>> tucker: that's about it for this hour. boy, it went quick. things usually do. have the best night, hopefully with the ones that you love. sean hannity stands by in new york city. let the great hannity desk sweep you around here. >> sean: wears that one? who is that? >> tucker: all right, thank you. >> tucker: thank you. >> sean: welcome to "hannity." we start tonight, fox news alert, supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg has been hospitalized apparently with an infection. trace gallagher joins us with a full report coming up. plus, the crisis and liberal cities and states all across the country. what we have are highly taxed, highly regulated blue states and they would like the rest of america to pay for all there, let's see, debts, deficits and all the unfunded pension that they already pay for themselves and their own. here's the rule, wasteful spending, noncovid relief has to

be a nonstarter. the people of the states, they elected these big tax and spend politicians. the rest of the country did not, nor should they bail out, welcome of the people in these blue states for their stupidity. covid-19 relief only. workers, small businesses, look for everybody else. also tonight come americans are now revolting in major ways against what a local draconian, frankly sometimes insane, laws and restrictions. we will tell you all of them, it will make your head spin. the media mob, some democrats seem to be rooting for the shutdown to go on forever. we all know how to open it open safely. we've learned a lot, and we will, and we have two. by the way, excuse me, other covid-19 models have been so wrong in every single imaginable way. it's a national disgrace. we have a full on "hannity" investigational coming up tonight. and later we will call out elizabeth warren, the latest pathetic me too hypocrisy.

i believe her, no, i'm not a believer. plus bombshell new developments from the sexual misconduct scandal that is rocking nbc, and where is director ray, and what is he doing to hold those few bad actors at the highest echelons, seventh floor fbi responsible? spoiler alert, you're not going to like the answer. but first we do have more breaking news tonight, what is a truly disgusting, dishonest letter that we have just obtained at fox news. the office of the former president barack obama, well, they blasted a congressional investigation into biden's dealing with ukraine. wonder why. now the office actually accused the investigation, giving credence to a russian disinformation campaign, and this ridiculous letter insinuated lawmakers were just spreading russian propaganda. this is all a liar, when obama put out tonight. in reality it was obama. it was his administration. it was biden. they are the ones that spent months and months propagating

the russian disinformation campaign. barack, did you ever hear of the dirty russian dossier that hillary clinton paid for? of course you have, because members of your administration, they used that unreliable clinton, bought and paid for, russian misinformation from the get-go filled with russian lies. why? to deny carter right his civil liberties and civil rights because your people were spying, meaning jim comey and company, on these trump campaign deep into the trump presidency. that would be under your watch, your guy, jim comey and company. that same russian dossier was used to commit fraud on fisa applications, premeditated fraud. by the way, what about the unusual email that susan rice sent herself in the final hours of inauguration day of donald trump? you know, the one where she stressed that president obama wanted everything to be done by

the book? but she was memorializing a meeting in the oval office. barack obama was there, biden was there. weeks earlier. well, why did she send note to herself on the way out the door? and what did obama know, and when did he know it? what did biden know and when did he know it? what did susan rice know and when did she know it. by the way, did he engage in an illicit quid pro quo, barack? you saw the tape bragging about it, even saying the quid pro quo was backed up by you, the president. in other words, you knew when you are supporting not getting a belly and unless he fired the prosecutor paying my zero experience son millions. he said you knew in that tape. ultimately, if president obama was so concerned about russian collusion, then he would've listened to congressman devin nunes because congressman devin nunes warned obama that in 2014 russia would be playing around in their elections as they have in the past. he wouldn't have dismissed mitt romney's morning in 2012

either, and by the way, tell vladimir i will have more flexibility after the election. well, barack, what flexibility were you hiding from we, the people? we would like answers. we will have much more on this later in the show. now we turn to another top story. that is the imperative reopening of this country in a safe way that is also urgent. it's time to get moving. take a look. >> our country wants to open. the governors, it's in their hands, but our country wants to open. and you see what's going on. they have to open. and the people of our country should think of themselves as warriors. our country has to open. >> sean: president trump is right. the pandemic is far from over appeared american, they are not going to cower in fear. i think we see, the american people have assessed the danger, they've looked at what we've learned and we've learned a lot. and probably the biggest lesson coming from the great state of

florida and that would be governor ron desantis, who did the best job -- almost the best job, there were a couple other governors -- in the country. he protected the elderly, the sick, and the vulnerable. in other words, the opposite of what new york, and connecticut, and michigan dead. it's time to get our country back to work. let's take a look. >> our country has to go back to being our country again. you have people that are not going to stand for this, and i understand them very well. speak of the university of washington saying we could have 135,000 americans dead by august. what do you make of those numbers, mr. president? >> a couple of things. first of all, these models have been so wrong from day one. both on the low side in the upside. they've been so wrong. they've been so out of whack. and they keep making new models, new models, and they are wrong. those models you're mentioning are without medication. well, we are mitigating, and we've learned to mitigate, but we've learned to work and work

in place and also mitigate. >> sean: the travel ban, january 31st, 10 days after the first known coronavirus case in america. wow. the president didn't do that, it would have been exponentially worse on every level. let's face it, all these models have been dead wrong. and decisions were made based on bad models on both sides. in the past few weeks we have seen the suppose it scientific models, they get revised down and up and up and down. remember, the initial death projections were over 2.2 million americans. way off base, but the president's travel ban no denying, and quarantine, and subsequent travel ban saved incalculable numbers of lives in this country. his historic medical mobilization led by the president also saved this country from untold amounts of suffering. look at your screen. no country has tested more than the united states of america, and as you can see, it is not

even close. now, this kind of progress on testing was almost unthinkable just two months ago. ultimately, the doom and gloom predictions thankfully never came true. worst-case scenario never happened, in large part because of that hysterical, racist, xenophobic fearmongering travel ban of the president ten days after the first case. for some reason, the rhetoric on the left gets more and more hysterical. they were busy impeaching the president. someone over there at fake news cnn actually suggesting that going outside, getting fresh air is a betrayal to health care workers. these people over there at fake news are nuts. take a look. speak of the president seems to be saying that it's safe to go to the parks in the beaches. does that argument make any sense to you? >> no, and i think in some ways it really betrays the really hundreds of thousands of people in the united states who work in hospitals day and night to try

to save lives. >> this is coming from the top, and it's incredibly disruptive. everyone in medicine knows this. >> sean: socially distant, wearing masks. sorry, you guys are nuts. and i bet none of you supported the travel ban either. now while the mob and the media, they are apparently rooting for an indefinite shutdown, the american people, they know better. they are fighting back. this is not mission accomplished, not until, as the president said, it's completely stopped. still, we are now working on getting the country back to work and back to work safely. same time, preventing predictable new hot spots from emerging and counting on them when and if they do. now americans must do what we do best. that is create, innovate, and work like hell to rebuild the country. make no mistake, this kind of exceptionalism is not derived from big government. if that was the case, let's see, the former soviet union would've been the best place on earth to live, or venezuela. tough choices will be made,

precautions if necessary, but it's interim, won't last forever. many people are struggling. look at this one dallas salon owner who was given seven days in jail for reopening too soon. the judge told her she could avoid punishment if she apologizes for her actions. she refused. good for her. because feeding her kids was more important. and it's interesting how creative people are when they are opening. plexiglass, masks, social distancing, they're doing it all. they learned. america learned. this is why we can reopen and do it safely. like the state of florida did. now the state of new york and not the state of michigan. millions of americans across the country are experiencing a lot of hardship. another example out in california, their tourism industry could lose, well, as much as $72 billion. by the way, that is not the people of tennessee's responsibility. in michigan, almost every business is suffering because of dozens of insane authoritarian

measures from their left-wing governor, touted to be biden, the ever forgetful once vice presidential running mate. pursuant to an executive order that recently expired, governor whitmer band, let's see, jet skis, motorboats, gun stores, shooting races, camping at campgrounds. she forced retailers to close their plant sections, she banned lawyers and realtors from leaving their homes, and she even banned law and garden services, car washes, show rooms for cars, and bicycle shops, and private construction. the list could go on and on. just dome, draconian, a lot of this, and she has done an awful job of trying to protect the people in her state. instead of focusing on her state's most vulnerable communities, focus on them, the elderly, nursing homes, she enacted broad measures for everyone. meanwhile, florida governor descent as did the exact opposite. in the numbers, they speak for themselves. by far, he did one of the best

jobs in the country. look at your screen. well, numbers tell the whole story. fatality rate at florida's long-term care facilities drastically lower than michigan and obviously new york's numbers are the worst because they didn't use the 3,000 beds at the javits center that the president manned and built and converted to covid-19 patients. they use 1,000 of the 3,000 beds. they only use 182 beds at the hospital ship, the navy ship the comfort. 182. bill for 1,000, covid-19 converted. nope. march 25th, executive order. send all the covid-19 patients back into the long-term facilities, and oh, by the way, that is what 30% of the people of new york died. by the way, the fatality rate, new york's long-term facilities, 18%. florida, just over 1%. they have some of the largest -- and they have the largest elderly population in the country. governor descent's got it right.

cuomo, governor whitmer, they all got it wrong. maybe just maybe it has something to do with governor cuomo is policy. nursing homes, admit and readmit patients who tested positive for coronavirus and i'm not responsible for your p/e. at one point it got so bad that they were reportedly sending elderly coronavirus patients to nursing homes in body bags. they did that all over the state. here with more in the new york disasters coronavirus response, our own trace gallagher. a trace, that one decision. why did they order the homes to take them? why did they also not use all the hospital beds manned, built by the president and covid converted? wouldn't have cost them a penny. and why did they let people who had covid-19 go back to nursing homes? >> sean, we've known from the start that nursing home residents were the most vulnerable, but new york state has now released some stunning new numbers that state an

additional 1700 people in the states nursing homes have died. these fatalities are just not being disclosed because they apparently died of covid-19 cov9 before their infections were confirmed by lab tests. in total, more than 4800 people have died from coronavirus in new york nursing homes, and that could still be a vast undercount. in the meantime, in the span of 13 hours, two homeless men were found in a new york city public trains. on friday night, 57-year-old man was found slumped over on a train in the northern part of the city. early saturday morning, another man was found on the brooklyn train. both apparently died of natural causes, but it's raising concerns about the spread of covid-19 on public transportation, which is why, in three hours and 30 minutes, 1,000 new york city police officers will begin removing homeless people from the some sy system so cleaning crews can disinfect the trains from covid-19 germs.

and breaking news, supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg has just undergone a nonsurgical treatment for an infection caused by a gallstone. she will remain hospitalized in baltimore for a day or two, where she is said to be resting comfortably. more news on ruth bader ginsburg as we get a peer shown? >> sean: trace gallagher, everyone on the court says she is one of the nicest people. we wish her well tonight. we will continue to update our viewers on all of these stories. we have a lot more to get to tonight but also breaking, federal judge has just ordered that new york state democrats reinstated the democratic presidential primary. we will keep an eye on that. but first, now let's turn to house speaker nancy pelosi. she is still, well, absent from capitol hill, and maybe she doesn't want to come to work at this point. she is in her multimillion dollar mansion, gated community. maybe she should just take a pay cut, just like so many of her struggling constituents. now instead, nancy pelosi is actively trying to spend more of

her hard-earned money to bail out all of her liberal friends and make the american taxpayers pay for that, illegal immigrants, sanctuary status, et cetera, et cetera. and the speaker wants a brand-new stimulus package that will give liberal states billions of your dollars, not for covid relief, not to help workers or small business -- and no, to balance their overblown budget. as a resident of new york, let me be clear: the federal government -- this will hurt me, i don't care. what's fair is fair. federal government, wherever you live, outside of new york, new jersey, illinois and california, you should not bail out these corrupt states. you should not. americans will more than happy -- they rose to the occasion. new york was bailed out by the rest of america. by the way, as somebody from new york, thank you. we of course would've been there for you. this is america. we say -- we stand up for our own people. that's it, we are one united country. but it's not your responsibility to pay for new york's insane,

reckless spending, illegal immigrants, solar panel factories, 750 million, 600 million microchip factories, mothballed, both of them, and $90 million on light bulb ventures. it's not your job. meanwhile california governor gavin newsom is actually trying to get 75 million in tax dollars, your dollars, and california directly to illegal immigrants. judicial watch is now suing to block that program. mcconnell is very to put brakes on nancy pelosi's insane state bailouts. here with more is louisiana senator, our friend john kennedy. senator, listen, i'm speaking out against myself because i am unfortunately, i am tied to new york because of this job. otherwise, i would live there with you. you're in florida or in texas. but i'm here. it's going to cost money but what's fair is fair. new york, well, they like the dumbest people that spend all of the money in taxes to death. louisiana ends should not be forced to pay for that.

>> no, we shouldn't. i think what the governor cuomo forgets is how much money we've given the states already. my state has received about $2.5 billion already. i don't know how many billions new york has received. that may not be as much as the governor wants, but it's not liberal either. our position on the republican side of the city is, look, we spent $3 trillion. a lot of that did go to state and local governments. that's a step, let's see how it works. once the economy starts to open up again, let's see what the revenues go up. there needs to be a shared sacrifice. states and cities are going to have to pair their budget, just like people have. now, speaker pelosi, she wants

to spend it -- waste a trillion dollars. i wouldn't be surprised if she's working on a stimulus package for the murdering hornet. she has no concept of deficits. this is not louisiana dishwater we are spending. this is taxpayer money and we are going to have to pay it back and all we're saying saying is, let's go slowly and see what works and what doesn't work. >> sean: i think, senator, maybe she should leave that gated community and that beautiful mansion with all the ice cream and even the freezer, get on her private jet, make a big carbon footprint and get back to work like the rest of the country, and all the p/e, masks she needs, whatever, shall be taken care of like everyone else, but get to work. but they want to use this, their unfunded pensions, and their deficits, and their debt. all of these are high tax states

that waste, fraud, and abuse. if it's not covid-19, my answer is no deal. under any circumstances. help workers, small businesses, health workers, and get the country back open. that's it. i think that's more than fair. >> i introduced a bill today to give the states more flexibility to spend the money that we've already given them, and we've already given them at least 200, $250 billion. but that doesn't mean the money should be wasted. it shouldn't be wasted on bailing out mismanaged pension plans. it shouldn't be spent on people who are in our country illegal illegally. i understand where governor governor newsom is coming from. he just thinks the border is a nuisance. he thinks that if you believe in immigration laws, you are a racist.

i don't think that vetting people properly before they come into your country is racist. i think it's prudent in the world we live in. we shouldn't bail out that kind of nonsense. and i would point out again, we've already given the states an enormous amount of money. >> sean: a ton. by the way, can i point out, senator, and we always appreciate you coming on the program, by the looks of the background i would say you are in washington, d.c., is that true? >> i am i am. >> sean: your working? all buy ice cream. i will send it. the expensive kind. >> we are being smart, we are socially distancing, we are wearing masks. there is a way to save lives and save jobs -- >> sean: thank you, senator. >> and we are going to work toward that end. >> sean: we appreciate you working hard. thank you. we appreciate it. protecting her money as well. by the way, i'll pay the bill.

i'm screwed, have to pay my taxes. trust me, they would throw me in jail in ten seconds in new york. here with more, with a governor desantis -- the president gets an a+ just on the travel ban. then, he saved new york, built the hospital's command of the hospitals, covid-19, the hospitals, masks, gowns, gloves, respirators, you get it. but you did the next best job, governor. you saw what happened in new york. march 26 directive, nursing homes, must take older, sick people with covid. what? how crazy is that? >> nursing homes are ground zero. if you look at the fatalities across the country and in places like florida, it's 60, 75% people 75 and over, so that is where the danger is, that is where we put a lot of resources in florida. tomorrow, and i think you and i have talked about, we are trying to get this done but tomorrow are going to be debuting the

first mobile lab and rv that we will take with the florida department of health and emergency management. we are going to have a 45 minute instant test from -- we've been doing a lot of testing and nursing homes anyway but we will be able to give them the results in real time and this is going to be another great effort to protect our senior citizens. >> sean: it was the single best move -- i will put up the charts again. the numbers speak for themselves. by the way, very selfish question. i'm currently banned from visiting my hometown. hopefully in the future one day at the villages. i would like to visit florida. i'm currently under quarantine if i visit florida. you have banned me. i don't blame you, by the way. >> how about this, sean, how about this -- >> sean: don't give me special consideration. i will get crushed for that. >> no, it's not special -- but we are in an age of social distancing. you can do your show from naples just as easy as new york because

you've the virtual guests on the satellite -- >> sean: but i have to be under quarantine! do i not have to be under quarantine? >> we could figure something out. well, actually i probably have to keep you under quarantine because otherwise people would sort of really get mad at me. but i do think having the show come down here it is doable, and you just have to pulled the trigger at some time, my man. >> sean: trust me, i'm going broke up here and it's about to get worse. in all seriousness, governor, you save lives. you did what other people didn't and we can see the difference. thank you. you protected our most vulnerable population, and you get an a. the president gets the a+ for the travel ban. thank you. when we come back, sidney powell just obtained more documents relating to michael flynn's case. fbi director chris ray has a lot of explaining to do. and i can't believe it, i can officially report tonight, hell has frozen over.

that hard-hitting news show on abc, "the view," had something nice to say about me. even joyless bay hard. what has happened? straight ahead. feel the clarity of non-drowsy claritin. and 24 hour relief from symptoms caused by over 200 indoor and outdoor allergens. like those from buddy. because nothing should come between two best friends. feel the clarity, and live claritin clear. yeah, i'm done after this meeting. we're just going over how people who switch to progressive can save hundreds. hey mara! - yeah jamie's the guy running it. - mara, you're not on mute. i once had to fake jury duty to get out of talking about his yogurt preferences. mara, you know you're not on mute, right?

oh, there's a mute button? yeah, that's flo! the one who looks like she'd smile while she sleeps. flo: i always smile. mara: that's why i said that.

♪ >> sean: as we mentioned at the top of the show, breaking news surrounding newly obtained march letter from the

office of former president barack obama. now he's blasting g.o.p. efforts to get records related to biden and ukraine and his zero experience on hunter claiming it would only fuel russian disinformation. okay, remember, the russian hoax happened, that would be under obama and biden's watch, as did russian meddling and the dirty dossier, phis abuse and all things corruption and abuse of power. house g.o.p. demanding answers tonight, especially from the compromised, congenital liar adam schiff. why? he is still blocking the release of the russian probe transcripts that are for no reason being with health, other than exposing him as a bigger liar. because he lies. he is corrupt, he is a congenital liar, and he is compromised. and he is ramping up his campaign against the president. and that crazy person that you see on your screen actually suggested he could've reduced

coronavirus death if the sham impeachment trial had removed him from office. well, you're a little late. mr. schiff, the president was on on january 31st, you were there with your adam schiff show, by e way, your latest hopes. and considering that president trump release the transcripts, i think obama should release everything. anyway, the fbi today released a statement defending director raise leadership. is director wray going to hold the deep state accountable. it's been a long time, are you going to call out the massive abuse of power, corruption? will you restore faith in what is the premier law enforcement institution? what do you want your legacy to be? do you want truth and justice to prevail? or will you preserve and protect the institution just for the sake of protecting it because you are not protecting anything. by the way, what we have uncovered is an undeniable abuse of power. also tonight, breaking, i'm told the new document still under

protective order in the flynn case will move us closer and closer to a deep state reckoning. here to explain, republican congressman jim jordan, michael flynn's attorney, sidney powell. you got some today, you can't tell us what they are. my sources say within the next ten days there is going to be bombshell after bombshell. do you have any idea what that might be? >> we've been asking for a number of documents for a long time, not the least of which is the original 302, the fbi report of the interview that we know has been altered to create false statements because general flynn was honest with them from day one. and they made up the false statements. they are also drafts of that, at least one draft that we can identify by virtue of the peter strzok lisa page text messages. we did get a few more text messages today that fell on the gap still i in the january time frame in the february time frame and a few more emails. >> sean: where is the 302, the

original one? >> that hasn't showed up yet but i'm sure it's there. the sentinel the fbi has does not lose things. >> sean: that is a great point. jim jordan, i know the attorney general -- i know for fact come all my sources confirming, he pushed to get this plan information out. director ray has been out there for how long customer two years now? >> yeah. >> i don't see any urgency from him. bill barr is doing his job, i believe durham is doing his job. i get mixed messages on director ray. i don't see any urgency. you set up a series of questions. what has the response been? >> the attorney general is doing his job, sidney powell is doing her job. director wray, give us information in the letter we sent you the other day. we asked for documents, namely the 302 that has been changed by peter strzok, none other than peter strzok, the key player in the clinton investigations in the trump-russia investigation's. let's see that 302 and more

portly, make the agent available who was there with peter strzok when they set up general flynn. joe p anka, we would like to talk to him beer that is what we spell out in our letter , let us talk to the guy who was there whose 302 was altered. that document and that individual, we would love to have a chance to ask him a few key questions. >> sean: any indications, sidney powell, how joe sullivan in your case representing general flynn is reacting to all this new information? with all due respect i think he kind of messed up on the brady law and i think all this new information proves that. to be respectful, will he vacate what is obviously and a verdict that with exculpatory information withheld? >> i expect him to apply the law, and that is going to mandate that the plea be withdrawn and the guilty plea vacated. it simply cannot stand. no conviction could stand on this by any means whatsoever.

>> sean: okay, jim jordan, why didn't director wray release this immediately? >> i don't know. >> sean: why did we wait this long -- >> i don't know. >> sean: why did it take the attorney general to do this? >> i don't know but hopefully he will make it available and give us those documents we want and frankly adam schiff will release those transcripts. remember, adam schiff is the guy who publicly release the phone records of the president's personal attorney. released the phone records of the press, of a republican member of congress, adam schiff. so adam schiff, release the transcripts your committee has voted to make public. adam schiff, give us that information, director wray, give us access to this agent who was there when they set up general flynn and give us that original 302. >> sean: thank you both. were watching closely. free general flynn and the rest of them. roger stone, george papadopoulos, manna ford , none of that should've happened.

up next, is china pushing for a cold war with the united states? gordon chain , senator tom cotton, they will weigh in. later, a bombshell report about nbc news under investigation. we've got all the breaking details, and wow, that hard-hitting new show "the view" agreed with me. i've got to rethink my positions, straight ahead.

♪ >> sean: in our china update tonight, they are doubling down on their efforts to deflect responsibility from the virus cover-up, but a new report says some accountability may in fact be coming, and that beijing may receive a global backlash over the virus, and it comes as the european union is now calling for an independent investigation into the coronavirus' origins. here now for reaction, gordon chain, senator tom cotton. reports that the chinese government -- one conspiracy theory after another, senator cotton, and that they live, and that 95% of this reporting to that u.k. study could've been prevented prevented. but now -- and they picked up all the ppe and safety equipment that they could and they are selling it at a profit and they wouldn't allow travel to wuhan,

how more culpable could they be here and how could they pay for what they did in this case? >> sean, it seems like almost every day there is new evidence of chinese culpability and their malevolence here. as you say they continue to dole out international air travel, even if they knew this virus was highly contagious. they cracked down their own people, they're still doing it to this day. they destroyed a lot of evidence about the origin of this virus. this is why so many around the world view china as a pariah state and they should. it calls for an international investigation, like the european union and australia are making, going to fall on deaf ears in china and that's only going to raise the stakes for making china pay for this pandemic. some things like changing our sovereignty laws and making sure americans can sue the chinese officials who are responsible for this pandemic, there a lot of overdue actions as well, like

bringing our manufacturing base back to the united states to quit let china taking our jobs and stealing our intellectual property. i think that is going to be a big part of the reaction you see from congress and the months ahead. >> sean: gordon, what insights do you have or may be into their thinking having studied china in understanding how they are reacting there and to what they are thinking as they've been building up their military, they've been trying to compete with us, get ahead of us on 5g. you know, they covered us up from the world. now there is talk that they would want to start a conflict over this. should we believe any of that? >> i think what we've got to be very concerned about is that the communist party leaders feel themselves cornered. they feel that all these calls for investigations that senator cotton mentioned a really mortal threats to the party, because they know that something really wrong is going to be exposed, and as

senator cotton said, their actions have been malicious in terms of deliberately taking actions that would inevitably lead to the spread of the virus outside of china's borders. so this is the crime of the century. chinese leaders know it, they know they have no defense, and therefore they are acting belligerently. this is a very dangerous period. >> sean: how much worse was it there, do you know, gordon? >> how much worse? >> sean: in other words, the virus. we know they covered up the real numbers of deaths, we know they lied the whole time. i mean, they wouldn't allow any travel in or out of wuhan or within china but they allow travel to stay open for the world. how many people do we think died there? >> probably 49,000, may be 50,000 and wuhan alone. i'm sure there were a number of deaths. there have been clusters of disease all throughout the country. we are seeing a second wave. when you think about the death toll cometh going to be, i

suppose, around 60,000, but we really don't know, because they have been extraordinary in covering up this. so we can only guess but it's many multiples of what they've been reporting. >> sean: it is estimated, i think, senator, correct me if i'm wrong, over a trillion dollars of debt they hold for the united states. i don't hear the and of people saying, why would we pay any of it back because of the damage this country's had to pay for because of their lies and cover up? >> that is only the tip of the iceberg. we should be exploring every avenue that is available and that is proven and that will protect the american people from ever having this kind of pandemic unleashed on the world again from china. it's not the first time one of these outbreaks have originated in china, and recouping the losses that we have suffered so badly over these last several months. we can't bring those lives back but we can help make some of those families hole. we can get jobs back, we can

bring businesses back from china. we can ensure that china never has this kind of leverage over us, and that they have no chance to achieve their long-term ambition of replacing the united states is the world's preeminent power. >> sean: well said. thank you both for what you're doing. when we come back on nbc news reportedly now under investigation by the new york attorney general. trace gallagher has that full report. in the left continues to prove just how hypocritical they are when it comes to biden's sexual assault allegations. we will explain. we have an update. more hypocrisy straight ahead.

motor? nope. not motor? it's pronounced "motaur."

♪ >> sean: the psychotic hate-trump media mob, they are scrambling after a shake-up at nbc news, soon-to-be former german anti-locke is out. trace gallagher standing live in our west coast newsroom with our report. wow, attorney general, chris matthews, pat lauer, andy luck. a lot of big names they are. >> without the departure was a big story here until tucker carlson was told the new york attorney general is investigating a litany of

sexual assault claims. you will recall it was and a lack who refused to air ronan farrow's expose on the sexual assault allegations against harvey weinstein, saying it wasn't fit for air. so ronan pharaoh took it to the new yorker in won a pulitzer. it was also andy lack that decided the sexual assault allegations by matt lauer should be investigated by fellow nbc executives instead of outside investigators. nbc news told us it's not aware of any inquiry by the new york attorney general, which is odd, considering former nbc correspondent and fox news anchor linda vester said the new york ag's office interviewed her about the investigation three months ago. >> sean: yeah, i tend to believe them. that is my take. trace gallagher will follow that story. and in the 2020 raise, one time i-believe-her types are lining up behind biden.

speaker pelosi, one of the most prominent hypocrites. let's take a look. >> now that he's given this answer, do you view this as a closed issue? or what is your response? >> well, it is for me. i have said i am proud to support joe biden for president. i believe him when he said it didn't happen but i also believe him when he says let them look into the records, that is what they should do. but to answer the question, again, i will just say i have every confidence that joe biden will be a great president of the united states. >> sean: okay, all the i-believe-hers. then there is elizabeth warren. joe biden's muddled response to tara reade allegations, credible and convincing. here with reaction fox news contributor dan bongino and reporter at large were >> sean: i'ma presumption of ine person far across the board but there is a far more

witnesses and a phone call in the tara reade case that they dismissed versus the cases against brett kavanaugh. >> if you are weighing the evidence in one case against the other i think they are very similar. >> sean: they are not, no witnesses, no corroboration, no police report. no mom called to larry king. speak of the biggest news is that believe all women as long as they are accusing republicans, that is what is red here, is that you strip away the rage and the sanctimony in me too is just politics by another name. that is what is so incredibly disappointing. all that sincerity, all that passion that made this an issue is now revealed to be just empty politics. it is in some ways so disappointing that you have a legitimate movement that seems very credible until you introduce politics from the other point of view and then they collapse. all the paragons of virtue

suddenly become, i like him, he's credible to me, he is just fine. they surrender their principles or they never had them to begin with, and they just use this news event to become, you know, paragons of public statesmanship. >> sean: what geraldo is saying, you are and i believe her if it is against a republican. it is a never-believe-her if it's a democrat, even if there's more credibility behind the allegation. >> liberals who pushed brett kavanaugh to pull his name out and push for an fbi investigation, you are a disgrace. the liberals who did that and are now, sean -- let me be clear what i'm talking about. the liberals who pushed that and are now suspiciously silent now. you are disgrace, you are disgusting, you are horrible, awful people. how do you wake up and look at yourself in the mirror? you destroyed what i believed to

be an innocent man's life and brett kavanaugh. i have to disagree with geraldo. i don't think these cases are similar at all. ford didn't produce any evidence. back in the witnesses she claimed said, what are you talking about, i don't remember any of that. ms. reed, i don't remember what happened, joe biden is entitled to the presumption of innocence. she may not of been telling the truth but at least she had some evidence, including the phone call. but liberals, this is disgusting. where are you? you wanted brett kavanaugh's life ruined and now you are toty silent? this is grotesque. >> sean: don't you hate it when you agree with geraldo? you like it better when you fight. >> sometimes even me and geraldo -- >> sean: great point. ouch. >> i'm just getting. >> sean: by the way come up next, hell has apparently frozen over, joyless behar of the hard-hitting new shows be 24 apparently agrees with me. i must reevaluate straight ahead.

>> sean: "the view"'s joyless behar, something halfway decent to say about me. >> first of all, things are really bad when even sean hannity is out there telling these crazy people to stop it, just stop it. i don't say they are terrorists but they are certainly intimidator's. they are trying to intimidate people with this and there's radio silence on the right, by the way, besides sean hannity, i have bent seeing anyone else say

something like that, have you? >> sean: all right, i will take it. before we go, order a copy of my new book, "live free or die," and a beautiful gift for mom for mother's day. let not your heart be troubled, laura. >> laura: was joy behar giving you a little love, hannity? i think she likes you. she likes you. >> sean: i can answer that. no, she doesn't. >> laura: there's a little bit of -- you know when you hate-love someone? she kind of has a hate-love for you. it's cute. i sensed it. there's a little spark there and i don't -- >> sean: let me say this. i don't care, at this point in my life, what anyone thinks of me. >> laura: you're just a guy. if someone said that, like, i don't care. what is football season going to be onga
