Sean sits down with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich to review the latest on the "Anti-Trump Witch Hunt," namely all of the efforts by the Deep State to target Donald Trump. "Game of Thrones is a better introduction to where we are right now than any American Government class," laughed GIngrich. The truth is, the American people pay for these antics more than anyone.

All right, happy Monday, and we're glad you're with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of this extravaganza 800-941 Sean, if you want to join us and want to be a part of all this.
We've got Stephen Miller, the senior advisor to President Trump.
He Miller time, he had a big, big moment taking down Jim Acosta last week of CNN's fake news.
And so that was pretty interesting.
And he'll join us to talk about the abusively biased news media in this country.
And they are one-sided.
We are making a lot of headway in terms of the media now is feeling the pressure after their obsessive, compulsive coverage of everything that they have been reporting.
There was actually a, I think it was a political piece this weekend.
I forget.
I read it somewhere.
I usually give attribution.
It's just in my head.
And the piece was about Democrats are now afraid about the backlash.
They think, and they are beginning to realize, especially, I guess it was starting after Jared Kushner had written his 11-page memo, No, It's Not True, and just beat down every single solitary one of the allegations against him.
The Democrats are now thinking, you know what?
The country's sick of this.
The country's had it with this.
The country's tired of the never-ending coverage.
And as we have been pointing out, there's so much real evidence out there about real scandals that people have a genuine sense of fair-mindedness and fair play.
And they're beginning to see that this is now a witch hunt, as the president said a long time ago, against him.
And it's entirely one-sided and that they feel there's something so fundamentally unfair about the whole thing.
I want to go, where are the cuts?
For some reason, it's not on my sheet here.
Where are the cuts as it relates to Rosenstein from this weekend?
Do we have those?
Okay.
All right.
Oh, it's cut too.
That's right.
Sorry.
I want to play this.
He was on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace.
And I want to go over in great detail here how relevant these comments are and what they actually mean and what it means for Mueller.
And then And then we'll go over all the different varying scandals with all of their evidence that's overwhelming, incontrovertible.
And I see a light at the end of the tunnel.
And the light at the end of the tunnel is that the media is now going to be pushed in a corner.
And the Republicans now are going to have to use the power of being able to call hearings and subpoena powers to actually investigate real crimes.
And it's because the American people, as they learn more and more about each scandal, they have figured out here, after 11 months of almost nonstop, breathless, hysterical coverage by the news media, the destroy Trump media, that this is entirely one-sided and that, oh, we're the ones getting hurt here.
We're the ones that voted for this guy.
We're the ones that voted for this agenda.
We're the ones that want these changes made.
Now we see what he means when he talks about a swamp.
Now we understand what he means when he even calls it a sewer.
Now we understand what people like Hannity are talking about with the deep state, deep state, and how the leaks are designed to cripple the ability of this president to fulfill his promises.
Well, the people that went out and voted in November and campaigned so hard during the primaries in 2016 and starting in 2015, the big debates that had taken place, those people are pretty angry.
But let's go over what Rod Rosenstein, now, he's the deputy attorney general.
And remember, after Jeff Sessions recused himself, he is the one that decided to appoint Robert Mueller as the special counsel.
Here's what he said to Chris Wallace.
People ask about this, of course, because you have Ken Starr and Whitewater, and it began with a failed real estate deal in Arkansas and ended up with Monica Lewinsky to expand.
He would need to get approval from you to expand the nature of the investigation.
That's correct.
Just as did Ken Starr.
You know, Ken Starr received an expansion, which I believe was initiated by the Department of Justice by Janet Reno that resulted in that investigation.
Now, this is very, very important.
And I just saw that it looked like even CNN is now sort of following in the path of Democrats.
And they're slowly beginning to prepare their audience for what is going to be not only a major letdown on the Russia gate phony story investigation.
And I can't even begin to describe for you how much I know is coming out that's going to be true and how interesting a twist this is going to be and how much egg on people's faces they're going to have.
And I think the net result of all of this is going to be a destruction of all credibility.
Probably irreparable harm is going to be done.
Because people like me are going to remind you about the full year of lies and misinformation and propaganda and conspiracy theories that have been spewed with regularity without any evidence.
And if anything, the evidence kept pointing to the contrary, as we have played many, many times.
Those that say, well, there's smoke, but there's no fire.
Smoke, but there's no fire.
How many times has that analogy been used as it relates to Russia?
How many times did we hear one person after the other say under oath or before Congress or before a hearing, no, there's no evidence of collusion, none whatsoever.
And when it eventually all comes out, and it will, there's going to be a lot of questions that need to be answered.
But let's not look into our crystal ball and gloat yet.
But anyway, so when CNN is saying this, after the, I guess the legal analyst, Matthew Whitaker is his name, is a former U.S. attorney.
And he says it's time for Rosenstein to rein in Mueller because Mueller's investigation is, as I've been saying, out of control.
I keep talking about mission creep and military matters.
This is investigative creep.
This is what we saw with Patrick Fitzgerald.
Patrick Fitzgerald was supposed to find out who leaked the identity of Valerie Plain.
We were falsely told then that she was a covert operative.
She was not.
He learned on day one that the leaker was Richard Armitage.
And then at that point, Patrick Fitzgerald should have closed down his shop and said goodbye.
He didn't do it.
And then it ended up three years later that the only thing he could get was a perjury trap, in my opinion, for Scooter Libby.
And Scooter Libby was told, well, if you just give up the vice president on ABNC, you can go free.
You're free as a bird.
I mean, that's how some of these prosecutors work.
Well, we might have to take your wife into prison if you don't tell us what we want to hear.
And the tactics that are used sometimes by some unsavory prosecutors is beyond the pale.
So the president is correct in as much as saying Mueller has come up to a red line on the original purpose of this special counsel, which is Russia 2016 meddling investigation and collusion.
And he's now up to the point, well, we can't get him on Russia and collusion.
Let's move on to finances.
And after we move on to finance, let's move on to obstruction.
Well, Rod Rosenstein wrote a letter saying that the president should fire James Comey.
All right, so where does it go from there?
Now, the Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein, who is acting Attorney General for the purposes of this investigation, I think needs to order Mueller to limit the scope.
And that's what came up this weekend in the Chris Wallace interview.
And as he's told Chris Wallace, the special counsel is subject to the rules and regulations of the Department of Justice and that we don't engage in phishing expeditions, although this is what it's become.
Mueller understands, I understand the specific scope of the investigation, so it won't be a phishing expedition.
All right.
He said if something outside of that scope, he needs to come to the acting attorney general.
That's Rosenstein.
All right, so let's get to that.
And so far he hasn't done it.
Let me play for you, if I can here, me predicting James Comey would get a book deal.
You got that, Jason?
Yeah, pull up.
Just a second, sir.
We'll be right back.
Just a second, sir.
Great, great, great.
Nobody's paying attention.
Everyone's asleep.
Fine, no problem.
Linda's not here.
She's on vacation.
Well, does everybody go on vacation?
What did I say the day after he got fired?
Comey will get a multi-million dollar book deal, a movie, a mini-series, primetime special, Diane Sawyer, or maybe even George Stephanopoulos.
Why not go totally in for the Clintons and probably an MSNBC contributorship?
Yeah, well, we got the book deal.
That's all happening.
Here is what, and this is where Republicans that are not fulfilling their promises need to now do.
If we're going to have equal justice under the law, if we're going to investigate Russia, Trump, Russia, Trump, Russia, Trump, and it's dangerous when you give any special counsel, especially one that appoints eight Obama, Hillary, and Democratic donors and no Republican donors out of the 16, but eight of them are big Democrats.
One has questionable ethics in his background.
And one is Hillary Clinton's former attorney for the Clinton Foundation.
So, I mean, it just reeks of abusive bias by the special counsel.
But if we're going to have one here, let's find out why Hillary deleted 33,000 emails that were under subpoena.
Let's find out why she used bleach bit and acid wash of her server hard drive.
Let's find out whether and why hammers were used to break up BlackBerry and iPhone devices.
Let's find out why she sent the FBI devices without SIM cards, rendering them meaningless and useless.
Let's find out about James Comey, government property, and leaking classified information.
Now we have the general chief counsel of the FBI, James Baker, being investigated for leaking intelligence.
This is not a game.
This deep state, this president, is facing seven times more leaks than any of the two previous administrations combined.
These are deep state intelligence leaks.
It's a leak a day against this president.
And a lot of it is all anonymous sourced, and a lot of it is illegal.
You know, we've got to find out what happened.
All right, how about why is the UN ambassador unmasking hundreds of people in an election year that are related to Trump?
What does Susan, what does Samantha Power have to do with unmasking or Susan Rice or Ben Rhodes?
And then leaking of intelligence.
That's a violation of the Espionage Act every time.
If you have something under subpoena and it's destroyed, that's called obstruction of justice.
And then on top of that, then you've got the Espionage Act and every other crime we've talked about with Hillary.
Why did Debbie Wassaman Schultz's IT guy have government property hard drives busted up in his garage?
Why, after double billing and having relatives that worked at McDonald's and had a car wash and those that don't have a background in IT, why did they get paid $4 million?
Of course, the Uranium One deal.
And if we really care about Russia collusion, there's your Russian collusion.
And where did the money, the $145 plus million dollars, come from, really?
Where did the money really come from?
Follow the money.
I'd like to know where.
And then we can get to the Ukraine and their attempt to influence the election.
There's so much that is going on here.
Republicans need to get their act together, start doing their job investigating.
Rosenstein needs to stop the investigative creep of Mueller and call special counsels on all of these issues.
Thank God, the Attorney General Jeff Sessions is on his game, and he's digging deep.
And I think when all is said and done, the deep state is going to be exposed.
And a lot of people, I predict, are going to be indicted.
And a lot of people, I predict, are going to be convicted.
But the mainstream media won't tell you this stuff.
All right, so I have insomnia, but I've never slept better.
And what's changed?
Just a pillow.
It's had such a positive impact on my life.
And of course, I'm talking about my pillow.
I fall asleep faster.
I stay asleep longer.

All right, as we roll along, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941-Sean, you want to be a part of the program?
So Newt Gingrich, who's going to join us at the top of the next hour, and I agree with his comments here.
And he said that the Mueller threat has probably been the most deadly.
Has anybody thought about if they begin with Trump-Russia collusion and they end up on some long, drawn-out, manufactured whatever, which is what special counsels end up doing, even though he has absolutely put together a team that is so abusively biased on paper that it should be dismantled just on that's a prima facie case to get rid of it now.
And he ought to get rid of Hillary's lawyer and all the Obama, all the Clinton, all the Democratic donors, and he ought to find fair-minded people.
And what Newt said is he regards Mueller as an example as the deep state at its very worst because the deep state feeds the deep state.
How do you justify with no evidence after 11 months doing this Russia, Russia, Russia thing and not going after the Uranium One deal and the $145 million kickback?
How do you not understand that handing over or signing off on one of nine people to sign off on a deal and then getting kicked back $145 million with people associated with the deal as quid pro quo and need for investigation?
How do you take deleted emails that were subpoenaed and destruction of property like, let's say, bleach bidding, acid washing, et cetera, et cetera, and smashing devices?
How do you not view that in any way as obstruction?
How can you not say that it is mishandling of classified information, which is a crime to put a server in a mom-and-pop shop bathroom closet or destruction of classified top-secret special access programs?
How can you not investigate Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Ben Rhodes, James Baker, James Comey?
How can you not investigate, if you care about outside countries influencing our election, the Ukraine?
How can you not investigate what the hell is going on with Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the IT guy that tried to escape with an ankle bracelet after sending nearly 300 grand to Pakistan and having people unqualified on the payroll and her keeping this guy on after it's proven he double-billed?
Do you understand the depth of corruption here?
Do you understand that this is unprecedented ground this country is on?
Now, eventually the media is going to catch up to us.
We'll drag them kicking and screaming whether they like it or not.
Sean Hannity.
Always concerned for our country.
Always honoring our servicemen and service women.
And standing up for liberty every day.
I 25 to the top of the hour.
I got a call and I got emails this weekend.
You need to take more calls.
And I said, okay, I'll take more calls.
So we're going to do that half hour in the second hour of the program today.
Somebody would call up Sean Hannity.
I forgot all about that.
Remember when we used to run all the times Obama attacked me?
And all the, I mean, there was, I think we were up to like nine or ten, weren't we?
Yeah, right?
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
You were on his mind a lot.
And then finally, somebody, you could tell because it just ended.
So finally, somebody said to him, listen, sir, sir, Mr. President, sir, every time you attack this guy, his introduction to his radio show gets longer and longer and funnier and funnier and funnier.
And you got to stop mentioning Sean Hannity because it seems like Sean Hannity is in your head.
And you know what?
That's another example.
We were ahead of the curve.
We talked about his radicalism.
We talked about his background.
We talked about Frank Marshall Davis.
We talked about his being a Lalinsky disciple, an Acorn activist, about his love of black liberation theology and his association with Reverend Wright and then Bill Ayers and then Bernardine Dorn.
And, you know, Reverend Wright did one interview, and this was in March of, what, 2007.
And he got elected in 2008, and Reverend Wright was never to be seen or heard from again.
It wasn't until a year later that the GD America tapes came out, and America's chickens have come home to roost.
But meanwhile, we had been doing expose after expose for a long time.
You know, for those of you that, I want to explain something to all of you in this audience, because this is very important.
When I explain the varying scandals, I'm spending an awful lot of time on it because nobody else in the media will.
Nobody else in the media is, how do I explain this?
They're lazy, they're overpaid, and they want to be liked by each other, which is why if you ever look on social media, they all follow each other.
They all tweet each other.
They all retweet each other.
If you retweet me, I'll retweet you.
And if you retweet my story, I'll retweet your story.
It's so sweet.
It's really, it's charming.
Hello, cookies, milk.
It's charming.
So, remember when Michael Jackson said that?
Oh, that was so creepy.
So if you remember back in this election cycle, I made a decision, a conscious decision, to tell everybody every day because I knew nobody else would cover it.
And this is where I think we fill a very big, wide-open canvas niche in media.
And that is, we do news and information with our sources that nobody else in the media will do.
And when I made the decision for this election cycle to tell you every day about every Obama failure, 13 million more on food stamps, 50 million total, 8 million more in poverty, 50 million total.
95 million Americans out of the labor force is now down to 94.
We've crossed the million job-created mark, and Donald Trump has not even gotten his economic plan passed yet.
Wait till we get to all the high-paying career energy jobs.
There are millions of them available as we become energy independent.
That's going to be the biggest source of prosperity for the American people we've seen in our lifetime.
And then, if we can get the corporate tax cut, they'll be investing in factories and manufacturing centers, and then we'll get the repatriation of trillions from multinationals, and they'll be investing in factories and corporations and so on and so forth and creating jobs.
We really have an opportunity to get things rolling.
But I did it for a very specific reason because I knew nobody else in the media, or maybe just a few of my colleagues, and there are people that are great champions on talk radio.
There's not a whole lot of us in cable TV that support Donald Trump.
And the fact that I'm the one voice that recognizes this agenda is great for America.
It has nothing to do with the president personally.
I support the agenda.
And the president has an identity, and Republicans don't have an identity.
The president has a vision.
Republicans don't.
And I'm not beholden to any person or party.
I'm beholden to the forgotten men and women that got up and campaigned and voted on Election Day for a future that they want and deserve.
And the reason I'm now going to point out all of the corruption of the deep state, the illegal leaking by the deep state, investigating all the Obama holdovers, investigating those that were unmasking and leaking intelligence, former Obama top officials like Rhodes and Rice and Powers, and now we've got the FBI general counsel and Comey and all the others that I think eventually will be exposed.
I know the media is not going to touch that.
I know they're not going to touch Ukrainian election interference and a paid DNC staffer meeting at the Ukrainian embassy with the Ukrainian ambassador and according to Politico reporting back to Hillary's campaign in the DNC.
I know they're not going to cover Hillary Clinton's deletions and acid wash and bleach, all these things I talk about.
I know they're not going to cover.
I think Uranium One is the biggest, most corrupt deal ever.
And if we ever get to where the money came from, there's no telling how many people could be indicted, in my opinion.
So we'll give you the facts.
We'll give you information, but you're not going to get the information anywhere else.
And that goes for Debbie Wassam and Schultz's bizarre story.
So like during the election year, I can't report just one of these stories today and then never touch it again because you've got to stay on it to get it, to get people fully and completely aware of the details.
Number one, so that those of you that are fighting your battles, you can go out there and fight your battles with facts and information that you won't get in the media.
Then when you watch the news, you can see how shallow, how corrupt they are, how frankly lazy they are.
What was I going to play again?
I actually forgot.
Yeah, I was talking about Obama.
You know, there's a reason that I got Obama to attack me.
So we did a deep dive into President Obama, then candidate Obama.
We did a deep dive into issues like, let's see, the Duke of La Crosse case.
We did a deep dive on Ferguson.
We did a deep dive on the Cambridge police acting stupidly.
We did a deep dive in Baltimore, Freddie Gray.
And I told you, as soon as I got my information, sources on the ground, because we also do real reporting, unlike these lazy people in my profession, I told you none of those cops would ever be indicted.
Well, I turn out to be right every time.
George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin, well, we went and did our own digging there too.
We're the only people that interview Zimmerman.
Then we found out, oh, eyewitness.
It's like in the case of Michael Brown.
Hands up, don't shoot.
How many times was that reported by the media?
Well, now we're in a point where there is not equal justice under the law.
Now we're at a point where the media is so blatantly corrupt, one-sided, and ideological that we've got to remind you on a daily basis just how bad they are.
And when you do it effectively, like when I was vetting Obama, this is what the result is.
You already know how powerful the Latino vote can be.
In 2012, Latinos voted in record numbers.
The next day, even Sean Hannity changed his mind and decided immigration reform was a good idea.
Think about it.
That's a hateful thing.
If you were watching Sean Hannity consistently, he's a common person.
These guys, they've given me a hard time.
With respect to Sean Hannity, I didn't know that he had invited me for a beer.
You know, but I will take that under advisement.
Generally, his opinion of me does not seem to be very high, but I'm always good for a beer.
How are the wife and kids doing?
You know, they're doing great.
They seem to be thriving.
Watching Nickelodeon.
They're not listening to Sean Hannity.
I'll put Mr. Burgess up against Sean Hannity.
They'll tear him up.
Is Sean Hannity suddenly going to get on the airways and save?
You know, I was wrong about this Obama guy.
He's my man.
No, I mean, I think that there's a certain segment of hardcore Sean Hannity fans that probably wouldn't want to go have a beer with me.
There's no doubt about that.
I'd love to pay for a beer.
I'll redistribute wealth.
I'll pay for the beer.
And here's something that would probably surprise everybody.
I would be respectful.
He's a former president.
But I would challenge him, and I would get into the issue.
Well, that, Mr. President, your policies failed.
Let me explain why I think that's the case.
I'm going to be very polite about it and why I think his worldview prevented him from being even like Clinton.
Bill Clinton was pragmatic.
The era of big government's over.
End of welfare as we know it.
We saw no such growth out of President Obama, in my view.
The anointed one.
All we saw was praise.
And then the Russia, and then the Rainian deal.
So back to, it was from politico.
I meant to get to this.
Fearful of alienating voters who appear more concerned about the economy, healthcare, Democrats campaigning in districts across the country are de-emphasizing Russia in their rhetoric.
And some are warning that a persistent focus on Russia will backfire.
In races where I'm working, I think voters think that Russia's important questions need to be answered, said Bill Burton.
Bill Burton's not an idiot.
Bill Burton's been, you know, he's a Democratic consultant.
He's not stupid.
He was involved with Obama.
He said it at a political convention this weekend, but they're mostly sick of hearing about it.
They want to hear politicians talk about things that are more directly important to their lives.
He's right.
And anyway, in a state that's critical to the party's efforts to retake the House, another Democratic strategist named Darry Sragau, whose Republican target book Handicaps Races in California, called Russia a distraction and said Democrats are going to be in deep trouble if they don't talk about what voters care about.
Let's not give them any more advice on this.
Let's just leave it right where it is.
One thing that is happening, and our message is slowly beginning to resonate, I can tell you that.
The ranking Democrat on the House Intel Committee said that he wants to interview the author of this discredited Trump dossier, which I think is a good idea, and that's all part of now the beginning and the emergence of some pushback.
And now that they're, you know, Jeff Sessions said we're going to find the leakers.
There's got to be people.
You want to end deep state leaks?
Find them, arrest them, prosecute them, and if they're found guilty, put them in jail.
But anyway, Adam Schiff said that he'd be willing to travel to London to meet with Chris Steele, the retired MI6 agent, hired by Fusion GPS.
That's another scandal.
I didn't even mention that in my list of scandals.
We'd like to have him come before the committee.
If he's not willing to do that, we'd be happy.
And myself, we can go to London and sit down with them.
I'd like to sit down with him.
I'd like to ask who he paid to get information or if he paid to get information about Trump in a Ritz-Carlton in Moscow with two hookers urinating in a bed, which turned out not to be true.
You know, another thing that broke on Friday, records of the Clinton-Lynch meeting that Comey said didn't exist.
The FBI undercoat didn't exist.
And then 413 pages of emails related to the Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting.
And, you know, it was denied that they ever existed.
And by the way, a lot of this doesn't look good.
Jay Seculo is going to talk about that on TV tonight.
Oh, nobody in the media is reporting that.
This is like an open canvas for me.
You know what my hardest job at this point is, is to keep up with all of this.
It's just like there's so many.
It's so much information.
That's all I do.
People, why aren't you tweeting?
I'm not tweeting because I don't have time.
I haven't been on Twitter at all, hardly.
I do not have time to tweet.
No idea what's going on on Twitter.
It's just, you know, by the way, I'm attacked there half the time anyway.
Why do I want to read Hannity?
You're evil.
Hannity, you suck.
Hannity, let's get you fired.
Let's boycott Hennity.
You know, I mean, okay.
The sun rises, the sun sets, and there's a fire Hannity and boycott Hannity Day.
I don't have time for it.
I wish I did because I actually like fighting.
I like the political battle.
It's a lot of fun for me.
But right now, I don't have time.
You're watching what's happening with North Korea?
This is really dangerous.
Kim Jong-un is vowing thousand-fold revenge for new sanctions.
Oh, and the cover of Drudge today has a picture of Kim Jong-un.
And remember, I told you last week about the submarines they have.
And the Pentagon, by the way, is working on a drone-based missile defense to stop North Korea.
We better be.
Now that we know that their ICBMs could reach New York, that's a problem.
That's a big problem.
What else do we have here as we go to break and we're going to take your calls?
Oh, Maxine Waters wants to be the next speaker.
I'm actually supporting that effort.
I think she should be.
She's a powerful voice in the Democratic Party and maybe more outspoken and honest than a lot of her colleagues.
Reclaiming my time.
Reclaiming my time.
Titiary.
Reclaiming my time.
Okay.
Reclaiming my time.
Matter of fact.
Mr. Secretary, I'm reclaiming my time, please.
Because I thought I was allowed to answer questions.
Reclaiming my time.
No, we didn't leave a message.
Reclaiming my time.
What he failed to tell you was: when you're on my time, I can reclaim it.
Oh.
Wow.
I'm going to reclaim my time.
All right, Newt Gingrich, very, very strong statements against the deep state, the Mueller, you know, investigative creep and all the other scandals that are not being investigated and weak Republicans.
Then we're going to get to your calls in the next hour.
And then we've got Miller Time, Steve Miller, his beatdown of CNN Fake News, Jim Acosta.
And again, more of your calls.
It's all coming up.
This is the Monday edition, Sean Hannity show.
News you won't get anywhere else by your corrupt media.
People ask about this, of course, because you have Ten Star and Whitewater, and it began with a failed real estate deal in Arkansas and ended up with Monica Lewinsky to expand.
He would need to get approval from you to expand the nature of the investigation.
That's correct.
Just as did Ken Starr.
You know, Ken Starr received an expansion, which was initiated by the Department of Justice by Janet Reno that resulted in that investigation.
But my question, it sounds like, I don't know if you're avoiding it or you're answering it implicitly.
It sounds like you're saying it's not fair if they find some crime that is not related to the election or to Russia.
Any kind of crime is fair for the special prosecutor to pursue.
If the special prosecutor finds a violation of law, he can pursue it himself or he can turn it over to another prosecutor.
The grand jury now, very important to understand, Aaron, and this point I think has been neglected, is an arm of the court.
It's not only an investigative tool that can be used by Robert Mueller's special counsel.
It is an arm of the court.
All right, that was Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General.
He's the one that appointed the special counsel of Robert Mueller.
And then beyond that, you've got Richard Blumenthal.
Any crime is fair for the special prosecutor to pursue.
That's not true.
They need absolutely positively, and Rosenstein said this this weekend, that Mueller can investigate any crime, but he has to approve this investigative creep.
We already know they've gone well beyond the scope of the original investigation, and that was Russia-Trump campaign collusion.
And now we're on to obstruction, and now we're on to finances, and now we're on to God only knows where this thing ends.
And we saw what happened with Patrick Fitzgerald.
That started with Valerie Plain, who was not an operative, and ended up with, oh, a perjury trap for Scootaliby.
And that's the problem with all of these special counsels.
Joining us now, former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.
How many, at one point, I think you had how many ethics charges against you, and they were all dropped.
Well, we had 83 against me.
82 were dropped, and the only one that had any substance was actually a letter my lawyers wrote, which was a mistake.
So I owed it to my lawyers who had prepared the letter.
But we actually defeated the Federal Election Commission, and we defeated the Internal Revenue Service.
But it was a five-year-long war in which the left, who were bitterly resentful that we had won control of the House for the first time in 40 years and decided that I was the problem.
And so they went out of the way to try to destroy me by these kind of attacks, which is why I'm probably much more cautious than most Republicans in watching what I see developing.
You know, when I see a grand jury in a constituency in which Trump got 4.8% of the vote, that is, by 19 to 1, the constituency did not vote for him.
I say to myself, now, how likely is that grand jury going to be filled with people who are hostile to the president?
When I consider then that that grand jury could lead to a trial in the same jurisdiction, and I remember that in the case you mentioned, in terms of a total abuse of prosecutorial power, when the objectively, there's no question that Patrick Fitzgerald totally abused his power to go after Dick Cheney's chief of staff.
Well, in the trial of that case, there were 11 Democrats and one Green Party member.
You see, it sounds to me like Mueller is now on a phishing expedition, and this was addressed this weekend.
And what Rosenstein said was a couple of things that interested me.
Bob Mueller understands, I understand the specific scope of the investigation.
So it's not a phishing expedition, and that the special counsel is subject to rules and regulations of the Department of Justice.
And if it's something outside that scope, he needs to come to the acting attorney general, which is him.
Now, my question is, why isn't Rosenstein looking at the people that Mueller hired and saying, why are you only hiring Democratic donors?
And why did you hire Hillary's attorney to be part of this investigation?
Well, look, I think that's exactly the right kind of question.
And I noticed one of the news media this morning, which was analyzing the current situation, and they had three Obama Justice Department officials as their commentators.
You have to think to yourself, okay, can the fix be in more than this?
But I think this is closer to Game of Thrones than it is to anything normal.
I think what you have is an outsider won the Capitol.
The Capitol is now in rebellion against the outsider.
The Capitol is using all of its various tools, including the news media, the Congress, and the judiciary, to try to go after this usurper who, after all, shouldn't have won.
And I think you have to put this in that kind of a context.
This is a classic story of an outsider trying to reform an institution and the institution, in this case, the deep state, doing everything it can to destroy the person who has usurped power.
And I think that's the view of these people.
That's why you get people like Congresswoman Waters saying she's thrilled when people break the law and leak things because it might hurt Trump.
If you think about it as an American, that's kind of crazy to suggest that what we ought to do in order to after a political leader is leak America's national security secrets.
But it shows you the level of derangement that we're now dealing with.
Let me play on that front.
Let me play Maxine Waters and what she said on Sunday about I welcome the leakers.
And again, you know, what she's referring to here is, again, this is about surveillance without a warrant against Americans, incidentally picked up, then their names unmasked.
That's illegal.
And then, of course, the leaking of raw intelligence, which is a violation of the Espionage Act.
So she's actually advocating, in my opinion, a crime.
I am so glad they're telling us what's going on.
And we don't need to hear these conversations.
They're confidential.
This is presidential conversations.
I need to hear.
You don't agree with those who say, wait a minute, this is a national security problem.
We shouldn't be leaking these conversations.
Not really, because the first thing they need to do is start with the president.
The president gave classified information to Russians in the White House, and our ally, Israel, was very upset with us.
So start with him, number one.
Number two, if the people around you are leaking in the way that they're doing, they're trying to tell us something.
Of course, we don't want classified information leaked out, and I don't think they would do that with a credible president.
They're doing that to this president because he has defined himself as someone who cannot be trusted, someone who's going to get this country in trouble.
And so I welcome the leaks.
I welcome the information.
That keeps us focused on him and talking about what's wrong with him.
Wow.
Doesn't that sound like advocating a crime?
And that's my point.
I mean, my point to all of our listeners is you're watching a morality play.
You're watching the rise of a rebel.
The rebel wins when he's not supposed to.
The old order is doing everything it can to destroy him.
And they are justifying breaking the law.
They're justifying risking our national security.
They are distorting dramatically the power of the Justice Department.
And again, I go back to Patrick Fitzgerald and the Bush administration.
I'll just say, I don't have any confidence.
I look at the destruction of Senator Stevens in Alaska.
I don't have any confidence in the so-called issue.
And then he was proven.
Wasn't he proven innocent after all that?
He was proven innocent.
Yes.
I mean, it turned out that the document which absolutely proved he was innocent was at the top of the file, which the prosecutor had hidden from him.
You know, you actually used raw numbers that really, it actually got picked up by BizPackReview.com because I'm agreeing with you.
And you actually tweeted out this weekend that President Trump got 68.63% of the vote in West Virginia, 4.8% in Washington, D.C. Guess where Mueller has a grand jury.
And then you further went on to say that Mueller is the deep state at its worst, worst here.
And you agree with Alan Dershowitz, and you said it gives the prosecutor the power to indict in the District of Columbia, which is a district that's so heavily Democratic.
Which sets the stage for a trial in the same district.
It's not, I mean, look, a really good prosecutor, and there's no question Mueller's a really good prosecutor, can almost always lead a grand jury no matter where they are.
But if you then try the case in an area where the defendant got 4.8% of the vote, it just strikes me as patently obvious.
And when I went back and did some research and realized that Dick Cheney's chief of staff was convicted with false information from the prosecutor in a jury which had 11 Democrats and one Green Party member and had nobody who was a Republican, nobody who supported the Bush administration, that's not a true jury by your peers.
And I was not suggesting that they should try to impanel a grand jury in West Virginia.
I was drawing the contrast and suggesting that there's something almost beyond irony about the deep state agent picking the Capitol, which is deeply hostile.
I mean, 19 to 1 hostility against the guy who now is trying to change the Capitol.
And we're all supposed to think this is normal.
And we're supposed to think, well, of course, there wouldn't be any prejudice.
How can a reasonable person believe this stuff?
Well, you got out of the 16 people that he's hired, investigators and lawyers, eight of them are Clinton, Obama, Democratic donors.
There's not one Republican donor.
Not one.
And Mueller himself, I think the number is 99.3 or 8% of his firm donated to Hillary.
It's 99.82, actually.
0.18 donated.
By the way, really?
You really have to embarrass me on my own show this way.
You really have to give me the exact percentage.
I'm just trying to be accurate because I know how much you value.
Let me be professorial for a half second.
Go ahead.
Two books, two books that our listeners ought to read.
One is by Sidney Powell called License to Lie, which is a study of the Justice Department violation of the law, both in the Senator Stevens case and in the Enron and Arthur Anderson cases.
One of whom, by the way, one of the lawyers she writes about, is on Mueller's panel, so it's a direct connection.
The second book is a very old book called The Bramble Bush, which is a study of the realistic school of laws, a 1929 Columbia Law School lectures, which I went back and read years ago because I was fascinated.
This is a guy who basically lectures the entering students and says, look, there's the law as it's written and the law as it's practiced.
And what I'm suggesting to our audience is when you watch the people Mueller's hiring and you watch him open up a grand jury in a 19-to-one anti-Trump environment, look at how it's practiced.
Don't tell me about all these fine nuances and all these things.
And I think it's ironic that Dershowitz, who everybody agrees is a great lawyer and a great law professor, Dershowitz and I have, Dershowitz is the one who first raised the question about D.C.
I expanded on that.
I promptly got attacked, of course, because I'm not a lawyer.
I'm just a history teacher.
But I can now shelter behind Dershowitz, who has said absolutely that this is, if you don't think this is a serious thing.
Do you know what he said, which really caught my, he goes, give me the person and I'll give you the crime.
Meaning that, and this goes to the old saying, I mean, the prosecutor always has an advantage before the grand jury.
I will tell you this.
It is where are, I'll ask you this when we get back.
Where are the grand juries into all of these other issues where there's so much more evidence that is overwhelming and controvertible?
We'll have more with Newt Gingrich in a minute.
All right, as we continue, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is with us.
I wanted to ask you about, you know, and I can go through the tarmac meeting with Loretta Lynch, the it's a matter, it's not an investigation, the deletion of emails, the bleach bit, acid washing of servers, and then, of course, handing the FBI phones and BlackBerries without SIM cards and then busting other ones with hammers or Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her IT guy with government hard drives smashed into pieces according to reports in his garage.
Then it's the deputy counsel of the chief counsel of the FBI.
He's under investigation for leaking.
Comey's role, which we know is inappropriate.
Then it's Uranium One.
Then it's Ukraine.
I mean, there's so much out there.
How is it possible with all of this wrongdoing that there's no special counsel here?
Well, I think, how is it possible that there aren't a whole series of congressional hearings?
I mean, there's so much stuff here to be subpoenaed, so much stuff to be put on the record.
We've now learned, for example, that Loretta Lynch used a second email account under a false name so that when FOIA requests are put in, they weren't naming the name she was using.
I mean, this kind of stuff is just blatant effort to get around the law.
And I think it's astonishing that we don't have, for example, all the donation records for the Clinton Foundation.
If you really want to look at foreign influence buying in the United States, there's no better venue than the Clinton Foundation.
And yet, apparently, nobody has gone out, whether the Justice Department or Congress, and demanded that they be turned over.
So I am with you.
I am absolutely puzzled both by the passivity of the Justice Department and by the passivity of the Congress at what are obviously huge zones of lawbreaking.
The people just kind of shrug off.
Well, it seems overwhelming the amount of evidence.
And, you know, it goes back to one other thing.
It's not like the Republicans are legislating.
I mean, when you took over Congress, you had a certain sense of urgency to get things done in 100 days.
You kept your promise.
I've never seen a bunch of people that are so incapable.
Look, you have 535 members of the House and Senate.
You can do more than one thing at a time, and they could be very methodically and systematically building a case here.
I mean, just to inform the country.
I mean, just so we understand what happened and how did it happen.
And I think to talk about Russia without understanding who done it in the Clinton Foundation is just a farce and is an example of the degree to which it's an anti-Trump witch hunt, disguised by the elite media in their moralistic terms.
You know, I just don't think I've seen a time like this where there are all these varying factions aligned to take down a president.
And I'm not overstating it.
It's absolutely true.
The deep state, unprecedented leaking Democratic Party that is just absolutely beyond any approach to work with the president, Republicans that can't get their job done, and some of them gleefully hating the president outwardly when Senate doors close.
And you put it in the media, which is so corrupt, and you add all these forces together, and you know who suffers?
The American people.
That's why I think Gain of Thrones is a better introduction to where we are right now than any American government class you ever heard of.
Wow.
By the way, is that your grandchildren?
No, no.
I'm just talking to you standing outside of McDonald's in Oscio, Wisconsin.
I'm here with my mother-in-law.
By the way, my favorite is a quarter pound of a cheese, a fry, and a Coke.
I just can't eat it a lot.
I mean, I blow up like a balloon.
Well, Steve, you ought to be here with us having a good time, Stephanie.
So you're going to McDonald's right now.
You getting a Big Mac or a quarter pound of a cheese?
No, no, no.
I got the artist and grilled chicken.
If you're going to go to McDonald's, you might as well go for it.
That's just total waste.
Listen, I'm like you.
If Steve Donaldson got what I wanted every day, I wouldn't fit in the car.
Are you getting French fries at least?
No, we're splitting one small fries into the whole table.
I know how it works.
All right, New King, which thank you for being with us, 800-941 Sean.
When we come back, we'll get to your calls.
And later at the top of the next hour, it's Miller time, Steve and Miller's beatdown of Jim Acosta of CNN.
We're going to talk to him about that and the press operations at the White House and much more straight ahead.
...show talking about what's right for America with a renewed commitment to keep you up to date on the breaking news stories.
Hi, 25, now till the top of the hour.
Toll-free our telephone number, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, I got a call and an email rather, and some Twitter notes from people saying, you're not taking enough calls on your radio show.
We need to vent two.
So we're leaving the half hour here and a half hour in the next hour just for your calls.
So I'm going to do just that now.
Peter is in Ontario, in Canada, next on the Sean Hannity Show.
Peter, hi, how are you?
Happy Monday, and we're glad you called.
Hey, Sean, an absolute honor.
Our family always keeps you and your team in our prayers.
Listen, Sean, I'll get right to it.
We know there was no underlying crime for Rosenstein to call special counsel.
And, you know, Mueller, obviously, we see huge conflicts, massive conflict of interest.
You know, I think, and I'm sure you'll agree with me on this.
If President Trump went to address the nation and pointed all these things out, but really, you know, really got into it in a PowerPoint format almost, you know, the activity, the lawlessness of the past administration, you know, Lewis Lerner, IRS, Hillary, Loretta Lynch.
If he really detailed it, Sean, I think that would go a long way.
You mean, what exactly do you want me to do?
I would say he addresses the nation.
He has a massive press conference.
It's promoted for a day or two.
I mean, you know, CNN would be forced to run it.
And if not, could you imagine that?
It would be streamed everywhere.
You'd have yourself and Fox.
And I think, you know, just the Twitter's fine.
I love the fact he's got 100 million followers and all that sort of stuff.
But to get his mug in front of the TV, you know what?
You've got to admit, Sean, you bring it out every single day.
Do you know how frustrated the American people are?
Now, I'm just across the border, but basically, you know, I hear you out of Buffalo, so it's syndicated into Canada.
You've got to get Spolling up here, like Rush, like others, that are, you know, great men.
And I'm just going to be honest.
I don't think this president ever needs to go before a hostile media that is out to destroy him.
And I'll tell you why.
Because he doesn't need them.
He has the ability on social media now to do more to reach the American people than anybody else.
I mean, I've got a list of his tweets from earlier today where he's ripping Richard Blumenthal and Richard Blumenthal's lies.
I mean, he is capable of bypassing a media establishment that just gets more hysterical and louder and breathless every day.
And I think that if he stays with his message, look, did you see the rally in West Virginia last week?
He has not the people that have lost the American people's confidence.
Well, there's no Democratic agenda now except to hate the president.
Nothing.
There's nothing positive.
There are no solutions.
We got a bumper sticker out of him like two weeks ago and the better way or whatever that means and a slogan last week.
But we don't have any specifics.
They destroyed healthcare.
The people that are rightly getting the wrath of the American people are weak, spineless, visionless, and frankly lacking identity Republicans.
The president, he has an identity.
He has an agenda.
He's fighting for it.
He's even calling out the Republicans.
And so I just think at the end of the day, I think the president should just stay on his message and absolutely keep pounding away the way he is.
And that means going around the country the way he does.
And that means tweeting the way he does with maybe 5% of them we don't need.
You know what, Sean, at this point, too?
We saw the Wallace interview, and I thought that he could have been a little bit, you know, it seems when he's interviewing a conservative, he'll interrupt.
And don't get me wrong, I like Chris, but I think he could have been a lot harder on Rosenstein.
I really do.
Look, I didn't see the interview.
I only read the transcript, and sometimes tone and cadence matters.
You know, look, I mean, Chris Wallace, I'm sure, doesn't agree with everything Sean Hannity says, but he does his job.
And you know what?
He has a very different role than I have.
And I understand that there are those people that want to be, quote, journalists.
I'm a journalist, but I'm an advocacy journalist.
I'm a journalist, but I'm a talk show host.
Being a talk show host, it encompasses a wide variety of different duties.
Sometimes I'm doing investigative work.
Sometimes I'm doing straight reporting.
Sometimes I'm doing a straight news interview.
Sometimes I'm debating.
Sometimes I'm giving news an opinion, which I do all the time.
Not all the time, but I do a lot of the time.
So it's far a different role than what other people do.
It's like the editorial page, but I also do journalist work.
We do our own digging.
We get our own sources.
We get our own information.
And frankly, I think we disseminate more real news than a lot of other people out there.
And we're proud of what we do.
And I think we play a vital role in this news media landscape, especially today because they're all one-sided.
And it's like a bunch of sheep following each other.
Anyway, 800-941, Sean, appreciate it.
Back to our busy telephones here as we say hi to Greg is in Boise in Idaho next.
Greg, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hi, Sean.
Hey, thanks for taking my call.
The reason I wanted to talk to you is this Russia collusion story, which to me, it was really obvious.
The day after the election, they come up with this as a way to point the finger at Trump for doing what Hillary Clinton actually did for her entire four years as Secretary of State, very obviously taking bribes from foreign governments and corporations.
75% of the in-person meetings she had were with people that donated to the Clinton Foundation and paid money to her and Bill personally.
She had all of her emails in her personal server.
Obama had to know that.
My 16-year-old son said, well, wouldn't Barack Obama know she had a personal server because her email address was at clinton.org, not at U.S. government?
I mean, it's just patently obvious that the massive corruption going on there.
And Obama knew about it.
There's no way he didn't know about it.
And so you got to understand, as every new development comes out, and it's like we're peeling the layers of an onion here.
And when you find out Susan Rice is being investigated for her role in unmasking and whether she leaked intelligence, and then the same for Ben Rhodes.
And why in heaven's name would Samantha Power, who is the UN ambassador, have hundreds of unmasking requests?
Then you've got the Comey investigation and what he was involved in.
And did he leak classified information?
The general counsel of the FBI, he's now being investigated for intelligence leaking.
And slowly but surely, and you go back to what Jeff Session said last week, we're getting to the bottom of the deep state.
And the deep state is recoiling and fighting back even harder on their end.
This deep state, seven times the amount of leaks against this president than the other two presidents combined.
And it's not even long into his administration.
And what's happening, and you got to understand this, is that at the very least, they want to stop his agenda.
If they really have their way, they want to take him out of office, and they want to overturn an election.
And what they haven't factored in in all of this is the impact it's having on the country and how people that like the president, love the president, work for the president, voted for the president, that believe in his agenda, you know, how they're going to react to all of this.
And if you think we're divided now, they keep pushing this.
It's just going to get uglier and uglier and uglier.
And it's just a fact.
There are people that are trying to undo the results of an election and render this president impotent and incapable of fulfilling his promises.
That's what's happening.
And that's part of it, and that's widely discussed.
But what's not widely discussed, even by Trump, is, I think, the real reason it was brought up in the first place was to say, well, now, we thought Hillary was going to win.
That means no investigation into anything.
Now that Trump's won, you better not investigate Hillary because that will lead to Obama.
Obama's not going to be tarnished no matter what.
Look, Obama already tarnished himself.
He had eight years, and I can regurgitate his failed record in my sleep.
And I've told this audience all of that many times.
So I don't think anything is going to do it.
But the fact that it's all Obama people that seem to be involved in this setup, we're going to get at some point an investigation into all this.
It's not going to go away.
Just because we're ahead of the curve and we're demanding what ought to be done now doesn't mean that it's not going to happen.
It just means that every single other person is really slow in this game and they also have an agenda.
But they'll catch up to us eventually because we're not going to stop.
And, you know, if at times I have to repeat myself on this program, you've got to cut me a little slack here because I can't just say, oh, the general counsel, the FBI is being looked at for leaking intelligence or, oh, why did Samantha Power unmask hundreds of Trump people in the last year of the Obama presidency in an election year in the lead up to the election or Susan Rice or Ben Rhodes?
So it takes a certain amount of steady pressure versus, you know, just saying it once and let's move on to the next news the next day, especially considering we don't have the echo chamber that the mainstream media has.
And, you know, in many ways, we're out there on a limb as usual by ourselves.
And as a result, people, of course, want to also take me out and silence my voice.
And it's, you know, if the sun rises and the sun sets, you can pretty much be assured that hateful people on the left don't want me to be exposing the things I'm exposing.
And it's now slowly getting traction.
It's slowly forcing the media to eat their vegetables and do their job.
That it's going to take a while.
But I'm very confident we will get where we need to be.
800-941-Sean, our number.
Surfer Die is in Hawaii.
You're on my very, very, very bad list, you know.
Oh, I am?
Really?
Yes.
Well, Sweet Mama 326 and I were banned from New York City, so, okay, let's hear it.
Oh, these are the Twitter peeps, part of the Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled Twitter Army Brigade.
I'm only kidding, and how are you?
Oh, I'm doing wonderful.
How are you?
You know, the rallies Trump has been doing prompted me to call you.
You know, I think he's really highly effective on social media and with his rallies that he's doing.
I wish he would do one in a blue state like mine, Hawaii.
And I'm curious to see if we could fill a stadium.
I think he could fill a stadium anywhere.
I think so, too.
I mean, logistically, he's not going to come to Hawaii.
It's so far away.
It takes up too much of his time.
But with North Korea acting up and everything, I mean, it might be a good idea for him to do.
I see him as like a people person.
He kind of connect with people.
That is a really good idea, actually, and that is that the president should – look, it's not just, by the way, Hawaii.
I mean, you see the picture on Drudge today.
Now we've got submarine-launched nuclear missiles or ICBM capability of, or at least mid-range capability of Kim Jong-un.
And, you know, this guy is being so defiant, and there's no good option on North Korea, but also he can reach he can reach the continental United States.
He can reach Boston and New York.
That's scary.
I know.
But what I'm saying with Trump and his rallies is I really, well, it could be, I'm making this up, I'm not sure, but he sees the value in people and not so much of status and elitism, you know, that the left really adores, right?
They kind of like to, you know, use people and they value status where Trump kind of maybe values people.
He values his voters.
I mean, Certain people on the left, they would just love a puppet-like, clean, articulate, proper, ineffective president.
You know, I, for one, would this is different, though, surf or die.
And by the way, why you surf with sharks is beyond any understanding I have in life, but they want to take dive with them.
They want to dive with them all the time.
Oh, that's yeah, that's lovely.
I mean, I just, nothing else I want to do would dive with sharks and hope they eat me.
Oh, it's so much fun.
So much fun.
But I'd only say this to you: they want him destroyed politically.
And if you believe anything less than that, you're not seeing the truth and you're not seeing reality.
All right, you live in paradise.
I'm jealous.
Have a great day out there.
And thanks for listening.
We're on in the morning.
We are.
We're on in the morning in Hawaii.
It's crazy.
But take a quick break.
We'll come back.
We'll continue.
All right, real quick, we'll get back to our busy telephones here.
Bob is in Indiana, the Hoosier State.
Bob, hi, how are you?
Happy Monday.
Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
Great.
What's going on?
Well, I don't think you're doing full justice to this whole media leaks thing.
I think there's a far greater conspiracy here.
The black Russian dossier, all of those leaks are actually being identified and accumulated and then found by a group of bottom feeders.
Everyone's been calling them Obama hangovers, Obama leftovers.
That group is actually doing identification of the leaks.
Most of the.
Well, no, I mean, look at the places that they're leaking to the mainstream media, mostly the Washington Post, mostly the New York Times.
I mean, it's a certain predictable pattern that we're seeing, and it seems like they're alternating.
And then what happens is you get the breathless, hysterical reporting by the mainstream media on television, and they just run with whatever it is, no matter how many anonymous sources are mentioned, and it's just not credible.
And nobody does their own reporting.
I mean, the media is now one big, okay, I'll report your phony news if you report my phony news.
I'll retweet your phony news.
Please retweet my phony news.
And that's really the environment.
And the hope is to create breathless.
There's only so many times you're going to be able to cry wolf here.
Only so many times you're going to be able to get the attention of the American people.
And I just think at some point the American people are going to be like, really?
You know, we're a little sick of this.
Really?
It's just not true.
That's my take.
But anyway, Bob, I appreciate it.
Welcome from Indiana.
When we come back Miller time, Stephen Miller is going to join us after his beatdown of Jim Acosta of CNN Fake News.
That's next.
And your call straight ahead.
Tell me what years meet Jim Acosta's definition of the Statue of Liberty, home, law of the land.
So you're saying a million a year is the Statue of Liberty number.
900,000 violates it, 800,000 violates it.
You're sort of bringing a press one for English philosophy here to immigration.
And that's never.
For Jim, what the United States has been about this whole notion of, well, they could learn, you know, they have to learn English before they get to the United States.
Are we just going to bring in people from Great Britain and Australia?
Jim, actually, I have to honestly say, I am shocked at your statement that you think that only people from Great Britain and Australia would know English.
It's actually, it reveals your cosmopolitan bias to a shocking degree that in your mind, no, this is an amazing, this is an amazing moment.
This is an amazing moment that you think only people from Great Britain or Australia would speak English is so insulting to millions of hardworking immigrants who do speak English from all over the world.
Jim, have you honestly, Jim, have you honestly never met an immigrant from another country who speaks English outside of Great Britain and Australia?
Is that your personal experience?
Of course, there are people who come to the bank.
But that's not what you said.
And it shows your cosmopolitan bias.
And I just want to say you're trying to engineer racial and ethnic flow of people into this country.
Jim, that is one of the most outrageous, insulting, ignorant, and foolish things you've ever said.
And for you, that's still a really the notion that you think that this is a racist bill is so wrong and so insulting.
Jim.
Wow.
We called it last week when that happened.
CNN Fake News, Jim Acosta, has basically been on a war against the White House from day one.
Clearly not an objective news reporter and part of the destroy Trump media and the propaganda media.
And I think he got an education from our friend Steve Miller.
I don't even, what is your position at the White House?
I don't even, I guess you're the senior advisor to the president.
Yes, that's right, Sean.
How are you?
I'm doing great.
Thanks for having me on the program.
And I look forward to talking a little bit about what President Trump is going to do today to make an immigration system that works for Americans.
Yeah.
Well, I want to ask, first of all, that was on the immigration issue, but it's not just that.
Have you ever seen such hostility towards a single president in your lifetime by the news media, which I think is so abusively biased and corrupt?
No.
And I'll also make this point, Sean, which is that, and your audience understands this well, which is that the wrong term to use, in my view, is the mainstream media.
Because, Sean, you're mainstream.
I'm mainstream.
President Trump is mainstream.
They're real mainstream American values.
Strong borders, a strong national defense, a limited government that stays within its means, abiding by the Constitution.
What you saw at that press briefing was actually an extremist point of view, the point of view that basically says that you can't have strong border controls in the United States of America.
You can't set limits.
You can't prioritize the needs of American workers.
And so you have a movement inside elements of the media that is openly hostile, not only to the president, but to the ideas and views that animated millions and millions of American citizens to come out and vote in the last election.
Well, you know, when I talk about the president, I think the president has a strong identity and agenda for the country to solve our problems.
And this is my biggest criticism of Republicans right now.
We know the president is willing to sign a repeal-replace bill, unlike the phony show votes that we had all the years Obama was president.
I know that the president wants a middle-class tax cut.
He wants a corporate tax cut of 15%.
He wants repatriation.
I know the president wants energy independence.
I know the president believes in health savings accounts and solutions.
He wants to build the wall.
He wants education back to the states.
We know where he stands on vetting refugees and identifying evil in our time radical Islam.
Now, for seven and a half years, Stephen Miller, the Republicans promised to do all of these things.
And they were ill-prepared to lead.
And I don't see any identity.
What do they stand for in the House and Senate?
You know, what are they hearing now when they go back home?
I have a pretty good idea that the people aren't happy with them.
Well, Sean, I think the point that you made is so important, which is that the president has an agenda for America, and we know what it is.
And now we need Congress to implement that agenda.
What we've done already on the administrative side and what we've done already on the executive side has been a sea change.
But Congress needs to step up and repeal and replace Obamacare.
Congress needs to work with us to pass a middle-class tax cut and corporate tax reform.
It needs to work with us to get control over our borders and our refugee programs and our vetting policies.
They need to work with us to get regulatory relief and reform where we've already done historic things in a short period of time.
This is the agenda that the American people voted for, whether they're Democrat, Independent, or Republican.
It's the right agenda for our country, and it's an agenda rooted in our history and our values as a nation.
You know, if these simple things, I watched the president very closely on his most recent speeches that he gives, or the town halls, or I guess really their stadium speeches, and you see the overflow crowds, and you see the intensity and the applause and the energy that the president brings to these issues.
And then I'm thinking, okay, are the Republicans not watching the reaction that the president is getting to the things that he's saying?
And do they really think if they don't get their job done that there are not going to be consequences for them not keeping their promises?
Look, I think that no matter what party you're in, that the American people need to make sure that they are communicating to their members of Congress what they expect to be done this year and for the years to come.
This country needs corporate tax reform.
It needs a middle-class tax cut.
It needs to strengthen immigration enforcement and vetting into our country.
We need to repeal and replace Obamacare and end the Obamacare catastrophe.
And we need to create a leaner, smaller government that lives within its means and that prioritizes the defense and protection of our country.
Let me ask what happens.
I know Congress is on vacation again, and it's amazing.
And I spoke to somebody in the White House.
I heard the president's not on vacation.
And actually, the president was tweeting out all the work he's doing.
So is he not taking a vacation right now, as is reported?
Well, I think the good way to look at it is the president of the United States is really never on vacation.
I mean, every day the president, whoever the president is, is always involved in governing the affairs of the nation.
But this president in particular is always deeply engaged and invested in everything that is going on and everything that's happening.
And I think you'll be seeing some of what he's doing in the coming days in terms of different events and activities.
Well, I think that at the end of the day, I think that Congress What would you say they ought to do on health care when they get back?
Because I know the president for his economic plan counted on a trillion dollars in savings on repealing and replacing Obamacare.
So does that hurt the ability of the president to do the type of economic reform that he wanted to jumpstart this economy?
Well, I'll just refer to what the president said when he was in West Virginia, and you were talking about the overflow crowds, the enormous enthusiasm, the incredible excitement about the president and what he's leading on.
And he said in that speech, Congress needs to keep its promises, fulfill its commitments, live up to its word, and get this across the finish line.
They were one vote short, one vote shy, and they need to keep working on it and to get the job done and keep their promises to the American people.
Well, I think it's a basic, simple, fundamental issue.
What does this Republican Party stand for?
And is this Republican Party going to keep their promises?
And I find there's a lot of hostility within the Republican Party, you know, over issues, all issues involving President Trump.
And I'm sitting there thinking, oh, I thought you wanted this for the last seven and a half years.
I know you've voted for it 60 times.
It's just frustrating.
Let me play a little bit more about you.
I know we played you with Jim Acosta.
How did you feel after that exchange?
Did you get a lot of positive email?
Well, I was very grateful.
I did get a lot of very nice comments from a lot of people.
And of course, it's not about me.
It's about President Trump, what he's doing for the country.
But I think that people were excited because the media was confronted with cold, hard facts, just facts, information, the truth.
And it was basically an environment where they were not allowed to get away with spin.
Do you think the media is there's a lot of fake news today because I believe there is and I believe the media is basically one big group thing, the mainstream media.
Well, there's obviously an enormous amount of groupthink that goes on in the media, but also one of the ways in which the media's bias is most apparent is by what they talk about and what they don't talk about.
So, for example, you know, staying on the subject of immigration, they will tell the story of what they regard as being an sympathetic case of a particular illegal immigrant and whatever they think that illegal immigrant is facing.
But they don't tell the stories of the American families that have lost loved ones to sanctuary cities and illegal immigrants, or the American workers that have lost jobs to illegal immigrants, or the American schools that have been affected by years of illegal immigration.
They don't tell the story from the perspective of the American citizen and the American family.
Well, I think that, you know, the people that changed this election were the forgotten men and women in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, Missouri, and all around the country.
Some 50 million of them out of work, in poverty, on food stamps, and can't getting jobs.
They can't get jobs.
Exactly.
And they said this year, America, Washington, D.C., and indeed the world will hear our voice.
Well, so I know that they're waiting.
Explain the difference what the president's been able to do on his own versus what he needs Congress to help with.
That's a great question.
I mean, if you look at it.
By the way, I love when you tell me that's a great question.
Go ahead.
If you look at what we've done administratively, it's been historic.
For every one new regulation, 16 have been eliminated.
I've talked to people in the regulatory community.
No one's ever seen anything like it before.
To the extent in which we came in, we froze new regulation, and we started taking the act to old regulations, small and large, including some very big ones.
You know, we ended the moratorium on coal leasing.
We took action on the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan and the Waters of the United States rule, which is something that's very negative for our farmers and ranchers, and on and on it goes.
You've seen the progress we've made on border security and going after the criminal gangs and cartels and the MS-13.
You've seen what we've done in terms of beginning to improve law enforcement, like at the Justice Department, putting in new tough-on-crime policies to get some of the to reverse, hopefully, the surge in violent crime we've seen in recent years.
And what we've done on American energy, obviously, has been amazing.
Coal exports are up 60%.
This is because of a president who is led and led every day relentlessly.
And we have also made major, major changes at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
And this is true.
We have signed into law several major veterans bills built on veterans' choice and also veterans' accountability to fire bad federal workers who fail our veterans.
But what do we need from Congress?
We need to repeal and replace Obamacare.
We're going to work with them on middle-class tax cuts and corporate tax reform to make America the best place in the world to hire workers, start a business, grow, and invest and move capital.
We're obviously going to need Congress to work with us on infrastructure.
We're going to need Congress to work with us to hire more ICE officers to keep our communities safe, to build a border wall to keep our country safe, to make long-term improvements to our immigration system like the ones the president unveiled last week to protect our workers and our wage earners.
And so these are all things where we're going to need Congress to step up.
It's not a Republican issue.
It's not a Democrat issue.
These are core American issues about taking care of our country and our people and their future.
All right.
Stephen Miller of the White House, he is a senior advisor to the president.
Thanks for being with us.
job last week.
And we've got to take a break here.
As a candidate, I campaigned on creating a merit-based immigration system that protects U.S. workers and taxpayers.
And that is why we are here today, merit-based.
The RAISE Act, R-A-I-S-E, the RAISE Act, will reduce poverty, increase wages, and save taxpayers billions and billions of dollars.
It will do this by changing the way the United States issues green cards to nationals from other countries.
Green cards provide permanent residency, work authorization, and fast track to citizenship.
For decades, the United States was operated and has operated a very low-skilled immigration system, issuing record numbers of green cards to low-wage immigrants.
This policy has placed substantial pressure on American workers, taxpayers, and community resources.
Among those hit the hardest in recent years have been immigrants and very importantly, minority workers competing for jobs against brand new arrivals.
And it has not been fair to our people, to our citizens, to our workers.
Let's also use common sense here, folks.
At the end of the day, why do special interests want to bring in more low-skilled workers?
And why historically...
I'm not asking for common sense.
I'm asking for specific students.
Well, I think it's very clear, Glenn that you're not asking for common sense.
But if I could just answer, if I could answer your question, I named the studies, Glenn.
Glen, Glenn.
Glenn.
I named the studies.
I named the studies.
I asked you for a statistic.
Can you tell me how many?
Maybe we'll make a carve-out in the bill that says the New York Times can hire all the low-skilled, less-paid workers they want from other countries and see how you feel then about low-wage substitution.
This is a reality that's happening in our country.
Maybe it's time we had compassion, Glenn, for American workers.
President Trump has met with American workers who've been replaced by foreign workers and ask them, ask them how this is affecting their lives.
Thank God between Gorka Kellyanne and Stephen Miller, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
I mean, they're all fighting back now.
And it's refreshing because these guys in the news media, they can't win because they're exposed as being so extraordinarily biased.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
Anyway, 800-941-Sean is our toll-free telephone number.
You want to be a part of the program.
All right.
Rod Rosenstein, two-tiered justice system.
When are we going to have special counsels to investigate real crimes?
We'll get to that.
We got Jay Seculo on tonight.
We got Greg Jarrett, Larry Elder tonight.
We'll have the latest on Loretta Lynch's email alias tonight.
10 Eastern, Hannity, Fox News.
And we'll take a quick break.
We'll come back.
Don't forget to set your DVR.
Big opening monologue tonight.
Hope you will tape it and send it to your liberal friends.
And we'll continue.
We want the truth, and we're gonna get it.
What happened with Uranium One?
33,000 Hillary emails gone by using BleachBit.
What about Susan Rice, Ben Rhodes, Samantha Power?
All unmasking innocent people.
And don't forget Loretta Lynch and her tarmac meeting.
Was it a cover-up?
Her instruction to James Comey, just call it a matter.
Then there's Comey, leaking classified information to the New York Times.
We won't stop until we get the answers, and we'll bring them right to you.
Sean Annity is on right now.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour.
There's the voice of God.
All right, why don't you play?
Now, Linda's on vacation this week, and I can't believe I actually made her go on vacation, true or false.
I made her go on vacation, and it was a big, big, she doesn't want, she thinks we can't survive a week without her, right?
True or false, Sunshine.
It's very true.
Yeah, all right.
So she wouldn't be entirely wrong.
What?
It's tough without her.
All right, she's not here.
You don't need to suck up to her when she's not here.
Although she's probably on a beach somewhere just listening anyway, which is just like not being on vacation.
You know what I don't do on vacation?
I don't listen to my show, and I don't watch my show.
When I'm on vacation, I try to shut down and I'll tweet for the first three days because I'm absolutely insane and can't get away from it.
But then slowly I begin to decompress and become a normal person again.
I can't wait to send you on a detox, a Twitter detox where you're not going to be able to do it.
I've not been tweeting lately.
You know why?
Because I'm working so hard on all my stuff.
I just don't have time.
And I'll be honest, it gets old after a while.
I mean, yeah, at some point I'll get engaged again to attack, you know, Liberal Joe or somebody like that.
But I actually, it's so repetitive.
It's like me against the world.
Okay, good luck.
And that's what it is pretty much every day.
And I'm like, all right, it's getting a little old at some point.
And I really want to focus in on, I'm so engaged in reporting what other people don't do.
In other words, with the big stories they're missing.
So you told me that Linda left a message for me.
She's so uptight about going on vacation that she had to leave a message.
Let's play it.
What is it?
Okay, Sean, I'm not here this week, but I expect you to be very, very nice to my team and understand myself.
My team is my show.
As fast as she can possibly work and as fast as she needs to.
And that Jason and Ethan are doing everything they're supposed to.
So leave them alone and be nice because I'll be back in a week to kick your ass if you're not.
Oh, that's what I, oh, my team.
Excuse me.
You all, while she's gone, just so you know, I know she has your back when you mess up.
And, all right, who did this ridiculous thing?
I'll ask.
And she'll say, don't worry about it.
I'll handle it.
Don't worry about it.
And I have to sit there for an hour to try and pull teeth out of her.
Yeah, but you know that's good leadership skills.
No, it's annoying leadership skills.
And the fact that I've empowered her to, because you all suck up to her.
You don't feel any need to suck up to me.
Meanwhile, I'm the person that can fire all of you.
You're so amazing, Sean.
Thank you.
Oh, so you're going to suck up to me just for this week only.
Okay.
That's today.
Well, Linda's gone all week.
You have, you don't have mom in there to protect you all.
Did you not hear the echo in the background?
She's in heaven.
It's the voice of God.
I got what I got it.
The relationship with God's a little iffy these days, okay?
What is that?
All right, seriously?
No, I'm just saying that all have sinned, Mr. Wonderful back there, and Mr. Perfect Coyote Ugly attender there.
Be nice.
Stop you.
Yeah.
I'm going to have to hear this all week.
She's watching.
Okay, I don't care.
It's still the Sean Hannity show, and I'm still your boss.
You know what the problem is?
I don't bother you people.
I leave you all alone to do your job every day, and I have confidence in your ability.
If I had to start directing everybody that works for me on how to do their job every day, I'd go nuts.
I'm busy doing my job.
That shows how good your team is.
I 100% agree.
And by the way, didn't everybody get nice extra bonuses this year?
Yes.
Very generous.
Yes, they are.
They are well deserved, I would say.
You know, I'm going to take yours back.
I want a refund on that ball.
I can't really do.
I try to do something nice.
Well deserved, by the way.
First of all.
Oh, my God.
What do we have?
All of these things now?
We got some things.
We got some things in the can, okay?
Okay.
All right.
Any other one?
Play one more.
Go ahead.
What else you got?
Break, break, break, break, break.
The most annoying thing that I'm not going to miss this week is her screaming in my ear.
Break!
You're going to have me doing that.
No, you better not.
Just because she's gone doesn't mean you're her.
I'm going to channel my inner Lindsay.
My inn and Sean.
Sean, first of all.
Boos.
Boss.
First of all.
There we go.
See, I can't get away from it.
It's like I'm being tortured from beyond.
I'm being tortured.
I thought a week of, you know, all right, well, I'm actually, you know, going to be able to boss everybody around for the week.
You know what's funny?
I never call you once a day, do I?
I never tell you how to do your job, do I, Sunshine?
Well, except for when you tell me to hurry up.
Yeah, well, occasionally you're.
When I don't need to hurry up at all.
Linda just says.
Linda is a little bit faster than you, but you're great.
You are great.
You've been amazing today.
Boy, wait till your printer blows up.
Jason, that'll be ugly.
Don't jinx it.
Short of me saying, can you please, if you don't have this cut, can you make sure you have it?
Short of that, do I ever say anything to you?
Ever.
No, you still don't know where my office is, but I don't mind because you don't bother me at all.
I don't go in your office.
I don't even go in my office.
I come right to the studio office.
I don't even go on my own.
I don't even know what my office looks like anymore.
Ethan, do I ever write you and say, except, hey, did you see this cut?
Did you see this?
No.
I deal with Linda, and on TV, I deal with Porter and Tiffany.
And that's it.
Just remember, Linda says I'm working as fast as I can, and I'm working at the speed that I need to work at to get stuff done for you.
All right, let's get back to our phones here.
Let's go to Dallas Allison next on the Sean Hannity show.
Is this for you, this internal squabbling among my team?
Or if it does, I won't do it anymore.
Oh, I love it.
You do like it.
You know, I love it.
Wouldn't you like a boss?
I'm still at home.
Wouldn't you like a boss that never bothered you, never told you what to do, and you just do your job on your own, and I say great things, and I just say, great job.
There you go.
Isn't that the perfect boss?
I don't want to be told what to do by my bosses, and I do my job.
There you go.
Thank you.
Sounds good.
Yeah, it's all working.
And I love you.
That's that internal love.
Well, I buy them lunch every day so they don't.
You want to know the real secret behind buying lunch?
They can get anything they want.
They get sushi.
They can get anything they want.
They can get a steak.
I don't care.
But the key.
Is there an opening?
You can eat whatever you want for lunch.
You know what the key is?
If I buy them lunch, because we don't have time for lunch here.
We're not like Congress.
We're all busy up until the second we go on the air.
So we've got a sense of urgency.
So if I have food delivered, which you can have anything delivered in New York, then nobody has to leave their desk and they keep working while they're eating.
I don't even eat.
So, I mean, it's who I don't have time for lunch.
Does that make sense?
You can work for me.
Yes.
Okay.
I'm done ranting.
Your turn.
So I had this crazy notion.
I love your passion and your truth seeking for us.
So I had this crazy notion to switch Congress to VA healthcare system.
So they get the same treatment as our vets and they have the incentive to fix the VA a little bit.
Well, they did.
I mean, that was one of the presidents, so far, one of his big successes.
I mean, and they put in process.
I've actually talked to a couple of people that work on VA issues, and they said it's absolutely beginning to work.
They don't have the corruption that once existed where, you know, people that needed care immediately, you know, were called after they were dead a year later to come in for the help they requested.
And that these vets are now getting the option of going to any hospital they need to get the care they need if they can't get it immediately from the VA.
Finally, we're doing one thing right for our vets.
I agree.
But I just thought it would be great to put Congress over there too, let them see how it feels.
Then at least they can remove this special ACA subsidy from them.
Well, yeah, I know what you're saying.
Listen, I'm just saying this.
How about Congress until they get their job done?
How about they've got to live under Obamacare?
Do you know, I'm going to tell you one.
Do you know Louis Gomert never, ever, ever went on Obamacare and went now the last couple of years with no insurance?
Louis Gomert's so rooted in his presence.
And Louis Gomert, you know where he sleeps in Washington?
He sleeps in his office because he doesn't have enough to pay for two homes.
And by the way, there's like 40 congressmen that sleep in their office because they can't afford an apartment because they got families and they got expenses and they got one home there and they can't afford it and they truly want to serve, which I think is very admirable.
All right.
Anyway, Allison, I'm glad.
So you sure we're okay?
Yeah.
All right.
I don't need the audience getting mad at me.
Everybody else is mad at me.
I've got every liberal in the country mad at me.
Well, we love you.
We think you're amazing and awesome and just the best person on the planet.
How long is Linda away for?
I mean, how long are we going to be?
She's not away.
She's always here.
She's not always here.
Be nice.
I am nice.
Stop being mean.
I am not mean.
Why would you say that?
Rich in Myrtle Beach in beautiful South Carolina.
What's happening, Rich?
I've been to now, but how are you, Sean?
I'm good, sir.
What's going on?
Well, you know, after listening to Laura this morning and finding out that this knucklehead in North Carolina, who's supposedly a Republican, Tom Tillis, is putting forth legislation to protect Special Prosecutor Mueller, I called him up and gave him an earful this morning.
It is not Congress's job to get involved with executive branch employees, whether they're getting fired or hired.
You know, the man who's at the top of the executive branch is a president, and I'm sick of Congress getting involved in everything outside of what Congress is supposed to be doing, and I'd like to see Congress living on health plans like the rest of us.
They should take all that stuff away from them.
How about they don't get paid until they do their job?
How about no more vacations till they do their job?
You know, Tom Tillis is getting about a 29% approval rating.
That means something like 71% of the people either don't know who he is or don't like him.
You know, I honestly don't understand some of these Republicans.
And, you know, this is the great irony of what they're doing and how they're acting.
There was an article on Drudge today back home.
Paul Ryan can't escape questions about Republican train wreck.
Steve Forbes don't raise taxes on the wealthy.
I guarantee you, but for the Freedom Caucus and a couple of good senators like, you know, Ted and Rand and a couple others, I'll be honest, I think these guys are going to get an earful.
Well, I also told them, Sean, that I'll be sending my money from South Carolina to North Carolina to help any primary challenge.
And believe me, I gave Lindsey Graham's office an earful this morning as well because I told him, number one, that legislation Tom Tillis is trying to put forth is unconstitutional.
You ought to go back to law school.
And number two, I'm sick of Congress getting involved in everything outside of what they're supposed to be doing, which is Congress.
I also told him you had seven and a half years to come up with some kind of a health care plan.
And just like a high school kid, you waited until Sunday night to do your Monday morning homework.
It was so poorly thought out.
No strategy, no plan, no orchestration, no consensus building, you know, done behind closed doors, dumped on the caucus in the House, dumped on the caucus in the Senate, and it ends up failing, and John McCain is the happiest guy in the world.
Lisa Murkowski is the happiest woman in the world.
They think they, I was watching Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins on an interview this weekend, and they think they're the champions of the American people, and they did what's best for their state.
This isn't the best thing for the people of Alaska.
You know, one last thing, Sean, before I go is I also mentioned to them that I come from the land of New York, a socialist state led by Chuck Schumer.
He's the number one reason we left New York State, okay?
No matter how bad it got for the Democrats, they never broke rank.
But as soon as something happens and Donald Trump gets elected, now every Republican is an independent thinker.
We're thinking independently.
I want my Republicans to get behind every single thing my president puts forth.
No excuses, just get in line and do whatever he says and do exactly what the Democrats say.
Hey, I'll say I'll tell you this.
This president has an agenda.
This president has an identity.
Everybody in this audience can recite where he stands on the borders, where he stands on radical Islam, where he stands on vetting refugees, where he stands on repeal replace, where he stands on the economy, corporate tax cuts, middle class tax cuts, repatriation, where he stands on energy independence, where he stands on foreign policy issues.
Tell me this: what do the Republicans stand for?
I keep saying they don't have an identity.
The biggest, the most infuriating thing to me over this healthcare debacle is for all of these years, we have discussed alternatives and options, frankly, ad nauseum about health savings accounts, healthcare cooperatives, about how to have free market competition, about portability, about pre-existing conditions, about answers and solutions to all of those problems.

Immigration, secure the borders, dealing with radical Islamists, identifying evil in our time.
You know, we've talked about it, talked about it, talked about it, and you would think that what I'm saying, you know, I recently, a friend of mine had a lunch or a drink with Senator Graham.
And Senator Graham asked about me and said, does he really believe everything he says?
And I'm sitting there, I'm like, yeah, he does.
Yes, he does.
Yes, I wouldn't say it every day if I didn't.
My question back to him: do you believe anything you say?
Are you willing to fight for the things that you promised your constituents?
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
Let not your heart be troubled.
