And telemundo is busted staging and choreographing a shot at a donald trump protest. Is telemundo staging a shot . Ah, probably. This special edition of hannity starts right here, right now. Welcome to this special edition politics in the press. How the liberal media is trying to influence the white house. Earlier this week after the press went after donald trump over his donations to veterans charities, the presumptive gop nominee held a press conference to set the record straight and he went right at them. Take a look. Ive never received such bad publicity for doing such a good job. Look, you know my opinion to the media. Its very low. I think the media is, frankly, made up of people that in many cases, not in all cases, are not good people. I have to tell you, the press is so dishonest and so unfair. Ive been dealing with the press a long time. I think the Political Press is among the most dishonest people that ive ever met, but what i dont want is when i raise millions of dollars, have people say like this sleazy guy right over here from abc, hes a sleaze, in my book. Youre a sleaze because you know the facts and you know the facts well. Now, after those exchanges, the press wasnt too happy about being called out by mr. Trump. Watch this. Is this what its going it be like covering if you if youre president . Yeah, it is. Were going to have this kind of confrontation in the pressroom . It is going it be like this, david. If the press writes false stories like they did with this, half of you are amazed i raised all this money. If the press writes false stories like they did when i wanted to keep a low profile. I didnt want the credit for raising all this money for the vets. I wasnt looking for the credit. By the way, more money is coming in. I wasnt looking for the credit. I had no choice but to to this because the press was saying i didnt raise any money for them. Here with reaction, editor in chief of lifezette, Fox News Contributor, nationally syndicated radio talk show host Laura Ingraham is with us. Look at these words, that theyre dishonest, unfair, their opinion is low. By the way, so is the American Peoples opinion. That they should be embarrassed, he said. Theyre not good people. I agree with all of that. And we saw this play out in the New York Times. Well get to this later about telemundo staging protests, choreographing what protesters should do. We saw katie couric insert eight seconds of dead air. Nobody wants dead air on television or radio. But they got called out and to me, it was a good thing and i think the press died, journalism died in 2008. How profound was this attack by trump . I think so many folks who are watching this play out between trump and the press are saying to themselves, finally, finally someones calling out the dishonesty. And at the same time, ill say, sean, i dont think its necessarily cool for trump to take on every incoming missile or missilette from one of these media missilette . You know what i mean, its like youre shooting down at these people. I worked for president reagan all these years ago. He always kind of dealt with them with a wink and a smile then went right back to the American People. And i just think theres a pretty little bit of a danger here of getting bogged down with the back and forth constantly with the press krit sicritics. He knows the press is against him. Theyre going to fight him every step of the way. Look at the case of the veterans. Nearly 6 million. At one point he said, well, are you going to ask hillary how much the Clinton Foundation has given . Theyve given which is a great question. Over the years 70,000. Thats a legitimate comparison that they, themselves, ought to be thinking about if they were truly honest, fair, balanced. Theyre not, though. Their whole point yeah. Sean, their whole point is he only got the money together for the veterans groups when the Washington Post started digging around about it and wrote his Million Dollar check late in the game. They were nitpicking him on the timing. As if trump was did we really think trump was going to keep the money for himself . Hes going to steal it. Hes a billionaire, whos going to steal 6 million for the vets . I think this election is going to be won, or lost, on this question. Who is going to grow this economy . Whos going to make the lives of the average americans better . Whos going to make the country stronger . The border more enforced. Better deals. Protect our sovereignty and independence. I dont think the back and forth of the press, as entertaining, believe me, i find it very entertaining and well deserved in most cases. I just dont want this to turn into the trump media show for the rest of the election because i dont think that ultimately will be good. In the course of a week, though, the New York Times story got debunked. Katie couric got exposed. Telemi telemundo got exposed. Its as relevant as its ever been. He took them on hard over the vets issues. Let me give you one example. I actually think the election is going to be about are you better off than you were eight years ago . Right. Has liberalism failed again . I think the answers yes. Does donald trump offer a better vision for the country . But lets take the New York Times. Carrie prejean and this woman, Rowanne Brewer lane, you know, featured in the New York Times. A hit piece against trump. They didnt expose kathleen willey, interview her or juanita broaddrick. Of course not. Or paula jones. But they tried to smear and besmirch trump and it backfired and it backfired because the women, themselves, smopoke out d heres part of what they said. I basically, you know, wouldnt give them a story and now they came out with their own version of it and took, you know, something out of my book and just totally twisted it and made it so negative and i have nothing but positive things to say about donald trump. They were trying to paint him in a bad light. Theres nothing else that can convince me otherwise. Wow. Having asked them so many times and being promised repeatedly that it was not going to be exactly what it turned out to be and made me angry. Im not going to just say thats okay because its not supposed to happen. It shouldnt happen. We cant let it happen. So the featured women, to feel compelled of course. I mean, sean, theyre going to do this. This is whats going to happen between now and the first week in november to donald trump. Theyre going to say that he doesnt like women, that theyre going to say that hes perpetual, you know, lawsuit freak. Everything they can say theyre going to say, exaggerate, going to downright lie. I think hes nailed them on this. Most people watching the exchange between trump and nasty press people, hell come out on top. Tonality, his great strength is not backing down from a fight but its also, i think, laying out when he gets into the specifics, laying out an agenda of growth and economic opportunity. I just dont want him to get too sidetracked. Understood. I think you make a good point. Thats all. I think the fact that its such big news this week and it happened consecutively, i think is a pretty powerful indictment kbe against them. It was funny, dan rather said the following, he said i felt a shudder down my spine watching Donald Trumps attack against the press. This is not a moment to be trifle ld with. Look at his career. Its pretty funny. Poor old Brian Williams, jason blair at the New York Times, dan rathers deal, katie couric. Now theyre digging up things trump said in 1994 about women or wives who work. Theyll stop at nothing. Im saying i think the American People are on to this game. I really do. The old identity politics looks really stale after weve had a democrat in the white house for 7 1 2 years whos still blaming george w. Bush. So i think trump has i think he has the world at his feet if he plays it right and some of the fun banter. The irony is the Mainstream Media asked barack obama as a candidate one time and i said the question before debate to George Stephanopoulos about bill ayers. He didnt know who they were. To me, that tells the whole story. Laura, thanks for being with us. Coming up next on this special edition of hannity ive done nearly 300 interviews, and theyre not even sure they captured all the ones that ive done, but i believe that we do and we should answer questions. Hillary clinton, she offers up that lame response after being called out for not doing a press conference in about six months. Well check in with dr. Ben carson. Hes here to weigh in. And also tonight i havent turned on fox news or listened to conservative talk radio yet today, but ive turned them on enough over these past 7 1 2 years to know im not exaggerating in terms of their story. Bashing fox news and talk radio while liberals are up in arms about donald trump pushing back against the press. Well have reaction. All of that and more on this special edition of hannity president ial politics and the press as we continue. Before i had the shooting, burning, pinsandneedles of diabetic nerve pain, these feet played shortstop in high school, learned the horn from my dad and played gigs from new york to miami. But i couldnt bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. So i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. Nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. Lyrica is fda approved to treat this pain, from moderate to even severe diabetic nerve pain. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. Or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. Common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs, and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. Now i have less diabetic nerve pain. And these feet would like to keep the beat going. Ask your doctor about lyrica. To foxnews. Com. Welcome back to this special edition of hannity. This week donald trump called out Hillary Clinton. Shes not held a press conference in nearly six months. Clinton was asked about her lack of access to the press earlier this week. Heres what she said. Its been something, like, five or six months since youve held an actual press conference. Is that something youre going to remedy soon . Oh, im sure we will. You know, look, i was shocked, myself, that ive done nearly 300 interviews and theyre not even sure they captured all the ones that ive done, but i believe that we do and we should answer questions. Of course, im going to. And many, many different kinds of settings. Now, interviews are not the same thing as a press conference. Joining us now is someone who knows what its like to deal with the liberal media, former 2016 president ial candidate, now supporting donald trump, dr. Ben carson is back with us. You know, isnt this an amazing phenomenon that the closer that Hillary Clinton gets to securing the nomination, the weaker she gets. And the more afraid she seems to be to go out to the media because of all the scandals that surround her. Is the tha isnt that the real reason she doesnt want to do a press conference . Well, you knows, anybody who really thinks that they have the right answers and the solutions should be anxious to do a press conference in order to get that information out. But she seems to shy away from situations that she cant totally control. And thats not something that i think thinking americans should be able to see quite readily. And that would be a very good reason not to have her as commander in chief. You know, youve got the Inspector General report that just came out that contradict everything shes been saying about the emails. Lie after lie after lie. You got Brian Pagliano wants to plead the fifth in a Judicial Watch case and cheryl mills gives a deposition a week ago about cheryl mills, what, 200 times with 7 lawyers objecting during the 5hour deposition then not recalling the rest of the time. It seems like there are too many questions she cannot answer without putting herself in legal jeopardy. Do you agree well, the sad no, the sad thing is that there are so Many Americans who have access to everything that you just said and it doesnt matter to them. It doesnt matter that the person that they support is a perpetual liar. It doesnt matter that she said what difference does it make in benghazi . Would not send help when they pleaded for help. You know, is this the kind of person that we really want to have . Weve had better choices than this, and are we going to do this to our children and our grandchildren . And then you look at the email scandal. You know, with all the experience, when she talks about her great experience, first lady for eight years, senator for eight years, secretary of state. You dont have enough judgment not to put Vital Information into a nonsecure place and then you sit around, you try to blame everybody else for it and colin powell did it, Condoleezza Rice did it, everybodiy else did it, no, they did not do it. This is a problem. Everything they seem to attack donald trump on, having friendly surrogates in the media like the New York Times or telemundo or reporters in the clinton camp, it seems to boomerang back on them. It started with the whole gender issue then raised questions about bill clintons conduct and abuse of women, hillarys enabling and her involvement in smearing and slandering some of these women. More recently they went aft, quote, Trump University, then you have the appointed firm donating money to hillary and on top of that paying hillary and bill a lot of money for speeches. So that falls apart. Even on the Trump University case, how many people know bill clinton was paid 16. 5 million in 4 years for this Laureate College that is literally according to students taking advantage of them across the whole world . Thats a huge sum of money, dont you think . Absolutely. I recently talked to a physician who went to Trump University and this man is very wealthy, but hes not wealthy from being a physician. Hes wealthy from what he learned at Trump University and learning how to do investments. Hes become very successful in the real estate area. He says thats because of Trump University. You can find people who have had bad experiences there as you can at any university. They need to look at this objectively. Certain points, although i feel like ive asked every single candidate when i was interviewing them, theyre in the process, when there was 17 of you running for office, every question i could possibly think of. My strategy was to let the candidates talk. What was your experience like with the media, generally speaking . Well, you know, i had an episode like the one that donald trump had a couple of days ago with the media back in december, and, you know, i really let them have it because, you know, they were taking these lies about me and the west point story and spreading them around like they were truth then when it was discovered they were completely off base, did they come back and say anything . Of course not. The same thing, you know, with the temper thing when they found out that it was true, yeah, they said nothing. And on and on and on. Because they were just desperate. They have an agenda and thats their problem. It was really only after i got to a doubledigit lead head to head over Hillary Clinton that they started coming out with all this stuff. They clearly have agendas. Let me change topics a little on you. If donald trump comes to dr. Ben carson, says i want to put you in charge of health and human services, i want you to replace obamacare with Health Savings accounts, would you do it . I would certainly be willing to help make that happen. And a lot of other things, too, but sean, one of the things ive found very useful is to be able to be out there. All over the country talking to all kinds of different groups. Helping to educate people about whats going on. And then being able to interface with the administration. I think that will be extraordinarily valuable, too. So, you know, we would certainly talk about which is more valuable. All right. Dr. Carson, always good to see you, thank you, sir. Coming up next on this special edition of hannity i havent, you know, turned on fox news or listened to conservative talk radio yet today, but ive turned them on enough over these past 7 1 2 years to know im not exaggerating in terms of their story. Well prove that wrong. Obama lashes out at fox news and talk radio while liberals like Hillary Clinton criticize donald trump for pushing back against the media. Well check in with austan goolsbee, doug schoen, Kellyanne Conway with reaction. Later tonight, donald trump labels katie couric a thirdrate reporter. Why she deceptively edited a scene in her documentary about guns. Well check in with Eboni Williams and dr. Gina loudon. Theyll weigh in tonight. And is that the media staging a shot . Is that the media staging a shot . Is telemundo staging a shot . Ah, probably. Acameraman working for telemundo is caught staging and choreographing a shot under trump protests. All that and more as this special edition of hannith ha president ial politics and the president ial politics and the press continues. Hi hey ive made plans for later in case this date doesnt go well. Same here. Wouldnt it be great if everyone said what they meant . The citi double cash card does. Earn 1 cash back when you buy, and 1 as you pay. Doub
