or even ringing hannity up from his desk in their presence. are you both the president and a star [bleep]? how? like, no other world leader does that, you realize it. putin's never talking to his assistant like, "[russian accent] not big deal, "but i was at party with actor who play sheldon "on 'big bang,' yeah. "yeah, elon musk and grimes there too. just saying. yeah. yeah." [eerie music] so lawmakers in both parties are against trump separating kids from their parents. and more surprising, even trump is against trump separating kids from their parents. - we want to solve this problem. we want to solve family separation. i don't want children taken away from parents. - now, i know you might be a little confused right now. like, why would trump hate the policy that he himself made? but let's be real. you don't always love everything you make. and also--and also-- [cheers and laughter] the president's-- the president can't just change this policy. i mean, well, he can, but not without the approval of his most trusted advisors. and the problem i

sean. >> hannity: not joining us now in south carolina graham.enator, why if the democratic party had this in july, why did they hold it? i agree with senator collins, i thought she was very smart in her comments, it's not fair to anybody here. >> here's what i would say. if i believe the person in front of me had committed a serious offense that would disqualify them from being on the supreme court, i would bring it up to them, i would not let that go unchallenged. so here's what i'm going to do, and it's not that complicated. it's a 36-year-old allegation, serious allegation and everyone needs to be heard but also people need to defend themselves. i'm going to look at what she said about brett kavanaugh in high school and compare that to everything else i know about brett brett kavanaugh including his denial and i will make the decision. and here's what i want your audience to know. if ms. ford never intended to come forward or never planned to come forward, why did she pay for a polygraph in august and why did she hire a lawyer in august if sh

[cheers and applause] the most remarkable thing about the modern democratic party is how truly undemocratic they really haveal become. the so-called resistance is mad because their ideas have been rejected by the american people. and we're getting rid of those bad ideas one by one. it is driving them crazy. >> jason: now with just 68 days until the midterms, many democrats are taking a hard left

welcome to "hannity." a lot going on tonight. hurricane florence, you see it on a collision course with north and south carolina. if you are in the evacuation zone, please get out while you still can. sadly, not everyone is taking hurricane seriously. for example, the editorial board of "the washington post,v i'm not making this up, floating an insane conspiracy theory that president trump is responsible for the storm. this is not fake news. this is literally trump sickness derangement syndrome at a psychotic level. we will show you the actual article frankly it should embarrass all these so-called journalists that claim they have so much integrity. also tonight, a huge dump of more strzok-page texts. we have them. and now we have even more evidence. it's now incontrovertible, of what is illicit, politically motivated, anti-trump deep state leaking, cia, fbi, doj, and from the director of national intelligence. they are all included in this, conspiring against trump not oo get elected and then,th of course, to stop him after he w

>> that's the hannity theory. >> and who's on the other side of the pool cue?le thing is completely crazy, of course. but what put in mind at first is just the sense of crisis that pervaded the justice department back in may when we were first sort of getting the exposure to the mad man in the white house. now it's become almost normalized. but in those early days when you were first seeing erratic and anti-constitutional behavior, you were having these serious meetings at the department. i don't believe that rod rosenstein would or did seriously consider himself wearing a wire. but nevertheless you have all the officials around the table broaching the 25th amendment, broaching even in humor wearing a wire. that is just a crazy situation. and yet things have only gotten crazier since. but we've somehow gotten inert to it. >> rod rosenstein's first response to this was to say "the new york times" story is inaccurate and factually incorrect. i will comment on a story based on anonymous sources. but then he was forced to further comment. hours later, in a second s

i know he considers sean hannity a confident and a friend. the reason i was shaking my head when laura ingram was saying that, it was laura ingram giving her opinion. when sean hannity is saying that, it's a message to the president. they talk. odds are they probably had a conversation. i don't know if you guys agree or not, but i think sean hannity gave him good advice. do not touch anything. do not fire anyone and leave it alone. >> let's step back, like, the president is under criminal investigation. we shouldn't even be here. this is the united states of america, right? his lawyer, his campaign chairman, have pled out to a federal criminal investigator. that's just what we know. >> as well as his had national security adviser and his deputy campaign. >> it's a saturday. >> and whether or not anybody was going to wear a body wire or just do it on their voice memos, an iphone, which is great if anybody is in the white house thinking about that. >> yeah. >> like, why do we have a president who is so incompetent that people feel the need to d

you can check with shawn hannity, you can check with fox because they covered it very strongly. who got paid -- excuse me, excuse me. i was accused by four or five women who got paid a lot of money to make up stories about me. we caught them and the mainstream media refused to put it on television. they refused to even write about it. there were four women or maybe four. i think the numbers four or five. but one had a mortgage paid off her house, $52,000. another one had other things happen. and the one that reported it i believe was offered $750,000 to

burgess up against sean hannity.k, is sean hannity suddenly gonna get on air and say i was wrong about this obama guy? no. that's not gonna happen. i think there's a certain segment of hard core sean hannity fans that probably wouldn't want to have a beer with me. there's no doubt about it. if you watch fox news on a regular basis, it is a constant menu. they will find folks who make me mad. i don't know where they find them. this prism of fox news and conservative media. >> sean: he whined the whole time. wanted mr. burgess to tear me up. wow. obama did talk to fox news. here's an example. 2009 the obama white house tried to exclude fox news from a press pool interview with administration officials.ri 2013 the story broke the obama doj under the leadership of mr. holder they actually spied on one of our reporters at the time, james rosen. they looked through his phone calls and e-mails from 2009 while attempting to find a source for one of rosen's stories. so what you heard from obama t today was nothing more than f

>> brian, i think we're in trouble when sean hannity is the voice of reason. the conspiracy theory at the end of that, that's pretty farfetched, but i think what you see there is a little bit of panic from someone who knows the president well, that knows how the president is likely to react to a story like this. he's going to be angry. you couldn't engineer a story in a lab more likely to enrage the president when you have suggestions that someone who is in his administration, who he expects to be absolutely loyal broach the idea of wearing a wire in the oval office. and number two, broach the idea of trying to remove him from office. that is likely to set the president on fire. remember, the president has been back and forth with rosenstein for a long time. last summer he tweeted out that he couldn't believe he was being investigated for firing the director of the fbi by someone who told him to fire the director of the fbi. a clear reference to rosenstein. there were worries then he was going to fire him. that relationship seemed to improve lately. he told "t

>> well, you know it is interesting because sean hannity, and we know the president listens to sean hannity, sean hannity on his program friday night basically said to the president don't fall for this, this is a plot to get you to fire rod rosenstein and you shouldn't do it. so going to be interesting to see if the president follows the advice. we know sean hannity is official/unofficial adviser. he goes on fox news and pretty much gives the president, you know, advice, political advice. so it remains to be seen. we know that this president is deeply troubled by his department of justice. so this just may be, you know, the straw that breaks the camel's back. >> and if it does, could that shut down the mueller investigation? i mean, if rosenstein falls, where does that leave the investigation? >> it leaves it in limbo. and the question will be will the president try to replace him with someone who will side with the president and take the position that the special counsel investigation isn't needed and that it should be shut down. we know gop asenator, congressmen, have said that that would

who is the big boss on hannity and then there is lunch. french fries and salad and egg white omelette to make up for the price but that's me and greg jarrett getting wired up in front of an audience of 20000 in las vegas and there is the president and i chatting and that is sarah huckabee sanders, sean hannity and myself and there is the beast, the president car. don't forget to buy my book. this is jeanine signing off. >> you remember the tears from the fake news media when it was obvious that we were going to win? and you know what? they are still crying. look at them. they are still crying. let them cry. the five let them cry. there's no crying on gutfeld.

welcome to "hannity." we are witnessing a total miscarriage of justice at the highest court in the land. there is no due process, no presumption of innocence and no burden of proof. as we speak, we have the democratic party, the left in america, the median in america, all their friends are literally saying, guilt by accusation and it trying to the character career reputation of judge brett kavanaugh based on what is decades old uncorroborated delegations. -- allegation.and categorically refuting it. the witnesses deny it.now of course, a coordinated effort to take down judge kavanaugh, we will show you tonight that this is nothing new from the democratic party. there is nothing as critical as serious as these allegations are and we have set from the beginning to take them seriously. we will have tonight hannity lesson how the left in this country use identity politics to gain electoral advantage.the reputation of their opponents in the process. the tactics of the left would discuss every rational thinking

and a half people and gas children he has sixty because again just like many of his colleagues sean hannity was wrong about weapons of mass destruction in iraq but it hasn't stopped his career now he's calling for regime change again this time in iraq for me ask you and you have helped organize what's happening today you are in touch with them every day. how do you win a revolution without weapons and then there was phil donahue he was the lone voice on n.b.c. opposing the war he lost his show he was fired now we have a memo explaining why he would be a difficult public face for n.b.c. in a time of war he seems to delight some presenting guests who are anti war and see bush and skeptical of the administration's motives so we're learning from our mistakes right wrong we've still got mainstream media in the united states pushing unproven versions of events without firming up the facts that's ok it has no impact on the careers of journalists who push a popular version of events i think if you just look at the way and as n.b.c. c.n.n. and fox cover world affairs and specifically events around c

sean hannity is next. ♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity." this is a fox news alert.udge kavanaugh's nomination did just pass its first hurdle today. it cleared the senate judiciary committee on a party line vote. but tonight everything is literally hanging in the balance. i'm going to explain in detail what is really going on here. there's a lot more than meets the eye. we'll break it all down in the course of this hour. but first, judge kavanaugh's nomination will remain in limbo for the next few days as republican senator jeff flake caved to pressure from the leftt and called for an fbi investigation at the last minute to check professor ford's accusations.ti lisa murkowski and senator susan collins, they all supported this measure. so here we are. one week delay so that the fbi can perform a background check on an allegation without a date, time, location or any corroborating evidence of any kind. this is yet another political stall tactic from the democrats and the left, and the coming week is going to be, i predict, absolute hell. as judge kavanaugh said, the de

hannity is giving trump good advice. will hurt the republicans if he fires or forces the resignation of rosenstein. it will give the people that are maybe on the middle more of a feeling that there-needs to be the democratic check on this president and it will hurt the republicans in the mid-terms. that's what sean hannity will tell him. i think the meeting thursday which may happen at the same time as christine blasey ford's testimony to the senate judiciary committee and it will be a big day thursday. i don't know if you have a split screen, but trump could use it as a way to take away from that. he will do anything to help move that along. >> we will see what happens a long time between now and thursday. thanks so much for joining us. >> time's up. thank you. >> thank you. we are going to have much more coming in on all of this. the president's lawyers by the way demanding a time out in the mueller investigation if rosenstein resigns. you will hear their reasons and the likelihood of a pause in the investigation. new

does sean hannity know what he's talking about? access to the president to be able to make comments. i haven't -- you know, trump likes to put this stuff out there as sort of -- he throws it out there like chum. i don't think he's serious. he has contact with people in the senate. he knows how they feel about this. that is a red line. it would cause a revolt in the senate. that's the path to impeachment. it would be an act of self harm. do i think hannity is working as -- perhaps maybe throwing out stuff trump might want him to throw out there, possibly. >> i want to switch to hurricane maria and this dust-up that the president brought on himself. he's questioning the death toll. what's fascinating to me, tamara, is we have not heard from the president -- we haven't seen him in public since he first came out and questioned the death toll. the white house -- i mean, what's going on here? >> the president is doing the typical sort of trumpian cycle. he says something that has to be fact checked. it gets fact checked. then he fights b

"hannity" is next. >> sean: welcome to "hannity." rod rosenstein is in big trouble tonight as are others as we are witnessing a deep state coup. i'll explain in detail. there is no doubt any longer. by the way, we have a very special message for the president of the united states. he needs not to fall in a trap. according to breaking news from the "new york times" today in the spring of 2017, the deputy attorney general actually plotted to secretly record his conversations with president trump. but there is also more. the "times" is reporting that rod rosenstein floated an idea to invoke the 25th amendment. for months we warn about the deep state charactereds. people empowering on the d.o.j. and the f.b.i. and elsewhere. we told you about the conflict of interest surrounding the russia probe. we slammed role in committing fraud on fisa court. this is all now going to be proven and told we have been right all along. tonight we have more evidence. it's scary but it is also we are getting close to resolution. we have long said that muel

you've got on the one hand sean hannity making that argument.ou have other "fox news" hosts making exactly the opposite argument. this story i think certainly added fuel to the fox heads that have been calling for rod rosenstein's firing. whether that was part of a deliberate campaign by these fox voices along with the president's allies in congress i don't know, but one thing is abundantly clear and that is the trump legal defense team, the president's allies in congress, the gowdys and the meadows as well as the fox sycophant's are hoping to be put in the place to kneecap mueller. i think the firing of rod rosenstein is one step removed and not far removed from the firing of bob mueller and we need to protect that investigation. >> do you believe the whole russia investigation right now, congressman, is in peril as we speak? >> well, i do. i think what probably precipitated all of this, what precipitated the president's order to declassify information that could risk sources and methods with precipitating this effort, this campaign against rod

sean hannity from new york. >> sean: thank you. i have known paula for many years. welcome to "hannity." this is america at a precipice. this is an important night. all elected officials inpr washington, d.c., have an opportunity for more importantly an obligation to protect your rights, upholdo the value of the constitution on every important issue thatt we now face. we have people on the left in this country, democrats in this case.we they are putting politics first. sadly the constitution and the constitution second. i'll explain in detail. running roughshod over the principle we hold dear. presumption of innocence. we have many on the left convicted judge kavanaugh tonight of one of the most serious crimes implying he doesn't have a right to be heard or believed. zero presumption of innocence. zero due process. a despicable rush to justice born out of pure politics. we'll prove our point. now the senate republicans attempt to investigate serious allegations. they are being stonewalled andv blocked at every corner. even after every single right consideration is o

i think tucker and hannity are extra paranoid. it's the deep state trying to sucker you into something. look, optics wise this story is good for the president, right? it feeds the narrative. he's been saying a whole bunch of leaders are trying to stop him. low and behold here's the story in the president's hated newspaper saying just what the president believes, but, you know, you do need to remember the moment in time of when this took place, willie. this is when the justice department felt as if the president was coming after them, right? he fired james comey. a lack of belief. he was going after sessions. so i think this matters when this took place. it should matter to folks, but i'll tell you it does politically give the president a weapon to use. if he fires rosen stein though i still think he is opening up a can of worms, which is why i think his most devoted supporters are trying to urge caution. >> yeah, this took place last may between the time comey was fired and the appointment of the special counsel, bob mueller. >> r
