All right, happy Tuesday, and we're glad you are with us.
Finally, something is going to be done on immigration.
That is our top story today.
And if you will bear with me, I am going to go through a long laundry list because the poor widow media has their little feelings hurt and they're all upset that the big, bad old bear, the president, dared to talk about them in a negative way.
And Trump's not going to stop.
And nor should he stop.
And it's about time they get called out for it.
When you hear this laundry list, you're going to be amazed today.
800-941 Sean, toll-free telephone number.
We'd love to have you be a part of this program.
So you're going to be hearing a lot over the next few days about this extremely draconian immigration crackdown that the Trump administration implemented today.
Let me tell you what you're not going to hear.
You're going to see the one case where mommy and daddy and the baby are separated because Donald Trump separated the families.
And there might be instances of that, but Donald Trump actually said that, you know, for now, anyway, the dreamer part of this gets kept in place.
And so that's what you're definitely not going to hear that.
But I'll tell you the one thing you're not going to hear.
You're not going to hear, and maybe except for right here, that the president today has only, his new executive order on immigration does absolutely nothing whatsoever to expand the government's authority to deport illegal immigrants.
Not one single solitary thing.
It does nothing to expand the list of crimes that make those illegals, you know, deportable.
It does nothing to mandate the construction of a brand new wall across the Mexican border because the U.S. government, including the last eight years under Obama, it was already the law of the land.
The only thing Trump's order does is signal to the DHS and ICE that they need to begin enforcing the same old immigration laws that have really been on the books for decades.
Laws that Barack Obama unconstitutionally ignored in a direct violation, frankly, to his oath of office.
It includes, yes, a construction of a border wall, which was mandated back in 2006 when Congress passed legislation authorizing a border wall.
You know, the New York Post put it right.
They said the U.S. can give the boot to virtually every illegal immigrant in the country, and those caught crossing the southern border can be busted and sent packing according to memos issued Tuesday by the Department of Homeland Security, which is exactly what both the Bush and Obama administration had as authority.
They chose not to enforce the law.
And the new rules reflect the Trump administration is actually standing on the rule of law.
They're standing on the Constitution.
And especially with the case of, you know, criminal undocumented aliens, that's their first target.
In other words, people that, and I have actually the numbers here, I'll give you one number in particular.
ICE released 19,723 criminal aliens just in 2015 alone.
Now, not criminal in the sense that they violated our laws and sovereignty and entered this country illegally.
Now, then I'm talking about people that had dangerous drugs either in their possession or were selling it or were guilty of larceny or obstructing the judiciary or Congress or legislature or general crimes or burglary or fraudulent activities, identity theft, assault, obstructing the police, domestic violence, weapons offenses, aggravated assault.
Let's see, what else?
What are the crimes?
Assault and battery, forgery, robbery, stolen vehicles, stolen property, sex offenses, damaged property, hit and run instances.
Let's see, driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, that's a big one.
We have commercialization or commercialized sex offenses, sexual assault, simple sexual assault, kidnapping, homicide, gambling, embezzlement, arson, tax extortion, juvenile offenders, and it goes on from there.
Homicide, negligent manslaughter, negligent manslaughter with a vehicle, vehicular manslaughter, you know, homicide, willful kill with a weapon, with a gun, bribery, voluntary manslaughter, homicide, willfully killing non-family gun, homicide, willing killing, willful killing, non-family weapon, homicide, willing, willful killing, family weapon, attempt to commit homicide, homicide,
negligent manslaughter.
I mean, all those are crimes committed.
19,723 criminal aliens from, and this came from ICE itself.
By the way, what did Obama do with those criminal aliens?
Well, he let them back into the public.
Some of you say, well, Hannity, the guy got caught driving drunk.
It's not the biggest.
Well, no, it's not the biggest offense, but drunk drivers and drug drivers kill a lot of people.
So not only did they come here illegally not respecting our law and sovereignty, then they committed other crimes and put Americans at risk.
It's, you know, no, it's not the biggest crime, but it's dangerous, and especially in the day and age of Uber, if you live in any big city, you know, just take an Uber.
What's the big deal?
I don't care how much you drink.
Drink as much as you want.
Drink as much Kentucky clear as you can fit in your system, as your system can handle.
Good luck with that.
So all this is, is what I'm saying it is.
So now, basically, we have an opportunity where we can enforce the law.
Are we going to do it?
That's the question.
And it really is not any more complicated than that.
They're not going to tell you this week what I learned when I was down with Governor Rick Perry at the time at the Rio Grande and out on patrol.
Look, I've been down there 12 times.
I've told the story many times.
I've been down everywhere from the Rio Grande all the way through Arizona and to San Diego.
And I've seen everything you'd want to see.
I was out with Border Patrol agents, ICE agents, all these guys that put their lives on the line every day.
I've been in helicopters with them.
I've been in all-terrain vehicles with them.
I've been on horseback with them.
I've been in boats with them.
I've seen gang members arrested, confirmed gang members arrested.
I've seen families cross the border.
I've seen people waiting as we're filming them to cross the border.
I have seen drug warehouses floor to ceiling with drugs aimed for every man, woman, and child that wants to do drugs in this country that will help ruin their lives.
I've seen a warehouse that stinks to high heaven, every drug imaginable, and there's no more room to fill this place anymore.
So they have to build more drug warehouses.
We sent a producer down two weeks ago, 400 pounds of marijuana.
Hannity, marijuana should be legalized.
Okay, whatever.
It's illegal.
They're smuggling it into our country.
They're also bringing in heroin, and they're targeting rich neighborhoods so that the kids, they get their first taste of an opioid with Oxie or Vicodin or Percocet, and then they can't afford the 80 bucks it costs for a pill because they like the high of it.
Then in comes the drug dealer with a $10 bag of heroin, and if you ask any heroin dealer, they'll give you the first bag free because then they know they got you.
And then you're going to spend the rest of your life, if you survive, trying to get off that crap.
And that's coming in across the border, too.
Methamphetamine's coming in across the border.
Cocaine's coming in across the border.
Criminals are coming in.
Drugs are coming in.
Human trafficking's coming in.
It's all happening.
So the president wants to enforce the law.
You would think he's a horrible person for wanting and daring to enforce the law.
Now, the other big story today is, you know, it sure sounds like everybody in the media is getting their little feelings hurt.
You know, I've said this about people of media because I got to tell you, I'm so sick of the media.
They've turned, they're basically all opinion now.
And their opinion is, we learned from WikiLeaks, they wanted Hillary to win and that they hate Donald Trump and that they've gotten so much wrong because what they're in the process of doing now is they're throwing every bit of paper, wet paper against the wall, hoping something sticks and they can scream out the word impeachment.
They've attacked every single person around the president.
Now, can you imagine making fun of the first lady over saying the Lord's Prayer?
Well, she didn't look like she was reading to me.
Maybe she was, but would it matter?
English is her fifth language.
Not her first, not her second, not her third, not her fourth.
It's her fifth language.
She is a lovely woman, a gracious, kind woman.
They've attacked her.
They've attacked a 10-year-old kid.
None of these people in the media, I think, besides myself, have ever met Barron.
I've met him.
He's a normal, fun, smart, polite, 10-year-old kid.
Really?
He's tired at 3 in the morning and he's fidgety.
Oh, okay.
Get me to stand on a stage at 3 in the morning and I'll fidget too.
It's so offensive.
Eric Trump, he can't run his charity for St. Jude's because of all the criticism.
Well, you might be taking money from people that want influence.
So now the kids at St. Jude won't get the millions that he's raised for them.
And then Don Jr.'s kid has to deal with the pressure that one parent doesn't know if he wants to send their child to the same school because Don Jr.'s kid goes there.
Or Ivanka has a staffer that tweeted out a picture of her bracelet when she was on 60 Minutes.
And then Nordstrom attacks Ivanka because they don't like her father's political philosophy.
Really, we're picking on girls now, too?
We're picking on women and girls and kids.
That's how low the left has gotten.
And then we go after Bannon.
We'll go after Reince.
We'll go after Steve Miller.
We'll go after Sean Spicer.
Oh, and we'll, of course, we'll brutalize poor Kelly Ann and we'll tear her to shreds because we don't like her because she supports Donald Trump, the first woman ever as a campaign manager, as a woman, to win a race.
History right before your eyes.
Let's just slam her down.
Then she goes on television shows and gets called a liar repeatedly and insulted.
And they're so rude and obnoxious, these so-called news organizers, but they're doing their job.
Really?
Are you really doing your job or are you really lazy in advancing your agenda?
I got to tell you, I don't think now their latest claim is that, oh, Donald Trump's comments about the media may incite violence.
I'm like, oh, it's okay to call him a racist.
By the way, it's okay on CNN to say this is a whitelash.
Well, what does whitelash mean?
The insinuation that if you voted for Trump, you're a racist.
Everybody voted for Trump over at CNN is called a racist.
That stands for commentary.
Racism, sexism, misogyny, Islamophobia, homophobia.
It just never stops.
The campaign never ends.
Chris Cuomo, oh, someone's going to get hurt by Trump's attacks on the media.
You know what?
Well, what about the attacks calling him a dictator?
What about the attacks you've made against his children, 10-year-old son?
What about the attacks and the commentary about his wife for crying out loud?
I don't see you guys on CNN giving a rip about them.
And with all due respect, Chris, you grew up as a governor's son.
You grew up pretty protected in your life.
Put your one pant leg on first.
Put your man pants on, man up.
And you need to understand that this is the world of politics that you guys created.
There's such hatred and bias.
Now, for those in the media, I want you to listen because there's a great piece that was put together by T. Beckett Adams over at the Washington Examiner.
And the headline is: Mainstream Media Errors in the Trump Era.
Your catalog of the media's biased-fueled failure test.
Now, it's going to be a little monotonous, but I want to give you every example written here so you know how bad this is.
And I'll get to that right after the bottom of the half hour.
All right, then we have some other news we got to get to today as well.
800-941-Sean, toll free telephone number.

This is the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, so I have insomnia, but I've never slept better.

The hatred runs so deep.
You got all this talk.
Let me tell you what they're talking about in media circles, DC circles.
You got Democratic lawmakers.
Where did I get this today?
This was a Breitbart piece.
Questioning President Donald Trump's mental health.
And a growing number of Democrats are talking about the 25th Amendment as a springboard to introduce legislation that would allow former presidents and vice presidents to determine if Trump is mentally unfit for the office.
You've got Representative Earl Blumenauer, Ted Liu, Al Franken.
Now, by the way, really?
Are we going to talk about mental stability and Al Franken in the same sentence?
Because he's not exactly, and I know from real life experience, he's a very angry man.
How do I know?
Because one day I went down, this was years ago, at Fox, I knew that my friend Barry Farber was about to be on the Fox News channel.
Barry Farber is one of the great pioneers of talk radio.
And I've always loved Barry Farber.
I think he speaks 29 languages.
It's crazy.
And he's been a friend and a supporter of mine.
Came to Huntsville, Alabama when I was a local host as a favor for me.
I mean, that's how much I love this man.
I listen to him.
I remember him, I was a teenager, and I'd be listening to him.
And he'd say, all right, go get a copy of a map.
And when we come back, I'm going to explain the spread of communism to you.
And I get it.
And he'd talk about Hungary and Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and, you know, Poland and all these countries.
I'm like, wow.
And I was sitting there with my map listening to talk radio.
Anyway, so I went to see him.
Al Franken is there in the green room.
And I'm trying to have a conversation with Barry Farber, and he just keeps interrupting.
And I said, I really don't want to talk to you.
I said, I'm talking to my frontier.
I said, do you mind?
And he gets more rude and more rude.
I said, Barry, all right, I'll see you later.
I got to go.
And literally, this maniac follows me out in the halls of the Fox News channel.
Al Franken does.
And to the point, there's security all over the building.
They called a code because he was so frenetically unhinged and out of control.
And they literally had to, they didn't handcuff him or anything, but they had to escort him out of the building because he was so unhinged.
Yeah, I never told you that story.
Anyway, so now people like him are going to talk about the mental fitness of anybody.
And then you got, you know, they've launched an online petition to force the Republican Party to submit then-presidential nominee Trump to a psychiatric evaluation.
How about we, how about all these unhinged Democrats that are losing their marbles?
Oh, like the ones that were protesting and violence broke out yesterday.
Maybe we can start with them or those in the media.
Let's give them a mental evaluation.
And I can tell you, because I know a lot about their private lives that most people don't know, oh, trust me, they need it more than you know.
We'll continue.
All right, so all these days, for three days, what have we been hearing from the media?
Insisting that President Trump fabricated reports about Islamic violence in Sweden.
Well, guess what happened last night?
Yeah, there was violence in Sweden last night.
Riots broke out in a Stockholm suburb.
The president had been ridiculed for referring to in a speech about the immigration, migration dangers all across Europe, and police were forced to fire warning shots after a group of rioters began setting fire to cars and throwing stones at police and looting shops just outside of Stockholm on Monday night.
Police officer was injured, and Trump was mocked during his speech.
You know, look what's happening in Germany.
Look what happened last night in Sweden.
Well, it didn't happen that night, but he was referring to the general violence that we see happening in Germany and Paris and Sweden.
A tiny mistake, but factually correct.
And as much as, you know, Sweden, he says, who would believe this?
Sweden?
They took in large numbers.
They're having problems like they never thought possible, all which we have confirmed.
And later in the program, Ami Horowitz, who actually was in Sweden and talked to law enforcement in Sweden, was, we did this report sometime back in the fall, like October, November.
And we can also say the same thing about Belgium and Paris and Germany and Great Britain.
It's all happening everywhere.
But the media wanted to run with their narrative.
Here's the headline on Foxnews.com: rioting erupts in immigrant-dominated Swedish suburb.
Ooh, Trump was right again.
Trump accuses news media of downplaying Sweden's refugee problem.
Well, he was right.
And that leads me to this great piece that was put out by two days ago.
I've been meaning to get to it on the air by the Washington Examiner.
T. Beckett Adams put this all together.
And he writes this, the press has a problem and it seems to be getting worse.
Whether through bias, sloppiness, or sheer panic, newsrooms have dropped their standards since President Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.
This is so well written.
Instead of adjusting, adeptly to Trump's easy relationship with the truth and his tendency to abuse members of the media by dialing up their standards, a significant number of journalists have tripped over themselves recently to repeat every bit of gossip, half-cocked rumor involving the new president and his administration.
To rush to get these supposed scoops out in the open, whether in print, on television, social media, has, of course, produced a rash of shoddy reporting.
Now, this isn't to say all the coverage of the new administration has been slipshod.
Rather, it's to say there has been a disturbing and unusually large number of stories that have turned out to be overhyped, inconclusive, half-true, or flat-out incorrect.
There's also been a number of reports whose sourcing is so thin that to believe them would be to take a major leap of faith.
The one thing that these reports have in common is that they fail to provide readers and viewers with a clear, indisputable, accurate picture of what is really going on at the White House.
The press's most important role is to shine a light on those in power.
Bad reporting only muddies the waters, and it gives powerful people more room to do as they please.
After all, whom are you going to believe?
The guy at the top of the newsroom with a recent track record of botch reporting?
We didn't get to the point to find the press less credible than the Trump administration by some freak accident.
We're keeping a database of all these media misfires as they occur.
And we'll be updating this list whenever some new bit of crummy journalism appears.
Depending on whether reporters settle down and treat their supposed scoops with greater care, this database may turn into a four or eight-year project.
Then they start an order of the most recent and work their way backwards.
Now think about that.
Wow.
Let me see how many pages this thing is.
I'm not sure.
Oh, it doesn't have the page list on it, unfortunately.
It's at least 12 pages and, you know, regular type.
So then they start with Sweden and all the attacks.
Trump never claimed there was a terrorist attack in Sweden.
Did you know that?
The bottom line is, when you look at what he said, it turned out to be absolutely right, as affirmed last night by riots in Sweden.
That was February 18th.
Then February 17th, the AP botched their story about the National Guard is going to round up illegal immigrants.
Yes.
Then, February 17th, the same day, Trump caught the bug, the claim that Donald Trump's erratic behavior suggests he's suffering from a serious disease he caught from all the sex he had in the 80s.
That was from the New Republic.
Well, it's all speculation.
Then, of course, there was the report about eavesdropping.
No, Trump didn't let Boeing eavesdrop on calls with Lockheed.
That report came out.
That's what they're claiming.
Cited something that never happened.
A Bloomberg news story titled Trump's F-35 Calls Come With a Surprise.
The rival CEO was listening.
Well, there's no evidence to prove that true, and that turned out to be false also.
Or the claim that Michael, following Michael Flynn's resignation as the president's national security advisor, the retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General remarked on Twitter: Well, I accept full responsibility for my actions.
I feel it's unfair.
I have been made the sole scapegoat for what happened.
But if a scapegoat is needed, that was the New York Times.
He never wrote any such thing on social media.
That didn't stop the New York Times.
They were duped by a parody account.
We have a case of Trump campaign ads had aides had repeated contacts with Russian intelligence.
We keep hearing this over and over again.
Well, that's the Times reported people communicated with Russian intelligence officials at around the same time hackers were publishing personal emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee staffers and Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta.
Okay, maybe it's a legitimate story.
We know that the emails, somebody hacked them, okay, raises questions, but nobody at any point in time has ever proven any connection to Russia.
We know that John Podesta got caught in a phishing scheme.
We have no idea who turned it over to WikiLeaks and WikiLeaks and Julian Assange.
By the way, they've been right for 10 plus consecutive years.
They've never been proven wrong.
And they claim Russia had nothing to do with it.
That was not their source.
I'm not saying you have to believe that.
I'm just saying show me the evidence that's contrary to it.
And I'll fly back to London and I'll show it to Julian Assange and ask him then.
Anyway, so, you know, everything they say here, buried in the third paragraph of the New York Times report, the officials interviewed in recent weeks said that so far they've seen no evidence of such cooperation.
Now, why is that in the third paragraph in a story about Donald Trump and how, you know, there was, you know, what they actually said, phone records intercepted calls show that Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials, unnamed sources.
American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee.
Well, that looks horrible.
But then you get to the third paragraph.
It says the officials interviewed, unnamed sources, in recent weeks said so far they'd seen no such evidence of any cooperation.
And there's never been any evidence at all to prove this.
I can't even get through this entire list in this half hour.
Remember, they claim that Donald Trump's temporary immigration ban ensnared an American-born Olympian, this guy Muhammad.
Mohammed claimed in an interview on February 7th that she was detained a few weeks ago by U.S. customs agents who held her for more than two hours without any explanation.
Well, reporters ran with the claim, tying it to Trump's executive order, his temporary ban from seven countries.
Few journalists bothered to corroborate the story.
And then, as it turns out, it turns out that it wasn't true.
But that was in December of 2016.
Oh, had nothing to do with the ban at all.
Nothing.
Another great false story.
You know, then the claim Donald Trump wrongly accused the New York Times of pushing fake news after the paper published a story alleging he hadn't talked to the Chinese president in months.
Well, the Times made that report.
And back in, when was this?
The evening of February 9th, he hadn't spoken to Chinese president since November of 2016.
China's president stung by Taiwan call.
It said to shun Trump.
Later the same evening, Trump spoke with the Chinese president by phone.
The Times updated its report accordingly.
However, due to the deadline mix-up, the Times did not update the national print edition before it went out to their subscribers.
So members of the press, you know, tried to fact-check Trump's tweet and screen grabs and updated the online version, but the facts leaned more in Trump's favor.
Friday edition claimed incorrectly that the president hadn't spoken with the Chinese president.
You know, do you see where we're going here?
Then, of course, they claim that Trump is getting ready, getting behind the Gang of Eight bill legislation that he had vigorously opposed since before his entry into the GOP primary.
The facts are, Trump assured a group of senators in a safe and businesslike terms that he'd hear them out, according to Senator Joe Manchin.
They were trying to explain it to him.
He said he would hear them out.
That is not what the report said, that he was getting behind that bill.
There was a claim that Trump's father had a pair of racist ads produced in the late 60s for a potential run for the New York City mayorship.
Well, the ads mentioned in the essay were all fake, and they were advanced by Clinton confidant Sid Vicious Blumenthal.
Trump never ran for mayor, Fred Trump, his father.
He never had commercials made up for him and never had videos mentioned as they claimed.
They made a claim that during a phone call with Vladimir Putin, Trump was confused by references to the new START treaty, the 2010 treaty imposing limits on the number of warheads deployed by U.S. and Russia.
Oh, the only problem is, you know, Trump being unfamiliar with the new start, maybe that's true.
That wouldn't be a good sign.
But Trump talked privately with officials about the new START program four weeks before his call with Putin, so it doesn't seem likely.
And that had already been noted.
Yemen has had enough.
Yemen withdraws permission for U.S. anti-terror ground missions.
Well, several newsrooms reported that, stating Yemen had ordered this.
The AP threw cold water on that narrative with an on-the-record quote from a Yemeni government official.
Then they claimed, for example, the new education secretary, Betsy DeVos, thinks school administrators should carry guns because you never know when a bear might attack.
Well, the facts is she said during her confirmation hearing that there should be no blanket federal policy regulating guns in schools.
Asked by Chris Murphy, the senator, whether she supported federal solutions to the issue, she responded by saying she doesn't think it should be left to Washington, that states and local communities are best suited to make these judgments.
Oopsie-daisy.
And it goes on.
I can keep going for the rest of this show and tell you all about these media lies.
That Steve Bannon tried to order the Homeland Security Secretary over the issue of the Trump executive order banning the temporary ban on immigration from seven countries.
Kelly reportedly pushed back hard, telling Bannon that he had no authority to issue orders to the DHS.
There was supposedly an in-person confrontation.
Well, Washington Post editor's note pointed out the article has been updated to reflect comments by the White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
The article previously stated Bannon visited Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly's office, and Spicer said Bannon did not make such a visit.
Do you see?
When President Trump said at his news conference last week, and I don't have any more time, I only got to through February 4th, working my way backwards.
Today's the 21st.
That's all I can sneak in here.
We can go all the way back to the beginning of his administration.
Do you see what I'm saying here?
They lie.
They're creating false narratives.
You know, they have been wrong time and again.
It is fake news.
It's full of lies, innuendo, and it's agenda-driven.
The media, how many times have I said they're lazy?
They are overpaid.
Now, I want you to understand, I worked 20 years of my life, not summers, 20 years of my life, for the most part, as a blue-collar worker.
I know what it's like to struggle to pay rent.
I know what it's like not to have money to go to a restaurant.
In other words, I know the life of the forgotten men and women that made this election possible.
And I'm telling you right now, these guys are lazy.
They're prima donnas.
They can't stand any criticism.
They're agenda-driven.
They're all overpaid and out of touch.
Hannity, you're talking about I'm overpaid.
I will be very honest with you.
I am overpaid for what I do.
I know what real work is.
I appreciate it.
I like it.
I'm not going to say no.
I negotiate the best deal I can get.
That's business.
But at the end of the day, these people have no clue what average Americans are going through.
They're so disgustingly out of touch.
I'm not.
What do I always say I want?
I want my country safe and secure, and I want people in poverty on food stamps and out of work back to work and getting their first home and living their American dream, like I had happen in my life.
My $123,000 house in Roswell, Georgia, was a dream come true.
If I lived and died there, I would have been happy.
Except I wouldn't know all of you.
That wouldn't be good.
These people are off the rails, and it's not going to change.
All right, you know, we got to get to the truth over this immigration order.
We'll get to all of that.
Ami Horowitz will check in in the next half hour.
He actually went to Sweden.
He knows the truth about what's going on there.
And when we come back, we have D.C. McAllister and others.
We're going to be debating the whole issue of the ongoing struggle between the president and the media and all the fake news examples that the media won't tell you about.
And of course, their war that they have declared not only against President Trump, but against you, the American people.
All right, that's all coming up at the top of the next hour.
Ami Harowitz at the bottom of the hour.
Then our news Roundup Information Overload Hour.
James O'Keefe and Ryan Grimm from the Huffington Post.
to want to miss that attacks on the American press as enemies of American person tax on it there's a history of what enemy of the people that phrase means as used by dictators and authoritarians including Stalin including Hitler
And I'm not about to say anything about comparing Hitler and Trump, but it's a demagogue's statement.
Somebody's going to get hurt.
It's just a question of time because just like in every other dynamic in life, if you take somebody who's got a legitimate reason to be upset in the first place and you pump them up and it starts to become a call to action, somebody's going to get hurt.
As long as American democracy remains healthy, there will be reporters willing to pursue the truth, even if that means incurring the wrath of the most powerful person in the world.
A free press isn't the enemy of America.
It's a big part of what makes America great.
No Donald Trump rally would be complete without a healthy dose of media bashing.
The latest onslaught follows this tweet: the president declaring all-out war on journalists, calling them the enemy of the American people.
Over the weekend, he turned up his rhetoric, and that is drawing a sharp new backlash.
Mr. Trump set the stage in a stinging tweet in which the president called the press the enemy of the American people.
Some of the president's critics are raising alarm bells, noting he's using similar language President Richard Nixon used during a private phone call at the height of the Watergate scandal.
We're going to be around power enemies.
The press is the enemy.
The press is the enemy.
The press a constant boogeyman for the new president.
President Trump's sharp criticism of skeptical news coverage continued.
In one tweet, he called leading news organizations the enemy of the American people.
Jewish groups say these threats meant to terrify children and their families have failed.
President Trump, questioned about rising anti-Semitism, has repeatedly tried to deflect criticism by emphasizing his own beliefs.
I am the least anti-Semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life.
But as president, he's yet to denounce anti-Semitism.
Jewish people, so many friends, a daughter who happens to be here right now.
His press secretary late tonight telling NBC News the president has made it abundantly clear that these actions are unacceptable.
The issue is we need the president to show moral leadership and acknowledge the issue and announce steps to address this problem before communities go from anxiety to real trauma.
So far, no arrests with the FBI now investigating what it calls possible civil rights violations.
Peter Alexander, NBC News, Washington.
And by the way, keep the music up.
Senator Chucky Schumer, the minority leader in the U.S. Senate, predicted today Republican lawmakers will break from President Trump by June if he continues to push forward with his promises and agenda.
He was on with the women of the view.
While most Republicans have declined to publicly break with Trump during the first month of his presidency, many privately admit they have real problems with him.
They're only sticking to him partly out of loyalty and his nomination of Neil Gorsuch to fill Antonin Scalia's seat on the Supreme Court.
They are all unhinged.
Anyway, joining us, D.C. McAllister is with us with the Federalists and PJ Media.
And John Nakozzi is with us from Mediaite.
He is the managing editor.
By the way, Mediaite is not always nice to me.
Why am I even having you on my program considering you guys are not always nice to me?
Well, we try to play down the middle.
I'm just messing with it.
I really don't care.
I'm just a fan box of chocolates.
You know who I do like?
I do like Dan Abrams a lot.
I saw him at a Christmas party.
He's really smart.
He's done amazing things with all his different websites, Law News, for example.
Mediaite's another example.
And I do like him a lot.
And I know that you've been fair to me.
Not everyone that works for you has been fair to me over the years.
I remember the old Tommy Christopher days.
I have nothing but good things to say about my boss, Dan, and I've learned a great deal from him.
And, you know, we try, like I think you know, we try to have a liberal audience and a conservative audience who come to our site.
No, if you read the comments, you have a very liberal audience, true or false.
Yeah, well, I would say people who comment, like if you get a drudge link, you'll get tons and thousands and thousands of conservatives who come to the site.
I think it's a snapshot on the post and who's mad that particular day and who's fired up.
But we're pretty much down the middle.
You'd be surprised at it.
It's just like who's the loudest that particular day.
It really is a, if you're a liberal person.
Well, listen, I actually don't, and this is the absolute truth.
I can say to my, I'm friends, most of the people that have worked on Hannity, the TV show, have been there with me the entire time.
I'm now in my 21st year, and I can say, all right, in this next segment, I guarantee you I'll make a headline at Mediaite.
And all I have to do is attack somebody that's in the media.
It's really simple, and it's kind of fun, to be honest.
We're watching.
Well, you know, I mean, I'm very playful about it.
I think it's funny, and I know that you guys love my Twitter fights, especially with Joe Scarborough.
Yeah, I would say that you're the, you're probably, when it comes to an ego, you're the easiest to deal with.
I mean, we certainly do get some pushback with some of the stuff that we have put out there.
I honestly, all I ask for is a little bit of fair treatment, and I would say on balance, since you've been in charge, I think it's been a lot more fair.
Here's what I say about the media, and I'm very honest about that.
I think we have an information crisis in the country.
I think WikiLeaks exposed all of these people in the media to be corrupt and colluding with the Hillary campaign.
The revelations were deep, and the revelations showed a level of collusion that I always believed in, but it kind of affirmed everything I believed.
And I think that the media now is so desperate, they're so offended that Donald Trump has taken them on that they can't handle it.
And they now have doubled down on trying to hurt the president.
Do you think I'm right or wrong?
I think what has happened is I think this is like a family fight.
I think Donald Trump was part of that club for so many years.
Any show he'd go on to, the ratings would go through the roof.
I think he was, you know, he lived in New York.
Obviously, he's from New York.
He knew them.
He traveled in their circles.
He gave money to Schumer and those guys.
And I think the minute he stepped out of line, like any club, they have rules.
And I think that once that happened, usually when you're thrown out of a club, you get thrown out, but he had more power.
And I think this is, you know, we have eight years of Obama.
And if you look at some of the reporters, these reporters were in college.
And, you know, the first iPhone was coming out when Obama was president.
Thanks, Joe, for reminding me I'm very old.
Thank you, Joe.
I really appreciate it.
And so I think what you're seeing is a realignment.
I think there's a lot of hurt feelings.
I think there's a lot of, especially on the president's side, I think that he feels that he can't do anything right.
And I think the media is not used to someone by the way.
You know what I'd love?
I have a request for Mediaite to print.
There was a it was two days ago, and it was in the Washington Examiner, and it was written by T. Beckett Adams at the Examiner.
And it's mainstream media errors in the Trump Era, your catalog of the media's bias-fueled failure fest.
And I think it would be interesting.
I'm going to actually put it up on the screen on Hannity tonight, or at least some of it.
And I just think it would be important.
I don't think there's much introspection going on within the media ranks.
I'll throw it to D.C. McAllister.
And I think the media is so deeply offended that they have been called out, but I think it's deeper than that.
I think that what they're really angry at is they've been exposed, and that people have gotten really hip to their bias, and they're tuning them out in larger numbers, I would argue.
Thoughts?
I think there is a strong entitlement attitude among the press.
They think that they have immunity from criticism simply because they have a constitutional right to freedom.
What they don't understand is they do not have moral immunity.
They cannot lie.
They cannot slander.
In fact, I think there should be more lawsuits brought against newspapers and television outlets than anyone who's actually proven to be spreading lies.
I think that that's been going on for way too long without any kind of punishment.
And so people are encouraged to keep doing it.
But I think if you slam some lawsuits on them, that they would actually think twice about it.
So I think that that needs to be happening more.
But, you know, for example, they can write anything about me or pretty much say anything about me as a public figure.
And D.C., the same for you.
I love, you're one of my favorite columnists because you have such a biting edge to your commentary, and you are willing to say things that so many people think that nobody dares say.
And I love that about you, but you're a public figure, and they can pretty much say anything they want about you, too.
Well, they can't do it maliciously with public figures.
And when it comes to- How do you prove absence of malice?
And so it is difficult to bring these to, but libel is something that we just need to put on the table again.
I just think it needs to be tried more, even if the lawsuits aren't successful.
Threatening these people actually go far, I think.
It's just something to think about, that there's so much lying and so much slander going on.
But I also think that the press, because they have this freedom of the press, they think that they can have no kind of accountability of criticism from anyone, lawsuits aside.
So when the president comes and criticizes, and he is not unusual in doing this, presidents have been doing this since Washington.
They have had a war with the press and it's been ongoing.
And presidents at all levels and all of history have said, you know, that a lying, a false press is definitely a threat to the people.
They didn't always use the term enemy of the people, but they said a threat to the Republic.
And it is, because a lying press is itself not a free press.
It's only in truth that you have freedom.
But the press doesn't feel like it has this moral accountability, not to the president, not to other politicians, and not to the American people, and not to each other.
And this is what I'd like to say, is that I think that we need to hold each other more accountable and criticize each other.
We shouldn't be locked up together in our lying and our misinformation.
We need to hold each other accountable and have a little bit of a title.
Listen, all of us at some point are going to get something wrong.
I mean, Joe, I mean, you saw, I made a mistake on Twitter, and I thought it said make America great again, or M-A-G-A, and it said M-R-G-A.
And look what a look what a lot of people are doing.
Yeah, I mean, it was so ridiculous.
I think that people are just waiting for, and, you know, liberals to conservatives, and in some direction, conservatives back to liberals, are just waiting for those small tiny mistakes.
And I think they're there to pounce, make a meme.
I think the machines in the internet age are set up for destruction so quickly that you don't have a chance to even correct.
I mean, I remember when you did that, Sean.
And, you know, I knew you made a mistake.
And by the time you had even tried to correct it, it was around the globe.
It's hilarious, I know.
It's done by assassination, is what it is.
Because he takes a small thing and you're going to completely destroy somebody with it or misrepresent them.
And it's constant, and Twitter doesn't help.
Well, let me give you one example.
I would argue, John, that I vetted Obama in a way that nobody else in the media did.
And then I told the story that I think I was right, as evidenced by economic statistics I gave out all year long last year, and by his foreign policy failures.
Nobody in the media, they were laughing at the idea of a President Trump, and I always knew it was a possibility.
Why are they so wrong?
They're so wrong because they don't understand the American people.
They live in a vacuum, they live in a bubble, and they listen only to each other.
They're like the academics.
I'll tell you what, hold that thought right there.
We'll go right back to why they're always so wrong, and now they never admit it or take or become accountable for it.
Is it easy to be Muslim in America?
Or is it hard?
It is Muslim.
It's easy to be Muslim.
Nobody gives you problems.
That's number one.
And you go to school here, obviously?
And do the kids, are they good to you?
Are they nice to you?
Is it tough?
Oh, yeah.
It's not tough at all.
It's not tough at all.
No.
This is a free country.
That's the beauty of it.
So we love America.
I mean, you know, it's a great country.
Freedom of speech, freedom of choice with your religion.
So we don't have any issues.
Do you feel more comfortable living under American law or do you feel more comfortable living under Sharia law?
Sharia law.
I'm a Muslim.
I prefer Sharia law.
Sharia Lang, yes.
You prefer Sharia law over American law?
Of course, yeah.
Of course, yeah.
And.
Do you find most of your friends feel the same way?
Yeah, of course.
If you're a Muslim, yeah.
Sharia law says if you steal something, they cut off your hand.
So basically, they can leave their doors, their stores, doors open.
Nobody's going to steal anything because the Sharia is so tight.
Usually they don't do anything.
The smallest things usually have big consequences.
He can make his daughter marry somebody.
Yeah, he can.
Yeah, he can.
He has the authority, you know?
Authority to her.
Yeah, to do that.
Yeah.
So, here, how young do you think it's okay?
Yeah, 15.
If you had a choice, would you rather live here or rather live in the Muslim country?
I'd rather live in a Muslim country with my people.
Would you prefer to live in America or prefer to live in Somalia?
For me, I think it's Somalia.
You'd prefer to live in Saudi Arabia?
Yeah.
Would you rather live in America or live in Somalia?
I would rather live in Somalia.
I'm not Americanized.
I just speak fluent and I'm articulate and I can articulate what I'm trying to say.
You know what I mean?
That's about it.
But other than that, I mean, as far as my culture and my preferences and everything, it's still Somali.
You know what I mean?
Even though here you have all the freedom and stuff like that?
And even though I have all the freedom.
Do you think life might be better in Somalia than here?
Because now you have the freedom of it, of practicing your religion while working and doing your other things.
Do you think that Sweden has a responsibility to adapt to the immigrants' culture coming in?
Definitely.
Should a woman, when they come here, dress, you know, modestly, you know, with pants and with sleeves?
Is that important?
It is our culture.
If you come to Rinkibi, obviously, every Sweden is a discord, you know.
I got Swedish godfriend.
Sometimes I say we go to Rinkibi, it's care.
Right.
It's scared.
Is it dangerous here sometimes?
Sometimes, yeah.
We found out exactly how dangerous when while we were setting up a shoot at a neighboring location, we were approached by five men and told to leave.
While my crew took off, I stayed to simply ask why we had to leave.
Because I was still wired.
We have the sound of what happened next.
How come it's a problem to film here?
I don't want to be filmed.
I know, but why?
What's the law?
Why is it?
Let me see.
I'm not telling you anything.
Look, look.
Let go of me.
Show me what you got.
Let go off.
I don't mind the phone.
I was not the first person assaulted by gangs of immigrants, nor will I be the last.
But women are taking the brunt of the explosion of violence across Sweden.
Has there been an increase in violence and crime here in Sweden?
More violence than harder violence with the guns.
What type of weapons are you guys seeing on the streets?
You can see Kalashnikovs, hand grenades from the east, guns, handguns, everything you can find in Afghanistan.
You can find it here.
Doesn't Sweden have very strict gun laws?
For sure, you know, and we get all the time we got new laws about guns tied up more.
And I think it's good, but you know, the violence increased anyway.
This is a former police station which had to be moved a couple of years ago.
Now, the police will tell you that it simply became too unsafe for them to have a full-time presence here.
Would you go as far as to say that these no-go areas are essentially states within a state?
Yeah, most of the no-go areas are slacked out.
Are there areas where if you're pursuing somebody where you'll simply stop and not pursue them once they get into this no-go area?
Yeah.
If the police is chasing another car for some kind of crime, if they reach what we call Naguarias, the police wouldn't go after it.
Do you see the violence really spreading across Sweden into the cities?
At least one or two times a week.
And let's say five years ago, how often would you say it was?
Three times a year.
Really?
The increase in this kind of crime is exponential.
I think we called a court of guard.
We didn't expect it to be so much increase.
Here's the bottom line.
We've got to keep our country safe.
You look at what's happening.
We've got to keep our country safe.
You look at what's happening in Germany.
You look at what's happening last night in Sweden.
Sweden?
Who would believe this?
Sweden.
They took in large numbers.
They're having problems like they never thought possible.
You look at what's happening in Brussels.
You look at what's happening all over the world.
Take a look at Nice.
There you heard our friend Ami Horowitz, the documentarian satirist that he is, and the president turns out he was right on the issue of Sweden.
And we know because we broadcast this as soon as Amy got back from Sweden.
And of course, he did his little interview where people would prefer Sharia law over American law.
We'll get to that in a second.
But, you know, after three days of the alt-left propaganda media insisting that President Trump had fabricated reports of all this migrant and Islamic violence in Sweden, well, the migrant riots suddenly erupted in Stockholm.
It's amazing how Trump is so right so often.
You know that the media is furious that he's right yet again.
Anyway, he was right about Sweden after all.
Riots broke out in Stockholm in a suburb.
And the president, after he had been ridiculed for referring to this in a speech about the immigration migration dangers, police were forced to fire warning shots after a group of rioters began to set cars on fire, throwing stones at police, looting shops, all happening in Stockholm, all happening last night.
Police officer was injured during the clashes.
Swedish public service broadcaster reported.
And anyway, Trump was widely mocked after his Florida speech in Melbourne, where he said, look what's happening in Germany.
You look what's happened last night in Sweden.
Sweden, you wouldn't believe this, he said.
They took in large numbers.
They're having huge problems.
Ami Horowitz is with us.
How are you, sir?
When did you go to Sweden and when did you get those interviews?
I went to Sweden.
I want to say we shot it in November.
Yeah.
So it wasn't that long ago.
It wasn't that long ago, no.
By the way, once again, the Hannity Show is ahead of the curve.
Ami Horowitz is ahead of the curve.
And you were also the lunatic that got involved and you actually traveled with the refugees like you were one of them.
On a raft across the AGNC, baby.
Yeah, and did anyone know you happen to be a Jewish American on that trip?
I kept that part to myself.
Yeah.
Did you hear anti-Semitic remarks?
I don't know.
I speak Arabic, man, but I did know when we got to Berlin and spoke with refugees, there was definitely a symptom.
Okay, so it happened there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tell us exactly what you learned about Sweden.
All right.
So you have to understand.
So Sweden is, they call themselves a humanitarian superpower.
It's the only superpower qualification that they have.
So they're holding on to it.
Listen, from my perspective, I think it's very nice.
It's sweet that they want to do this selfless act of humanitarian goodness and bring in as many people as they can in their country.
I've got no problem with that perspective, but they're unwilling to understand what the social upheaval and the social cost of their country.
That's the part that drives me crazy, that they refuse to acknowledge that their country is on fire, literally last night, right?
But their head is in the sand.
Their denial, it's pathological.
That's the only way I can put it.
I think there is a state of world denial, to be honest.
And we see it in our own country.
Our last president wouldn't say radical Islamic terrorism.
This president acknowledges what is a basic, simple, fundamental truth, and that is radical Islamists are at war with us.
And to me, we have developed a pre-9-11 mentality.
And just like we cite prior to 9-11, the Kobar Towers, the embassy bombings in Kenya, Tanzania, the first trade center bombing, the USS Cole, all in the lead up to 9-11.
So too will we quote Chattanooga.
We're going to quote the Pulse nightclub in Orlando.
We're going to quote the Boston Marathon bombing.
We're going to quote Fort Hood and Major Nassan and workplace violence.
And we're going to quote San Bernardino.
And then we're going to look at, oh, there was also signs all over Europe in Paris and Belgium and Sweden and all of these countries.
And so in other words, I can already write the report after the next big, major 9-11 style attack.
To me, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
I think it's going to happen.
And then we'll have a big study and report and we'll realize, oh, for eight years, we had a president that lived in denial.
And, oh, these people didn't have to die.
Oh, radical Islamists believe in a caliphate.
They believe in convert or die.
They have the money because we pulled out of Iraq too early to fund their terrorist ways.
Anything I'm saying wrong here?
No, I think I think it's right, but you brought up such an interesting point.
You're right.
It's not just Sweden.
You're absolutely right.
The world is, the left, is in self-denial.
And I found this out firsthand in this process, being this whirlwind maelstrom of international scandal that I've been involved in.
All of these, you know, the Washington Post, the New York Times, AP, CNN, all these interviews I've been giving, they don't care what the truth is.
When I give them statistics on the increase in rape, the increase in murder, you know what they do?
They come back with some BS statistic that doesn't really mean anything.
It's meaningless.
They don't care about what the truth is happening in Sweden.
They care about their narrative.
And their narrative is, it is totally cool to bring in as many Islamic refugees as you want in this country.
And I'll fight back against your style.
Every single intelligence leader we have in this country under Obama, Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Steinbach, McCall, General Allen, they all said, I played it a million times, that ISIS will infiltrate the refugee population.
How stupid are we not to listen to them?
Trump is trying to listen to them.
So they went judge shopping out on the West Coast, and they knew they'd eventually get to the Ninth Circuit.
They got to the Ninth Circuit.
Now they have to rewrite the executive order.
Not a big deal.
They'll get it right, and it will eventually start doing it.
But in the meantime, let's see.
We see that, oh, 72 terrorists came from the countries that were covered by the Trump vetting order.
72.
And nobody, and the judge, even in that case out in Seattle, Robart, got it wrong.
Judge Robart said, oh, since 9-11, is there any evidence that any people with terror relations ever made it from any of these seven countries?
Yeah, 72.
72.
Is that a big enough number for you?
Big enough number.
Maybe it's me too.
The left doesn't care about truth.
They care about narrative, their narrative.
That's all that matters to them.
But you know, think about, think about, well, I got to take a break, but think about this.
How wrong they are, even in the lead up to what just happened here, and how wrong they're going to be when something big happens.
Because they were wrong about Sweden for the last three days.
Now they have egg on their face.
There was a riot there last night.
You think they're going to care?
You think they're going to take responsibility when an attack happens?
Oh, it was our fault.
Sorry, guys.
My bad.
No, they're going to blame it on us.
You created this hatred for us because of your policies.
Unbelievable.
All right.
This is how we rule.
When the media lies to people, I will never, ever let them get away with it.
I will do whatever I can that they don't get away with it.
President and I strongly support a free and independent press, but you can anticipate that the president and all of us will continue to call out the media when they play fast and loose with the facts.
My fear the administration has it shaken out so far is not that it's incipient fascism, it's that it's anarchy.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
We're burning down the mashing bullets at the moon, baby.
This is how we rule.
Sean Hennedy.
The new Sean Hennity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Coming up next, our final news roundup: an information overload hour.
Now, they'll take this news conference.
I'm actually having a very good time, okay?
But they'll take this.
Don't forget, that's the way I won.
Remember, I used to give you a news conference every time I made a speech, which was like every day.
Okay, no, that's how I won.
I won with news conference and probably speeches.
I certainly didn't win by people listening to you people, that's for sure.
But I'm having a good time.
Tomorrow they will say, Donald Trump rants and raves at the press.
I'm not ranting and raving.
I'm just telling you.
You know, you're dishonest people.
But, but, I'm not ranting and raving.
I love this.
I'm having a good time doing it.
But tomorrow, the headlines are going to be, Donald Trump rants and raves.
I'm not ranting and raving.
After just 27 days in office, the Trump administration, which promised change, has delivered chaos.
I think there's a lot of confusion.
There's a lack of detail.
And really, what we've seen from this administration and really this Congress so far is a lot of chaos and confusion.
Right.
After what can only be described as an afternoon and evening of confusion at the White House over the fate of General Michael Flynn, the National Security Advisor.
We've been talking about Michael Flynn since he was chosen for this job as a problem and a problem that would end up spinning out of control.
The media, of course, did not fire General Flynn.
President Trump did.
And what the media did do was reveal to the nation that General Flynn had lied to the country and to the Trump team, including Vice President Pence.
President Trump's enemies within the administration continue an unprecedented level of leaking for a presidency that is not yet two weeks old.
Trump's, quote, transition operation has plunged into disarray as a result of the second shake-up in a week on that team that has not yet begun to execute the daunting task of taking over the government.
People have talked about a miracle.
I'm hearing about a nightmare.
This was a whitelash.
This was a white lash against a changing country.
It was a white lash against a black president in part.
And that's the part where the pain comes.
This network devoted years of programming and promotional support to a reality show that was mold-breaking for the time and contributed largely to making this New York developer, builder, licensor, landlord, investor, a successful guy into a global celebrity and brand.
A brand who sells brand name licensed products with his name on it.
I think some of this cultural anger we should correctly identify as being racial animus and that it's significant that Trump has closed so much of a gap and done so well with white voters.
The extent to which Donald Trump has won running a campaign of racism and bigotry, turning out millions of white Americans for that campaign, suggests that we are living through a kind of second redemption.
Our country is about to face some serious crises.
And so, I mean, buckle up.
Your country needs you.
Well, America is crying tonight.
I'm not sure how much of America, but a very, very significant portion.
And I mean literally crying.
This is a sadness.
It is a mourning moment for those people.
And it is a moment filled with fear.
Filled with fear.
Tim Kaine has a son in the Marine Corps.
He was asked by John Dickerson: so if Donald Trump is Democratically elected and your son is serving as a Marine, you wouldn't trust his life under that commander-in-chief?
And Kaine said, I wouldn't.
That's a pretty extraordinary thing to say if you have a son in the Marine Corps and that you don't trust the Commander-in-Chief.
The people in the military defend the Constitution.
And we've talked about excitement among women to have a woman president, but there's always in these situations at least equal amounts of hostility to that kind of change.
And the fact that we're seeing this, particularly among non-college-educated white men, is not surprising.
And I think some of it has to be attributed to the fact that Trump is running against a woman.
Do the brains that got this guy elected president tonight apply to being a good president?
I leave it as an open question.
I hope there's some connection.
Otherwise, we have a dingbat as president.
We have a guy with no ability to be president.
It's hopeless with terrible values and incompetence, gamour.
And we're just into doomsday right now.
I'm just not ready to accept that sort of notion right now in my head.
I have to think there's got to be a pony in this crap pile.
I think there has to be a pony in there somewhere.
He did all of the dog whistles.
This is not Bernie Sanders' populism.
This is George Wallace's populism that he's doing.
All that many of us have fought for all our life is at stake, and we're not going down without a fight.
I don't need to know that.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
More examples of this media bias.
Have you noticed, as I have, every single person around the president now is subject to attack?
I mean, Melania Trump says the Lord's Prayer, which, by the way, this country founded by Judeo-Christian principles.
All of our framers, founders, they were deeply devout men, almost without exception.
And, well, some were deists, Hannity.
You don't know what you're saying.
Yeah, I know what I'm talking about here.
But if you read, you know, this, remember our founding document, our declaration, endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That is predicated on a belief in God.
Judeo-Christian principles built this country.
So Melania starts with a prayer.
We'll attack her.
We'll attack a 10-year-old kid because he's tired at 3 o'clock in the morning.
We'll attack Eric Trump so then he has to stop raising money for kids with cancer at St. Jude.
We'll attack Ivanka because, oh, she wore a bracelet on 60 Minutes and somebody on her staff tweeted out a picture.
Oh, that's the bracelet in her line.
Oh, that's horrible.
You know, we'll attack Jared Kushner.
Oh, he's related to the president nepotism.
Okay, well, maybe he was also one of his closest advisors and somebody he counts on and relies on, and you would think the president can pick his own team.
And then every single solitary cabinet person, it's the same thing.
It just doesn't end.
Bannon, Reince, Kelly Ann, Steve Miller, whom I'm forgetting here, Sean Spicer, and anybody that gets around the president.
Because the goal is not to, well, I guess they want as much collateral damage as they can, but the real goal is to hurt the president any way they can.
Anyway, joining us now from Project Veritas, its founder, James O'Keeffe, also joining us from the Huffington Post.
I have a bone to pick with him as Ryan Grimm is with us.
All right, so your stupid newspaper over there, which Ariana's not even a part of anymore, is she?
No, she's not.
Okay.
Her name's still on it.
Well, why don't you use the Grimm report instead of the Huffington report?
I suggested that.
It didn't fly.
So one night I ask a question of the day, and I get feedback, and some of the feedback was against my position.
Oh, Hannity, it backfires.
What do you think?
I set the questions up that everybody has to agree with me?
You should give me credit that I don't ban people on Twitter.
I don't ban people on my Facebook page.
I don't ban freedom of speech.
I make my living with it.
And you guys write this ridiculous headline.
Oh, it backfires.
What was that all about?
Well, clearly it didn't backfire because, you know, all press is good press.
But I tell you what, if I have to defend every headline on the Huffington Post, oh, boy.
Wait a minute.
Ryan Grimm, what is your position at the Huffington Post?
It is a broad and diverse outlet that offers you points.
What is your title?
Washington Bureau Chief.
Washington Bureau Chief.
So you have a lot of impact on this Ariana X. On the Washington covers.
That sounds like a New Yorkie.
You know, I'm thinking, man, my buddy Ryan, I've been nice to him.
I put him on my radio show.
He's a left-wing lunatic, and this is how I get treated.
Unbelievable.
I did see that, and I tugged at my car.
I said, oh, Sean's not going to like that one.
It's not that I didn't not like it.
I don't care what other people think and say.
The idea is, did I say I only want conservatives to respond to this?
No, I never said such a thing.
I do think that.
By the way, why are you left-wingers so unhinged about Donald Trump?
What are you freaking out about?
What do you think is going to happen?
What's your great fear and danger?
Where do you want to start?
I heard we only have about 15 minutes for this one.
Well, go.
Start.
I mean, I guess we could start with the breaking up the families, banning an entire, you know, banning a class of immigrants based on religious background.
Do you believe Wall Street reform?
Do you believe?
Well, let's start one at a time.
I can't just answer.
Do you believe in the rule of law?
Yeah, I'm for the rule of law.
Okay, you are.
Okay, so what is the current immigration laws?
What do they call for?
Well, what do you mean?
Do you mean that should we enforce the strict law and round up all 30 million dollars here without the government?
But Donald Trump is not doing that.
You look at the order specifically, it prioritizes, just like he said during the campaign.
And by the way, Dreamers, Trump is keeping the DREAMer program in place for now.
And what he's specifically looking for are criminal aliens.
Now, you know what, Ryan, I've interviewed mothers, many of them, not a few, many.
I did an entire town hall on this, where they lost their kid.
Their children were murdered by illegal immigrants, most of which had previous crimes they'd committed, spent time in jail, and then were released back to society.
Can we just agree that's stupid?
And how would you feel if it was your kid?
Yeah, I think that's fine.
I think saying that if you are convicted of a violent offense and you get— How about a drug offense?
That's a non-violent offense.
Oh, no way.
Drug offense?
Come on.
Really?
Oh, okay.
So you bring.
I bet.
I bet.
You're selling heroin or cocaine.
That's okay with you?
Look, I don't think that's it.
That's a drug offense, selling cocaine, methamphetamine.
I think our war on drugs is idiotic.
I didn't ask you that.
If somebody's here illegally in this country and they sell drugs to our children, they shouldn't be kicked out?
Well, they shouldn't be selling drugs to children for that.
Well, who do you think they're selling it to?
Mostly adults.
Oh, okay.
Mostly adults, but also.
If you're trying to build an audience.
All right, so let's say you're selling heroin or cocaine or meth to an adult.
I think if you're committing serious crimes like that, you're certainly putting yourself in the business.
You certainly don't deserve to be in this country, do you?
Especially if you didn't respect our laws and sovereignty.
Here's the thing.
I don't think anybody questions whether or not Trump has the authority to round up everybody who's here.
Oh, the authority by what?
By the rule of law.
Right.
By our very kind of draconian and unreformed immigration laws over the decades.
I don't think this is something that should be directly on Donald Trump.
Okay, let's go to James O'Keefe.
James, how are you?
Hey, thanks, Sean, for having me on.
You guys became best buddies after the last interview.
I thought that was going to end in fireworks, and we all agreed on journalism ethics apparently there.
Well, I mean, you know, all these attacks against Trump and his family and all the – look at the children.
My goodness.
He's not throwing the Dreamers out.
He's first looking for criminal aliens.
To me, it's common sense.
Well, I think going back to this whole media discussion, which we had last time I was on, this is the profound difference between, I guess you could call it the left and the right, but I don't even know if there's that distinction anymore.
That the media believes that people are incapable of making their own decisions, and those decisions need to be made for them, which lays in harsh contrast to my vision, my journalism organization, Project Veritas.
But the media does not believe that people can make decisions.
So they have to work with people they trust, these primary sources and agents of power, and they only allow a range of policies that are viewed as politically acceptable.
And there's this sort of shift happening right now, a profound shift away from those gatekeepers and towards the people.
And that's why the media is panicking and saying that Melania Trump, I mean, on Twitter, they're actually calling her a whore for reciting the Lord's Prayer at a rally.
That's what the people are saying.
Well, they had to reprimand a New York Times reporter for that last week.
Then the New York Times sent out a phony Michael Flynn account tweet.
Then the New York Times retweeted, I believe, a picture of Stephen Miller with his head on a stick.
We'll pick it up there.
More with Ryan Grimm and James O'Keefe.
Ready to repeal and replace Obama's executive orders?
And you've come to the right place.
The Sean Hannity Show.
All right, as we continue Sean Hannity Show, James O'Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, Ryan Grimm, the Washington Bureau Chief of the Huffington Post.
And James, you were talking about all the media bias.
For example, I went to Texas, and I'll show the presentation I received from law enforcement one of my dozen trips down to the border, and I was given and presented with evidence from all of these law enforcement professionals that 642,000 crimes were committed against Texans in a seven-year period.
And that includes rape, and in some cases, murder, and then some petty crimes, but then some significant drug crimes.
So the president is trying to stop this from happening.
To me, it just makes sense that we protect the American people.
Well, I think, Sean, it's about we live in a sort of post-fact world now where reality doesn't even matter.
And this is, I mean, you travel the country.
I travel the country.
The number one thing that people tell me is, where can I get information from?
Where can I actually get news from?
Because it is a law that if you're an illegal alien, you should not be.
There's certainly nothing unconstitutional about enforcing the law, but we mix narratives with facts now.
So you're anti-Muslims.
You want to enforce a border law.
So I think it's, again, it's much broader.
It's a media-driven thing.
It's the shifting of this so-called Overton window, which is the range of subjects the media deems publicly acceptable to discuss.
That's a good question.
Ryan, why do your liberal friends refer to the extreme vetting in seven countries that have some ties to terror that the Obama administration told us about?
Why do they refer to that as a religious test or a Muslim ban when 90% of the world's Muslims are not impacted?
Why do you liberals lie like that?
Why did they laugh at Trump and his comments about Sweden?
And I went through all the crimes that had been committed in Sweden because of the migrant problem they have.
Why are your friends in the media so quick to just lie to people?
One quick fact first.
You know what the safest city in America is year in and year out?
A city's over half a million people?
El Paso.
It never really gets talked about, but this crime spree that's supposedly happening down on the border somehow escapes the biggest city that's right there on the border itself.
But you didn't answer my question.
Why don't you call out Chuck Todd when he says this is a religious litmus test with the seven country temporary ban?
There are two reasons.
One, Donald Trump said I'm going to, but that's not what he did with his executive order.
Okay, that's number one.
Then number two.
You're not listening.
He said we're banning we're going to ban refugees from Syria.
If you're a religious minority in that country, which means Christians and other non-Muslims, then you get priority.
So it's like, okay, it's not a – It's a temporary – But here's another question.
It's indefinite in Syria.
Well, James Clapper, James Comey, CIA Director Brennan, McCall, who's the Homeland Security Committee Chairman, General John Allen, Michael Steinbeck, the assistant FBI director, all said ISIS will infiltrate the refugee population.
Here's my question.
If they're going to infiltrate, and all our intelligence people say so, why are you willing to gamble with Americans' lives?
And then I got to go.
Well, then own it.
I mean, you know, conservatives have been saying that Obama should name the enemy.
That's been the mantra for the last eight years.
So now liberals say, well, this is a Muslim issue.
I'll tell you what, we've got to take one more break.
I'm going to pick up this gamble question when we come back on the other side.
We'll get to more.
We'll also get some calls in here.
800-941.
Sean is on number.
We'll continue with James O'Keefe, Ryan Grimm, straight ahead.
Just last week he confirmed to the National Review that he is again considering a run in 2016.
Do it.
Do it.
Look at me.
Do it.
I will personally write you a campaign check now on behalf of this country which does not want you to be president but which badly wants you to run.
Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a Republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke.
Is that people think that Donald Trump is a clown?
Donald Trump is a clown.
I mean, does anybody seriously think that Donald Trump is serious about running for president?
Donald Trump.
You know, he's a clown.
Which Republican candidate has the best chance of winning the general election?
Of the declared ones right now, Donald Trump.
President Obama will go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States.
Exclamation point at real Donald Trump.
Well, at real Donald Trump.
At least I will go down as a president.
Basically, this is the beginning of the end for Trump.
It's the beginning of the end.
Beginning of the end?
This is probably starting of the beginning of the end for Donald Trump.
Donald, you're not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency.
The strongest person usually isn't the loudest one in the room.
So right now, we have Hillary's about a 75 or an 80% favorite.
We have different versions of the forecast.
Paul has Hillary up by double digits nationally, 12 points, 50 to 38 in four-way race.
Clinton leading in Florida, Clinton leading in North Carolina, Clinton leading in Ohio, Clinton leading in Nevada.
I could go on and on and on.
I continue to believe Mr. Trump will not be president.
And so, right now, Mr. Trump, to answer your call for political honesty, I just want to say you're not going to be president, all right?
It's been fun.
It's been great.
I love you.
Come on, come on, buddy.
We have a major projection right now.
Donald Trump will take Ohio.
That's the end of projects.
Donald Trump will carry the state of Florida.
Huge win for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump, while we project, will win in Kentucky in Indiana with its 11 electoral votes.
West Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, North Dakota with its three electoral votes.
And South Dakota, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, the state of Montana, North Carolina, Georgia, Iowa, Utah, Wisconsin, Arizona, Kansas with its six electoral votes, Nebraska with its five electoral votes, and Wyoming with its three electoral votes.
Sorry to keep you waiting, complicated business.
A lot of people have laughed at me over the years.
Now they're not laughing so much, I'll tell you.
All right, 22 now, 23 now till the top of the hour, 800-941 Sean, News Roundup Information Overload Hour.
James O'Keefe, founder of Project Veritas, Ryan Grimm, the Washington Bureau Chief of the Huffington Post.
All right, so, by the way, you got to love that montage we just played because the montage shows none of you guys in the media ever thought that Donald Trump could ever be president.
And all you guys were dead wrong, just like you were wrong about how bad Obama would be as president, and I keep pointing out his record as atrocious.
So why are you guys always so wrong?
Why are the people, your liberal media friends, so wrong, Ryan?
And when are they going to admit they were wrong to collude with Hillary as exposed by WikiLeaks?
Oh, you mean the CNN folks?
Well, how about Politico?
How about Time Map?
How about the New York Times?
How about CNBC?
How about Martha Raditz crying?
How about on the Politico stories?
Used to work at Politico.
Both of those stories that were called out in WikiLeaks were actually pieces that hit the Clinton campaign pretty hard.
What they did is shared copies of.
I've been interviewed by Politico.
I've never been given the right to edit the final product.
No, that's unusual, but it's not a right to edit.
It's a, you know, do you have complaints about this?
You know, that's a good idea.
But no, you're minimizing.
If you go back to the emails, don't let my editors know I'm doing this.
I want you to see it first.
They were colluding.
That's collusion.
It's not a standard practice.
No, that's called collusion.
They were doing something specially for Hillary because they like Hillary.
Here's a weird thing, and probably more than your listeners need to know, but it's actually fine ethically for a journalist to read a story.
That's a normal thing.
It's like to say, it's not normal to say, hey, don't tell my editors.
Don't tell my editors.
I want you to go over this and make sure it's okay with you.
I mean, well, not that it's okay with you, but are there any wink, wink, nod, nod, and you know it, and I know it.
And to deny it.
Yes, I mean, they were doing things for Hillary they weren't doing for Donald Trump because they wanted Hillary to win.
We don't know if.
Oh, yeah, we do.
Oh, yeah, we do.
They wanted Hillary to win.
Why were they writing negative stories about Hillary?
Okay, because you know what?
It was implied in three-dimensional chess.
Listen, you know what it is?
You know, deep down they would never do that to Trump.
And James O'Keefe, that's the problem.
They did collude with Hillary.
They wanted Hillary to win.
And they got exposed.
Sean, the democratization of the press has allowed for Trump to go to the people, and he is his own assignment editor now, throwing the football over the field into the laps of the spectators.
And Bannon was right when he said that the media should listen.
They've done no soul searching.
They've doubled down.
And the problem is that they're helping their cause.
They're hurting their cause because they will re-elect Trump.
And Sean, I'm going to say on your program today that usually I don't announce my next targets, but in the next 48 hours, Project Euritas, like WikiLeaks, will be releasing hundreds of hours of tape from within the establishment media.
Our next target is, in fact, the media.
We are releasing.
How long have you been working on this?
How long have you been working on this?
We've had people on the inside come to us, just like Julian Assange had people come to him.
We've had people, sources come to us and give us this information.
And we're going to be releasing it WikiLeaks style later this week.
Ryan.
Uh-oh.
Oh, boy.
Uh-oh.
My guest, James, tell me if I'm right here.
I bet you've got cable camera folks and other people that work on set who have access to audio.
Ryan, I just enjoy you wondering who I have.
That's part of the fun of it, right?
By the way, you don't have Ryan.
Can we say that?
Because you kind of like Ryan.
We don't have Ryan.
I wouldn't do that to you, Ryan.
We don't have you.
We don't have you personally.
I don't say anything.
By the way, I don't think I'd want James O'Keefe pissed off at me.
I'm done.
You know, I think it would be.
The American people are pissed off at the media.
They should be.
And they have a reason to be.
You know, I'm going to tell you, they're so corrupt.
Look, go back.
It was the New York Times.
It was Politico.
It was CNN.
It was MSNBC.
It was CNBC.
It was all the broadcast networks.
And now we see that they are so angry.
Their poor little egos have been pricked by a president that calls them out.
And these overpaid, lazy, whiny cable hosts can't handle it.
And so they've now declared war on President Trump.
And also, they've smeared and slandered and besmirched everybody around him because they're so desperate to get to him.
Although I do remember in 2009 when Obama tried to blacklist Fox News?
James Rosen, right?
Yeah, and the entire media kind of united around the idea that the media as an institution is important.
And He called me out by name 9, 10, 11, 12 times.
I don't know how many.
He called us out a couple times.
But by the way, I never noticed an article by Ryan Grimm in the Huffington Post.
I defend my buddy Sean Hannity.
Next time Trump comes after you, I will make up for it.
No, it's too late.
Obama did it for eight years, and you never came to my defense.
Your time has come and left.
Yeah, one thing led to another, and the eight years flies by.
But you know what, James?
It's deeper than that.
Look at the comment whitelash by Van Jones on CNN.
Well, what is he saying there?
He's basically saying everybody that voted for Donald Trump is racist.
That's what it's really implying.
Yeah, it's not grounded in reality.
I think that's the key word here, is reality.
And what motivated me to get into journalism was, I mean, I looked at the world around me and I looked at the newspapers and I said, well, the two aren't equal.
And I think that they're going to re-elect Trump.
And that's what I don't understand.
And voters have had enough with the artifice, the emptiness, the emptiness, the elements of corruption and crap that is in the news business.
They want to see what's actually going on.
And when people say, when people, Sean, what did it for me was Don Lemon on CNN called the people burning down Berkeley?
They said those were people paid by Steve Bannon.
Those were Breitbart people.
I thought, how could you make a statement like that?
How could you go out and make that claim without any evidence?
How could you say that I have to prove to you that they weren't Breitbart people?
And people watch that and they say, I don't want to pay attention to the media anymore.
And the media is hurting their own cause.
I think the media is so abusively biased and corrupt.
And I think, you know, look at, there was a poll out last week or the week before that showed that Donald Trump is trusted more than the media.
And why do you think that is, Ryan?
I mean, it speaks volumes.
The problem is that people like me and my fellow talk radio colleagues and on Fox News, a few of us, I got to tell you, we have been, people are now hip to this bias.
People can see it a mile away.
And in years past, they maybe gave the media the benefit of the doubt.
I mean, a couple of things.
All institutions, as you've noticed, from the White House to Congress to media nonprofits, you name it, they're all plummeting in support.
And I think there are bigger forces going on.
By the way, my ratings have never been higher.
I'm sure.
The conservative movement, for one, has over the last 20, 30 years.
And I'm not saying that with Braggadocia.
I'm not.
No, Linda's laughing.
I'm really not.
No, but I'm saying.
No, but seriously, I mean, there has been a concerted effort on the part of conservatives to delegitimize mainstream media.
And on the far left, you had a kind of mirror image from kind of the Noam Chomsky manufactured consent argument.
So you had, you know, maybe 50% of the population on one side and 20% of the population on the other, you know, kind of collectively deciding that the mainstream media is not to be trusted.
That leaves you with kind of New York Times readers, which still generally tend to trust the media.
But then as consumption patterns change and people don't sit around at 6 o'clock and listen to the evening news anymore, they're getting it from Trump.
You know what, Peter?
Peter?
Go ahead.
Ryan, the thing about Chomsky is that the left, he wrote about this in the 80s.
I know, manufacturing consent, but the left is now the instrument.
They have everything.
They have the culture.
I mean, the Republicans have all three branches of government, but they don't have Hollywood and they don't have the media.
So the normative order that Chomsky talked about now is the left order.
That is the thing that the media needs to uphold to maintain their advertisers and everything else.
So if you're an independent guy in one of Trump's concentric circles, I don't care whether you're Milo Yiannopoulos or anyone in that target.
The media, they just want to destroy you.
And it's all about bringing the knives out against the independent people.
And that's certainly what I've found in my career.
Let me go back to this immigration issue, if I may, because I forgot to get back to it.
A study revealed that 72 terrorists came from the countries that were covered by the Trump betting order, which the Seattle judge got wrong.
Also, ICE released 19,723 criminal aliens in 2015 alone.
Now, I would think, Ryan, you like to live in a nice house, right?
Safe neighborhood.
Don't you think it's stupid not to send criminal aliens back to the countries they came from?
I mean, I would say that our entire immigration system is stupid.
I didn't ask you that.
I'm asking very specifically, don't you think criminal aliens, it's a good start.
Let's get rid of them.
They didn't respect our laws and sovereignty to come in, and then they commit crimes when they get here.
Yeah, I mean, it depends on the level of the crime, but we also have to be.
What if they're just driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol and making our streets unsafe?
How about that?
No, I wouldn't.
I wouldn't.
They're putting American lives at risk by driving drunk.
So then everybody who gets a DOI?
No, I'm saying that if you're here illegally and you don't respect our laws and sovereignty and you're risking American lives, you're showing you don't appreciate what you've got.
So back when we were deporting a ton of very young gang members, we ended up creating this massive gang culture in Guatemala and Honduras, which then created all this.
you are really good at obfuscation what does that have to do with order what does that have What I'm saying is there's no easy solutions.
I'm not trying to.
No, if you're a criminal alien, it's an easy solution.
You get deported.
And look, I have the— You get deported.
Where do you get the crime?
I have the list of crimes.
You start a gang there, you disrupt that neighborhood, then you have a bunch of migration flow up north.
I'm not talking about running a red light here.
I'm talking about driving under the influence.
I'm talking about, look, as far as I'm concerned, in the age of Uber, nobody should drive drunk.
Seriously.
You know what?
Leave your keys, get in the car.
I don't care how much you drink.
It's none of my business.
Well, there isn't enough.
Uber hasn't reached all of the rural areas, but you get my point.
All right.
So anyway, I got to let you both go, but I really appreciate it.
James, when are you going to drop this?
48 hours?
Thursday.
We're probably going to do it Thursday.
Can you give us a hint what organizations are going to be impacted by this?
Come on, just a little itsy bitsy hint.
I'm telling you why.
It's one that Trump has really been talking about.
It's probably what you can probably do.
It's the one he's always targeting.
I'm not going to say it, but that's the one he's always talking about.
