tv   Hannity  FOX News  October 8, 2019 6:00pm-7:00pm PDT

6:00 pm
once again we encouraging you to dvr it if you can figure that out. godspeed. in the meantime, good night from washington but don't despair. we have great news live from new york city comes the man at the helm of 9:00 p.m., sean hannity. there he is. >> sean: that might've been live from new york and saturday. all right sucker, great show as always. welcome to use "hannity" barely begins begin tonight with a fox news alert. we are now tracking major breaking stories including a bombshell developing from the department of justice. fox news now reporting that the barr investigation into the origins of the russia wish hon is expanding. fox's reporting it is our chemical, mr. jerome has expanded his investigation and is adding agency resources, one of the multiple administration officials. the time i know has grown from the beginning of the probe through the election and now includes a postelection timeline through the spring of 2017 up
6:01 pm
until when robert mueller was named the special counsel. as we have are supported on the show, jerome and barr have spoken with multiple officials from the u.k., austria, even traveled to italy all in an effort to determine the most powerful in tools of intelligence were used against our own citizens. of course to circumvent american laws and that constitutional protection paid by the way, thae like fisa abuse, premeditated the rod, one of the saddest things from my sources tonight, they are worried about if they will get a conviction in d.c. that shouldn't matter. the law is the law. was it verified or not verified? we will have answers to a lot of these questions coming. did officials circumvent u.s. law outsourced surveillance and the other sense on americans to allied's by the agencies? in other words, you do this for us and in this way we are innocent. the trump campaign, where they
6:02 pm
targeted by our own government agencies to bolster hillary clinton and hurt donald trump? why was mueller appointed in the first place? according to another fox sports tonight, mueller was in fact pursuing the acting fbi director when he was pursuing donald trump in 2016. he didn't get that position and just a short time later he was investigating the president who passed him over for a job. that would raise serious conflict of interest concerns not to mention close relationship with the man that trump fired, mr. super patriot, jim comey. by the way, the horowitz investigation uncover about all of this and many others who willfully committed fraud against the fisa court? imagine if any of you could committed a premeditated front of court. you signed a document in an application for a warrant, take away the rights of an american citizen, you can spy on the
6:03 pm
campaign, and his later transition team and then later that the presidency. let's play this game at home. do you think you would get away with any of that? you know you didn't verify it, that's premeditated fraud under court. then when you know that you lied to the court, supposed to go back and tell them. i just have a funny feeling that if it happens to anyone in his audience you would have a predawn rate like amanda ford and roger stone and i've been saying this for a while but what we witnessed in 2016 from our government, biggest abuse of power, corruption, scandal and our history. the truth is going to come out. the big question i have tonight, will they hold their own accountable? i've sources telling me tonight they might be afraid to do that. with the full report on all of this is our very own catherine herridge tonight. >> good evening. senior administration official confirms fox news the investigation into the genesis of the transiting fbi russia collusion case is expanding based on the findings of u.s.
6:04 pm
attorney john duren. appointed by attorney general william barr in may, the investigation now has global reach with durum recently traveling to britain and italy to pursue surveillance leads as well as working with australian authorities. the investigation also adding more agents, more resources for an expanded timeline which now stretches from the spring of 2016 to may 2017 when the president fired fbi director james comey and then deputy attorney general rod rosenstein appointed special counsel robert mueller. based on my two decades covering intelligence and law enforcement, the expanded durham probe indicates he found evidence that likely points to criminal wrongdoing by reputation. he is not a prosecutor to ask for more help. separately in administration officials tell fox news there is new scrutiny of the mueller appointment. coordination between rosenstein and mueller in the days before the announcement as well as allegations rosenstein offered to wear a wire and secretly require the president which he is publicly denying.
6:05 pm
multiple administration officials told fox news that when mueller with the met with the president on may 2816, indeed pursuing the post left open by the firing of call me a week earlier and they say newly released records back up the white house account. during the congressional testimony on the russia pro, he said he was not applying as fbi director. he was offering input on the required skills. >> sean: catherine herridge in washington tonight. thank you. also tonight, we aren't no longer going to refer to the political witch hunt. the latest witch hunt on capitol hill as any real type of impeachment inquiry. it is just the latest attempt at skill as a duly elected president by we the people. over misconduct that does not exist yet again. let us be clear. they never accepted the 2016 election results, they never accept and forgo separate investigations. no russia collusion. that instead was a coup attempt. it so now they want from one fishing expedition to another
6:06 pm
fishing expedition. russia russia russia. that coup attempts. then it was a tax return coup attempts and it was a stormy stormy coup attempt. now it's at the ukraine coup attempt. that's all this is. they cannot accept the will of the people. insane obsessive-compulsive psychotic witch hunts rooted in rage and lack of connection to reality that they lost. same goal, let's impeach them and we have a lot of ways we can impeach him nancy pelosi says. they have been plotting impeachment of this president from the very beginning. the moment he was elected. we will remind you. >> if he takes the lead at the risk and he is convicted i could be seen as an impeachable offense. >> i don't see where that would be an impeachable offense. >> and official impeachment inquiry --
6:07 pm
>> impeachment warrant. >> new elements on the impeachment inquiry. >> impeachable. >> we are introducing articles of impeachment. >> impeachment. >> the i word, impeachment. >> the i word impeachment. >> impeachment. >> sean: there they are. it started two days after the president's election and his story that we see over ukraine
6:08 pm
is just the latest coup attempt. the latest chapter in what has been three long years of lies, conspiracy theories, to take down a president that they never wanted elected in the first place and did everything they could do to prevent them from winning. also breaking moments ago, white house counsel has issued a letter to house democrats formally announcing the trump administration will not cooperate with the unconstitutional invalid baseless inquiry because of the rico distinct issues. first, it's constitutionally invalid. violates separation of powers. there has no vote of authorizing this witch hunt inquiry and that means no due process. no ability for the president's lawyers to cross-examine witnesses. knowability of the lawyer to call witnesses. no ability to enter evidence into the record. instead all we got was a press conference from gas, speaker and name only, nancy pelosi and
6:09 pm
icarly shifty adam schiff. this is unprecedented and unconstitutional. the impeachment inquiry plainly seeks to reverse the election of 2016 and to influence the election of 2020 and according to the white house counsel, the an effort to impeach trump without regard to any of his efforts in the house perhaps before. i would argue before. impeachment is never to be used as a political weapon only as a check against treason, bribery, high crimes, misdemeanors. that brings us to the third issue that is raised by the white house counsel. quote, there is no legitimate basis for your impeachment inquiry. instead of the committee's actions, they raise serious concerns. that would be like the cowardly adam schiff making up something in a transcript that didn't exist where they announce the impeachment hearing where we
6:10 pm
have a variety of options and no quid pro quo there. democrats clean the inquiry is about so called a whistle-blower or nonwhistle-blower or account of a phone call between president trump and the president of ukraine. while the inquiry was announced before democrats even saw the transcript of the call or did they? can. what did schiff know and when did he know it? he now is the lead investigator running this committee pretty would be a material fact witness in this case wouldn't he? that would then cause him to have to recuse himself. by the way, that was a perfectly appropriate conversation with the president. we have the transcript. no need for nonwhistle-blower whistle-blowers. and the government via grants of the tall was totally appropriate. the u.s. to primitive justice of the call was appropriate. u.s. ambassador to the european union said the president did nothing wrong. the special envoy to ukraine, kurt volker, testified under oath behind closed doors. no quid pro quo. no misconduct. no nothing. let's not forget the transcript
6:11 pm
has been released as everybody to see. we don't need a nonwhistle-blower whistle-blowers account and they their feelings and political event on any of this. here's what congressman lee zeldin how to say about this very issue earlier today. let's take a look. >> maybe you should ask what was said inside of volker's deposition. during his transcribed interview with regards to adam schiff's very detailed quid pro quo charge that aids from the united states to ukraine was being linked to an investigation from the bite and spread why don't you ask what he said about that? that's a great question but i'm glad you asked and i will tell you the reason why the question was so important for you to ask is for many things because he was in this room for several hours and during several hours of testimony, he talked about how president zelensky had no idea that there was a hold on aid at the time of the july 25th call. investor volker just avoid about how the readout of the call was
6:12 pm
made to him how there was nothing to read out there being a hold on u.s. aid or a print quid pro quo. by the way, he testified to this entire time the aid getting released. it was going to get released. guess what happens? the aid got released and you know what didn't have to happen? there was no new investigation that had to get creative. this whole thing is a fairy tale. adam schiff is misleading you and you are playing along with it. what adam schiff said for example that president trump was asking president zelinski to manufacture dirt on the bidens. president volker testified to that being absolutely untrue. >> sean: for weeks the cowardly lying adam schiff wanted you to believe that president trump threaten to withhold u.s. aid to ukraine if he didn't investigate sleepy creepy crazy uncle joe and his sons shady ukrainian business deals and for weeks the media
6:13 pm
mob breathlessly reporting about trump ukraine quid pro quo and yet again it was a big giant hoax and another lie and another conspiracy theory. three long years. at one witch hunt after another. one coup attempt after another. tonight we have brand-new evidence proving beyond any shadow of a doubt that the last hysteria is once again built on another bout of lies. investigate wrote reporter john solomon it has acquired documentation showing that a new investigation was opened by the country's prosecutor general for months before the phone call with our president and the ukrainian president zelinski under ukraine's prior president and that's not all. john solomon reporting also tonight one focal point of the investigation was whether any of the $3.4 million in proceeds that buries my holdings paying the bidens came from illicit
6:14 pm
sources. this happened months before the phone call in question which is by the way huge but even more. we have brand-new details about the nonwhistle-blower whistle-blower. byron york reporting tonight. here she had a professional tied to a 2020 democratic candidate which means that he or she works with or for one of the democrats that is running against tromp. that would be a conflict of interest especially when the giving hearsay evidence in the first place. let's recap. nonwhistle-blower whistle-blower. registered democrat. clear political bias. professional relationship with one of the 2020 democrats who want to be tromp. complete based on hearsay not first-hand knowledge and also media reports. doesn't even matter what the complaint claims because as we know now to the transcript, what was said and what wasn't said don't we? by the way, the call in question shows no quid pro quo.
6:15 pm
nothing. no funds were withheld from ukraine. ukrainian officials didn't even know the president was considering delaying aid at the time of the call. but then you have the cowardly adam schiff, known congenital liar, then you have nancy pelosi come another liar who lost all control over her party in the house. they want to boot and duly elected president from office for nothing. what? a coup and an attempt that every democrat must go on record about. any so-called, by the way, these so-called moderates, in other words, the democrats that live in districts that donald trump won in 2016, they don't speak out against this unconstitutional attempted coup and witch hunt. they would be complicit in what is an illegal attempt to override the will of the american voter. now there is real corruption and government abuse of power and a quid pro quo we actually have on
6:16 pm
tape. that would be joe biden and the country of ukraine because as the media mob tries to ignore that brewing scandal, senator lindsey graham is now inviting the you new york senator rudy giuliani to testify before congress about his lengthy investigation. don't forget, learn from politico. what do we learn? ukraine was helping hillary and they were involved in the interference of the election of 2016. and joe shut down ukraine is that you have six hours and you fire that prosecutor or i'm taking my billion dollars, our billion dollars, the american people's billion dollars, and i'm going home. you are not going to get it. holy wow. they fired him. he bragged about it. it was more on this new braking report, brand-new, by the way, starting tonight, you can officially announce investigative reporter and a fox news contributor, john solomon, welcome to the family. it's been a long time coming.
6:17 pm
>> yes thank you so much. it's great to be joining you guys officially. sean i think you headed on the head right from the beginning. i can confirm to you tonight that the u.s. government had open source intelligence and was aware as early as february of 2019 that the ukrainian government was planning to reopen the breeze my investigation. this is a long before the president imagine having a call with president zelensky. this is a significant shift in the factual timeline. this was information that was in omitted from the whistle-blower's complaint or let me tell you what we learned to him today. the u.s. government was aware of the open source in february that now do,, and sba like agency in ukraine that was started by joe biden, they requested a reopening of the investigation into burisma in unusual transactions in the burisma
6:18 pm
accounts in february of 2019. on march 28th 2019, the general prosecutor's office agreed to that request to open an investigation and they filed a 15 page notice of suspicion alleging that there may be illicit funds that were running through burisma from 2020 and all the way through 2015. that's important. hunter biden is on the board for two of those years. specifically that notice of suspicion said that they were looking at the possibility that the $3.4 million paid to hunter biden's forearm may have been part of illicit funds that were moving through the company. a month later in april, the prosecutor's office open source intelligence, confirming they were aware of this, made a request of another agency en route ukraine for assistance in going through these bank records. that's a significant change in the timeline. it was omitted from the whistle-blower's complaint and the question is, did he not know it or did he excluded because it didn't fit the narrative he was
6:19 pm
trying to write? that's a question for congress to answer. >> sean: it's funny because we have biden on tape don't we? we know the money -- i would like to know what exactly -- but i guess hunter biden is 49 years old. he's not a kid. this is multimillion dollars that we are talking about. can we get answers as to what exactly he did with no expertise in ukraine and oil or gas or energy just like there is no back on we can find with him in china or private equity and that was a lot more money according to peter schweizer who joined us tonight? 1.5 billion. so how is it that it's on tape that he's bragging about a shakedown using taxpayer money leverage and getting what he wanted to? the prosecutor fired and the prosecutors died signed an affidavit did he not under threat of perjury that in fact e was fired because of biden, because of that six-hour threat and the threat of withdrawing
6:20 pm
american dollars and loan guarantee is? >> that's right. there is another oddity that comes out of record today. you can go back and put us on the screen. these are big records from hunter biden's firm and if you remember hunter abiding saying he was getting paid a $50,000 a month. the fbi raided the office and bank records in an unrelated case in 2015. they sew transfers of $166,000 a month and as high as $220,000 in one month going into hunter biden and devon archer's firm. that's a lot more than $50,000 and it was one of those things that heat ukrainian prosecutor's interest in reopening the case in march of 2019. the size of the money was much larger than they had been saying. we will must go back and we have the affidavit of this prosecuto. we have multiple -- there is no explanation. how is it that the mauled and
6:21 pm
the media -- you have your quid pro quo here. you have your illegal actions here. how do they ignore that part of the story and say it's a conspiracy theory and as joe biden very defensively keep saying, there is nothing to the story, nothing to the story. well, there really is a lot to the story. >> the media is stuck on one thing which is that the united states government under biden's control and its allies in western europe were claiming for some time that it was corrupt and therefore he should be removed. even if that were the case, joe biden should have refuted himself under the u.s. ethics law. let's go back to some documents we talked about on your show two weeks ago. hunter biden's own american legal team, when they first meet with the prosecutor after joe biden fires a joke and there's a new guy put in place, they immediately tell him, there was a dirty tricks campaign. there was a false information campaign run to make show can look like he was corrupt so that
6:22 pm
they could get him out of there. that ought to be investigated. who knows what the truth is until we dig in but the idea that the media hasn't sunk into one theory of the case without looking into other facts, they are not doing their job. there's a lot of facts to run against the current narratives that adam schiff and joe biden and the whistle-blower aren't telling and we need to get those facts on the table and examine them fairly before we make any conclusions. spew one last question i keep hearing the ig reports going to be devastating but that i'm hearing on the other hand there's a lot of considerations about whether they can get a conviction. what they will do is they will embarrass everybody and what i'm thinking, well, either there's premeditated fraud on the fisa court, which we know happened, we know they lied, we know the statute also demands that when they find out the truth to go back to the court and tell them the truth. that never happened. it is at the swamp protecting the swamp? is that the likely outcome in this john sullivan? >> i think we need to wait and
6:23 pm
see. we saw the expansion of the drum investigation. let's see what happens. i've always said that i think it was going to be a hard case for the justice department to prosecute and i still think that. >> sean: that means anybody in his audience will be able to bring false information, they know that it's false, they swear that it's true, and get a warrant to take away the rights of an american citizen, spy on a presidential candidate, and you don't get indicted for that? >> i hope that isn't true. i hope there is accountability but let's first see the facts before we make any conclusions. i always want to rest on the facts. spewing we already know the facts. don't we know it was pfizer fraud? we know the facts. >> i guarantee you you're going to learn a lot more facts when this pfizer report comes out. this explosive new information in there. >> sean: we come back, a lot of new breaking news tonight. andy mccarthy, pete hegseth, dan bongino, the reaction to all of this news and more straight-ahead. ♪

6:27 pm
6:28 pm
we went tonight we have learned don durham is expanding the probe into russia. meanwhile learning that mueller wasn't far pursuing the fbi director job in 2017. that is contrary to what he has testified to under oath. he was more reaction to that of close of headline, author of the brand-new book, exonerated and fox news contributor dan bongino but it also fox news contributor andy mccarthy and fox and friends cohost pete hegseth. pete let me start with you. we have joe biden on tape. bragging about a shakedown. i said you are not getting the billion. you have six hours. you're fired in six hours.
6:29 pm
you're not getting the billion dollars. then we find out it was his son who is making all of this money with ukraine and burisma holdings. no apparent experience with ukraine, oil, gas, or energy. i would like to know what exactly he did in his position for them but nobody seems to care about that part. is there anything in the transcript that you read that is inappropriate about the president of the united states and his conversation and you see a problem with what joe biden did? >> i do see a problem with what biden did in the sense that he had a conflict of interest because his son had this position. as far as what the president said in the transcript, i think asking zelinski, the ukrainian president, for assistance in mueller's investigation is fine. that's the kind of thing that's done all the time, asking another government for assisting in our investigations. asking him about biden getting a
6:30 pm
prosecutor fired also seems fine to me because it's an elements of barr's investigation to show the obama administration was winning on the ukrainian authorities to investigate paul manafort and potentially others in the trump campaign then it's very relevant that biden had that kind of influence and control over the ukrainian's. i would prefer if the president hadn't gotten into biden's son because to my knowledge, there was no justice department investigation into hunter biden and that does go on the line toward a president using his control over foreign policy -- you on hold on a second. andy i have january 11th, i have 2017 politico, it outlines ingrate specificity the the election interference of the ukrainians in 2016 on hillary's
6:31 pm
behalf. now we have joe biden on tape demanding the firing using our tax dollars. now there's a president pointing out a lot of corruption came from there. on this article it goes on to state unequivocally how ukraine interfered in our elections and we got the whole biden issue. why shouldn't we get to the bottom of this? the president who is sworn in -- >> you're mixing up two different things. you're mixing up two different things. going into what biden did in connection with ukrainians, that is joe biden, is fine. that seems like it's very relevant to bars investigation. i don't see what hunter biden had to deal with the 2016 election. i just don't see it. >> sean: i'm not complaining -- they are two separate things that matter. >> they do matter. the question is, so the president have a lien on the ukrainian president president
6:32 pm
under those circumstances to get that information? i don't think -- >> sean: the president does have an obligation, does he not, the fated faithfully execute and uphold the laws of the land. so he sees biden shaking down ukraine. that would be appropriate to me and he's watching the news like everybody else and he knew about the reports about hunter biden so that to me would be appropriate. we got to get to the bottom of this like the rest of the mess that ukraine admits that they helped hillary clinton and that politico acknowledges that they did play a role. so you have the two of them and they are both relevant to me. >> you know, look. if you're going to take the position that that makes it relevant and that therefore justifies the president -- >> sean: you don't think that makes it relevant? >> no. what i'm about to say is that if that's going to be your position then what the other side is going to say is we're going to have to reevaluate whether the
6:33 pm
investigation that was done on the trump campaign was driven by rightful suspicion or not. you can't have it both ways. it either is or it isn't. you can't. here's part of the overarching problem. widespread quickly but it takes time for the truth to emerge and the lead to the segment was the durham investigation which is the single most important investigation in this country right now. he is looking into 2016, he thought it only went through the inauguration, and i would go through the spring of 2017 because they are looking into the appointment of the special counsel. bob mueller sat in front of the president of the united states and lied to congress about this and said he was never up for the fbi director job. he interviewed for the fbi director job with the president when he knew that he and his buddy rod rosenstein had already made a deal that he would be the special counsel if he doesn't yet get the job. so if you look at why
6:34 pm
president trump might be frustrated with what foreign governments might know, durham and barr are talking a foreign governments about what they may have known or participated in based on what the deep state, which is not so deep, because a quit at the top o top of the deep state, with rosenstein and to call me and barr, were collaborating and durham has a chance to get to the bottom of that. you talk to the grassroots support of this president, they still demand a countability and the president channeled that and that's why he asks these questions because it hasn't been delivered yet. you go it's vice president truong. i'm sure he hates that emotion. and instead of hunter his name is don jr. and vice president trump was doing the bragging about leveraging our tax money. >> this is kind of hysterical. we don't have to bother switching the names, it already have been very remember they were complaining about the trump tower moscow project by the way that never happened? no money actually changed.
6:35 pm
here's the thing, don jr. does real estate and builds building so let me get this straight. a perfectly legal construction project was turned into an international scandal although not a brick was ever laid or a dollar ever changed but yet hunter biden come with zero experience, to natural gas come ukraine, or ukrainian natural gas, gets an 80 plus thousand dollar per month gig? you couldn't find someone else who actually has propane and their house or someone who has more experience than hunter biden? i mean, come on. this stinks to the heavens. anybody without wearing rose-colored glasses could see that. >> sean: what's frustrating is that they're looking into all of it. the president has -- we have an obligation and a duty. he has an obligation, confrontational duty to see that this type of corruption doesn't happen again. i would argue that it is a for him. andy? >> do you think he's done that
6:36 pm
across the board sean? >> i do. >> every place there's corruption he's looked into it? >> well, i see it in this particular case. everyone is so worked up. the speaker you said he has a duty to do this. i'm asking you -- >> that's rig. pay attention to the answer. in this country, we now live in a country with post constitutional america. we are going to spy on a presidential campaign transitioning to the presidency and to answer your question, we spent three years on the issue of foreign country interference and yet it happens that nobody cares about it having happened. true or false? >> that's false. i think a lot of people care about it happening. i just wrote a book about a happening. >> sean: tell me who also talking about ukraine and their support of hillary in the last election. not many people. not many people are looking at -- a lot of people -- >> there's a lot of people looking into this and it should be looked into.
6:37 pm
>> on this place it's the nepotism of politically connected families whether it's the clintons or it's about ins, using their position to enrich themselves and that's the very thing they are accusing this president of doing. >> sean: thank you all for being with us. when we come back, president trump says how he clinton should jump in the race for 2020. wait until you hear hillary's response. laura tromp is here and ways and next. straight ahead. ♪ of once-weekly ozempic®. in a study with ozempic®, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than 7 and maintained it. oh! under 7?

's interpretation of the transcript we all read. there's nothing on there that says quid pro quo resident wanting come on i think andy mccarthy is dead wrong on all of this. president wanting to get to the truth of the election interference of ukraine on behalf of hillary and the last election peered we spent three years debating that. number charcot, you've got joe biden on tape admitting he leveraged a billion taxpayer dollars, demanded the firing of
6:45 pm
ukrainian prosecutor, why would a vice president ever do that? nobody's allowed to talk about that? >> well, that is a quid pro quo right there. i think it is perfectly acceptable for the president for the president of the united states to want to clarify exactly what happened there because quite frankly i think the american people deserve to know what their vice president was doing with a billion dollars and we hear on tape, you say, he tells the prosecutor this guy's got to go. he says the prosecutor has to go. it's such a double standard though whenever you see what they are trying to do to this president which tier point we have all seen the transcripts. there was nothing there. but the call for this impeachment inquiry before they even knew what was in this transcript before they even knew what was in the phone call. it doesn't matter. they want this president out, they are desperate and they are trying to do anything they can but it's not going to work. i hate to tell them. >> sean: plosives like we can impeach him for many reasons. we will find something. i think you look at all of that

>> sean: elizabeth warren is still in hot water tonight after a resurfaced video suggesting she lied on the campaign trail while telling a story about being fired from teaching for being visibly pregnant. according to the --
6:51 pm
they voted unanimously on a devotion to extend warren to his second year of teaching but she is defiant telling cbs news all i know as i was 22 years old, six months pregnant, a job that i was promised for the next year was going to someone else. of course warren's trouble with the truth is nothing new. he was a reaction, fox news contributor's car row and charlie hurt. between what they are trying to do, made it may be likely i guess to go forward with impeaching the present which they won't get a conviction on a one coup attempt after another. now it was with warren seems like the likely favorite to win the nomination. where do you see the election going question marks because gonna be a tough election. the democrats are going to throw everything they can at the president and by the time we get around to selecting the democratic nominee, they will have dusted him up with impeachment and they will be coming hard after him and the president can't take this for granted.

she is left wing, she's out there on the fringe, but i think there have been 45 polls thus far this year matching president trump and elizabeth warren. he has let her in five. the last one was in july. he's been tied with her and five and she's been ahead of him and 35 out of 45 polls. admittedly, not by much, for and half points is the latest average in the real clear politics average but the president cannot take a race against elizabeth warren for granted. he's going to need to dig in and show the differences between the two of them in great detail and he's also going to have to show that he's got a vision for the second term is better than a vision she is offering for her first. >> sean: do you think the american people see this and i find it repulsive? we have the election in the year and it's like well if this doesn't work i will just find another reason to impeach him because you know - -- to me is like they just want him out of office. created they never accepted that he won and they never accepted

the mueller report. >> yes. look, this is why -- i thought the tone the president had a day or two ago, i understand when he's angry. i understand he doesn't feel fairly treated by the system and that this is distinctly unfair but i thought his tone a day or two ago was good. he said basically it's a witch hunt what i'm going to stay focused on the big things the american people want me to do and he's got a chance here with the china trade deal, with usmca, with the other initiatives in the administration, to show that even in the midst of having everything thrown at him by the democrats, he still focused on what he thinks is best for the american people. >> sean: and the list of promises made and caps are pretty significant. >> i think the democrats really stock themselves in the foot. i think for all of the flaws that joe biden has come i think he was probably their best shot at trying to peel back those voters that donald trump stole m them in 2016 and it looks like in this whole effort to
6:54 pm
destroy the president, they have taken out that the best chance. you know people like elizabeth warren, you know, the things in the proposals but she's peddling, i talked to a lot of democrats back home, i don't ever hear anyone say you know what he really want? i want somebody to decriminalize border crossing. i want free health care for illegal aliens. that something you never hear democrats back home talk about and then you add on top of the fact that she apparently has a real problem with the truth and is really making up stories relating to absolutely anything. >> sean: are you convinced she gets it? >> i think charlie is right and that's what we have a long way to go here and there can be lots of twists and turns. i do think this field has collapsed onto biden, warren, maybe sanders, but boy, he mishandled the whole heart attack thing and may not be able to recover from damaging his credibility with the ma can people let alone his health but
6:55 pm
we have to be careful. she's about ready to get her turn in the barrel and however she handles it is going to be a big test to her and there's a chance for biden to come back but this thing has a long way to go before it gets settled into who is going to the front runner. >> whoever the nominee is, don't donald trump and his supporters have to treat it like it's going to be tough. >> sean: are a guys. thank you. more "hannity" after this. ♪
