of my people came up to met and said mr. president, they tried to beat you on russia, russia, russia. that didn't work out too well. they couldn't do it. they tried the impeachment hoax. they tried it over and over.

they've been doing it since you got in. it's all turning. they lost. it's all turning. think of it. think of it. and this is their new hoax. >> sean: the president didn't call the virus a hoax. no, he put in place quarantiness and he put in place travel bans, but the mob and the media, why would they ever let facts get in the way of a good anti-trump smear, which is all they've been doing for three years. take a look. >> just tonight at a rally, he went a step further and called the coronavirus a hoax.ht >> this is the same president who referred to the coronavirusd as a hoax. >> how did they answer that a guy like senator sanders is more capable than donald trump? who has called the coronavirus a hoax. >> president trump laid into the democrats who were raising alarm, calling it a hoax. >> the idea that donald trump said just several days ago this was a democratic hoax, what in god's name is he talking about?m >> i find it incomprehensible that the president would do something as inane and calling

it a hoax which he did last night in south carolina. >> he said that the democrats making so much if it is a democratic hoax, not that the virus was a hoax. >> sean: they are all lying yet again because of a political agenda. hate trump agenda. but not a word, not a peep in 2009 and '10. 20,000 of our fellow americans contracting swine flu, six months, what did biden-obama do? nothing. 1,000 dead americans. oh, now we will declare a national emergency. that's how corrupt and morally bankrupt your media mob has become and your democratic party is. then you've got late night liberal bill maher. well, he might take the cake. over the weekend he actually claimed that the president would like to use the virus to declare martial law. v this is the same guy by the way that wanted, oh, a recession. because it would help the democrats. take a look.y w

>> since trump, i think, is not going to leave anyway, might as well run bernie. he's not. and by the way, when the virus gets bad, he's going to declare martial law. watch that.. that could totally happen. >> sean: lies, conspiracy theories, smears, slander, besmirchment from the media unlike anything we've ever experienced. this is a raw, naked political agenda that they hate the president but they also those of us smelly walmart trump supporters who believe in god, guns, bible, you know, constitution. they are not looking out for your safety, your security or well-being. the one thing they care about and the only thing is placating the psychotic rage and hypocrisy and double standard because they hate donald trump. that's why this election means something. d more than any other in my lifetime. 246 days, you cannot reward this. we have a lot more coming up on all of this tonight but first joining us now with a full report on today's record setting economic numbers, with thers fox business channel, melissa francis. big day for everybody on wall street. we always expect wall street to be a little jittery. they seem to have recovered. >> absolutely.

the market is the great truth teller because of course you do what you really believe with your money.th you may say different things about different candidates butou when it comes time to put your money on the line, and we saw that. paul krugman, you mentioned him. he's the one who said the market was never going to recover on the night that president trump was elected and lo and behold, much as we predicted overnight, it bounced back right away the next morning. and in fact it is all those records that we had seen since the president has been an office that drove the market lower atal least in part last week. what i'm saying is i actually w talk to traders every day, i talk to people putting money on the line, unlike all these pundits on these other sites who sit there and oh, the market is crashing. this is what traders are actually saying. the market can't go up, up up. we had run up 17% without pulling back. so we were due for a pullback. they looked at what was going on with china. they didn't know how long those factories were going to be closed. guess what we learned on friday

and over the weekend.. the factories in china are opening back up. people are going back to work. so you have a sense of how long a virus is going to cause a supply shock. we also see that stocks weren't massively selling off. they can only go down for so long before people go, the world is going to recover from this virus and, my goodness, i missed the last run up in apple. the last run up over here. i'm going to get in on it. there's another important story that hasn't really been covered. we have complicated supply chains depending on other countries like china. who has been trying to get us off those complicated supply chains? who has been trying to wean us from china and has been ridiculed for it through this trade work? president trump. now we see why we maybe don't want to be totally dependent on them, because a virus that's's under control in our country, where we only have people dying for now, thank god, who were already vulnerable in their health for one reason or

another. you have other countries where it's running rampant and more healthy people are actually dying from this. maybe you don't want to be dependent on the country for your supply chain. or for your medications. that's another huge story the president has been on and that we've been covering. why is china making our medication? why aren't we in control of that anymore? these are things to follow up on. what do you think, sean? >> sean: well said. might have a slow down because they talked it down so bad. we will have more of the coronavirus in a moment. first, super tuesday only hours away. tomorrow morning polls will open in 14 states across country. we are looking at what is essentially now a 4-person race. you had a 78-year-old soviet style radical socialist who praises every murdering ,communist, dictatorship around the world.d. and a lying, pandering nanny state mayor who wants to take your guns, fly his plane but lecture us on global warming. let old people get sick and die and not give them coverage.s,

actually talking about how he put the cops in only minority neighborhoods, only arrested minorities because that's where all the crime is, and then you've got pocahontas, elizabeth warren. lied about her heritage to climb the academic ladder for decades to get a cushy high-paying job. then lying about the cost of her radical plan to take away your private health insurance. let's be honest. warren is probably done. she has no path to the nomination. she's hitching her wagon to bernie, and that'll be as clear as ever tomorrow.at so guess what. that brings us all the way back to sleepy, creepy, crazy quid pro quo joe 30330. who once again tonight is being proclaimed the party's savior to stop sanders. despite an endless stream of gaffes, blunders, mistakes, and incoherent ramblings getting worse by the hour, because guess what. biden isn't even sure what day the election is on. i'm not making it up. it's new. take a look.e >> look, tomorrow is super thursday -- tuesday. i want to thank you all. i tell you what, i am rushing

ahead, aren't i. >> sean: it gets worse because when biden appeared on fox news yesterday he forgot chris wallace's name. thought he was talking to chuck. take a look. >> thank you. thanks for your time. please come back in less than 13 years, sir. >> all right, chuck. thank you very much. >> all right. it's chris, but anyway. >> i just did chris. no, no. i just did chuck. i tell you what, man. these are back-to-back. anyway. i don't know how you do it early in the morning. >> sean: that's really insulting to call chris chuck in, my opinion. earlier today biden tried to show off his knowledge of american history by reciting yeah, you know, this document that we all know. we hold these truths to be self-evident. don't we? take a look. >> it's time for american to get back up on its feet and once again fight for the proposition that we hold these truths to be self-evident, it sounds corny. it's not a joke.ro think about it. we hold these truths to be

self-evident, all men and women created by -- you know the thing. you know how we talk about it. we the people. >> sean: b-b-b-b. that would be god, joe. the only thing worse than biden's never ending campaign of blunders, mental flubs, all-out delusion is his actual record. keep your doctor, plan and save money. 8 million more american in poverty and 13 million more americans on food stamps and 1,000 dead americans until he and obama officially declared a national emergency to respond to the swine flu six months later. trump did it in three weeks. here with reaction donald trump jr. imagine that. it took them 20,000 americans contracting the swine flu virus. then of course 1,000 died. maybe now we will call it a t national emergency. your father did it, donald jr., in three weeks. three weeks and everybody told him not to. how many thousands of americans didn't contract this virus?

>> many. that's the reality. it was great to see them talking about that before. by having actual control of our borders, by actually trying to bring back american manufacturing and controlling some of our supply lines, it's actually preparedness for the future in dealing with these sorts of things. p this has been trump's agenda from day one. unfortunately the left is suffering from trump derangement syndrome much more than they are from anything else. they can't even get these things out. they don't realize he acted decisively. they actually criticized him for his actions. you saw -- he's being xenophobic. no, he just didn't want disease coming to america. not xenophobia. there's a big difference but again the media is so used to having it both ways. they are so used to being able to do what ever they can to bolster the democrats because i they have decided to be the marketing wing of the democratic party. and that's a problem, sean. >> sean: there's never been in modern history a president that would be willing to put in americans coming back from

china, to quarantine them. he did that. and a travel ban within three weeks. and i honestly -- if he didn't do it and didn't act decisively, there's no way we wouldn't have thousands more people that have contracted this. the fact that they will talk down the economy, say nothing when 20,000 contracted this disease in 1,000 people died. you're right. xenophobia, that the president is creating a climate of racism, i'm like, are you people kidding me? he is protecting america. >> i said they are seemingly upset he was ahead of the curve. they want any kind of disaster, like you were talking about as it relates to the economy. you talked about bill maher. there were people, not just bill maher, but thousands of other blue check mark elitists saying

i don't care if someone loses their job. i don't care if they lose their home or can't make their mortgage payments, you know if we can get one of our leftist clowns to implement free health care for illegals who are never going to pay for it, that's well worth your suffering. donald trump has put americans first.go he's put america first again. we shouldn't be embarrassed about that. he was ahead of this and no matter what his response, there's going to be criticism. they will rethink it and when you have everyone in the media that will run with whatever the democrat talking points are, they can pretend to make up facts. as you've seen and as they've done. >> sean: you know it was amazing. i heard from somebody in the room that your dad, everybody said no, probably shouldn't do it. those who weighed in on the political side said it's going to backfire. fake news cnn said stigma and fear that the travel ban would cause. i think this shows the difference between your thoughts father and, say, biden-obama. they waited six months. 1,000 dead americans, don jr.

takes my breath away. >> 100% this is why you want donald trump as a leader, someone who can actually make a decision but not just make a decision and go the pc route but someone who would actually make the tough decision. that's who i want in a time of crisis and that's what his leadership has exemplified. that's why he's been able to achieve all of the accomplishments both economically and from a foreign policy standpoint it's only said he could never do. that's why he was able to do it despite zero help, despite zero action from the do-nothing democrats over the last 3 years old on nothing but try to impeach him. he got nafta done and renegotiated. he got a trade deal done with china. we got unemployment at the lowest levels in recorded history for literally every demographic in this country. but they want to change that. we are not dealing with rational people. we're dealing with people who can't recite the declaration of independence. we are dealing with a candidate, leader, probably joe biden whof doesn't know what state he's inn 50% of the time.

bloomberg spent 600 million trying to buy the election but he found out when he got on the debate stage two weeks ago, it's not so easy to do what trump did wo communist've got a in bernie sanders, so the democrat party is really at a loss. they don't have anything. they don't have anyone good, which is why the two biggest funders of the democrat party actually got in the race themselves. >> sean: if the market takes a while, the economy slows, i blame them for their hysteria. don jr., thank you. joining us now is housing and urban development secretary, a member of the coronavirus task force team, dr. ben carson. we could compare biden-obama 20,000 contracted disease, aof thousand died. now we will call it a national emergency.th the media's fine. donald trump did it three weeks. your reaction. >> it's wonderful that we have a leader who's willing to take decisive action to make hard calls. i have seen him many times make a hard call when everybody else said something else and he's been right.. he is very, very good judgment.

you know, his care in this situation is about the americann people, about protecting them.le i'm not about political issues. in one of the things that i think is very interesting is that a consortium of drug companies have gotten together. they are normally competitors. they are working together to come up with cures and to come up with vaccines. why is it that the political class can't recognize that this is something that should rise above that level and that wecl need to be concerned about the welfare of our nation. >> sean: do you think there is anything else we might be missing here that we need to do? i like the idea of the travel ban.n.e i like the idea unfortunately of quarantining but we are doing it for the safety and security for the rest of us. anything else you see and where do you see this going, this particular virus. from what i understand, corona is just a variation of another coronavirus which we've been studying for some period of time.

>> we would need to recognize that it is a virus and it needs to be treated like a virus and like viral infections.ze we need to emphasize to people that you need to do the same things you would do for any other flu or viral infection. keep your hands washed. be careful about where you go. keep yourself healthy in terms of hydration, eating things that are healthful to you. getting plenty of rest. these are the kind of things that make a big difference for people. >> sean: i'm putting my purellll on now. i don't want to infect anybody. in all seriousness, we pray for our citizens who have been affected and those who've lost loved ones. the travel ban works. dr. carson, thank you as always. the president holding a massive rally tonight in north carolina. he went after, yes, quid pro quo joe, his numerous gaffes. we have all the highlights and so much more.

texas i was talking to one of our pollsters there and campaign manager. they know texas. you know, scary but you have a marxist that is leading the democrats in texas. we don't know the effect of all the democrats throwing in the towel because half the vote has voted in early voting so it's going to be interesting to see but who would've ever dreamed that a marxist, procommunist, makes a plea from his days visiting the soviet union on his honeymoon would be winning in texas for the democrats. it's an amazing time. >> sean: they are all nuts to me. chapter and verse on all ofim them, how do you think it plays out. >> every one should turn out for joe biden on thursday and definitely not tomorrow. here's the thing.

there is essentially a coronation from the democratic establishment for joe biden. today for the guy that everyone just looked into, gaffe after gaffe and not just gaffes but some comments that you could say are maybe even racist. so that guy, a guy who was on his third presidential run. he won his first primary state in south carolina in three runs. he got trounced by bernie sanders in the three states prior to that, so that's the guy the democrats think is their best chance or at least the establishment democrats think, is their best chance for the nomination and potentially the general election which i think sort of tells you something. >> sean: what about this whole issue? 20,000 contracted disease. 1,000 died and then they start taking it seriously in '09 and 2010 in donald trump acted in three weeks. how do you politicize that? and weaponize that? >> you have to be dishonest to do that. but if you look at the democratic playbook, here we had a president that reacted immediately and said we need to

restrict people coming in from china, the problem area. he was called a racist. and you know, then they turn around and call them other names when he was wanting to make sure that our border is secure. fortunately the three-judge panel in the ninth circuit reversed themselves and said you know, maybe president trump did have a good idea down there. the president has been ahead of the game at every turn. >> sean: predictions, whater happens tomorrow? lisa boothe. >> i'm looking at how much bernie sanders runs up the score in california because it could be hard to catch him depending on how many delegates he gets there. also looking at elizabeth warren, if she loses her home state of massachusetts, i think it's going to be hard for her to justify her presidential run if she loses her own state. >> sean: good observations both of you. when we come back, all right, so the media mob, democrats are weaponizing, politicizing the coronavirus outbreak. but will it come back to bite them? we'll explain. we will check in with our

putting physicians and scientists to lead this outbreak is the trump administration. they just announced today they are having an ambassador birx join, appointed by president obama, because she's an incredible scientist and physician and she's also joining fauci. she is joining redfield. it's incredible. he's put together an "a" team. he's the one listening to scientists, listening to physicians and it's frustrating to hear biden say the trump administration slashed cuts to the cdc. he did decrease some funding to the cdc. what he did not decrease funding to was the infectious disease portion of the cdc. he cut administrative and wasteful programs. he increased funding for infectious diseases by 20%. >> sean: dr. saphier lays it out, then you have been media mob.

20,000 americans contracted swine flu. 1,000 died before they declared a national emergency six months later in 2009. >> you know, sean, i think first of all, this is the time where i am perfectly satisfied with the president's team and his response. vice president pence is an inspired choice to lead this effort. now is the time we got a fight this thing with urgency, with competence. we have to go full bore and with transparency. we've got to fight this thing and put it -- >> sean: geraldo, geraldo. he did it in three weeks with the travel ban. three weeks, record time. >> i want to know where were the 17 intelligence agencies that are constantly busting the president's chops when this thing was spreading through wuhan, china. where were all our great intelligence guys? >> sean: they didn't identify

it until december. >> why didn't they tell the rest of us? why didn't they tell us? >> sean: they didn't even identify it until december 30, 2019. dan bongino. >> entered the hospital with pneumonia. coronaviruses aren't new. it's this specific strain that is new. maybe dr. saphier can say. the media and the democrats activities over the last few weeks have been absolutely grotesque and horrendous. just when i thought we reached a new low after impeachment, their activities during the coronavirus, whether it's michael bloomberg or joe biden, two leading candidates for president, perpetuating myths on national television about cdc funding, perpetuating the myth that president trump called the virus hoax. in fact a falsehood. whether it is politico perpetuating that myth, whether it's left-wing media saying dr. fauci was in fact muzzled when dr. fauci himself --

>> this is going to be so irrelevant. sean. >> sean: irrelevant? wait a minute. it's not irrelevant. when he put in place a travel ban -- cnn criticized and he saved thousands. that's not irrelevant. >> six dead in washington state right now. in a week there could be 60. then there's going to be every other state. >> sean: geraldo, where was the media? where was the media. dan bongino, when 1,000 americans died and 20,000 infected before they finally declared this a national emergency. dan bongino. trump did it in three weeks and got crucified for it. >> your darn right. that's insane. irrelevant? the media was hyping this thing and probably wiped out hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth by making a big -- not telling people the truth. >> don't shake hands. wash your hands.

>> sean: dr. saphier gets a pay raise for putting up with all of this tonight. doctor, thank you for your expertise. geraldo, you may need medical resuscitation after i see you next time. anyway. just kidding. thank you all. federal judge ordered hillary clinton for a sworn deposition about the email scandal. finally maybe justice? and a big announcement coming up straight ahead. >> sean: our friends at judicial ♪

♪ >> sean: our friends at judicial watch got another huge win after a federal judge granted their request to have hillary clinton sit down for a sworn deposition over her email scandal. finally. by the way in the quest to expose democratic corruption does not stop there. republican senator ron johnson has now officially notified the

senate homeland security committee of his plans to seek a subpoena against a hunter biden link public affairs firm, yes,it relating to zero experience hunter making millions. burisma holdings. by the way there is official investigation that was announced in ukraine. here with reaction, author of the number one best seller "witch hunt " fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. fox news investigative reporter sara carter. and "wall street journal" writer kimberley strassel. it's big what's happening ukraine. the leading candidate of thel" democratic party,ng mr. quid pro quo himself. >> senator ron johnson and i will start with that has been really aggressively tackling hunter biden and his role in burisma and now it appears, sean, that they are going to be subpoenaing people in connection with burisma that they believe leveraged hunter biden in an effort to protect burisma. this is huge news.

secondly as far aso hillary clinton is concerned, this is the biggest news we've heard of yet. this is probably the biggest win for judicial watch. because judge royce lamberth, basically granted judicial watch the right to depose hillary clinton, cheryl mills, or close closest aide, and paul combetta, he was the i.t. specialist who worked on her private server. they're going to have a lot of questions that they will have to answer. judge royce lamberth said we are not quite a let it slide by. you're not going to have it in written answer format. it's going to be in person question and answer. he wants all the answers as well. >> sean: from a legal standpoint, gregg jarrett, i always said if were going to have equal justice and application of laws and not train our constitution, needs t go back to the espionage act of course the leading and bleach bit and hammers and devices. this is a huge step. then we have durham-barr on top

of that. >> the challenge is that hillary clinton is a master of prevarication. she's elevated lies and deception and evasion to an art form. during the course of her email scandal, she told lie after lie. five in all. every time she got caught in a lie, she would invent a brand-new one. finally when it came time for fbi interview which was, the outcome was preordained and it was all choreographed and scripting, she said "i don't recall" 39 times. when she sits down for her deposition, sean, i'm not optimistic. she will feign amnesia. she will have a total memorym loss akin to acute dementia. and i fear that will all simply be a waste of time. >> sean: where do you think -- i have confidence in the attorney general, kimberley. maybe i shouldn't but unlike the inspector general, durham and the attorney general, they have the right to convene a grand jury, press charges, where does

this all end in your view? do you believe as i do that i think they're going to get the job done? i >> look, we have crucial parts of this that have not been answered yet and what was great about the horowitz report is that it started in july.n went into the fbi investigation. we don't know things from the beginning, the time in the spring when you have fusion gps already hiring christopher steele who was involved with all of that. this is what durham is going to get into. and it's -- we need the answers to that because we still only have half the story. >> sean: i tell you what. we better get to the bottom of it or else we don't really have a constitution, especially that those that lied under oath. great reporting, all of you. thank you. we'll stay on it. a big fight over fisa later this week. chris matthews out at msdnc. very few thrills going up his leg for a while. big announcement. that's next. stay with us. ♪
