Jon Stewart takes a look at the Hate Hannity Hotline, and is forced to watch Sean Hannity's entire show before hearing an apology. Trevor unpacks the time Sean Hannity was outed as Michael Cohen's secret client and the report that President Trump and Sean Hannity talk on the phone before bedtime every night, creating a disruptive "feedback loop" in the process.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election, earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. On Tuesday night, we did a little bit about Sean Hannity's program, or to call it by its official name,

the greatest program that has ever given to a people by God. It concerned the Super Bowl of Freedom that Michelle Bachman sponsored on Capitol Hill. On Sean's show, Mr. Hannity and Ms. Bachman discussed her rally, and for no apparent reason then started showing images of Glenn Beck's much better attended 912 rally. Not acknowledging that the footage was different, but in fact commenting on how robust the crowd was, even though Bachman's rally took place on a sunny day in fall, and this rally appeared to take place on a cloudy day in summer. So, we thought that that was funny.

Because we finally had a literal manifestation of what we feel is the metaphorical methodology of the entire Fox network, which of course is the subtle altering of reality to sell a preconceived narrative, which I imagine, which I imagine Fox decided was not as catchy a motto. So. So, now we received a word... I have chiggers. So we received a word that Mr. Hannity was going to address this issue on his program last night. So as you can imagine, I rushed home from my seminar in soybean composting with my Angelo, which we do at my food co-op, which

is run out of the back of my local gay bar. So I ran home and I turned the video camera on myself to immortalize the look on my face if and when Sean Hannity spoke about this error. And as you can imagine I prayed Desperately that he would do it early in his program, but Oh, starting it's starting. Oh, Mr. Cuddle's so good. This is so good. Joining me now is the host of war stories, Colonel Oliver North, who is the guy who was convicted of a felony against the United States.

What do you make of the fact the President of the United States can't even say that this is an act of terrorism? What we ought to be calling it is just that terrorism. All right. We have the FBI. Of course, it was not politically correct to call Nambla what it was until Bob Hamer did that investigation. Oh yeah, the whole country was pro-Nambla until Hamer did his

expose on Nambla. We all loved Nambla. And it took the FBI a year to declare that to be terrorism and now you've got the... We knew all of this including the email communications for the the the the the the the the the the to be. the the the the that to be terrorism and now you've got the... We knew all of this including the email communications for about a year. Wait, and the strange... If they knew a year ago, his colleagues raised red flags about that. Bush was president a year ago. Which president should we blame? The FVI has a relationship with groups associated with the Muslim Brotherhood.

A radical jihadism that is out to undo what we are as a people. Disconnected, paranoid, schizoid, and even belligerent. Massive shortages of H1N1 vaccine. This is a public health disaster. The government didn't produce enough of it. Is this the same government that now has the capacity to take over health care? Meanwhile, children have died. There are some parents that don't want to vaccinate the kids, which by the way the way the way. There are some parents that don't want to vaccinate the kids, which by the way, everything the government touches is bankrupt.

He was citing Quranic chapter and verse for jihad. He was warning against what he called so-called adverse events. Radical Islam and Islam. Wahabi lobbyists. Radical jihadism. Muslim soldiers gone wild. This is the biggest tea party I've ever seen. Finally tonight, although it pains me to say this, John Stewart, Comedy Central, he was right.

We screwed up. It was an inadvertent mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. So Mr. Stewart, you were right. We apologize. It wasn't worth it. Nothing's worth sitting to this. He didn't have to say that. Obviously, I think we should say something. He didn't have to apologize to me. It's not like you disappointed me. I expect that stuff. But I do want to address one thing that Mr. Hannity graciously said last night.

We apologize, but by the way, I want to thank you and all your writers for watching. Okay. It wasn't actually me or my writers who watched your show and caught that slip up. I was actually one of our younger producers, a kid right out of school named Rameen Heddyati and we're very proud of them.

Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. You know, at the start of the year, Fox News and Sean Hannity, said goodbye to his partner, Alan Poems. And America wondered, who would then be there to provide the liberal perspective for that program? He said goodbye to his partner Alan Poems. And America wondered, who would then be there to provide the liberal perspective for that program? Could it be, I don't to, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, the the the the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their their their their their the, the, the, the.a, theat, theat, theat, theat, theat, theat, there to provide the liberal perspective for that program?

Could it be, I don't know, you? Time now for the hate-hanity hotline where we give those of you out there who may not see things my way, a chance to vent a little. Well, let's see what we've got tonight. You are extremely critical whenever it comes to the Democrats. But you never see the problems in your party. Hey Monkey Boy, what a damn hypocrite. You're a entity, you f-what do you think?

I mean, what the fuck? Andy, you are an idiot. Okay, two things. One, what an incredibly representative sampling of the liberal perspective. And two, I think your hate meter is broken. The meter registered the same for the guy who was disappointed with your level of introspection as it did for the guy who called you a... a sucker. You should fix that. So a lot of angry people calling in.

Why would Sean Hannity subject himself to that kind of abuse? First of all, I love the hatred. Oh my god, Hannity's a bottom. But there's got to be more going on here. Let's go back to the tape. Let's go back to the phones. M-fucking John Hannity. It's a hypocrite mother-finding you work with a fat piece of

shit. I hate you, you know, I hate you, you know? Sean Hannity, you are a motherf-hippocusing the hypocrite of the god-finding. Feeh-hawed, Hannity. End this message. All right now we do this as a public service. It's cathartic. Yes, it's cathartic. You can be so therapeutic to publicly ridicule those whose views you find repugnant when they are in no way able to respond.

But I like the twist that you put on it, goating, imbalanced viewers to call in, handpicking the crim de la crazy, and then basically saying that people who disagree with you are either insane or the jerky boys. So, uh, it's a good bit. Uh, though there was one call that surprised me. Sean, this is Dr. Marcus. I just want to remind you, your stupid, s-stupid, f-shed face! I don't care about doctor-patient confidentiality.

I tell everyone what a dumb f-feebs you are. So, tomorrow, at 3.30, see them. You got a screen. We'll be right back. Yesterday, everyone on Fox News, like Mariah Harry on New Year's Eve. Everyone, except for one man. SpongeBob Squarehead. Imagine if the president today brought up the Second Amendment, how would the news media in this country have reacted? There were a lot of people that raced to media leader.

Let's talk about guns. I've always been a believer that you've got to prepare to defend yourself. And I had gun permits in New York and Rhode Island and California and and Alabama and Georgia in my life and I was trained in the use of a firearm by my parents that had connections to law enforcement. What does that mean? I was trained in the use of a firearm by my parents that had connections to law enforcement? The world doesn't work like that. Like if someone's sick on a plane, no one screams, does anyone have a cousin who watched Gray's Anatomy? Anyone?

But according to Sean Hannity, what really stops a bad guy with a gun is a Sean Hannity with a gun. This guy's got a machine gun. Okay, how are they gonna take him on without a weapon? Or if it's happening within a crowd. If you're in San Bernardino, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, the the the thua, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, th, th, th, thian, thian, th, thi, the thian, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thian, thian, thian, thian, th. th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thean, tooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the, the, a crowd, if you're in San Bernardino, do you want Sean Hannity, who's trained in the safety and use of a firearm in that room?

So when they drop the clip and they start to reload, you got a shot, you got a chance? Okay, Sean, you answered your own question. The shooter was 400 yards away in a hotel room, 32 floors up. But you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi's th, thi's thi, thi's thi's thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and that, and that, and that, that, and that, that, that, that, that, that, and that,'re like, yeah, but if he was down on the ground and close to me and was out of bullets, then I might have a chance to shoot him down. That's like saying if Tyra Banks had no money,

and I had all the money, and she was like, really hungry, I might have a chance. It's not reality. Hannity's fantasy was so ridiculous that even his fox colleague couldn't get on board. Do you want Sean Hannity, who's trained in the safety and use of a firearm in that room? So when they drop the clip and they start to reload, you got a shot, you got a chance? Yeah, wouldn't have done much good at the band-alay. It's 30 second floor unless you had a high-powered rifle to take him out, but your point is well-taken. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Sean, you made absolutely no sense, but'm not gonna lie. He may seem crazy, but after watching that,

I wish Sean Hannity would start his own security service. In a dangerous world, if you need protection, then you need Sean Hannity's private security services. Sean Hannity is trained in kicking ass, throwing footballs indoors, and wearing his hat backwards. So when the crap hits the fan, Hannity's your man. Do you want Sean Hannity, who's trained in the safety and use of a firearm in that room?

So when they drop the clip and they start to reload, you got a shot, you got a chance. If you're threatened by a shooter who is in the room and has run out of bullets, then you've got a chance. Sean Hannity's Private Security Services, total protection in very specific circumstances. We'll be right back. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here.

I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart wherever you get your podcast. It came out last week that Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen, who is now

in deep federal investigation shit, only had three clients in the past year. The president, who Cohen helped to pay off a porn star that he had an affair with. His second client, a major GOP fundraiser named Elliot Brody, who Cohen also helped to pay off a playmate that he had an affair with, right? And then Michael Cohen had one more client, right? Out of seven billion people, seven billion people, who could have wanted to join this club

and use Michael Cohen as a lawyer last year. Only one other person did. And this person's identity was a complete mystery until today. This is CNN breaking news. We are now getting word, the lawyer forthe president, Michael Cohen, has just disclosed in court that the client who had requested to remain unnamed was Sean Hannity of Fox News. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, it turns out Michael Cohen's secret client was Sean Hannity, which I'm sorry, is

not a good look. You know right now, Sean Handy is probably on the phone with his wife, like, hey honey, it's so weird how I use the guy who pays off mistresses to get me out of that parking ticket. It's funny, right? It's funny, right? Just think about how unethical this is for a moment, right? Hannity has been reporting on this Michael Combe story from the beginning, from the beginning, but he conveniently never mentioned that Cohen was his guy,

which even for Sean Hannity is pretty shady. I mean, even Instagram models have higher ethical standards. Because they'll be like, drink tummy tea. By the way, I'm sponkn't, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th-t, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t, tie, tie, tie, tie, tie, tie, tie, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, toooo'''n, too'n, too'n, too'n, ttha-a, t the way, I'm sponsored by tummy tea. They tell you what it is, right? And I'm not expecting him to aspire to the levels of the Kardashians, but come on, Sean. And I'll tell you what else. I'll tell you what else. Once you know that Hannity has personal skin in the FBI raid, because now we can see that Hannity wasn't just mad.

He was scared. President Trump's longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohn, just had his office, his home, and his hotel that he was staying in, raided by the FBI today. This is an unprecedented abuse of power. Cone's payment is a perfectly legitimate business move. Mueller's witch hunt investigation is now a runaway train, careening off the track. Spinning out of control, if you voted for Donald Trump, you better get buckled up because this is going to be a rough ride.

You know, now that we know he was working with Cohen, that looks less like a news show and more like a guy really stressed giving himself a pep talk. It's just like, come on. And obviously everyone thought that Hannity being busted was hilarious. I mean other news networks were laughing, late night hosts, school children, Creatures of the Sea, and in a year that's so divisive. It turned out embarrassing Sean Hannity is the one thing truly everyone can enjoy. Good night from Washington. No one else is talking about Sean Hannity today, but but he's here anyway.

We're really glad to see her. Hey, Sean. Is there any news? Anything happening? All right, thanks, Tucker. I'm just, say this. I'm just, say this. I, you like my brother, but I'm glad appreciate that. You know it says a lot about your news network when all of your top anchors are playing scandal tag

It's like I made fun of the Parkland kids tag you're it I'm out thank God Now even though even though yesterday might have sucked for Hannity. It helped his ratings because everyone tuned in to see what creative excuse He'd come up with to explain his Michael Cohen relationship and the answer was it's complicated. Let me set the record record the record the record the record the record the record the record the record the record the record the record the record the record t. t. the record t. t. t. tune t. tune tune to to t. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the tod today. today. today. te. the te. te. today. te. today. the today. today. the today. today. today. Cohen relationship. And the answer was, it's complicated. Let me set the record straight. Here's the truth. Michael Cone never represented me in any legal matter. I never retained his services.

I never received an invoice. I never paid Michael Cone for legal fees. I did have occasional brief conversations with Michael Cone. He's a great attorney about legal questions I had, or I was looking for input and perspective. He wasn't your lawyer. He just answered your legal questions. How do you not know the definition of lawyer

when your head is shaped like a dictionary? How do you not know this? Seriously, giving legal inputs and perspective is exactly what a lawyer does. Hannity might as well have come out and said he was just my lawyer, but just a tip. Just a tip, guys. Just a tip. Now, what people are really wondering is this. Whatever legal advice was, why didn't Hanody get it from his regular attorney, instead of turning to a guy who's specifically known for paying off mistresses.

Why did he go to him? But according to Hanity, baby, this is not what it looks like. To be absolutely clear, they never involve any matter, any, sorry to disappoint so many, matter between me or third party, a third group at all. And are my questions exclusively almost focused on real estate? Wow, he really slipped in the almost that. Did you hear it? Yeah, it really really?

It was super quick. All the questions to Michael Cone were exclusively almost. Exclusively almost. Exclusively almost. Excusably almost. toe's a voice at the end of the end of the medical thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, the the the thi, the thi, the the thi, the the thi..aa''a'a'a'a'a'a'a'a, thi, thi, You can't say exclusively almost. Exclusively almost is the kind of phrase that makes people ask more questions. If someone tells you that they exclusively almost have sex with adults, you're not hiring them to babysit your kids. That's not what you're thinking of right now. But okay fine, okay fine.

Hanley claims he was just getting some informal real estate advice for Michael Cohen, which makes what he said a few hours earlier on his radio show all the more confusing. I never gave him a retainer, never received an invoice, never paid any fees. You know, I might have handed him 10 bucks, I definitely want you, attorney-client privilege on this, something like that. Okay, okay, whoa, no, whoa, okay. So he's not your lawyer. All you had was a few chit chats about real estate. But you definitely want attorney-client privilege. Yeah, you definitely want that.

What the fuck did you bury under that house? No, I'm just saying, I've had a lot of conversations about real estate. At the end of it, I never went, this never happened. And you know what gets me is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, and, and, thi, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, that.. that. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. the th thi. thi. th is how casually Hannity is trying to minimize his connection to Michael Cohen, like it means nothing. Especially when every other day of the year, he's the guy who can bake a conspiracy cake out of nothing more than an egg and the word Hillary.

Let's talk about a family responsible for actual crimes. We'll call it the head of the notorious political cabal. Of course, Bill and Hillary Clinton, the Clinton crime family. If we're going to go to crime families, let's look at the Mueller crime family. And well, this is near and dear to Comey's heart. We'll call it the Comey crime family. I like how Hannity puts a question mark at the end of each one just to cover his

ass. He's like, I didn't say Mueller runs a crime,, I just said Mueller runs a crime family? Well, you know what, folks, I have a theory of my own. And I honestly think that it's going to bust this whole Hannity Michael Cohen's story wide open. Get ready to have your minds blown. Because I believe I've uncovered a complex criminal network. My theory is that Sean Hannity is a client of Michael Cohen. Look, we may never know the true nature of Hanity and Cohen's relationship, but what we do know is that as someone is discussing Cohen and his case on the air, Hannity, should

have been more transparent, right? He should have said something about it. In fact, what Hanley did was so shady. Even when he tried to talk about other things on his show, his own guests had to call him out. And please, do enjoy. A foreign national using Russian sources of all things to get it. Is that a crime in Alan Dershwitz's book? Well, first of all, Sean, I do want to say that I really think that you should have disclosed your relationship with Cohen when you talked about him on this show. I think it would have been much much better had you disclosed that relationship. You were

in a difficult situation obviously. The nature of it professor I'll go to deal with this later. I understand. It was minimal. I understand. It was minimal. I know you should have said that and that would have been fair to say that it was minimal. That's fine. You had the right to have your identity. I have a a a. I. I. I. I. I. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. I. I. the. the. the. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm.

I.................................................................................................. the................ the way not to have the right to privacy right but you know it's a complex situation when you're speaking to millions of people I think it was such a minor relationship in terms of it had to you should have said that you you should have said that you should have said that you should have said that you should have said that you should have said that you should have said that you should have said that you should have the that that th said the the the the the the the the the th. you th. you the th. you that that that that the the that that the the the the that the the that the. the.

You. You. You the. You the. You the. You the. You the. You the. You should the. You should should the. You should. You should the. You should. You should the. You Dershewitz, he isn't a hater, right? He's been a vocal defender of President Trump and a frequent guest on Hannity's show.

That's how you know that this is bad for Hannity. He's getting called out by someone on his own team. You know what this reminded me of, it reminded me of that one deleted scene from Star Wars when the storm troopersopers called out their boss. Now we can finally destroy the rebels. Sir, real quick, we all think you should have disclosed your relationship with Luke Skywalker. What? I barely know the guy. He's not even my son. It's more like a baby mama thing. Sir, sir, you should have told us. This isn't a big deal.

Ugh, I have a right to privacy. If it wasn't a big deal, why didn't he tell us? What a dick. Yeah, it's true. That scene was exclusively almost from Star Wars. We'll be right back. In other news, we're learning things about what President Trump does before bed at night, and it's even worse than you think.

This week's New York magazine reports that Trump and the Fox News host, Sean Hennedy speak on the phone most weeknights. The report also quotes a former White House official who says Hennity and Fox create a feedback loop that puts Trump in a, weird headspace adding quote what ends up happening is Judge Janine Pirro or Hannity fill them up with a bunch of crazy expletive and everyone on staff has to go and knock down all the expletive fires they started. Okay, okay, you have to admit it's cute that these two talk before bed every night. Yeah, they're like eight year old tree house buddies with those cans on strings, you know, gossiping about which girls they secretly

paid off, you know, or whether it's Yanni or Laurel. It's Laurel, by the way. But that feedback loop part is really weird for me, right? They're saying that President Trump says something outlandish to Hannity on the phone. Handy then repeats it on TV and then Trump watches th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thr, thr, thr-a, thr-s, thr-s, throooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the, thr-s, then repeats it on TV, and then Trump watches that and goes, you see, exactly, that's what I was saying! Trump is like that gorilla getting riled up on what he's doing in the mirror. He's like, you see what he did? And here's my favorite part of this story. White House staff know that the calls happen thanks to the president entering a room and announcing, I just hung up with Hanity or even ringing Hannity up from his desk in their presence.

How are you both the president and a star-fixer? How? Like, no other world leader does that, you realize it?
