reporting live from tucson, arizona. in four short days, former president and nikki haley will square off in south carolina republican primary. president trump will hold commanding lead. new suffolk poll leading nikki haley 28 points in her home state. bringing his lead in real politics average over 25. would be natural for things to tighten days leading any primary. despite haying huge deficit in her home state, nikki haley delivered a speech earlier today announcing she will not be dropping out of this race any time soon. she has been struggling verses after coming third in iowa, losing by double digits new hampshire and option quote none of these candidates 30 points in nevada. pressure on former governor in
6:02 pm
her home state. if she doesn't win home state saturday or if she even loses by double digits, where does she see a path to the no, ma'am medication pressure on governor haley. president trump continues to campaign vigorously and earlier tonight sat down with laura ingraham for a town hall in south carolina. two covered number of topics, including possible surprise campaign strategy based off a shocking new poll watch this. >> you maybe campaigning in the bronx manhattan, when might that be is this >> very soon, south bronx and queens an other areas, i think mayor has been told to take a backseat. they came after him like they were going to indict him.
6:03 pm
now he become quiet. these are fascists we are dealing with. terrible people. we have 400,000, 500,000 illegal migrants new york, madison avenue. they are sleeping on fifth avenue, horrible. i think there is a chance to win new york. >> hannity: left continues to pursue end less witch hunt. laura ask if he was worried about become a prisoner? >> i am the leading candidate. i got indicted four times, eight or nine trials all because of the fact, you know this, all because i am in politics. they indicted me on things so ridiculous. >> laura: do you see yourself as a potential political prisoner
6:04 pm
in the united states? because that is their goal to put you in jail for the rest of your life? >> if i were losing in the polls they wouldn't be talking about me. >> laura: if you retired from politics. >> hannity: trump continues to surge, joe biden struggled apparent. walking up the small stairs, not the big stairs, once again appeared to stumble before cat catching himself. according to one "new york times" publisher white house extr extremely upset with comments on his age and unpopularity. does the white house expect them to ignore what are the obvious
6:05 pm
daily struggles of what is a very weak, frail, and cogn cognitively-compromised president? biden's failures can't be hidden. biden's approval rating unmitigated disaster, 38% approving of joe and job he has done as president. when you dive into the numbers only gets worse issue of inflation has been the cornerstones of bidenomics running completely out of control since he took office. only 34% approve of his job performance. after dealing with the fallout of open borders policy over three years, wreaked nothing but havoc across every corner of our country, 26% approve of his performance on issue of immig
6:06 pm
immigration. still blaming trump. new poll out of deep blue new york, my former home state chose joe up 12 points on donald trump. receiving under50%. this is one of the most liberal states in the country. this is a state joe biden won by well over 20 points 2020. securing over 60% of the vote at the time. what does all of this mean for joe biden as the 2024 campaign heats up? not good. gallop report, politico and economic indicators quote not promising for biden stating the obvious. in fact report goes on to say presidents with approval ratings 50% or higher close to election day are re-elected. last gallop poll from january,
6:07 pm
what was joe's approval rating? it was 41%. with biden's poll numbers contin continuing to plum et, alarm bells sounding for democrats. alarms going 24/7. 538s nate silver wrote a scathing piece about the biden campaign. he is losing now, no plans to fix problems other than hoping the polls are wrong. here with action, lisa booth and charlie hurt. former arkansas governor mike huckabee good to see you all. elise, that is a lot to absorb. we are on the verge of south carolina. home state for governor haley. she seems to be getting more aggressive by the day. it has gotten heated.
6:08 pm
south carolina always heated. you can go back to george w. bush bush and john mccain. pretty nasty race during the day. >> you asked where is the path, she knows there is none. the weakness of her candidacy, she had to lie to us to get everyone to watch the press conference. she had to punk us and get people to believe she is dropping out. there is no path. she knows she is not going to win. i think what se she wants is pats on the head. she wants to be part of the club. i want to mention one thing watching trump town hall. we don't have to live like this, sean. we can have a strong economy, strong border and respected
6:09 pm
again. we need a change at the white house and that is donald trump. i hope americans are watching, it can be different. has been and will be again hopefully. >> sean: governor, particularly amused. i find it bewildering for the main stream mob. i view them as an extension, what they should be reporting on. they are upset main stream media can ignore what they tried to ignore almost four years, joe's physical and cognitive decline. they are upset in the white house obvious spoken. i don't think they have any choice at this point.
6:10 pm
>> it took a beach towel to dry my tears, you have turned into a new york refugee having to leave your home state because of the wonderful reception. white house is whining, they don't think they are being treated well. welcome to our world. boy are they having a hard time adjusting to tiny bit of criticism. look what donald trump has been -- relentless attack personally, legally, economically, socially in every way and still standing up and fighting and a lot of americans are coming to donald trump and saying nobody else can take what he has put up with and keep getting up every morning and fighting for us.
6:11 pm
>> sean: let's get your take, charlie, horse race in the news, heading into south carolina. i understand defiance, nikki haley came out, she had been getting more aggressive against president trump always aggressive himself he doesn't apologize. is that going to work in the final days leading up to this primary saturday? >> i don't think it is at all. she has had a lot of problems, i would say with her campaign all along. starting with the fact she run that i am woman, hear me roar-campaign. almost like she borrowing techniques from democrats. weird way to run in the republican party. i think lisa is exactly right, idea she has to punk and trick people into covering one of her campaigns, is further proof, it
6:12 pm
really is over. it appears she'll get beaten in south carolina. hopefully figures out how to get out honorably and focus on the general election. if this election is about sdsh whether he should be in jail, if it is about the issues that people care about, like the economy, and like the border and like crime, donald trump should win this with 80% of the vote. 80% of americans across political and economic, race, gender, 80% of americans want the america donald trump is talking about and demonstrated he can bring. nobody wants this world that joe biden has given us. >> sean: yeah, you know, governor huckabee, it is funny,
6:13 pm
donald trump said i am probably one more indictment being guaranteed i'll get re-elected. [laughter] only he would come up with that line. you have to admit there is some truth. always said he seems to defy conventional political gravity. gets indicted poll numbers go up. arranged poll numbers go up. mug shot, he is selling more t-shirts online than anybody could ever wish for. how do you describe this phenomenon? have they so overreached and weaponized justice system so much, impossible has happened. guy as strong at donald trump has he become a victim? >> he has become a martyr in some ways. people in america aren't as dumb
6:14 pm
as the democrats think they would be. they see through this. see through political persecutions. joe with open boxes of records in his garage records he was event supposed to have and gets little g, we are not going to prosecute. you are old and don't know what is going on. donald trump gets a raid and through his wife's closet. honestly, sean, more they try to tear him down, stronger he gets. nikki haley when she says chaos follows donald trump what she should admit, the reason chaos follows donald trump. it is the fbi, irs, c.i.a., doj creating chaos for him.
6:15 pm
he is the one guy that might have the capacity to stand up to it but to organize it and put it down once and for all and give this country back to the people who should own it. >> sean: let me ask you, lisa, novali. this was the opposition leader in russia seems to be murdered by that thug dictator by the name of vladimir putin. nothing surprises me. a lot of people have tried to make the case if republicans want border secure first, america first policy. if they want our budget in balance first before we consider more aid to ukraine. it is not like we haven't given aid to ukraine. granted everything you want to say about putin being evil. i agree. evil, murder dictating thug.
6:16 pm
entered sovereign country and murdered women and children. 75 billion dollars of tax payor money a lot. american people if we secure the border. if they did get the budget in balance, they should make it a loan, not a gift, then they might be able to open the door to that. democrats say if you insist on securing border first and not willing to allow in 5,000 people a day, must be putin apologist. no. i don't know any conservative that is a putin apologist. i see him for what he is, who he is, he is evil. >> there is a sense of irony donal donald trump persecuted by enemies and democrats. i don't think ukraine can win this thing. we don't know what we are spending our money on, no
6:17 pm
accountability. no transparency. ukraine has a history of corruption, so does joe biden and family. i would like to see a deal as opposed to throwing money at the problem. but you know look, i want to make one point what governor huckabee said, doj taken away joe biden's trump card. his whole argument other guy is worse. americans know that is not true. we saw what things looked like under trump and joe biden. now we know joe biden is a crook. he mishandled classified information since 1970s. so i think the muddy -- waters have become muddied. joe biden no long every has any argument to make heading into 2024.
6:18 pm
>> sean: charlie, i don't think the republicans, slim as their majority is in the house, they are not supposed to be potted plants, right? i think for them to insist on secure borders and budget in balance 34 trillion in debt. no new york city more giveaways. maybe loans. maybe help in another way. that seems to be the right political formula. look at previous primaries, all show american people are tired of nearly 10 million illegal, unvetted, joe biden's immigrants crossing our border. there is no vetting. countries, china, russia, afghanistan, syria, iran. not vetted. we'll get into more detail later in the program. that is 80/20. 85/15. maybe 90/10 issue in terms of
6:19 pm
what the american people want. i want them to fight for that. >> absolutely. biggest mistake republicans on capitol hill made they didn't agree to die on the hill of protecting our border closing the border. they should have decided both chambers, we will shut down the entire government to force this administration to enforce laws and seal the border. stop border invasion. they failed to do that. what they wound up doing proving oeven more important than republican majority in house and senate. having donald trump as president in the white house. only way we are going to secure the border is tf at the top of our executive branch president trump willing to do whatever it takes to secure the border. governor huckabee talking about the issue of chaos that nikki
6:20 pm
haley is talking about. he is exactly right. idea that you are going to criticize donald trump for being nexus of chaos, it really is his opponents. donald trump elected to be a disrupter. chaos comes with that. politics nice and sweet that is not where we are. reason donald trump elected in 2016 and again in 2024 because people want disruption in washington. they don't want this to keep going the way it is going. i think republicans are the less bad party on capitol hill. but even they don't get it done. only donald trump in the white house gets these things done. >> sean: exit question for all three of you, unless and until -- >> these are always tricky.
6:21 pm
>> i didn't hear what you said, unless and until governor haley gets a win or single digits, even should donald trump strategically, governor huckabee, you are a smart politician, should he engage or ignore? >> ignore her. focus on biden. focus on what he did do for the american people ignore opposition from within. frankly immaterial. >> sean: lisa? >> ignore. she has to hoodwink us into watch ago press conference. there is not a path for her. donald trump is the guy. ignore nikki haley. have your sights set on joe biden. >> even press moved on. donald trump should direct all
6:22 pm
fire power on democrats and joe biden. >> sean: always good to have you. chaotic scene inside illegal immigrant shelter in new york city all caught on tape. that is a new normal according to the mayor. check in with larry cudlo and much more as we continue tonight. >> michael: mike: mike huckabee
6:23 pm
6:24 pm
trufrp trufrp trufrp >> donald trump: >> donald trump: ...
6:25 pm
6:26 pm
>> sean: all right joe biden border crisis continues to create absolute chaos in america's big cities, small towns all across the country. every town every city is a border city. one shelter in new york when
6:27 pm
police tried to make an arrest, look at this. >> sean: this should not happen in this country. new york mayor eric adams, this is just something that happens these days, wow. take a look at this. >> do you have bad actors, yes. things have potential to happen. even the most peaceful person being confined to area with 3,000 people, even if you are the most peace. person comes a time when it irritates you. this is what happens when you get this national problem on a city. we need national government to
6:28 pm
assist and resolve in this problem. >> sean: meanwhile state of michigan asking residents to take in what they call refugee, aka immigrants it will create a more inclusive michigan. to governor gretchen whitmer, what happens if an immigrant hurts the family? who would bear the responsibility? you. massachusetts they have asked to house illegals. maybe because the state is spending so much to care for them. one catering company getting paid 10 million dollars to pay illegal immigrants for six months. state has contracts for housing illegals totally more than 116
6:29 pm
million dollars, one city. in some cases, hotels collecting money from the state for three meals a day, 16 bucks, breakfast, 17 bucks breakfast, $31 for dinner. whopping, $64 a day per person. add in cost of education, health care, policing, law and order. massive, massive financial burden on every person. not just massachusetts every city, state, town. here with reaction, larry kudlow back on the show. larry, good to see you my friends. would you consider adopted unvetted illegal immigrant family? i would feel bitter if they were vetted with no radical associations and know something about them.
6:30 pm
prefer they respect laws, borders, sovereignty. wi beat the hell out of cops in time square. flip the bird to new york on the way to the sanctuary state of california for free health care. wow, are we that dumb of a country? >> thanks for having me, sean. president trump put it very well tonight in his town haul with laura ingraham. he called it "migrant crime." all the examples you are giving, going after cops on the street. going after cops and people in shelters. going after prisons. worse than our home grown criminals. migrant crime. if joe biden stayed at the beach and just let the wall built and remain in mexico and catch and deport we wouldn't have this
6:31 pm
problem. biden overturned all the trump policies. now stuck with migrant crime. grif jenkins talking to me, bill maluja. asia, china, kazakhstan, india, we are getting spies, criminals, terrorists. we are giving them green cards. we are giving them work permits. another thing grif jenkins showed me. remain in mexico cards. they have them. as they come over the border, they drop the cards. they don't want border fofficias to see them because they want entry into the united states. governor abbott in texas right.
6:32 pm
put up barriers, chicken wire, whatever, i would say wall. he put up chicken wire. now crisis moved from texas to san diego. which is where malujon reporting from tonight. barriers work, wire works. what doesn't work is joe biden doesn't want to do it. he is going to sign executive order soon before state of the union that will make the story even worse, wait and see. >> sean: republicans, if they with hold strong, remain in mexico has to come back. finish the wall. if you get those things, razor wire at eagles pass in texas with governor abbott. if we are going to help countries out against real evil,
6:33 pm
why can't it be -- donald trump talked about iraq, they should pay us back in oil. america cannot afford to be fighting proxy wars. you know the numbers better than everybody especially with 34 trillion dollars in debt. i fear what happens, trillion dollars a year debt payment. before we spend one time of social security, medicare, defense, scares me. >> latest biden baseline from cbo, sean, will be at 48 trillion dollars publically held debt. or nearly 120% of gdp. that number 48% of gdp few years ago before biden took office. we have a major problem. come back to new york.
6:34 pm
eric adams, "stuff happens." silliest thing i have ever seen. he is going to giver them debit cards. new york post, cost about two and a half billion dollars did he believe cards, sean! come over, we are going to give you money whether you break border laws, or whether you come here and rob stores, go after cops, prisons, shelters, doesn't matter, we are going to help you out. this is nuts. this is insanity. that is why this is a big national issue. i will say this you are going to need a tough guy. trump tough to stop this. >> sean: you know, larry, you are not short on compassion,
6:35 pm
these incidents attacking cops, that is something that happens. these are different times. >> more insanity. give you debt card, sean, thanks for having me. >> sean: apartly they have given him $500,000 a month. i don't know. where is that money coming from. larry kudlow thank you. when we come back, hunter biden's lawyers felt the need to clarify something came out in special counsel court filing. lawyers say images purported to show cocaine, it is actually saw dust. this is a test for all of you at home. we'll show you the picture, you get to decide straight ahead. ♪♪

>> sean: all right things are not going so well for members of joe biden's family. daughter ashley reportedly had to pay off $5,000 in taxes in pennsylvania. if republican would have been in jail. lawyers for hunter biden had to explain a filing this photo look at that photo, from his phone that the government, prosecutors claim show lines of cocaine. that is what the government prosecutors say. they are saying that is saw dust. take a good luck at the saw dust in perfect lines, we'll let you decide that. hunter was also moved to dismiss entire federal tax case saying among other things, victim of selective and vindictive
6:41 pm
prosecution. joe's brother, jim, just exposed for ledgeedly using joe's name to profit a hospital company promising he could get joe to join company's board and take a financial state and secure financial investments in the mideast. that company went under. jim biden paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. clearly jim has questions. he'll be faced with them tomorrow as part of biden impeachment inquiry. reached out to the bidens for comment. yet to hear back i am shocked. fox news contributor, jonathan. your analysis really biting and
6:42 pm
tough. forget about the $5,000 tax delinquency, most cases nothing to be fair. consultant jim biden had no experience running hospitals. he did understand the federal government. he got paid. hospital went under. how does that look to you? what would you call that? >> doesn't look good. some of us have been writing about that company for years. reason that is important, present biden repeatedly suggested he didn't know anything about the business deals of his son. he expressed lack of knowledge of influence peddling by his family. that is demon stra bli untrue.
6:43 pm
his brother didn't try to make this subtle. he harkened his connections to his brother. ability to use that name on his official pitches. and so, present biden had to know that his son and brother were influenced peddling. you have to stop and ask yourself what does that mean? influence peddling is corrupt. form of corruption united states government. if the president knew son and daughter influence peddling using his name to gain benefits, he was also corrupt. also not true money has to go to present biden to constitute ill gotten gains of influence peddling or corruption. courts have said repeatedly money going to family mbs is a
6:44 pm
form of corruption. we have to cut through non sense, as this evidence builds against the biden family. >> sean: you started out your comments by saying something that is almost entirely dismissed by everyone in the main stream media. joe biden as a candidate as president said i never spoke to anybody for that matter about foreign business deals not one time. what have we learned? there were all these show corporations. he is talking about 10s of millions of dollars, russia, china, kazakhstan, romania, grandchildren being paid. yet it is dismissed.
6:45 pm
lie dismissed. that is not a small insig lie. that is big lie in light of devon archer's testimony he knows of 20 plus phone calls big guy on with hunter and foreign business partners. timeline of leveraging to get prosecutor in ukraine fired so his at the time drug addicted son could be paid millions. nobody else in the media wants to talk about that, jonathan. i would hope there is a little bit of intellectual honesty. >> it is a case of willful blindness. simply won't report the facts, categorically -- house committees shredded president's claims. archer talked about calls being
6:46 pm
made to the president, dinners he called on speakerphone. other associates talked about dinners. it is a tissue of lies at this point. >> sean: really, you know, pretty amazing double standard. it is one standard, hilary clinton, clintons, one standard for bidens, whole other different standard for donald trump which is why i think he is defying conventional political gravity. every tie that i mean attack him, indict him, poll numbers go up. big update in kansas super bowl parade shooting. more highlights from laura's exclusive town hall, former president trump. they were in south carolina. more straight ahead as we continue.

[laughter] somebody says he looks great in a bathing suit.
6:53 pm
he cancelled everything, remain in mexico, cash and release. we have catch and release but in mexico. >> sean: he talked about who his vice presidential running mate might be. here with reaction, jason chavetz who do you think would be the best vp option besides yourself? >> jason: we had four years under donald trump. they were quite good. i happen to think this election is about security in your wallet, home, neighborhood, border, overseas. donald trump dominates on all of those. not only against the republican candidates out there. also in the general election. that is why he is surging.
6:54 pm
he has a fun way to communicate. here is this billionaire. communicates so well with blue color people. republicans have a bench for vice president. not being nikki haley smile on everybody's face. senator tim scott strong candidate. other two people strong candidateseses congressman john ratcliff. and robert o'brien former national security adviser. they worked side by side with donald trump for years. he trusts them, know each other and work hard. compatible and both be great vice presidents as well. >> sean: i would like your take on this, media, donald trump mixing up vice president harris. with pelosi, somebody, i don't remember. you know, i am listening, they
6:55 pm
are trying to make a comparison. joe biden, who i would argue has not had a clean event meaning issue free, mumbling, stumbling, not knowing whether to exit stage left or right or walk straight in months. donald trump has -- he is old and cognitively impaired like joe. there is no comparison. not even bay long shot! mob, media. that was their attempted narrative. i don't think it is working. >> they can't defend joe biden so they try to attack trump. did you see earlier tonight, they have biden going up baby stairs air force one there he is tripping. there is a report when he comes down the baby stairs.
6:56 pm
it is not the full stairs you would exit air force one majestically, they have a secret service agent stationed to potentially catch him! that is what is going on. [laughter] he is incompetent can't be president. if he runs he'll get his ass kicked. i don't think he will be the nominee. >> sean: i tend to agree. baby steps. clay, good to see you, jason, thank you. more >> hannity: straight ahead. ♪♪
