Commentary, newsmaker interviews and panel discussions. Granddaughter, and you totally seem to have forgotten the overwhelming amount of violent rhetoric against President Trump himself. What did you say during these moments . Take a look. And with this kind of inspiration, i will go and take trump out tonight. Yes i have thought an awful lot of blowing up the white house. One with the last time an actor assassinated the president . [cheers and applause] i want to clarify, im not an actor. I lie for a living. However, its been a while. And maybe its time. How dare he say the things he does . Of course i want to punch him in the face. Right. [cheers and applause] the press always asked me dont i wish i were debating him . No, i wish we were in
high school and i could take him behind the gym . Thats what i wish. Sean so where is the fear, the worry, the concern about all of this rhetoric against the president . T . Now do you think what you just saw is a little bit worse than being heckled at a rally . Because i do. But theres plenty of more examples of these Crisis Peddlers in the news media today doing whatever they can do every minute, hour, second of every day to discredit President Trump and his supporters. The media in this country, they cannot stand the president s common sense conservative agenda. They cant stand that hes actually keeping his promises. They clearly dont like the trump tax cuts because that means its less of an opportunity for democrats to get power back. His peace through strength policies with north korea, iran and elsewhere seems to scare them, ending the horrible iranian deal, this president is not bringing piles of cargo planes in cash and other currencies and giving them to mullahs in iran and also negotiating with foreign countries. Hes trying to get better trade deals, he gets criticized for
that. Obviously the success is not something thats reported on often and, by the way, it seems that many in this country want this president to fail because if he fails, then that means democrats can get back in power. I even think if President Trump cured cancer at this point, many in the media, many on the left p would still hate him. Its a prime reason why the media is so obsessed with muellers partisan witch hunt. They want to see this president impeached. They have been trying toan attack his credibility since hes been elected. Earlier today, the president s attorney Rudy Giuliani called for mueller to finally begin to wrap this up. Watch this. Si we believe the investigation should be brought to a close. We think they are at the end of it. They should render their report put up or shut up, what do you got. We have every reason to believe they dont have anything. No evidence of anything wrong. Sean today on twitter the president himself called on theAttorney GeneralJefff Sessions to end this investigation. He tweeted out, this is a terrible situation. The Attorney GeneralJeff Sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt right now before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob mueller is totally conflicted and his 17 angry democrats that are doing Hisbo Dirty Work are a disgrace to the u. S. And then the president continued, Russian Collusionol with the trump campaign, one of the most unsuccessful in history is a total hoax. The democrats, they actually paid for the phony, discredited dossier which was, along with comey, mccabe, stzruk, his lover, the lovely lisa page, used to begin the witch hunt. E very disgraceful. By the way the dossier is phony lies and fisa judges were lied to. Many in the media are now sayingPresident Trump actually obstructed justice because he tweeted out his opposition to all that has happened with no evidence and criticizing what is a witch hunt. In other words, telling the truth. Take a look. S hes basically sort of delegitimizing our system of government. Maybe this is the beginning of a new Saturday Night Massacre and one has to wonder whetheron mr. Trump is feeling the pressure of the Manafort Trial. It looks like he may very well have obstructed justice in this particular case. Thats why i find it particularly ironic that he seems to be continuing to try tt obstruct and end this case so publicly. They are starting to feel the Collusion Investigation Closing in a little bit more. We are getting Donald Trumps most overt and obstructionist tweets to date. Its not a surprise. Just around this little incident will be a strong mini case of obstruction. Sean crisis to crisis, feigned, phony moral outrage every second. Just another example of what is groupthink in action. And its the same reason the Mainstream Media has been telling you the trial of Paul Manafort on a 2005 tax case is
the trial of 2 the century, andf course it is anything but. Manafort worked for then Candidate Trump i think less than 100 days. The charges that hes now facing have nothing to do with trump, nothing. Nothing to do with the campaign, zero. Nothing to do with russia, zero. Nothing about collusion. Still, manafort is facing serious time in prison if convicted and the success rate by the way for federal cases is really high, 95, 98 . That means this is an uphill battle when the full force of the federal government is going after any american, in this case Paul Manafort. The judge overseeing the trial, t. S. Ellis, hes not cutting the mueller team any slack and before manaforts proceeding even started, he accused mueller and his team imagine a judge saying this to the Special Counsel. This isnt about Paul Manafort. This isnt about a tax case. You want to tighten the screwsse on Paul Manafort. You want to make him sing and provide dirt against President Trump or compose,
meaning, what do i need to say to get out of trouble so you can prosecute or impeach donald trump. N this case is about a 2005 tax case. Nothing to do with trump, nothing to do with russia, nothing to do with collusion and the only reason there is all oft this Media Coverage is because he worked for then Candidate Trump for less than 100 days and according to accounts from inside the courtroom, judge ellis even interrupted the team of prosecutors in their Opening Statement because Paul Manafort made money in his life and was living a lavish lifestyle, telling the jury, its not a crime to be Rich In America and telling them to move on. The judge also chastising the prosecution over the wordch oligarch and now one more blow for the Special Counsel, their star witness, rick gates. They are saying he may not testify now. By the way, what have they offered gates . They said last night killed 19 people, doesnt spend a day in
jail because they used him to testify against john gotti sr. And they get him a home in the Witness Protection Program in arizona. N are we not beginning to have a problem with the way theyon work this system . I have no idea what Paul Manafort did or didnt do in 2005 to 2007. I didnt know him. But i do know that this trial is only happening because Robert Mueller is desperate to get President Trump. He wanted manafort to sing or compose. Hes desperate to find something, anything on the president. It doesnt matter it seems what toll this is all taking on our country. And you talk about language, yol talk about the feeling of threats. Al jim acosta, you are not the only one. The president of the United States not that long ago telling somebody to first get in peoples faces and then you will send somebody to tear me up. Did President Trump ever say this about you . I will put mr. Burgess up against sean hannity. He will tear him up. I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face. Sean get in their face. Worse than chanting fake news . Tear up sean hannity . What about Maxine Waters says, follow him into the grocery store, wherever she said to follow people, or cory booker. Joining us now, Fox News National security strategist dr. Sebastian gorka. Author of the brandnew book, a best seller, the briefing. Former White House Pressss secretary, the worst job in america, now Sarah Sanders sadly has it. Why anybody wants that job to deal with these people every day is beyond me. Congrats, sean, on the book. Their memories are short. Because what happened to pam bondi and Secretary Nielsen,
what happened to Sarah Sanders is recent, the things that have been said about the president s son are fairly recent and his granddaughter are recent. The things said about melania, ivanka and so many others that are close to the first family. I dont remember jim acosta as the great champion standing up for the first family or calling them would love to know ifmp he called them and said im sohe sorry for what youve been through. Im on a book tour right now. They love playing clips about me getting heckled and intimidated. They think its funny and amusing. I would associate my comments with your opening monologue. We have a country that allows people to express themselves freely and thats what makes our country great. But at the same time, i agree with you. We need a free and fair press that is robust, but it should never, ever be under attack with intimidation or violence. If jim acosta has a problem with some of the ability of people to express themselves, he should look at his own unprofessional and disrespectful behavior. Look in the mirror and wonder whether hes part of thesr problem. We should never be threatening anybody with violence. But its interesting how hes only concerned with himself and his colleagues as opposed to the violence that has come against the right, people like myself, sarah, Secretary Nielsen, and others. I want to go out there and have a book to talk about, to Exchange Ideas with people. Sean weve played whats happened to you. And they dont seem to worry about that sort of intimidation and that sort of disruption. Its only when it affects him. Sean did Them Acosta Everhe call you about the heckling that you received . O, no, he was part of it. His unprofessional and disrespectful behavior is part of the problem. The way he treated the president the other day in that rose garden was disgraceful. E he owes the president an apology. It is not his question thatrd he is entitled to, it is the president to give it to him. And as much as people may not n sean let me be very clear. This is important because ive had the same experience. Every conservative i know has the same experience. I dont come on tv and whine that i have been heckled orr people have tried to physically get to me or that my life has been threatened and that ive had people literally threatened my life, it has happened more often than i care to exist, its wrong. But its not the same as chanting fake news and cnn sucks and people have a right to Freedom Of Speech whether its against sean or me or dr. Gorka, im sureer youve experienced it as well. Ohave i ever. Oh, have i ever. I have to give my colleague sean all the recognition. He was on the front line on the podium. But i was in the press briefing room. I would sneak in and from the back i would watch. And sean, jim acosta thinks its his briefing room. He really thinks its the jim acosta show. And its not. Its the White House Briefing room. Hes got it backwards. Two metrics, just two metrics
for both of you and for the viewers. Go back 20 years. Go back 40 years and find for me when the White House Press corps salivated over a republican president. You wont find it. You wont find it. Sean we will take it a step further and i said this and i will go back and pull the tape, many, many times when barack obama was president. We must keep our politicians safe and im telling we are the Highest Rated show in cable thanks this audience. If i am there, i will be the first person to defend anybody in the press if anyone would dare to lay a hand on them but chanting you suck is not the same as violence. People have a right to speak in this country. Its not just the press, its any american. No american should feel threatened to share their voicel and their opinion, no american. But republican politicians have never said harass the other
party, get in their faces, its only the left, its only the democrats and they need to get a grip on their party before things get worse. Sean i challenged jim to maybe talk to those people that threw poor Sarah Sanders out of the restaurant and pam bondi and Secretary Nielsen and somebody at his network that had a severed head. I know she got fired, the president , that his 12yearold son saw. Lets start with ourselves. Anyway, when we come back, we got a lot of breaking news. Big news out of the white house about the backandforth between the trump the president s legal team, Robert Mueller, joe digenova is on fire, hes next, straight ahead. All the Amazing Services of the post office, right on your computer. Get a 4 week trial plus 100 in extras including postage and a digital scale go to stamps. Com now and never go to the post office again. Sean a lot of backandforth today about Robert Mueller wanting to interview President Trump. Here with the very latest from the white house is our own kristin fisher, Whats Going On . For months, one of the biggest questions has been well President Trump agree to sit we know that he has wanted to but that his legal team has been advising him against it and out tonight there is even more reason for his legal team to advise him against it because Robert Mueller is refusing to accept one of their key demands, to limit questioning during their facetoface interview to matters of collusion. Mueller wants to open it up to Obstruction Of Justice among some other topics. Earlier in the day the president described the Ongoing Investigation as a terrible situation and Attorney General of Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt right now. Democrats like adam schiff say the statement was an attempt to obstruct justice Hiding In Plain Sight but the white house says that the president wasnt ordering his Attorney General to do anything. The president is stating his
opinion. Hes stating it clearly and he is certainly expressing the frustration that he has with the level of corruption that we have seen from people like jim comey, peter strzok, andrew mccabe. Av the president s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani is telling fox news that his inclination is still to say no to an interview but that President Trump wants him to continue talking to the Special Counsel, so tonight the negotiations about this potential interview with the Special Counsel continue. Sean thank you. Nu joining us now with reaction, former u. S. Attorney for the district of columbia, joe digenova. A quick note, he has done legal work for me. He showed up at my Christmas Party and he drank way too much. And i paid for the drinks. Anyway, good to see you, my friend. I am very skeptical of any, any concession to this team of
prosecutors that Robert Mueller has put together looking at what judge ellis said about what theyre really doing in the manafort case. I dont trust them. Theres no question that the Mueller Investigation is illegitimate in the sense that Rod Rosenstein should have never appointed mueller, who had a conflict of interest. He was interviewed for the fbi director and the next day he was appointed Special Counsel. Rod rosenstein is either a witness or a coconspirator in obstruction because of the firing of james comey. De rosenstein should have never made the appointment. He shouldnt be involved. He approved one of t
