10:00 pm
better for people, that's for sure. it is a long history of moments like this hurting people who don't have a lot. thank you so much for coming on tonight. great to see you. >> thank you. >> sean: we are completely out of time, and about three seconds wake up the great sean hannity takes over for 9:00 p.m. in new york. >> in new york, another night of angry protests to minneapolis as people are gathering for the place over the death of george floyd, handcuffed black man who died in police custody. the city is under a state of emergency at this hour. these pictures explain why. this is the third consecutive night of an arrest in minneapolis and it has spread prompting the mayor and the governor of minnesota to help her help from the national guard. it is not just minnesota feeling the heat from this. throughout the day, the scenes in new york, denver and chicago.
10:01 pm
minneapolis with smoke, tear gas among others looming over the scene of one direct -- across the street from the police station which would torch. and the last 30 minutes or so the city of minneapolis with a twitter page tweeting about unconfirmed reports of a gas line being cut and other explosive materials in the third precinct and the police station i was just tweeting about, the lines might have been cut. they are asking if you or anyone you know is around the area to leave in the event that that building explodes. again, that was the city of minneapolis whose official twitter page about 30 minutes ago. as we mentioned earlier, this was triggered by the death monday of george floyd. since then the minneapolis police officers have been fired. video from bystander and showed floyd lying on the ground and said he could not breathe. a white officer knelt on his
10:02 pm
neck. he also kept his knee there several minutes after the man stopped moving. the firing was the right call. fbi and state authorities are investigating the matter, but the leaders of many black communities across the country would like to see the arresting officer charged immediately. many are comparing george floyd's death to the case of a black man who died in 2014 in new york city. this was after being placed in a police choke hold. we will continue to monitor the situation in minneapolis throughout the morning. for now, we will send you back to "hannity" in already in progress. i am ashley stroman in new york. >> you can see the officers and if you look at the videos,
10:03 pm
video have histories of public complaints. >> and anonymously posting on social media, hardly anyone defending what we see on the videotape. it is clear, look at your screen it shows that george floyd was not resisting arrest but a counterfeit $20 bill, not a violent crime from what we know and anyone in law enforcement will tell you, once you have someone in handcuffs not resisting, that fight is over. they are the professionals and speaking personally i have seven years experience in mixed martial arts. i am a student, i'm not an now, expert by any stretch of the imagination. i'm a passionate student but i know this much, mike the self defense training includes how to respond if a dangerous threat emerges in part of that response is often a targeted strike. these are strikes i frankly practice daily. now when you train, you learn quickly that there are very specific areas to strike if you
10:04 pm
your life is being threatened. the neck is by far the most vulnerable part of anyone's anatomy. thatat video shows what one targeted single strike, that we will show you in a minute, to the carotid artery will do. mr. floyd was not resisting, get the cop is sitting on his neck for 8 minutes. one strike can take somebody to his knees and cut off the blood to the brain. every law enforcement official enforcement official analysis the same thing, this is excessive and extreme the dangerous use of force and none of it was necessary. now i say it all theex time. my mom was a prison guard. i have so many come with my family and my cousins in law enforcement. i believe the 99 percent do their job with the utmost professionalism. but these types of abuses, 1% need to be called out when wehe
10:05 pm
see them. and it has caused outrage among everybody almost unanimously around the country. they give every cop sadly a bad name. 99 percent don't deserve this,ly either. that's a precious life without me on the neck and it didn't have to be this way. now, the entire country is almost unanimous in their discussed at what they are seeing and peaceful protests, frankly, in my mind are justifiable and understandable. the protests, the riots, the destruction of property that we were witnessing last night and we are seeing more of tonight as you look at life pictures is not the answer. this is not a way to honor george floyd's life. this incident is sadly being used by some to engage in abhorrent criminal behavior that is putting the entire city and neighborhood at risk. take a look. >> [chanting] hands up, don't shoot!
10:06 pm
hands up, don't shoot! >> come on, we've got ago. >> sean: that's not a way to build stronger communities and carve out a positive path forward for our kids and grandkids. so you looters and your rioters, that has nothing to do with a moment of justice. that has nothing to do with solidarity. according to many reports mr. floyd was turning his life around. he lost his job at a restaurant and he wasrd trying to move forward with his life. these displays of violence don't honor his life, they do just the opposite. burning down stores, looting, rioting, it puts everybody in the community, citizens, children, innocent cops, children in harm's way. it destroys the lives of many working people and business owners who have already been
10:07 pm
struggling enough. we don't need more hate andus hysteria and at this time of turmoil. president trump to his credit acted immediately. he ordered the fbi and the justice of civil rights division to fully investigate the case. he said it is under way and he has ordered them to expedite this investigation. it is now "a top priority for the doj, were investigators and prosecutors.it here's a president from earlier today. take a look. >> president trump: i feel very, very badly. it was a very shocking site, and bill and i were talking about it before, that's one of the reason right now because as you know we are very much involved. i've asked the attorney general and the fbi to take a very strong look and to see what went on because that was a very bad thing that i saw. i saw it last night and i didn't like it. >> sean: unfortunately that swift decisive action is not stopping those who politicize everything. far left democrats, the media
10:08 pm
mob and others from needlessly politicizing the tragedy. axiom water is having another new level blaming the president for the tragedy. it's sickening. here's a lookno at her remarks n tmz. >> i'm reflecting on all of the killings of young black men in particular, but of course black women, too, at the hands of the police and at the hands of these white supremacists. and i'm thinking about the way that the president conducts himself. in a way, he is dog whistling and in a feeling that they can get away with this kind of treatment. >> sean: a predictable and sad, colin kaepernick has stepped into this and seems to be in my interpretation as i read his remarks backing what's going on in the minneapolis. when civility leads to death, revolting is the only logical b reaction.
10:09 pm
rap star cardi b saying, when people are left with no choice. no choice, what, to riots? dilute? -- c to loot? more hate and more division is unacceptable. it's putting an entire communite in harm's way. it is no need to put more people's livelihoods in jeopardy. and if you don't wante to listen to me, okay. how about listening and honoring george floyd's family? his girlfriend telling the "star tribune" "waking up this morning to see minneapolis on fire would be something thatta devastated florida." -- floyd. so let's make sure we honor mr. floyd's memory. with quick justice. not using what happened here as a pretext to commit acts of violence and making the problem worse. we are also working tonight some of the officers seen on this video have histories of public complaints. we will continue to follow that
10:10 pm
story.he here with more reaction, fox news contributor dan bongino. a correspondent at large, geraldo rivera. you know i've been looking. every person i know in law enforcement are aghast at this video. every single one. not one exception. every conservative i know is outraged. the president acted swiftly and was adamant in his remarks from the get-go. >> thank god for that, sean. but this wasn't just murder. g this was torture. this was cool. -- cruel. this was kind of wanton reckless disregard for a man's life. and this was the smug look as passersby were telling them that
10:11 pm
george ford was dying, right there. and that would cut off the artery and cause permanent brain damage, if not the death that eventually happened. it is horrifying and i say this. i cannot for a second with 50 years experience, this happened because it was a white cop and a black man and we have to deal with that as we go forward. that is horrifying, and what that cop did, that's the miracle i don't think we will ever forget.
10:12 pm
>> sean: for people looking on the right of the screen, that's a damage from last night. that is happening right now. i am watching people and they are actually -- they are getting in front of it, and i'm like, you've got to be kidding me.'m and i'm like, you have to be kidding me. >> no, this is grotesque. i don't know how they think this is contributing and bankrupting and destroying businesses in their own community. that civilth disobedience that t violence. the first person who threw the bottle got arrested and the second person that threw the bottle got arrested.t there is no third person that threw the bottle. that's just the way it went down. community is entitled toat polie protection, too.
10:13 pm
i understand i spoke about you at length last that people are angry. night on the radio show and your program here. i'm angry, too.ic what this police officer did was disgusting. it is hard to fathom. geraldo's analysis of it, i wouldn't inject race into it, i think it's humanity but the smugness on the face of the officer is disturbing. and shawn, another thing about this video. this is positional asphyxiation. when you are thrown down on the ground with your hands behind you, i want everyone to remember it's hard to breathe with your hands behind you prone on the ground as it is. if you add someone's weight on top of you come handcuff someone and then put your weight on their neck? as i said to you last night i'm stunned mr. floyd lived as longg as he did, it's unbelievably dangerous. >> sean: and geraldo, look at this. we have the cops assaulted in new york, we have other
10:14 pm
incidents where looting and rioting occurred and we have videotapes. we can identify every single person that was in the target and the other stores that were looted but we never go back and it arrest them. why? because like dan said if you get the person one, two, three four, and people know there will be consequences, you are not going to have as much of this in my opinion.n. >> you know the worst of it? i've covered these riots. i've had to cover almost everyone in the five decades n nce. it takes a minimum of ten years for these communities to recover from these. when you burn affordable housing that they were building in this third precinct here in minneapolis, burning affordable housing, who knows if they have
10:15 pm
insurance, probably not. this is a self-inflicted wound and it defames the memory of this poor man. it is an insult to the memory of this poor man. >> sean: if you have to pray for the family and the city, the family has called for peace and i hope people heated.n: i don't like what i'm seeing on the right side of your screen, that's a live shot in minneapolis at 15 minutes past the hour, 8:00 central time. thank you both. we are monitoring the situation closely tonight. at mike tobin joins us for minneapolis. mike, i just saw you in front of that burning car and i saw guys taking selfies in front of the cards. i'm not sure exactly why, what would be the point of that? what's going on tonight and compare last night to tonight. >> the point of that is, they are whipping up. two different groups.
10:16 pm
there are some people out here who are mourning the death of george floyd. the people out here are calling for change and other people who are looting stores and burning cars. you can see they are piling more stuff on it right now, to see if they canu get the fire accelerated more. just a short distance from here there was tear gas and that occurred when the paramedics showed up to work on a couple injured t people on the ground d the cops just needed to get the paramedics some space to work. these people know that the hennepin county attorney mike freeman is investigating. the u.s. attorney erica mcdonald, she is investigating as well, with the backing of the u.s. president, with the backing of the u.s. attorney general. these people out there don't think it's fast enough and don't think it's working. and they don't trust the process. >> sean: mike tobin, thank you tonight.
10:17 pm
we turn now to have another big breaking story. another executive order fighting back against silicon valley and a censorship of conservatives. by the way i thought the left, the media didn't like interference in the elections. now they interpret the communications decency act as not providing special protections for silicon valley titans like twitter and facebook thatid are engaged in censorshi, not just offering an opportunity for people to post but political conduct often against conservatives. there is a distinction. so what does that mean? that means that if they in fact make changes, that would make them liable. they are not liable for defamatory that appears on their platform, but because they might now be engaged in publishing decisions and deciding and editing, the president is making it very clear, that liability should not apply to them any longer going forward. here is the president and attorney general barr earlier this evening.
10:18 pm
>> president trump: today i'm signing an executive order to protect and uphold the rights of the american people. currently social media giants like twittereo receive an unprecedented liability shield based on the theory that they are a neutral platform which they are not. as president i will not allow people to be bullied, for a long time. >> when they start censoring the particular content, including in many cases the direction of foreign governments like communist china, they become publishers and they shouldn't be entitled to the same kind of shield that was set up earlier. >> sean: if you are a pure content provider, let people pose freely. you don't become an editor, then you don't have the liability to be a publisher. this move comes just days after twitter took the unprecedented
10:19 pm
move of fact-checking the president's tweets about fraud and mail and voting despite what we all know our legitimate evidence concerns about voting by mail, especially mass voting. of course we are continuing to learn more about the rampant bias outside of twitter. for example, a twitter employee linked to the platform, so-called fact-checkingbi effor, that person has a history of pretty vile anti-trump tweeting. for example, the company's head of site integrity. really? tweeted after the 2016 election, we fly over those states that voted for a recessed tangerine for a reason. did that sound like someone committed to fair and unbiased fact-checking? hey, at jack, that's your fact-checker. does that sound like someone who should have a voice in how target the presidents twitter had page? and by the way, your liability
10:20 pm
will be yours if you continue downe this road. you are going to take on the role of fact-checking and also take on the role of responsibility. by the way, you may not want to use a fake news cnn, the toilet paper times or "the washington post." or msnbc. is twitter going to go back and flag all their phony stories, what about their lives like justice kavanaugh or just a small at being the victim of a hate crime? of one about their lives of the coveted high school kids and at that particular case, i tip the balance of free media to the democrats. now, they all need to get the help that they needed and admit printed quote joe joe biden's incoherent ramblings and forgetfulness but here is a small example in the last 24 hours and other bizarre
10:21 pm
moments. take a look. >> the president put me in charge of getting out the recovery money which was 800 -- it was almost $89 billion. i guess it came to 84 at the end. >> delaware used to be part of pennsylvania. >> that's right. but we declared our independence on december 7th, by the way, not just th the day, anyway, but one of the things, we somehow put that back on and we are somehow in a situation where, we work together. >> sean: joining us now, author of the book "offers this book," most of the rubin report, dave rubin, alongside mike huckabee. if you've been following joe biden very closely throughout all of this and you always have a great sense ofng humor about it. but that again added to
10:22 pm
everything else makes you conclude? >> the fact is he prided himself on wearing a mask the other day at the memorial ceremony.ms the truth is, that was not a mask, that was a gag. his staff put it on him to keep him from saying something that they would spend the next three days walking back. joe is in trouble. because he cannot put a sentence together and one of these days he will have to stand on the stage with president trump and it will be a very ugly site to say the least. >> sean: mr. ruben, you deal with this all the time. all right, now if twitter wants to be a straight up contentt provider, the laws are very clear. if you want to fight to change it, go ahead. if the rules are crystal clear. do you want to be a content provider or a publisher? a turning editing, you are by every definition in my mind a publisher. >> your intro there was perfect because you laid it out. i fall more on the libertarian
10:23 pm
side of this so i wouldn't want to tromp inserting government bureaucrats inside these big tech companies. that's not what he did. what he said is, we are going to strip you, if you act as a publisher -- they are explicitly telling you that they can limit the availability of certain tweets. >> sean: unfortunately we have a little audio problem. we will view the final words of mike huckabee. >> i think it is pretty simple and dave said it pretty well. you can be a platform meaning you are a common carrier like the title and telephone company, you provide the lines. you don't get to referee the conversation and two people have come up that's one model. that's what they claim they are, and what they are doing is they
10:24 pm
are referring the content and deciding who wins and who loses and they've become a monopoly. not just a social media platform, it's no different than when the government busted up at&t or the major utilities were busted up because there were monopolies and if they were filled with the lack of competition. that's not free enterprise. i'm proud of the president, thank goodness he had some guts and did what he data, beenit waiting on that for a long time. >> sean: i agree with both of you. i don't want any involvement or any censorship. dave, sorry about the audio issues, we apologize to our audience as well. when we come back we will be monitoring a situation in minneapolis.r youud will see the live pictures and bring youk updates. my cuban's back with us next and lauren jones investigative report talking to the families that lost loved ones of thek nursing home scandal in new york

boost consumer confidence. good to see you again. >> let me tell you, your math segment was invaluable. thank you so much for doing th that. >> sean: the truth is the truth and this is one thing that nobody is disagreeing on what happens. i think i might actually want sports more than you. we all want to return to normalcy. but you are a billionaire. the reason are,o americans are craving normalcy. if you take care of the elderly like your governor did, they didn't really come up really well protecting the most vulnerable. stupid decisions. they put covid-19 patients in nursing homes, and that was third of all the deaths. >> everybody made them perfect

decisions with imperfect information. i'm not saying new york certainly made mistakes but so did everyone, look at other places that had meat processing plants where 20% of the population is now stricken with covid. it's hard to deal with in the circumstances. it's hard to cast the blame and not. >> sean: all the models and predictions were wrong. but, all those who remain consistent, protect the elderly. they were telling them, we can't handle this. protect the elderly. also in the epicenter of this, i can't argue with that at all. and that's a great reason to wear a mask. nobody at these local stores got sick. >> i can't argue with that at all.

>> sean: i like ideas. i don't care where the idea comes from, but you said, use it or lose that debit card. and what, $101,200, you have a certain period of time to stimulate the economy. the problem is we spent $3 trillion, another trillion in loan guarantees. the country can't afford this, we have to reopen. >> i'm not saying we don't reopened but the question is, and i will even put the hit on the democrats. when the ppp program wasas initiated, it was a great plan but the key to make it work was getting the money in the hands of businesses immediately. so when the democrats started over negotiating, that created a delay and that meant that small businesses had to lay people off. once small businesses laid people off, and that now leaves

small businesses in the state of suspended animation. they are not open all the way yet, they don't have all the demand back, and 68% of them are making more money and unemployment. so what we need to do in order to change that, is to stimulate demand. thele way to stimulate demand is to give people checks that they have to spend.nd the other way is whether a state closed, the only way oat they can justify and afford to bring employees back particularly after july 31st when the enhanced unemployment runs out is by having demand. so right now, people are saving 14.4% of our income and thus the most it has been in 40 years, that's a problem we need to solve. >> sean: here's my last question. you can have these temperature

check turnstiles, and i'm not trying to discriminate.e. we can ask older people for the time being to stay away from stadiums come out for stadiums to start. you could give everyone a dallas mavericks mask or yankeea mask, patriotse mask, we have robert kraft on. and safely open that way. why wouldn't we try that based on the lessons we learned from the kids that was stocking the shelf every week? >> one thing, the temperature checks don't work because you chew up a couple of extra strength tylenol and you defeat the system. we need to understand how we do it on scale. it's not like a grocery store where you let one out and let one end, it'sst a lot harder whn you have thousands of people going in. >> sean: they have these turnstiles where you walk right through. you push people through t immediately. you are right about the tylenol. please look out for the neighbors and if you have a temperature, stay home. we want you open, we want stadiums open and if we can do it safely, we will figure it out, we are americans. w wanup next, the doj spokespen

this. u.n. ambassadors and some of the powers unmasking exponentially, you have susan rice, john brennan, james clapper, and others all involved,, these were not targets or is working for the cia or in the intelligence apparatus, that was their job to investigate. or maybe unmask americans. these were people in the administration whose job was not to investigate but they were political. so where these unmaskings political?e the one crime we know was committed was a crime of leaking michael flynn's conversation with former russian ambassador sergey keithley act to "the washington post." that's a crime that no one has paid for because that was a private conversation. he was an american citizen, his name should have never been made public at a classified conversation like that should have never been made public. that's a lot of issues that john bass should have been looking out.

watch. >> nursing homes are full and all their clientele are frail. some of these people, like my mother, she died alone. and i find that unconscionable. there was a lockdown put on visitation andnd additionally, right up until the time she passed, our contact wasn't what it was used to being. >> they said your mom may have contracted it from someone else within the facility. >> is absently possible because in the discussion i had there with the staff member, they talked about how their staff internally was kind of limited. they really had their work cut out for them. hold responsible for this? >> i will start at the top and hold the governor of new york state health commission responsible which lends itself to the statement that our governor made, and i can't believe he's backpedaling now about this. my mother is not expendable, your mother is not expendable. and i get the sense that maybe my mother was expendable and i
