have the best weekend with the ones you love. that's always the payoff, see you monday. ♪ >> welcome to the special edition of "hannity," the road at 22020, just 102 days left to election night. i'm jason chaffetz and tonight for sean and in the hour we will tell you how the democratic party to plans to radically transform this country into a far left utopia. we start in portland, oregon, where city leaders hate trump so much that they are willing to let their own city burn in order to prove just how woke they really are. the portland riots are now on night 58 with no end in sight,

but mayor ted wheeler seems to cherish the anarchists who are destroying his city. because of course, things are going so well, he wants federal law enforcement officers to leave town. and joe biden is accusing federal officers of using "egregious tactics." these officers are protecting a federal courthouse which has been firebombed, vandalized, covered in graffiti and broken into in multiple locations. do you want to live in ted wheeler's america, do you want to be governed by mob rule? do you want to bend it to the knee of violent extremist? because that's what you will get nationwide if joe biden is elected. joining us now with more is civil rights attorney leo

correll and fox news contributor lawrence jones. lawrence jones has a special one nation, and that sunday night at 10:00 p.m. gentlemen, thank you so much. nationally syndicated radio host larry elder will be joining us momentarily, he's got a radio program and he's jumping upstairs to come join us. but leo, let me start with you. this is 58 nights of riots. these images are going out to america, i don't get it. joe biden says that, these are egregious tactics by the feds, are you kidding me? >> you know what, i wish every democratic mayor and democratic governor take constitutional l

law. and to prosecute people who commit federal crimes. the defacing of federal buildings is a crime and what's amazing is these democratic cities are being burned. and let's not call these people protesters. these other two democratic cable networks, they won't show this. the extreme maker of these groups, they are not protesters, they are criminals. joe biden should be ashamed of himself. but guess what, police officers are backing donal donald j. tru, that's chaos and lawlessness in the democratic party. >> i don't know how a national party thinks they can win an election by being so anti-law enforcement.

they want to abolish i.c.e. and you look at these scenes right now and the mayor and the democrats including joe biden himself is saying the feds are using egregious tactics. i just don't get that. >> as you know jason, i've been on the ground reporting all these liberal cities for a while. i spent the better part of last year going to every single city talking about the death and poverty and destruction in these communities. it's not just a law enforcement rhetoric but the fact that they are willing to let the city burn. average americans who don't want to even care about the politics of a democrat or republican party, they are fearful right now. and the most disgusting part about this is, this started being about george floyd and you have a bunch of paid anarchists who are now trying to use george floyd's death as a issue that

has nothing to do with them. the lack of accountability, the people that are elected in office, they pass all these other laws but as of elected officials your first duty is to keep your residence safe and they failed on this front. it should be hard to defeat these guys and i hope they prevent an alternative -- present an alternative message and give these liberal cities and voters a fighting chance. >> jason: i think you are absolutely right. i have to tell you, the president said he's going to solve this problem in the president has thousands of hours, and a family couldn't go walk around that courthouse, this should be a place of peace and tranquility.

you have a lot of left wing mayors that believe the lie. even mark lemmon hill can see an interview with candace owens, the whole reason that people are out in the streets come up the whole notion that people are killing black people are just because they are black is false. just three days before george floyd died a black mississippi cop was choking a young black suspect, it didn't kill him, but my goodness. at this been a white cop choking a young black suspect, we know both the cops name and the suspects name which shows you the media is selective about the cases that they care about. the bottom line is, the real problem facing young black men is other young black men. half the homicides in this country are black victims and the cops are not doing this.

the whole premise is false, they are trashing neighborhoods based on the false premise, and causing job creation all based on a false notion. >> i want to transition just slightly. i worry about the puppeteers that are controlling and feeding the information to joe biden. because his quote was that the feds are using the egregious tactics. i watched that video, i watch what's going on there and that's not what i'm seeing. does joe biden even have a plan to address this and quell this violence? >> let me think about that, it's a very tough question. no, not at all. he is being run by extremists. let me be very clear. this is why i'm here, this is why i'm on fox campaigning against democrats. the democratic party has been hijacked by black lives matter. what larry said is well taken,

you have democratic mayors of running the cities and guess what, they yell systematic discrimination. they are minorities running the system and they are punishing their own people. and yet they play the pandering game, they play the race car. they have the audacity to call donald trump a racist? he needs to look at his record. his offensive comment, that was the number one reason that drove me to a republican. that is the most racist offensive statement he's ever made in his life and it is ridiculous. >> jason: lawrence, you made a really good point. that run successful campaign against mayor wheeler but president trump, if you were advising the president, what would you say to president trump, what would you do to quell the violence and make the case of the next several months?

>> i think he should hold the republican committee accountable. these are american citizens. if you realize that one side of the aisle has filled these citizens, it is our duty to fight for life from the woman to the tomb. the only way we can win is changing what's happening in those communities, you can't change it if you are not there. talked to chicago, philly, baltimore, i travel every week talking to people. do you think they care if a r or d are there? do you think that black america wants to defund the police? that's not what they are saying. they want equal justice under the law and they want those people taken care of but by and large the community is saying, protect us. when the state abuses this power, they should be prosecuted but when citizens terrorize their own communities, they

should be prosecuted as well and we will talk about that in my special "one nation" on sunday at 10:00 p.m. eastern. >> jason: very good. i want to give you that same question, what advice would you give to the president? i love that he's taking a pro-law enforcement stance but what can the president do? the first is when cops are unfairly aligned as racists. they pulled back in the bad guys know it and the very people that the black lives matter and these other activists claim they care about are the ones who are hurt. i have would also talk about joe biden, who consistently lied about his civil rights record. no evidence whatsoever, he claims he's got support from the naacp. the naacp is a 501(c)(3) corporation and they can't do it. they said he lied and got arrested, and joe biden thinks

of them as props or ponds. it's 95% for people like me and i think it's very offensive. black people are angry at rachel dolezal for lying, why aren't you angry at joe biden for all of his lies? i'm angry at joe biden right now which is why i'm here. joe biden is the racist. >> if they didn't to get it do done. larry, leo and lawrence. don't forget to check out lawrence jones a special, "one nation" right here on the fox news channel sunday night at 10:00 p.m. eastern. coming up, hud secretary dr. ben carson will join us. plus we will have the very latest from chicago where the city is a far left mirror is attempting to restore order by tearing down a statue of christopher columbus. don't go away, the special

don't go away, the special edition of "hannity" continues. guys, it's that time... and nothin's happenin'. well now there's score!, from force factor, to rev your libido and maximize physical response. it's no wonder force factor is the #1 fastest-growing men's health brand at walmart. unleash your potential in the bedroom with score!.

simon pagenaud takes the lead at the indy 500! coming to the green flag, racing at daytona. they're off... in the kentucky derby. rory mcllroy is a two time champion at east lake. touchdown! only mahomes. the big events are back and xfinity is your home for the return of live sports.

prosperity and freedom of expression. here to talk about this is hud secretary dr. ben carson. thank you for being with us mr. secretary, you are one of our favorites. and i would like to see i have the pleasure of meeting chief craig. and it was 53 years ago yesterday that the detroit riots started.

and people invite anarchists, there will be long lasting destruction that you have to deal with. supposedly to stop segregation but it went much further than that. it imposed on the federal government on all the municipalities and neighborhoods of the united states, it made us into the watch dog and that's not what was supposed to happen, it was supposed to be federalism. that's one of the principles upon which this country was founded. and interestingly enough, we've already started to hear people saying, the trump administration is racist and backing away from civil rights and fair housing.

what a bunch of garbage. the fact of the matter is if you look at the record, we have resolved 22,933 backlog fair housing cases. that's a lot of work. and we have been very active in terms of helping facebook to realize what they were doing, sort of electronic redlining and other social media platforms have learned from that as well. you know, civil rights in terms of handicapped people. they were pursuing that very actively so we don't need another bunch of layers of bureaucracy to tell people how they are supposed to live or where they are supposed to live and also the previous rule directed money away from the inner cities and places where it

is really needed. and what we have done instead, we would have capital gains invested into those neglected areas. and we concentrate on such things as education and which is the mechanism whereby you get people out of poverty. you get education in this country and they write their own ticket. >> senator scott from south carolina did a fabulous job with that. mr. secretary, i appreciate what you said about the police chief in detroit. and i shudder to think what might have happened, the mayor and the governor are working with the trump administration and i hope things don't change. i want to get your last comment here about the visual, the things you are seeing not only in seattle but now in portland,

day 58 of what looks like just absolute riots. i don't know how people lived there, i don't know what business would want to relocate there and how would a family walked on the street and that type of situation? joe biden's blaming donald trump. give me a break. >> they blame donald trump for everything. i do have to step up and defend the mayor of detroit, he is probably not like a lot of those other mirrors. but the fact of the matter is, there is a contract, an unwritten contract between the local government and the people. the local government is supposed to protect the people and when they don't do that they are shirking their duties. there should be consequences for that and some people started talking about that already. i appeal to voters, look at the

people that you are putting in office. evaluate what they are getting done. are they accomplishing things or are they not? are you one of those people that goes and looks at the ballot and says i recognize that name or vote for that name? no. we have to be much more intelligent than that or we get what we deserve. >> jason: at mr. secretary, thank you for joining us this morning, we do appreciate it. >> thank you, jason. good to be with you. up next, why criminals are so upset about president trump's operation legend. pam bondi, brett tillman and gianna caldwell will tell you coming up

>> jason: it welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." breaking news from chicago, last night hundreds of protesters gathered outside of the home of mayor lori lightfoot to demand the defunding of the chicago police department. this came hours after she spoke with president trump about his plans to send federal officers to chicago amid a surge in violence. also new from chicago, mayor lightfoot ordered the columbus statue in chicago's grand park where rioters and police clashed last friday to be taken down. city workers arrived in the darkness of night to remove the statue and now mayor de blasio is threatening president trump with legal action if he sends federal officers to new york city. to help ease the growing violence in that city. saying, we would immediately take action in court to stop it. joining me now is former florida

attorney general pam bondi, former united states attorney brett tolman and fox news journalist gianno caldwell. that documentary gives an inside look at gang life in his hometown and is available exclusively on fox nation. thank you all for joining us. i want to start with you, brett, being a u.s. attorney, i want to talk about operation legend. the left, the democrats and mainstream media are claiming the president has no authority to do this and this is unprecedented in its nature, what's a reality? >> the reality is like most people in the country we are a little fed up with what's going on in some of these cities and i can't blame the president. is he within his right? he is 100% within his right and within the law to make sure that he protects the federal buildings in each of these cities. there are a law enforcement officers in these cities already

who have a grievance with the cities to investigate and prosecute violent crime and other issues in the cities. so now all of a sudden jason, it's like they are causing people to disappear and this is the gestapo and for years the federal government has been partnering to make sure that the cities are safe and he's doing it now and he's been doing what he's been doing for years and years. >> jason: the obama administration and the bush administration and pam, you've been the attorney general for one of the largest states in the nation. you got bill de blasio saying federal agents come to new york, he's going to take them to cou court. really, bill de blasio, he's going to prevail on that? >> jason, bring it on. he's a law and order president, and he will restore perp

"law & order" to all the cities, think about what atf does. while these rioters out here with guns, molotov cocktails, they have full authority to go after all of them. interference with what police is doing. you have the dea, homeland security and u.s. marshals. get ready because our law and order president will restore safety to all of our cities throughout the country. >> you grew up in chicago and it's a big place in your heart, the mayor is taking down a statue in the darkness of night. they can seize protesters in front of her home for simply speaking with the president of the united states, what is going on there? >> it's insanity is what it is an on pit stop with what we are seeing in our hometown. if you can't go to a funeral and burial or loved one, what can

you do? i talk about my book, three years ago my younger brother was in the car with two of his friends went to men walked up and shot that car 25 times. he lived thankfully but his best friend died in his arms. i fed up with what we have seen out of chicago. he said if chicago doesn't fix his carnage he was going to send the feds and this is what he's doing. i'm glad to see the mayor of chicago, and i give her credit for acquiescing and capitulating to president trump's request and working with the federal government to stop the violence in the city of the chicago because the mayor has failed. you need someone to come in and assist because at this point no one is safe. if you have a 1-year-old's that are being shot and senior citizens that are being shot, who can afford to live in a city like that? fear is running the city and we needed to stop right now.

>> jason: you are talking about 1900 shootings in chicago over the course of time, and the feds have every jurisdiction to go in there. >> i have prosecuted hundreds of firearm offenses, i've done it in the inner-city and it can be done now in chicago. the u.s. attorney's office, the fbi and the atf, if they decide that they are going to expend resources in this area they can shut dumb start to shut down the city. >> jason: pam, running short on time but it does strike me that the seattle mariners, they pretty much given up and given into those that are rioting and anarchists and said, you can do whatever you want in our city.

>> they sure have. they have chosen politics over people, over the citizens where they live which is outrageous but president trump does not want to do that. he's going to come in and protect the citizens even if the mayors aren't and law enforcement, they want him there. they want the help of our federal government. this doesn't happen in florida because we are working together. >> jason: what's your message to the president and what would you like him to do? >> i want the president to do exactly what he's doing. he's talking about solutions, we have to have the solutions. it's a multiprong not just law-enforcement but a programmatic effort. and that is providing resources so we can do that. >> you are the best at plugging your own stuff, well done.

thank you. an update from the anti-trump media and the cancel culture world.

>> jason: welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." nicholas sandmann has announced he has settled with "the washington post" in a defamation suit stemming from their botched coverage of interaction with the native american elder last year that falsely portrayed him as a aggressor. if you recall, media outlets smear the teenager and misreported what happened. following the news, we have met with "the washington post" and cnn and the fight isn't over up to down, six to go. so ask yourself how far will the media, joe biden supporters and the radical democrats go to try to smear the president and his

allies? censorship. cancel culture and intimidation. just look at this new poll from the cato institute finding that 62% of america americans. they discuss deeply polarized items. take a look. >> you are the lightning rod, no doubt about that. in my mind, do you agree with that? >> president trump: sometimes it's for a purpose. so the two sides right now that are ahead, i think it was happening and then we got hit y the china virus. the best employment numbers in the history of our country, best unemployment numbers, best

unemployment numbers in history. it was -- we were ready to do it. >> fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett along with media reporter for the hill, joe concha, and relatable podcast host allie beth stuckey. thank you so much for joining us greg, i want to start with you because a "washington post" really did need to settle this. they overstep their bounds was nicholas sandmann and it wasn't a coincidence that on his 18th birthday he signed this agreement. i would love to know how much you got. >> i would imagine tens of millions of dollars. but it underscores how the liberal mainstream media feels empowered to smear and defame anybody they perceived to be either conservative or pro-trump and nicholas sandmann was the prime target for this.

and they were villain eyes and demonized and that's what they did. videotape evidence showed that he was the victim of harassment and racial slurs. but the media doesn't care about facts and truth and evidence. they abandoned their sense of fairness but they were driven by this maniacal hatred of trump. so anything that might damage him is justified to the mainstream media even if it destroys a young man. we certainly saw so much of this narrative driven by the media which was false in the russian collusion case in which they persistently for three long years told americans that trump was a russian agent who colluded with moscow in the of the kremlin and of course they ignored all the compelling

evidence to the contrary. it will not change, throwing money at a problem is the easy way out and they will never apologize for their wrongful practices. >> jason: i think he was right to sue and evidently, this is not a one-off situation, it happens regularly. i want to talk to you about the cato institute poll because it's fascinating, nearly two and threinthree americans were are intimidated by what they say about the backlash. >> we have seen people fire that simply forcing that trump is the president of the united states. there was a baseball coach the other day who got fired literally for tweeting that president trump is the president of the united states. people have gotten fired for

disagreeing about black lives matter, and they are not going to want to be outspoken about their support for president trump or first thing they are conservatives. so what does that mean for november? we thought we saw a lot of anti-trump energy which would lead to or clinton winning while there seems to be a lot of energy out in the streets right now, and some democrats are thinking that will bode well. and those are intimidated into silence and it's hard to tell who really is out there. are they able to boldly come o

out, and some people just feel like they hide away in their homes and not talk about the views for the good of their home and their family. >> it is a sad day because people should be able to speak their mind and we as a nation should be able to have that discussion but i found it interesting in that poll, only staunch liberals are showing up in the polling. i want to go and talk about joe biden. he is hiding in his basement and taking the softball interviews. the president day by day are taking hard interviews and talk to a whole audience that normally isn't necessarily watching come although they should be watching this program, and showing things that joe biden is not able to do. >> it would be to sit down and

actually do interviews. and about a week ago he took questions from exactly six reporters. he is the approval numbers in the g.o.p. and the 90% range, but what he has to do is shore up that from 2016. he's now now reaching out to people and that's a perfect place to do that. it's nearly a hundred days until the election and you have one candidate who is very active in terms of media appearances and you have another that is sitting in a safe space hoping to run out the clock. hillary clinton tried that, and we all know how that worked out.

>> president trump sat down with chris wallace and answer the tough questions for a while, i dared joe biden to be able to do the same. but i really should to do the country right. gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us tonight, we really do appreciate it. directly ahead, tensions are rising with china and that's not good news for joe biden. gordon chang and tammy bruce will be her next.

>> jason: and welcome back to the "hannity" special. tonight tensions with china are escalating after the end of the states demanded the closure of the chinese consulate in the houston, china is retaliating by ordering the united states' chengdu consulate shut. mike pompeo gave a historic speech laying out what is at stake. >> if we don't act now the ccp will erode our freedoms that our societies have worked so hard to

build. if we bend the knee now, our children's children may be at the mercy of the chinese communist party and whose actions of the chinese party today and the free world >> jason: it's joining us now is expert gordon chang and tammy bruce. gordon, give us your analysis because we shudder by houston consulate and they shot one of ours, give us your analysis. >> i think that both the shutting of the houston consulate and that chengdu won our wins for the u.s. first of all it can no longer be used as a base for subversion. there are unconfirmed reports that that consulate had links with protest groups in the u.s. and also we know that it was used as a base for subversion. they were going especially after energy companies because of the south china sea connections. closing chengdu was good for us because china has been grabbing americans as hostages and so the fewer diplomats we have in

china, the fewer potential hostages there are and we can't support american businesses they shouldn't be in china for many reasons. so i have no problem with the closing of the consulates and it's a great day for us. >> jason: that's interesting. joe biden has downplayed in china, it's not a threat and get the secretary of state and donald trump are saying it's the biggest threat. there could be more of a contrast. i can't think of more times that joe biden was right on foreign policy but give a sure take on that. >> obviously joe biden represents the old guard, the old theory, i'm sure china is shocked and donald trump did his best to create a better dynamic and negotiate but i think the reality crept up on the president and the fact that the chinese communist party is a cancer and you don't negotiate with cancer. and this is becoming apparent. now the chinese are realizing that this is a genuine shift in american foreign policy but,

joe biden in every single way is an example of the old world and those failed policies, and that's why he's in the front. that is why he is a seat holder, an individual which will allow that system to return and that's key when you realize what's at stake here when it comes to foreign policy and china in particular. >> jason: so gordon, do you believe that china is the biggest threat or is it joe biden that's not a threat at all? >> china is to challenging the u.s. and international system across the board and china has been involved in india and the other incidents in the east china sea. all of the threats to take over

taiwan, hong kong and the increasing challenge against the u.s. navy. xi jinping believes that china is the world's only sovereign states so clearly this challenge is extensional to the united states. the secretary was absolutely correct when he talked about the consequences of china's challenge to us. >> jason: thank you both. i wish we had more time but we have a hard out. i really do appreciate you joining us on this beautiful friday night. we will be right back with more of the guys, are you tired of frequent nighttime bathroom trips? well, force factor prostate helps reduce urges to urinate, plus fully empty your bladder and promote a normal prostate size. don't settle. choose force factor prostate, from the #1 fastest-growing men's health brand at walmart.
