Hannity tells Dems to 'Go for it' on impeachment, says Mueller should be 'held accountable'


Fox News host Sean Hannity was in rare form on Wednesday evening's "Hannity," declaring "act one" over, in reaction to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's comments on the Russia investigation and also challenging Democrats to impeach President Trump.
"Without a doubt the radical extreme democratic socialist party, they are clamoring for impeachment more than ever before. Here is my message to them tonight: Go for it, go for it. I want you to reach for the stars," Hannity said during his monologue.

"Stay right there and don't solve any more problems of the American people or serve the people who put you in Washington."
The host, who was No. 1 in May's cable news ratings, warned Democrats that impeachment was "political suicide" for those who can't "handle the truth" of the recent Russia investigation developments or the 2016 election results.
"I'm going to enjoy watching you dig the hole deeper every day," Hannity said.
Hannity was reacting to Mueller's Wednesday news conference, where the special counsel addressed his report, saying his team did not have the “option” to charge Trump, that there “was not sufficient evidence to charge a conspiracy” with regard to whether members of the Trump campaign coordinated with the Russian government during the 2016 presidential election
But Mueller also addressed the president's possible obstruction of justice, which has lead to renewed interest in impeachment proceedings among Democrats.
Hannity blasted Mueller and criticized him for sparking an "impeachment fantasy."
"Mueller has spent 25-plus million dollars investigating a hoax and now, for the fourth time, we have a conclusion," Hannity said. "No coercion and no conspiracy. Today he officially resigned from the office of special counsel but not before showing the world, of course, what we already know on this program, his partisan hackery true colors, if you will."
The Fox News host was incensed that Mueller did not take questions from reporters and listed the questions that he wants Mueller to answer, swearing that Mueller "will be held accountable."
"I want Mueller under oath. I want him held accountable. I want him answering those questions," Hannity said. "It's now more important than ever."

Kamala Harris: The odds are 'you will be able to keep your doctor' under Medicare For All

Willie's Girl :-)
California senator and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris assured town hall attendees on Tuesday night that the "odds-on favorite" under Medicare For All is that you will be able to keep your doctor.
Harris was asked about her plans for healthcare reform during a televised town hall in South Carolina. She responded by reiterating her belief that access to healthcare should be a "right" and how she's been a proud supporter of Medicare For All.
She then knocked the skeptics who question whether they'd be able to keep their doctor under Medicare For All, which she admitted was an "understandable point."
"Well 91% of the doctors in the United States are in the Medicare system, so the odds-on favorite is that you will be able to keep your doctor," Harris said.
The senator's remarks resemble the assurances President Obama gave while promoting the Affordable Care Act, where he told Americans that "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it," something Politifact declared as "Lie of the Year" in 2013.
MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell later pressed Harris on which Medicare For All proposals would she sign as president.
"Mandatory Medicare for everyone," O'Donnell said.
"For everyone," Harris responded.
"So that does mean giving up their current private healthcare plans," O'Donnell followed.
"No, but they would be entitled to receive and have basically supplemental insurance, but under Medicare For All and my vision for Medicare For All, we would expand the coverage of Medicare so it would include dental, it would vision for our seniors, it would include hearing aids, which are so expensive," Harris continued. "The goal is that everyone is going to be in the same system."

Gowdy calls out Swalwell over just ‘another white guy’ comment, ‘sad’ state of politics



Former Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy on Tuesday called out Democratic presidential candidate Eric Swalwell over his "I may be another white guy" comment and called it an example of the sad state of politics.
Swalwell, a California lawmaker who launched his bid to become the president last month, has been struggling to get a footing in the crowded Democratic primary.
In an interview on Monday with Vice News, Swalwell said, “A white guy who doesn’t see other identities or understand other experiences should not be president.”
“I do,” he said. “And where there would be gaps in my knowledge or my experience, I will pass the mic to people who do have that experience.”
Swalwell’s comments sit well with Gowdy who criticized them comment during an appearance on “The Story” with Martha MacCallum.
Former Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy lampooned Democratic presidential candidate Eric Swalwell for admitting that him being “a white guy” was a flaw in this election.
“Well, Eric’s clearly riding a wave. I think he’s all the way up to zero in the polling,” Gowdy said, referring to the recent Morning Consult poll that shows the Democrat is supported by less than one percent of the surveyed voters.
“I noticed throughout his political history he ran against two women that I know of, so if he is concerned there aren’t enough voices in Congress or in the city council he was on, he didn’t have any qualms about running against two qualified women back then. This is what I know and, luckily, what most of our fellow citizens know,” he continued.

Gowdy added that it’s “a sad reflection” that Swalwell thinks he can win support by apologizing for things he has no control over.
“Logic, objective truth, passion, empathy, no racial or gender strictures. If you are a good person, I want you governing me regardless of any other immutable characteristic,” he said.
“I think it is a sad reflection on our politics if people are actually apologizing for things over which they have absolutely no control at all and I think most of my fellow citizens reject that and see this as just Eric pandering, trying to climb all the way up to one percent in the polling.”

This isn’t the first time Swalwell tried to pander to the far-left of the party. From the onset of his campaign, he promised to pick a woman as his running mate because he’s a “white man” who knows “where I can't speak to someone else's experience.”
Earlier this month, Swalwell was also ridiculed after stumbling over his knowledge of the Constitution in a bid to score political points and complaining that the Constitution doesn’t mention “woman”. Many pointed out that “Man” is also not mentioned in the Constitution.

Hannity: 'Deep State in full panic mode'


The "'Deep State' is in full panic mode" after President Trump authorized Attorney General Barr to declassify information relating to the origins of the Russia probe last week, this according to Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Hannity sent out yet another warning to those involved with the Russia investigation and assured the American people that they will "see the truth" for themselves.

— Sean Hannity
The Fox News host also addressed former FBI director James Comey who wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post Tuesday critical of the investigation.
Comey wrote in The Washington Post on Tuesday, "There was no corruption. There was no treason. There was no attempted coup. Those are lies, and dumb lies at that. There were just good people trying to figure out what was true, under unprecedented circumstances."
Hannity continued to warn Comey and other Obama-era intelligence officials such as former DNI James Clapper and former CIA director John Brennan who have been vocal against Trump authorizing declassification information in the Russia probe.
"And I warned you before, you do have the right to remain silent. You should have taken my advice from the get-go. Sadly, I think that your rage for President Trump and intense love of the spotlight is really overcoming every bit of common sense that you might have," Hannity warned.
"They are even digging bigger holes every single time they open their mouths," Hannity said.

Ted Cruz slams Ilhan Omar over now-deleted tweet on immigration


Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Tex, called out Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, over a now-deleted tweet that suggested having a merit-based immigration system would disadvantage Latino migrants.
Earlier this month, President Trump unveiled his plans for immigration reform, including the installation of a merit-based system that grants migrants entry into the United States based on their trade, skill level, and education.
On Tuesday night, Omar slammed Trump's proposal in a tweet that has since been deleted from her Twitter page.
A "merit based" immigration policy is fueled by racism towards the Latinx community," Omar wrote. "Our immigration policies shouldn't be based on discrimination, fear, or bigotry. We should welcome immigrants to our country and offer a simple way to citizenship."
That sparked a ton of blowback from critics.
Sen. Cruz also weighed in and called out the Democratic Party for apparently believing that "Hispanic immigrants can’t qualify for skills-based legal immigration."
"As the son of a Cuban immigrant whose Dad came to get a math degree & become a computer programmer, I’m troubled that Dems seem to believe Hispanic immigrants can’t qualify for skills-based legal immigration," Cruz tweeted. "Bringing in more scientists, engineers & doctors is good for US jobs."
Rep. Omar's office did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

The founder of Chinese Telecom Huawei says he is prepared for a drawn out fight with the U.S.
During a recent interview, the tech CEO remained defiant that the recent black list against the company will ultimately not effect business.
He did concede however, the Trump administration’s trade tariffs will make it more difficult for Huawei to compete with it’s rival companies.
He also said he was not prepared to back down in the face of American trade pressure.
“There is the possibility this may become long-lasting,” said Ren Zhengfei. “We’ve prepared for a protracted battle, not for a short one. Maybe we will become stronger through the long-term fight. After we go through the break-in period of our products, we may become stronger.”
The founder also went on to reject claims Huawei would be a part of sanctions negotiations between Washington and Beijing, implying he has no interest in negotiating with the White House.
