then, of course, what happened to steve scalise fighting for his life, and now you find out you re on a list to be murdered, to be assassinated. i ve got to imagine that is tough, too. very much so, particularly for my family. what the public doesn t understand, we often get these kind of threats. members of congress or the united states senate, by way of example. at one time i had a bounty on my head of $21,000. if you were successful in killing me and some other members of congress, also had that kind of bounty. what happened last wednesday brings it home and sharper focus, however. it s one thing to get these kind of threats, it s another thing to have multiple shots at you and that your friends and colleagues. sean: again, having to jump and help these guys. congressman franks, it s also media figures. i have dealt with as my entire career. it s not fun. well, it really isn t, sean. i just have to say, as much as i
monologue. during last nights interview, megyn kelly, my former colleague, pressed jones on some of his conspiracy theories but out of the hours of video they taped, nbc only aired a few minutes. jones has called for nbc to air the full version. in this case i have to agree. whether you agree or disagree, this is the right thing. i am in no way being critical of my colleague and someone will have been friends with, megyn kelly. she was doing her job. but i do believe nbc news should release the full tapes of the alex jones interview. let americans decide. isn t that what websites are now four. shouldn t nbc let you let the american public see everything that was said and they can decide for themselves what to think? i am a little sick and tired of the mainstream media, news media
they almost indicted him for forgetfulness. that s how vindictive, that s how powerful these powers of state are. sean: by the way, i want to send our thoughts and prayers to the family of this young man, otto, who just recently returned from north korea and i tonight. i am so sad for this family. i want to ask you one final question. i think this is important. i really believe this rhetoric, this hatred i talked about in ml opening monologue, shakespeare, the isis pose, the rhetoric, hate, the violence towards this president, to dehumanize him, is now extraordinarily dangerous.s. your thoughts? it s extremely dangerous, and it s much deeper than just trump. i talk to college students atpe the college republican national convention this week, i ask them, how many of you feel intimidated and your campus? a third of them raised their
