>> sean: welcome to "hannity." tonight oregon officials have declared a state of emergency in the city of portland tonight over the growing fentanyl crisis after they decriminalized the hard drugs. sara carter on the ground in portland with a full report. finally a good moment at the grammys. imagine that. will this moment possibly lessen the political divide as many on social media think? decide yourself. first tonight the u.s. senate have released their long-awaited border legislation, and, by the way, it's not just about borders, it's about ukraine, funding $60 billion more, and about israel funding only $14 billion. now this bill does absolutely nothing to secure the border. it would be an unmitigated disaster. by the way, every republican should strongly be opposed to this. it would mandate legal

representation for all illegal immigrants. it adds 50,000 extra employment and family reunification visas. it gives biden the power to funnel asylum claims to ports of entry if more than 5,000 illegal immigrants cross each day, for seven days, after which the ports must process a minimum of 1400 claims a day. what's worse, the power can only be used for a limited number of days. and sunsets after three years. that shows the headlines. in celebration of the deal, far left connecticut, senator chris murphy said, the quiet part out loud on twitter, writing "the border never closes." get this. the one provision in the bill actually allows biden, giving him the power, to not abide by the emergency shutdown authority if he doesn't want to. so, you know, saying it, quote, authorizes the president to suspend the border emergency on

an emergency basis for up to 45 days, it's in the national interest. well, it could be written up as the basically codifying into law all of biden's aiding and abetting of illegal immigration into this country. former president trump, whose policies led to the most secure border in history, the one that joe biden inherited, well, called it a horrendous bill and a gift to democrats. personally i'm really having a hard time understanding even why. senate republicans, why would you ever negotiate this deal? biden doesn't need legislation to fix the border. we've been saying this over and over again. biden's claim otherwise is a flat-out lie. and nothing more than a blatant attempt to shift the blame for the crisis on to republicans. if they're stupid enough to allow that to happen. now, biden was handed the most secure border in our nation's history. with the stroke of a pen in his first hundred days, biden revoked all of donald trump's

efforts to exclude illegal immigrants from the census. he strengthened daca. he ended trump's interior enforcement. he halted border wall construction. he ended the remain in mexico policy, which is extremely successful. he also let title xlii expire. he can reinstate the policies on his own just like he undid them with the stroke of a pen. he doesn't need congress congrel legislation to do that. the house already passed hr-2. why didn't the senate simply take up hr-2, make it part of the big package, although i don't like the idea. i think every bill should stand on its own merits. i don't think foreign policy funding should be connected to the border in any way. i don't think ukraine should be impacted by a border bill. this bill would enact the necessary steps to secure our

border again. that's hr-2. meanwhile a source tells fox news that the day the legislation was released, there were over 6,000 illegal immigrant encounters at the southern border, including 160 chinese nationals that were apprehended in the san diego sector. we've talked about over 26,000 chinese nationals in this country, over 12,000 from russia. what about the ones from iran, syria and egypt and afghanistan? why are chinese nationals pouring over the border in southern california? the problem now has become so bad that even the liberal media can no longer ignore it. take a look at a "60 minutes" segment from last night. >> the number of illegal immigrants is unprecedented. last year u.s. customs and border protection recorded 2.5 million instances of

detaining or turning away people attempting to cross into the united states from mexico. so what's the fastest-growing group among them? chinese migrants. yes, you heard that right. chinese. we sell large groups, including many from the middle class, come through a four-foot gap at the end of a border fence 60 miles east of san diego. the illegal entryway is a new route for those hoping to live in america. >> sean: look at new york city, where the governor, kathy hockey cull, where the mayor, eric adams, no, welcomed illegal immigrants with open arms. we are open. we're a sanctuary state. it's wreaking havoc in new york. this morning no, police officers, they conducted a raid on a venezuelan gang tied to dozens of robberies, and of course the brutal assault on nypd officers last week, showing how truly out of touch he is new york city mayor adams attended

the raid and the press conference thereafter, appearing to wear a fendi scarf. reportedly that scarf cost nearly $700. i glad he's making a lot of money doing a lousy job. here with relax, former senior advisor to president trump, steven miller, and tommy laranas with us. we'll break protect, and start with steven miller tonight. america first legal, your legal group, put out a list of every single thing wrong with this border bill. what have you found? >> well, this this is an as acatastrophic bill, beyond anything any of us could have imagined or feared. for example, sean, this bill gives secretarying mayorkas, unfettered, unrestrained power to mint new citizens out of illegal aliens. what i'm saying is literally

true, not hyperbole. right now they can grant something called credible fear. that's just an initial step on the long road to asylum. the asylum court, the radical left of the radical left. that's the deep state of dhs. this gives them the power to rapidly grant newly-arriving illegal aliens full asylum benefits. mayorkas is the unilateral decider of who gets asylum. what does that mean? you get asylum you get instant access to federal welfare, such as food stamps, public housing, a healthcare. you have a green card. 4 years after that, you could be a full voting american citizen with access to chain migration, and certainly are not going to be deported. this bill also cements and

codifies catch-and-release by saying that if an alien demands or insists upon asylum, they can be released from federal custody, never to be seen or heard from again. as you've suffered, the shutdown authority that purportedly exist in this bill doesn't exist at all. president biden can waive it or decline to enforce it at any point in time, but it's worse than that, because the excess have to be shunted to ports of entry to still be admitted anyways. that means if a future president wants to keep the aliens out, he has to let them in through the ports, whereas under current law right now a president can shut down the ports completely and not let in a single illegal alien. this legislation also, on top of all of that, it completely exempts unaccompanied minors from immigration enforcement. anyone 17 or under gets a free pass to come in to america. that drives the ms-13 problem, drives the gang problem. it also drives the child

trafficking problem of course monstrously. at every single level, this bill enshrines the worst policies of joe biden. it makes it easier to turn illegal aliens into citizens, and hamstrings enforcement, and it's so filled with complicated pages-long exemptions, exceptions and waivers and discretionary authorities that it is impossible to effectively manage the system. it will be the best gift immigration attorneys for illegal aliens and ngos have ever received. >> sean: you know, it's amazing, but tommy, i go back to the simple point, is in the first hundred days when biden has been president, he undid all the trump policies. i only gave you the short list, the ones that matter. stay in mexico. building a wall. title 42, etc. the law is clear on top of that. we cited that on this program many times. that is it is against the law to be doing the things he's doing,

including aiding and abetting in what is by any definition human trafficking. on top of it, we learned last week he's giving a billion taxpayer dollars in benitez to illegal immigrants. that's our money. nobody approved that, or came to the american people and said, are you okay with your money going to illegal immigrants, a billion dollars worth? i don't think most people would be okay with that. >> no. most people are not. what this is, this is a giant trap. once again, the left, they are manipulative, they are smart, they are cunning. they have found a way to once again move the goal posts. then our so-called republican leaders, representatives, senators, they're rushing to this, tickled pink, calling this as an accomplishment, codifying and legitimizing illegal immigration is an accomplishment? once again, the democrats set the rules, bend the rules. as stephen mentioned, there's a loophole next to it that maybe the average american reading it

doesn't immediately realize. this to me amounts to treason. to me it amounts to legitimizing illegal immigration for the foreseeable future. donald trump was able to in four years, able to give us the most secure border, certainly in my lifetime. joe biden could do that tonight. he could do it right now. of course we know he's sleeping. he chooses not to. the democrats are throwing him a lifeline on immigration. republicans are sitting back now they need to take this because somehow it's going to look good for them in the press? no. republicans need to hold the line. the left will cover this anyway. do not give them this out. do not fall for the trap. stand up for the american people and hold the line. any republican that doesn't do that, they should have their name on a list. they should never be elected to political office ever again under the "r" label. >> sean: the only way to stop it, steve miller, if republicans are completely united in the house. that means everyone. that means the ken bucks of the

house conference. they have to be on the same page. otherwise they go to conference, they'll send the bill, they'll be going up for a vote, whether republicans want it or not, and this has a chance of passing. it really does, because of the slim majority of the house republican. >> we're operating on extraordinarily thin margins. obviously we don't have control of the senate. we need everyone in the house, whether it's the two-vote margin right now to support speaker johnson in his statement that this thing is doa, not in this form, not in any similar form. it is completely and totally dead in the house. we need every house republican to standby speaker johnson in that proclamation. this is very simple, sean. and republicans need to get this and drill it into their skulls. the correct position, as a matter of policies, politics and morality. illegal aliens go home. you don't wet 1,000, 2,000, 5,000.

illegal aliens don't come in through airplanes, buses, land entry. anywhere. they don't come in to the country. if you break our laws, violate our sovereignty, you go home. you don't pass go. you don't get $200. you certainly don't become a citizen. and make them defend the joe biden policy of permanent invasion levels of illegal immigration. if you make that the referendum, you will keep the house. you will win the senate. you will prevail at every level up and down the ballot. do not become an accomplice or party to the destruction and eradication of our national sovereignty. it's that basic, that simple, that binary, sean. >> sean: thank you both for being with us. on friday, dr. phil mcgraw visited the southern border in texas, meeting with border patrol officials to witness the ongoing crisis firsthand. he rightly criticized the administration for their failures, calling it, quote, a

humanitarian crisis unlike we've seen before. here with his experience on the border on texas, author of "we've got issues," dr. phil mcgraw. i've always loved your style, which is hard-hitting, penetrating, straight truth, take it or leave it. i'm not worried about your feelings. i'm not sure in this woke world if that's quite as acceptable. i give you credit, though, you went down and you looked at the border yourself. joe biden and kamala harris can't say they did what you did. >> well, sean, thank you. i did go down, because, first off, i'm pro-immigration. you need to understand i think we need immigration in america. we need it for a lot of different reasons. but not the way it's being practiced right now. >> sean: you're pro legal immigration. >> exactly right. >> sean: i'm pro legal immigration. >> we both are. i know that. i went down and talked to these

gentlemen because i wanted to know from a -- you know, one of the most psychological principles, one of the most fundamental psychological principles, you don't reward bad behavior. i wanted to talk to the guys heading this up. i have to tell you, you talk about some impressive troops down there. these guys are fighting a morale battle, because they can't get what they need. and i wanted to know what's happening down here? what's really going on? we hear this number, 6 million people have come across under the current administration. i talked to experts down there that say that number is a myth, that it's closer to 13 million to 14 million that have come across. i asked them straight up, what is it you need here? and i was shocked to hear them say, we don't need more money. we don't need more resources. we don't need more officers. we don't need more legislation.

we just need the laws that are on the books to be followed. we need to be allowed to do our job. and we can get this under control right now. we don't need a bunch more money, officers and legislation, just let us do our job. that's all we need. if you do that, we can get this under control overnight. >> sean: you know, dr. phil, i've been down there myself over the years. probably 12-15 times, horseback, all-terrain vehicles, on foot. you know, i've been out, i've been in the drug were yous rosss, floor to ceiling, drugs that kill our kids. whatever the number is, 8 million, 10 million, when you count gotaways, illegal immigrants, here's the thing nobody else wants to talk about. with supporting illegal immigration, that means every person coming into this country needs to be vetted. they can't have radical ties or associations. we need to know that before they

come here. we need to know, give them a health check in the middle of a post-pandemic world. we need to make sure they're not a financial burden on the american people. very simple stuff. we have people come in from iran, syria, egypt, afghanistan, china and russian, tens of thousands combined from those countries. why do you think they're coming to our southern border? what are the odds that there are terror cells among that large group of people? >> we would be incredibly narcissistic to assume that these people are coming in here just because they're in the neighborhood. they're coming in here with an agenda here, sean. between 2010 and 2020 it's estimated that 1100 chinese came across the southern border. in the first 11 months of '23, it's estimated that 33,000 came across. many of them military-age men. where do they go once they came across the border?

we have no idea. they're not being monitored. they're not being followed. look, in china, you don't just decide, you know what, i think i'll take a trip. they have to go through certain steps to get out of china. it costs a lot of money to get here. when they get here, what are they doing? if they're working in farming? if they're working in industry, i promise you they are expected to do certain things. are they spying? are they sending seeds back from farming to china? are they getting plans from industries they're working in? who knows what they're doing. we don't know. we need to know. the guards tell me -- and i talked to so many of them down there. they said, we're not trying to close the border. what we want to know is who, why and what. who's coming in here. why are they coming. and what is their business? we have the right to know that to control who's coming into this country. as i said, you don't reward bad behavior. you don't subsidize things that you don't want to see more of.

but that's what's happening. the interesting thing that shocked me, sean, if they run into someone in a brown uniform, that's a texas department of public safety border guard, they get arrested, they get put in jail, and they get returned. if they run into a green uniform, that is a federal, they get money and a court date that's seven to ten years down the road, and they get released into the country. so you see these groups coming across, and if they see a brown uniform, they hide. they see a green uniform, they run toward it. that to me is just insane, that we have that kind of difference going on down there with guys working side by side. >> sean: i really give you a lot of credit. i mean, you've spent the time. you went down there. you talked to the people on the frontlines. mark my words, dr. phil, and i pray to god that i'm wrong, that i can one day say i was wrong, among the 10 million or so illegal, unvetted joe biden

immigrants, i guarantee you terror cells are mixed in that group, and they're not coming here because they want a better life for themselves and their family. he will have blood on his hands. that's a national security disaster. clear and present danger. dr. phil, thank you. great to have you back. all right. when we come back, oregon declaring a state of emergency in portland. shouldn't surprise anybody. why? the f fentanyl crisis after they decriminalized the use of hard drugs. and kristi noem, the vp shortrc listho. makes every day... a "let's dig in" day... mm. ...a "chow down" day... a "take a big bite" day... a "perfectly delicious" day... - mm.

>> sean: all right. so back in 2020, voters in

oregon, they decided by a 16-point margin that joe biden should be the president, and police there should stop arresting people for using drugs. they also never punish the people who, by the way, spent the entire summer of 2020 doing a lot of rioting there. of four years later, much of downtown portland is now an open-air drug den with public fentanyl use of city life. it's gotten so bad that the state, the county, the city, have declared a 90-day state of emergency to try to pull the city back from the brink. sounds a little too little too late. our very own sarah carter in portland today asking locals just that question. here's what they told her. >> do you think the fact that made it so accessible has made it to this massive increase in deaths? >> there's no doubt in my mind. there's no consequence. people addicted are addicted. that's just easier to obtain and

use and not have consequences. >> we complain about too much government. when there's not enough government, we have issues like what we're experiencing now, a crisis to where a lot of people are affected and die. >> i think that in portland we just don't have a lot of resources about it. there are a lot of really well-intentioned folks in charge in making decisions, but we haven't seen, like, what they're doing with the money that they've been given, like, after measure 110 passed. >> you know, portland used to be nice. i think they've cleaned it up a little bit, but drug use, all of the things that comes with drug use, has gone horrible here. >> sean: all right. sara carter live in portland tonight with much more. you know, to me this as predictable as the day -- you know, as the sun rising in the east and setting in in the west.

it's that simple to figure out. this is what left wing policies give you. now a state of emergency, how will that work out for the city of portland? >> well, yeah, sean, just to put this into perspective for you, in the county, fentanyl katie have increased 553% since 2018, going up to 2022. they say when the 2023 numbers come in, it's going to far exceed the 553% increase. it's shocking, walking down the street, and you see young people in their early 20s, mid 20s, late 30s, and they're slumped over. they are no longer aware of the world around them. and you know that it's -- it's growing exponentially. others are walking around the city. they carrying narcan on them. i spoke to one mother. she didn't make in our segment right there, but i spoke to one

mother who says she's terrified of what's going to happen to her child. she saw addicts in her own family, and never tried, you know, any drugs because of that, but said what's that going to happen to her kid when she lives in a community everywhere overrun by narcotics and lawlessness. and everyone -- everyone, whether they were young or old that i spoke to, sean -- said there aren't any consequences. just to make matters worse, and you were talking earlier about what was happening at the u.s./mexico border, we know that all these precursor chemicals are coming from china. they're coming into mexico and latin america. it is there that these fentanyl tablets and pills are being produced. and then they're shipped into the united states. many of the deaths that are occurring now are not just due to overdose. they're actual killings, people taking a percocet, a bill, thinking it's that pill, and it isn't, it is pure fentanyl, and it's killing them.

we're in an extraordinary crisis here in the united states. i can say this, many people wonder how far this is going to go. portland is just a microcosm of what's happening in so many other cities across our country, sean. it's really frightening and shocking. >> sean: all right, great job, sara carter in oregon tonight. we appreciate it. now, as joe biden continues his border standoff with the state of texas, a group of republican governors, well, they headed to the lonestar state this past weekend to show their support. frankly, i think there would have been a showdown if that didn't happen. all the republican governors supporting greg abbott. kristi noem made her own visit to the border last week and pledged to send troops and razor wire to help texas. this past weekend, during an interview on "sunday morning futures," trump said, confirmed

what i said a number of times. and kristi noem is on the shoplifter list to be his running mate. take a look. >> i don't anybody to take an inference. it's incredible. kristi noem has been incredible fighting for me. she said i'd never run against him, because i can't beat him. that was a very nice thing to say. >> sean: here with more, author of "no going back," governor christie nome is with us. governor, before i get to the question i want to ask about trump, maybe being chosen as vp, his running mate, i don't think governor abbott would have been able to withstand whatever that deadline meant to joe biden had it not been for you and ron desantis, all the republican governors, they deserve credit, that stood by governor abbott's side. if you didn't stand with him in solidarity, i'm not sure if biden wouldn't have precipitated a real crisis down there. >> yeah. sean, i went the actual day that

shutdown was supposed to happen. people ask me why, when i heard the news, i immediately the next day was at the border, and it was because of what i heard democrats encouraging the president to do. they were encouraging president biden to activate our national guard soldiers so they would would stand down. he was going to take control of our south dakota national guard and actually activate them so they would not protect america. so recognizing the real threat that was to states' rights, how it would be the first time in history a president would pay a soldier to not fight, to not protect our country, made me show up in texas the next day to let governor abbott know i'm here, south dakota is with you, we will defend our constitution, our rights, because the last several years we've seen democrats take away our freedom of religion, our freedom of assembly, our freedom of speech. we can't let them take our states' rights too, especially our rights to protect ourselves. >> sean: let me ask the

interview that president trump had, making comments about you and the vice presidency. hypothetically, i've scud that question a number of times. i said you'd be on everybody's short list. i believe that to be true now. he specifically mentioned you and tim scott. what's your reaction? >> that's kind of him. i support trump's policies. >> sean: kind of him? >> well, he and i talk quite often. he's a man who has strong policies, and always puts america first. that's my priority too. at the end of the day no matter what policy you're talking about, it has to be fighting for america first, or else there's no other place we can go and live a better life and have more opportunities. you know, it was very kind of him to say that. he always is fun to listen to. i don't know how long his short list is. he may have 50 people on his short list. who knows. i think he should pick somebody that will tell him the truth, be

a good partner, and help him win, because he needs to win for the sake of our future. >> sean: if my name was brought up, i'd be maximus. do you accept this? no, i don't need that headache. the national media is brutal to whoever that person will be. we see how they've treated president trump, how every republican is treated. 273 days until election day. governor, great to have you. i appreciate that all that you and the other governors have done to support governor abbott. all right. when we come back, you won't believe what biden calls both president trump and president netanyahu behind closed doors. pretty realizing. we'll get newt gingrich's reaction. and we have a good news story straight ahead. what a shock.

jorge has always put the ones he loves first. but when it comes to caring for his teeth he's let his own maintenance take a back seat. well maybe it's time to shift gears on that. because aspen dental has the latest technology and equipment. with a staff that goes out of their way to provide exceptional care. plus free exams and x-rays for new patients without insurance and 20% off treatment plans. making it easier to get started with quality care. it's one more way aspen dental is in your corner.

>> sean: in spite of the media trying to will at joe biden's poll numbers are not getting better. a new nbc news poll showing biden trailing donald trump by five points. and trump beats biden by 23 points when it comes to who's more physically and mentally fit for the job. by the way, trump trailed biden in 2020 in that department by nine points. no wonder that biden is lashing out at trump in private, reportedly calling him a sick f-word, and an f'ing a-word, and apparently he's now turned on israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who biden is reportedly calling a bad f'ing guy. the white house denies the report. regardless, biden has given up

on the charade of being a kind man, like a grandfather figure, but he's revealing himself to be an arrogant politician he's always been, and this has biden has refused to hold iran accountable, letting everyone know his plans ahead of time. why? got to make sure the terrorists and people responsible can escape. and of course locking is in an endless cat and mouse game with the houthi rebels, more interested in fighting global warming than taking on our enemies. >> for years the former president has stoked the fires of hate and bigotry and racism and xenophobia for his own power and political gain. >> sean: maybe she wants to

remember what she said about her own boss, just in case she forgot we didn't. take a look. >> when vice president biden was in the united states senate working with segregationists to oppose bussing, had i been in the united states senate at that time i would have been completely on the other side of the aisle. and it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose bussing. you know, there was a little girl in california who was part of the second-class to integrate her public schools. she was bussed to school every day. and that little girl was me. >> sean: all right. here with reaction, former house speaker newt gingrich. that was stopping the integration of public schools, didn't want them to be racial jungles, but the media has given him a pass on that, and kamala became his vice president. pretty amazing history there. >> look, i think on the left,

whatever they have to say, whatever they have to do to keep power they're going to do. that's a reality. but i have to say, sean, tonight, really for the first time, i'm beginning to think maybe biden will not be the nominee. i say that because the rate of his cognitive decline, the number of recent examples, where he couldn't remember what he was saying, or couldn't remember who he was talking to, you could imagine with the weakness at the border, the weakness that we just hear a report about from portland with drugs, the weakness in iran, the weakness in ukraine, at some point there may be a genuine rebellion in the democratic party that says we can't put this guy up this fall, because he'll be helpless. the nbc news report, the poll they did, was devastating. almost a day later, cnn had a similar poll.

it's very clear that biden right now is drifting into jimmy carter territory, where people just think he's not competent. it ain't working. in their personal listens, they think that he's causing them enormous problems. >> sean: okay. when you lose as a democratic presidential incumbent, the likes of david axelrod, van jones, james carville, and maureen dowd, they're pretty prominent voices in democratic circles. when you lose all of them, that's probably the canary in the coal mine that you are going to be right. if you are right, who replaces him and when? do they do it at the convention? a lot of people speculating michelle obama. i personally don't see it. it's obviously a possibility. who replaces him? >> well, look, i mean i think the biggest argument in favor of his survival is your question. you know, kamala harris could

make the argument she should be the replacement. in the left wing of the democratic party would be fine. the rest of the country would recoil in horror and she would lose in a landslide. you know, you could have the governor of california, you've had on to debate ron desantis, the governor of michigan or pennsylvania. it's hard to imagine michelle obama, but i have close friends, who are very smart, who are absolutely convinced she's going to be the replacement, because she trumps kamala harris in being a black woman on a national ticket. so i think part one is how do you talk dr. jill and president biden into agreeing to go back to delaware to bicycle the refs of their lives when -- the rest of their lives when they have all this stuff. part two, does it get bad enough that the average delegate says we can't do this to the country. not just about winning an election. you want four more years of this

rate of decay, of this rate of not knowing what you're doing? and then as you point out, the other real problem, which is historic, is the middle east is a mess, and it's getting worse. ukraine is a mess. and it's getting worse. there's no indication at all that joe biden has the capacity to help the united states get through this difficult period. i would not -- until tonight, it just hit me, it's all coming in, and it made me realize that we really have to think about the possibility that he may just collapse -- the plausibility. that's where the nbc poll and the follow-on cnn poll are a real warning to the democrats. remember also, in the nbc poll, the republicans are now ahead by a significant margin. which party do you want to have run the congress? if you're a democratic operative, you're looking at a catastrophe at least comparable

to 1980 with ronald reagan. you begin to think, you know, well, what do we do to avoid this? the answer can't involve joe biden. >> sean: i think you may be proven right. i saw an image this weekend of him going up, like, three or four stairs, and it was like you had to hold him with all your strength. it was not a pretty sight. speaker gingrich, good to see you. thank you. when we come back, shocking polls for biden tracking trump. lara trump will weigh in. apparently she's in charge of the whole south carolina primary.ys d that's what i've been told. just a rumor. straight ahead. me shredded! the world is full of "health experts"... it's time we listen to science. one a day is formulated with b vitamins to help convert food into fuel. science that matters. ♪ ♪

>> sean: key demographics from 2020, they are now souring on the president. "usa todayy" poll finding that biden's support among african americans now down 24% just since 2020. instead of blaming the president and his bad policies, democrats are just blaming disinformation. but it's not just african american voters that are turning on biden. biden is now down 39 points, percentage points, among hispanic americans since 2020. trump now taking the lead among that demographic, trump is up 4% among voters under 35, another group that biden won by a big margin in 2020. joining us now, t lara trump is with us. look, if half of these numbers hold, a quarter hold, he wins re-election hands down. why us is he losing the base ofs party, biden? >> sean, take a look around.

every single person in this country has felt the negativity of his presidency. black americans, that's a key voting bloc that the democrats rely on to win re-election for joe biden. without that voting bloc, they have a big problem. in 2020, he told black americans if they didn't vote for him, they weren't black. typical identity politics, typical racist policies of the democratic party. joe biden made life harder for everyone, including and especially a lot of these low-income communities around america. you contrast that with donald trump. think back to what donald trump did. he went in those places, he created opportunities, sean, so these people could get a leg up, so communities left behind, could have hope of a brighter future. you saw the lowest black unemployment under donald trump ever in the united states

history. then of course you have the 1994 clinton crime bill. joe biden, by the way, sponsored that. that disproportionately locked up young black men for decades in america. who was it? donald trump reversed that with the first step-back. people remember, especially in this country right now, the differences between donald trump being in office and joe biden, but it doesn't matter the color of your skin right now, sean. everyone is suffering under a biden presidency. i guess the democrats are hoping and banking on the idea that more people hate donald trump than hate their current quality of life. people are smart. they're waking up. they're seeing the truth. they know that life was better under donald trump. >> sean: you know, by the way, there's a rumor circulating that you alone are in charge of the entire south carolina campaign. i don't know if there's any truth to that. you know, a little birdie told me you were going to be in

charge. we had kristi noem on earlier. her name was mentioned. tim scott's name got mentioned for possible vp choices. if your father-in-law comes to you, who do you recommend? >> i want someone who is an america first patriot. we need to make sure we have someone with the same kind of love for this country that my father-in-law has. let's face it, we're going to get four more years of donald trump, ladies and gentlemen. i will make sure of that. certainly in south carolina. certainly in my home state of north carolina. then we need someone to carry the mantel on for the next eight years in this country. so whoever it is, i can tell you, sean, he's going to make the best pick. he knows who that person is. i trust him to make that decision. >> sean: what do you think of that one nbc poll that says, okay, if the former president is convicted than he goes from a five-point lead to a two-point deficit? i'm not sure any of these cases ultimately are going to be tried this year with all the pretrial motions being filed here, there and everywhere.

you know, the d.c. case in paint, what's happening in georgia with fanny willis another case. at what point does it become election interference if they're trying a top candidate of a top political party? >> oh, it's been election interference since the very beginning, sean. that's what this is all about. these people are using the least democratic means possible to try to rig an election. whether you're looking at it from all of the indictments that you're referencing, or trying to take him off the ballot in certain states, let the people of this country decide. they will make that decision. it should not be decided via the judicial system or any other means. it is we the people who decide. if you let us vote, donald trump will be the 47th president of the united states. >> sean: i love the main talking point of democrats. this is democracy in peril as they try to get somebody's name off a ballot to prevent the american people for even voting,

having the chance to vote for somebody. >> right. >> sean: lara trump, great to see you. congrats on your podcast performance. coming up, the grammys last night. praise from both sides of the aisle. some people think it will bring some people think it will bring about world peace. next. al solutions to perfect your process. ♪ fastsigns. make your statement™.
