Fox News host Sean Hannity labeled the press as “fake news” after President Donald Trump called him up to the mic at his Missouri rally on Monday night.

WATCH:

“We like Lee Greenwood and he has been with us from the beginning. He has been with us absolutely from the beginning. While we are talking about incredible people, let’s get it over with, right?” Trump said. “So I have a few people that are right out here and they’re very special, they’ve done an incredible job for us, they’ve been with us from the beginning also. I’m going to start saying Sean Hannity, come on up, Sean Hannity.”

“By the way, all those people in the back are fake news,” Hannity stated. (RELATED: Limbaugh Reveals What D.C. Thinks Of Trump Supporters)

“Mr. President, I did an opening monologue today and I had no idea you were going to invite me up here,” he continued. “The one thing that has made and defined your presidency more than anything else, promises made, promises kept, four and a half million new American jobs, 4.3 million Americans off food stamps, 4 million Americans out of poverty, and we are not dropping cash loads — cargo planes of cash to Iranians that chant ‘death to America.’ Mr. President, thank you.”

Hannity was called up by the president despite having tweeted earlier in the day that he was not going to talk during the rally but would be interviewing Trump before it. Fox News also said the same thing.

The president also brought Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro onto the stage later in the rally.

The eleventh-hour Missouri rally was meant to give one final push to Republican Senate candidate Josh Hawley, who hopes to upset Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill in the Senate. They are in a hotly contested race that is viewed as one of the seats most likely to flip.

This was Trump’s last rally before the midterm elections on Tuesday.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
