, or what hannity just said or ring hannity up while h his -- >> he's called hannity about the nuclearrms deal, about national security. presidents usually don't turn to a.m. talk show hosts to get all of their national security. do you think these guys were talking on secure lines? they're spilling secrets? >> the white house side of the lines should be secure. >> there's no protection here, hannity is just going off nonstop with him. >> let me push you, you are what's known in the business a hannity hater. what if this is just the fact that you don't like this particular person. what if it was, i'll pick a name, and people get upset no matter what name you said. can you pinpoint for viewer whether you agree with him or not, why sean hannity -- >> it was kind of a source of information, you bounced thing off them. talking to sean hannity is entirely different. sean hannity was pushing the seth rich conspiracy theory, after trump was elected. this is that awful story about the young d.c. staffer who was murdered. fox news dragged this poor kidthroukid through the mud, the family is sui

producer of hannity's show. i think that direction is ra really interesting piece of this. trump is giving advice and guidance for hannity's show on a nightly basis. the story says on some days hannity and trump speak multiple times with one of them calling the other to, quote, inform them of the latest developments. >> doug, i mean, we've seen relationships between presidents and members of the press before or opinion, you know, radio hosts or television hosts. ben bradley had a close relationship with jfk, certainly posed problems for him, but have we ever seen anything like this before? >> no. really nothing like this. this is quite bizarre. the very fact that the fbi had to raid michael cohen's office to find out that sean hannity was a client just like donald trump, the fact of the matter is, it's not about donald trump trying to influence fox, it's sean hannity telling donald trump what to do and what to think. you know, there are -- in some ways perfectly made for each other. they both feed off the right

sean hannity declared to him when he said the president reimbursed michael cohen, that sean hannity didn't know that. and, of course, none of us knew that. >> no, none of us knew that. 30 years ago, 35 years ago, rudy giuliani was a great prosecutor. he was a great lawyer. he and a few others took down the new york mob. he was really good. but that was then. and if you have followed rudy in recent years, remember his speech at the republican convention in 2016, for example. which was -- unhinged is a polite way of describing it. he is not on top of his game or any game i would argue, and i couldn't understand why he was chosen for the legal team except to be someone the president likes, someone around the president trusts and maybe he could communicate with the president in a way that others can't. so i thought maybe that could be useful. but for him to come out tonight and just sort of destroy their previous position on the stormy daniels case and possibly expose the president to -- and michael cohen to all sorts of legal jeopardy they've been trying to avoid is just stunning. it's absolu

so listen to this moment. >> i then spoke to sean hannity, which everybody refuses to call sean hannitynnity at fox and sean hannity said and he called me the other day, and i spo to h about it. heaid you were totally against the war because he was for the war. >> so people didn't know if that was actually a reliable narrator given their relationship. there's also a question whether or not the president produces sean hannity's show of the do you have any sense of how involved he is in the programming level? >> based on my reporting i know that they do speak about the show sometimes. the president obviously very publicly tweets about the show sometimes before its on. he tells people when it's going to be on and where they can watch it and to tune in. it does seem as though fox and the white house are in communication quite a bit but one of the white house officials who i spoke to for this story, someone currently there was sort of complaining about the fact that, they don't always know what's going to be on fox news and they have to react to it as the president reacts to it publicly. if

the state is fox and hannity-run state.ing this is just coming out, but this has been my understanding since the beginning, that hannity calls in trump. the outputs of that would be the tremendous air cover trump gave nunes over the objections, the grave concerns of his own appointee, the man running the fbi. this seems like very welcome reporting, but something that's been going on since the beginning. >> and of concern, right. >> grave concern to borrow a word from ray. >> donald trump and sean hannity would be that perfect match we see on commercial television on late night tv. bromance rooted in alternative facts. but unfortunately this is the president of the united states who, if he is seeking wise and fair counsel, there are others he should be seeking it from, not from a television news host who has already said he's not even a journalist, right, he's an entertainment news host is what sean hannity has said about himself. this reflects the shallowness of the counsel that donald trump gets. he does not rely on the pr

let's go to the issue of sean hannity. everybody is making a big deal how these guys are chatting on the phone every night after tv broadcast by sean. what's it about? what do you make of it? >> well, one, i don't think it's very important. if the president is playing to just the fox news audience, i guess it's important. but back to i think the central issue we're discussing, chris, and the context, which is about mueller, which is if the president wants to win over the public opinion, he is going to need to talk to all of us. he is going to need a spokesperson whose actually got his facts correct, who actually knows what he is talking about. the president's biggest liability right now is not sean hannity. it's the president. the president is an undisciplined client. i would never want to represent someone like him. and giuliani is an undisciplined lawyer. the both of them together are a mess. so if i'm mueller, i want to give him the opportunity to talk to me voluntarily. and if not, as your other guests have just said,

someone should tell that to sean hanni hannity.ering away at the mueller probe since the beginning and he's claiming that mueller's found nothing and it's all a sham, itself. but media matters, a liberal group that tracks what trump does, showing how hannity has been doing this, how he's been spreading anti mueller rhetoric, music to trump's ears. they basically just crunch the numbers here to find out what hannity's been saying over the past year, there's been 254 episodes of hannity's show since then, including 487 segments featuring the probe. there were 256 segments including media criticism involving the mueller probe and so on and so on. this is helpful data because it speaks to how hannity is repetitive, how he says the same thing over and over again, convincing his audience, the mueller probe is a witch hunt, when in fact there's already been a bunch of witches found. joining me now the columnist for the "new york times," is handy the tip of the spear in this -- >> he has millions of viewers, huge prime time audience, and w

all of this stems what we heard initially from an interview with sean hannity. take a listen. >> i was talking about the $130,000 payment, the settlement payment. the only violation is was there a campaign finance violation, that was money that was paid by his lawyer the way i would do out of his law firm funds or whatever funds. >> that was part of the explanation we got there. there's a couple of things there that stick out. number one, he worked obviously in the southern district here. he knowes it es it's not a stor trooper issue. he said the biggest issue here would be a fine. is the biggest issue that there could be a fine from the sec and a slap on the wrist and now we move forward? >> no. there could be the impeachment of the united states. >> over this? over a payment? >> this is part of a picture that could lead to obstruction of justice charges and other thanksgiving th things that might support impeachment. the trouble i have with the giuliani statement is having represented many people charged with crimes the lawyer sits down with the client and say

it was so over-the-top that fox news turn on hannity.may 23rd reluctantly agree to stop embarrassing the network but he still kept at it. it turned out there was a conspiracy. instead it was reported in august that the wealthy trump supporter backing wheeler had been in contact with the white house and fox news about efforts to claim the dnc and clinton had been murdered. they have real cost and not just on election outcomes. he suffered greatly because of the exploitation of the murder. every day we wake up to new headlines, factual errors, people approaching the to take advantage in the "washington post" on may 23rd. it just won't stop you do stop you the amount of pain and anguish that has caused us is unbearable and we are forced to relive us more memories turn away from us. it demonstrates the moral depravity and nihilism over 21st century conservative america more than the white bread conspiracy theories. the proliferation is rapidly degrading public discourse which is what lol nothing matters has become the dark internet joke of o

a sean hannity interview. sean hannity is in the president's kitchen cabinet. he is basically an advisor to the president. it is more than a friendly interview. rudy giuliani is in the president's kitchen cabinet and at the time he was a lawyer. it just defies belief to imagine that he wasn't briefed or that it was a set-up or some kind of weird freelancing. i think he believed he was doing what the legal team thought was best at the time and i suspect it is because, look. it is almost certain that special counsel or other prosecutors have the financial paper trail of these transactions and know who paid what. so to speculate for a second, you can imagine if they know where the money is coming from and it is obviously coming from the president, that lays out this campaign finance problem which ken was talking about. so i think that rudy was trying to clean it up but made a second problem in cleaning it up. it just goes to show you how tangled this web is. >> are you saying that the intent perhaps was to acknowledge that the payment was made, that donald trump h

sean hannity from new york city. >> sean: great show as always. welcome to "hannity." president trump's attorney, rudy giuliani, making massive nizam's program. he took james james comey to to much more, but tonight, this abuse of revised news media in this country, they only cared about one space my 32nd clip. weip had a 40 minute interview. all making news. this regarding revelations around stormy, stormy, stormy. we are you how insane, ridiculous the anti-terms of media and their echo chamber has become in this country. plus we have breaking developments tonight over the fbi's investigation into michael cohen. earlier today, fake news nbc reporting the fbi wiretapped drum's longtime attorney. now we are learning that much of that story was fake. we'll explain coming up. finally, a massive development out of north korea. the media is howling at the moon over michael cohen and stormy daniels and russia, russia, russia, they are visibly yawning over the report that three of our fellow americans that were imprisoned by kim jong un, they may soon be released. sit tight,

a crime to lie to sean hannity.lie to any journalist. >> maybe these guys should stop giving interviews to sean hannity. whether it's cohen or giuliani. guys, sometimes a friend is not your friend. okay, we have a big document here in the development here in the special counsel looking into these ties. a federal judge rejecting paul manafort's, he tried to get a case dismissed. the criminal case. judge rejecting that effort in washington. manafort said mueller is beyond his bounce. outside of his mandate. this isn't okay. judge said no. mueller can proceed. what's the significance? >> i think it's significant for two reasons. number one, there are two cases pending against paul manafort. one in washington and one in virginia. the one in was the one where the judge made the negative comments. he will read this very detailed opinion by the judge in washington. and may well be influenced by it, bring him around the government side. it could. won't be binding because one trial judge can't bind another, but it could serv

sean hannity was number one when obama was in office was she's number one now because trump's in office and it's giving people the these tribal little groups to get into and that's how we go about our business and i would also say you know the white house is in total disarray yes that's true there's more turnover than a third party pyramid scheme yes that's true however the media is no better at all i mean when the media was told to turn off their cameras there was not one person in that room in that press briefing room that had the courage to say no i'm not turning off my camera because this is my job my employer is very powerful and i'm not turning my camera off what are you going to do arrest him. that story will go viral go ahead they all said yes sir or madam i'll turn my camera off that's not journalism that's access journalism that cinco fance it's nonsense and it's garbage and it's got to stop a full disclaimer here i am going to be submitting a pilot to barack obama's netflix company because i am in show business and with them i don't have to worry about them changing anything

now back to "hannity.">all right, our next guest has now been caught up in democrat's witch-hunt and it has cost him dealer and personally, michael caputo. he's had to sell his home to pay for legal fees associated with the russia probe and he's now fearful that his kids' futures are in jeopardy over this. this week caputo had harsh words. what america needs is an investigation of the investigators. i want to know who with's spaying for this? i want to know who cost us so much money, who crushed our kids, forced us out of our home all because you lost an election. i want to know because, well, g-d you to hell. michael caputo joins us now. i know you're not the only one. you said what a lot of people feel. i said this to rudy giuliani the other night. i watched from day one in the trump campaign. i'm guessing -- i don't know for sure. she probably spent more legal fees than she was paid last year. and i think that's the case for a lot of people. explain how this impacts you and your family. >> well, it all s

communications of media staff run by sarah huckabee sanders did not book giuliani's appearance on hannity's show and were not involved in helping him strategize his actual talking points. now, trump, surrounded by faith leaders at yesterday's national day of prayer event, ignored questions and left sanders to face down the press. watch this. >> can you explain why the president when he spoke -- when he answered questions about reporter a few weeks ago about the $130,000 payment to michael cohen to stormy daniels, why the president was not truthfully with the american people? >> as mayor giuliani stated and i'll refer you back to his comments, this was information that the president didn't know at the time but eventually learned. >> when did you specifically know that the president repaid mr. cohen for the $130,000, you personally? >> the first awareness i had was during the interview last night. >> all right. so late last night, giuliani told nbc news that he made the admission after being told about documents that show proof of the payment. giuliani a former u.s. attorney, accused law enfo
