defending or caring about or loving, we are in deep trouble. it is worth fighting against that. that is it for us. tune in every night 8:00 p.m. the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, pomposity, smugness and group think. and with that, we turn it over to sean hannity. >> sean: tucker, changing and dangerous new york. welcome to "hannity." moments away from a special "hannity" investigation into new york city's rapid, dangerous decline, homelessness, drug use, violent crime wreaking havoc on the entire city. you want to see what $1 billion cut to the police budget looks like and the dismantling of new york's prestigious street crime police unit? you want to see what that looks like? we have that exclusive date. comrade de blasio, you might want to take note of this. this is all happening under your pathetic watch. this is your number one responsibility, and this is a spectacular epic fail.

also tonight, we will have the latest chaos from biden's basement bunker campaign. many of the radical base are refusing to endorse the presumptive democratic nominee after he even embraced the green new deal, bolshevik bernie agenda and bite and struggles don't end there appear this week he had trouble remembering where he was come up what decade we ae living in, and we will have all of that tonight. dan bongino senator kennedy, congressman gaetz, ric grenell joining us plus, he just tested positive for covid-19. we will talk about that and more. but first we began tonight with new york city. it is deteriorating before our very eyes all because of what is the pathetic leadership of the mayor, de blasio and the governor cuomo. just take a look from america. this is just the beginning of what defunding the police looks like and a preview of what joe biden's america will be

like. these two lunatics led violent crime out of prison and using coronavirus as an excuse. felony offenders to get out of jail scot-free within hours after their arrest because of the idiotic new york law, $0 bail law. you get arrested, you get released. it's like that. to top it off, comrade de blasio the mayor has slashed the nypd's budget by $1 billion. the tragic results they speak for themselves. shootings are up 73% over last year. murder is up 29%. there have been over 11,000 felony assaults so far this ye year. cuomo, de blasio they should be ashamed, but the safety and security is the number one job of any elected official and they are failing. that is only the tip of the iceberg. now the police are a constant target of violent attacks. hundreds of new york city police officers have now been injured in recent weeks, many seriously.

the police have been bashed in the head with the sticks and canes and bricks and rocks and fire extinguishers and bottles and molotov cocktails. they have been run over by cars. they have been stabbed. they have been shot. one man tried to take down eight nypd helicopter using a laser. you know the one that pointed three officers out west. over 300 nypd vehicles have been damaged since the start of the "peaceful protest" costing the taxpayers of new york city and new york state a fortune. look at your screen. just this week officers surrounded by angry mob pelted with rocks and bottles during an arrest they were involved in. officers were attempting to serve a warrant on an individual who is wanted for destroying nypd cameras. but as the police attempted to put the suspect into an unmarked police van from a crowd tried to physically prevent the police from doing their job. they made the arrest violent, as you can see.

in a statement the nypd said "the warrant squad uses unmarked vehicle to effectively locate wanted suspects. of course despite this official policy of comrade de blasio never misses the opportunity to trap's stomach trash the police and the mayor scolded the officers. he accused them of making an arrest at the wrong place and the wrong time. mr. mayor, just when is the right time and the right place to make an arrest? especially after the perpetrator commits tens of thousands of dollars more in damage? meanwhile this morning 2:30 a.m. another angry mob showed up at the home of the new york police department commissioners, his name is commissioner schade, the loudspeakers and sirens chanting "if we don't get justice you don't get sleep. new york city is in a state of crisis and to top it off homelessness, drug use spiraling out of control in public view. it has become so bad one four

star hotel is a homeless shelter for drug addicts. according to the report from "the new york post," mount town -- downtown matt hatton and the upper eastside now filled with addicts shooting heroin in broad daylight in full public view. it is so bad discarded needles are lining the streets, which brings us to tonight's "hannity" special investigation. we sent our 2020 correspondent lawrence jones to new york to find out exactly what is going on and what he found should shock the conscious. but remember a preview of coming attractions if biden's america comes a reality and i to seven days. fox news, correspondent 2020 correspondent investigative reporter lawrence jones. you learned a lot today. >> good evening, it shone and we have been covering american cities in crisis and the cities happen to be run by

democratic mayors and new york city isn't any different. residents are furious about individuals openly shooting up with drugs with needles and place the blame squarely within the mayor bill de blasio. take a look. >> >> three months we have been here since the shutdown every single day. shoot up. we have a cigarette and they attack us. >> what do the leaders do? >> nothing. >> and you say it's not that bad. >> by comparison, you know, i don't even see it anymore. i am kind of numb to the whole thing, people shooting at us. >> what do you think new york being compared to san francisco, skid row? >> it's getting there. >> absolutely. >> who do you blame for all of

it? the mayor de blasio. >> absolutely. >> never, ever. >> now, sean, if that was only bad enough the cap of the needles everywhere. they decided to clean it up after "the new york post" report. but now they are putting homeless individuals in four-star hotels. the only thing is, they didn't tell the residents that are currently staying in those communities. they aren't happy. take a listen. >> they move the homeless population across the street here. are you concerned? >> i'm a bit concerned, especially as a woman at night because i work at night. i come home late. and during the day, i saw one guy hope and other guy across the street who is on drugs. >> the whole dynamics of the community has changed. >> do you support them doing this to your community? >> not really. >> do you believe -- >> absolutely, absolutely.

>> the covid. you have to put them somewhere. you have to put them in individual rooms. and i think it is well formatted and supervised. >> i have seen so many drug deals go down. i don't want those days to come back. >> sean, as you can see in the video, the local businesses have to hire security to protect the patrons from the homeless people that are strung out on drugs. the people want to make it clear, they are not anti-getting homeless help here they want to be consulted and the four-star hotel really the place to put them? back to you, sean. >> sean: and use all people literally shooting up. we are not talking what we know more crime-ridden areas in new york, we saw midtown, the full extensive upper east side of new york?

>> >> we are talking the side, not only shooting up, but we saw them prepping the drugs right in this area as well. and of course, when i talk to residents that say, why aren't the police enforcing the laws that are on the books? they blame the mayor for the defund the police message that he had to spanning the anti-crime unit. they feel like the officers they use to see on a day-to-day basis feel like their hands are tied. they don't want to lose their jobs or their likelihood to. >> sean: then you also see people -- i've seen pictures of and not unlike san francisco, on the streets. >> we saw that sean and we talked to one person new york resident who used to be in san francisco and he said he almost feels numb to it because he's already experiences before. >> sean: lawrence jones, great reporting as always, thank you. return to big updates for the 2020 election in just 97 days,

in order to appease the most radical, socialist part of his party, which is the democratic socialist party, biden has adopted all of their insane policies. he's co-opt them all. police are becoming the enemy. and yesterday he acted like violent protests were not actually happening. he said just part of a 2020 campaigning thing. used to scare people. really? videos, well they are scary. it is the truth. take a look. >> some of the ads. you see cities burning, call 911, biden, they had my picture in the background, you know. if it is rape dial 911. it will take seven days. i mean, come on, that is all about trying to come up with a bizarre law and order 2020 campaign thing. >> sean: all right come out of touch biden. tell that to the downtown business seattle, portland,

chicago, new york city and of course biden will say and do anything to shore up this radical base because he doesn't. he recently announced that his economic plan was the most progressive in american history. that is actually true. take a look. >> i mean, it is awfully detailed. if i'm elected and this passes, i will be good to go down as one of the most progressive presidents in american history. >> sean: okay, he's not wrong because he plagiarized most of his economic virginia from bolshevik bernie sanders platform. he said he will raise your taxes and confiscating well. and naturalize major industries. he has pledged trillions of dollars to alexandria ocasio-cortez and her insane green new deal which eliminates the lifeblood of our economy, oil, gas. and today, the president he delivered this analysis of biden's insane socialist economic agenda. let's take a look. >> washington democrats have embraced representatives

alexandria ocasio-cortez nearly $100 trillion green new deal disaster. i have added the fourth word, it is a disaster, which would ban oil and gas leasing on all federal lands and by the way, they would be no fracking. i don't think biden will do well in gas and domestic. it is part of his platform. if these far left conversations get into power, they will demolish not only the industry, but the entire u.s. economy. >> sean: tens of millions of jobs in the energy sector gone. by the way, pennsylvania if you have a resurgence economically and say goodbye if joe biden's president. and now the impression will be more radical that socialist congresswoman, member of the squad announcing she will not endorse him. earlier this week, the cochair said voting for biden was like eating a bowl of [bleep] and

that is after biden plagiarized birney's economic agenda. over 700 dnc delegates, they are now planning to reject biden's platform at the convention. if it doesn't include medicare for all. so now it is only a matter of time before biden caves there. he has never had an original thought of his own. he has changed a hundred times throughout his career. 47 years in washington, he has nothing to show for it. well, i will ask you. he can answer this question at home. what has joe biden accomplished and what did he do to make this country a better place in 47 years. now, he is without a doubt one of the weakest candidates to ever run for office. and now the most radical of the major party in history. and it's not just his terrible record and hard left turn. add to that as well, let's be honest, cognitive struggles that are now more than a little concerning. just this week during his speech, he actually forgot where he was entering a virtual event,

he thought, well we are living in a totally different decade. this is getting bad. >> welcome to the kings men center. actually, that is the one where i used to work. it is a joke. i know where we are, anyway. you know when the 20/20 census, which is to cosentences ago, seems to be the largest increase in latino population is 8% in the state of delaware. >> sean: my prediction as we get closer to the election, this will only get worse if elected, biden will be nothing more frankly than an empty suit. the kitchen cabinet bolshevik bernet, aoc, and oh, yeah mr. beto o'rourke, confiscate guns. the radical socialists to ram through a very scary agenda. he's all for it, 97 days, you the american people, you need to reject this madness. you are the ultimate jury. a very way of life is now at

stake if these radical state policies are implemented. here with more fox news contributor, we call him the architect karl rove. your reaction in the state of the race from your perspective. >> i think you put your finger on it. there needs to be a big contrast made and i think the president did a good job on getting the energy issue in texas. it's not only the opposition of fracking and immediate leasing on federal lands, it is also an immediate ban on leases in federal waters. and if president trump had been on the opposite side not in west texas but the eastern side of the state, he would have been in houston with the economy that depends mightily upon somatic increase and exploration and production that is coming out of the gulf of mexico. but that would in hand, no more releases for the gulf of mexico and in the immediate ban. if you want your utility bill to go higher and your gas bills to go higher in united states to become dependent again on

foreign sources of energy, vote for biden energy plan. you know, it is amazing to me, i just saw a letter from the laborers union international to the ohio oil and gas association talking about how many union workers were working how many hours getting paid what kind of wages in order to work in the energy infrastructure that is rising up in ohio and western pennsylvania as a result of the fracking revolution. so you are right. this campaign needs to be about big changes, about big contracts and the big changes joe biden would like to affect on the country that are not for the good. >> sean: you have an opinion piece and "the wall street journal".com that attacked more than the courthouse. you are right when you say if biden wants to lead, he needs to specifically denounce the violence in the city's by liberal democrats for decades and now only when pushed as he given the okay, we need to stop that, but he's also said the

police are the enemy. not one word of the 99% of the place that protect and serve. that is such a disservice. we are seeing these cops pelted and everything! >> book, he wants to be the head of the federal government. he can't find one word to say to defend federal property under attack in seattle and portland were to command the heroism of federal officers who protect federal facilities. my column, i was interested about this come in seattle do you know what the name of the federal courthouse is that they are trying to destroy? who was william kenzo camara? in 1942, he was 20 years old, and the son of japanese immigrants and japanese-american and he was interned by fdr at a camp in idaho along with every american on the west coast after pearl harbor but you know what he did? a year later at the age of 21,

he enlisted in the united states army and served 422nd brigade, combat brigade in july 4, 1944, he he single headed delma candidly took out a machine gun emplacement, volunteered to provide covering fire for his platoon to a draw, took on a second machine gun nest and was killed. he was 1 of 21 members of 422nd to be awarded the congressional medal of honor. and that is who they are attacking. when they attacked the courthouse, they are not only attack in the places where judges serve, social security benefits are adjudicated and citizenship is granted and the accused have their day in court, they are also attacking the heritage that this man gave us. take a look at portland, 62 nights in a row, mark hatfield world war ii navy combat veteran, the youngest governor

in the history of oregon, deeply religious man who was strongly pro-life, not only pro-life against abortion but being pro-life against the death penalty. he went to the united states senate and served state for 30 years and what an enormous respect for democrats and republicans for his common sense, decency and willingness to work across the aisle. the first republican senator to come out against the vietnam war in 1966. that is who they are attacking. these are progressives and they ought to be applauding someone like this. instead, they are standing at the memory of these individuals. joe biden can't bring himself to say one good word about it. yeah, he said yesterday, well, you person and you know, those people are to be prosecuted. but he never can put into context to say i deplore what is happening on these nights in portland. i oppose the violence that we are seeing on the streets from seattle. the reason is because the left of the democratic party is

afraid of angering this faction. there is a contagion that is taking over the leadership of the democratic party and made them fearful of standing up and being strong for what they ought to be for. that is the rule of law in america. >> sean: a lot at stake in 97 days, karl rove the architect thank you. the president laid out what is at stake in november. let's hear what he had to say. >> i used to say we will become in venezuela, the same ideology. you will become another venezuelan. venezuela used to be the richest in the world per capita and riches and the world among the oil reserves. now they don't have water, they don't have medicine, they don't have food, they've got a lot of oil, but it doesn't matter. it doesn't seem to matter. they don't have anything. and that can happen to us. all you have to do is look at portland. look at the agitators. look at the anarchists in portland. >> sean: here with reaction

louisiana senator john kennedy. senator, that is a lot to absorb. i want to get your reaction and great to have you back, sir. >> thank you, sean. i think it would be a fair statement to say the democratic party has taken a hard left and kept driving. many of my democratic friends now believe that socialism, illegal immigration, and abortion are more good. they want to defund the police. they want to take away our on-the-job health insurance. they want to make it illegal. many of my democratic friends now believe that most americans, presumably white americans but they say most americans are racists. will vice president biden be able to stand up to them? i don't think so. and if he tries, i think they

will beat him like he stole christmas. and that is the issue in this race. >> sean: it wasn't long ago that obama and hillary clinton, that they were for building a wall in obama's second term. now trump wants it and they are against the wall. they would support, they weren't against it but now for example, they were against reparations. they were for building the wall. i never thought you would see a portico this left this fast. but i thought obama was pretty hard left along with hillary. this is nothing compared to that. >> you mentioned immigration. it wasn't that long on capitol hill when the debate between democrats and republicans was what sort of immigration system we should have. that is no longer the position of many of my democratic

friends. their position is now that illegal immigration is a good thing. that we shouldn't have any immigration laws. that immigration laws are just a nuisance. that the border is just a nuisance. i don't know any in the world that has that position. their position, we use to debate what used to be in health care. their position, my democratic friends position now is that you shouldn't be able to get insurance from your employer. government will make all health care decisions. if you think you like government controlled health care come i want you to close your eyes and imagine living in a world designed by the post office. it will be in unmitigated disaster. and vice president biden says he is a moderate. he hasn't been acting like it, but even if you take him at his

word, the issue really is will he be strong enough to say no. >> sean: senator, if i may gently disagree, he has already adopted ernie's economic agenda, aoc's new green deal agenda, basil bozo o'rourke but i will give you the last 40 seconds, sir. >> he has but the vice preside vice president, his position has changed with the day. probably more, try to be more moderate. i understand this is an election but the stakes are extraordinarily high. extraordinarily high. 's be when he says he supports it and committed trillions to the new green deal. bolshevik bernie's economic agenda. last word, quick. >> vice president biden believes in government made america great. he is wrong. it is ordinary people doing extraordinary things that made

america great. >> sean: well said. the great people of this country. thank you, senator come appreciate it. supreme court justice in the hospital tonight. shannon bream has a live report and the big tech execs on capitol hill, they have republican lawmakers that were anti-conservative bias. that update and a full report straight ahead. stay with us. ♪ (announcer) now more than ever, it's important to lose weight,

it years ago, i will do it myself with executive orders." in washington come all talk no action for years the people of our country are so sick and tired of it. reaction the author of "firebrand, matt gaetz and former ambassador and acting director of national intelligence who did a great service to this country, actually allowing us to see some truth about the deep state. you did a phenomenal job, sir, thank you for what you did and being with us. rick we will start with you tonight. we are now learning a lot about these companies. they have this liability protection with content providers. once in editing, that liability protection would go away. we see a lot of this going on more than we ever dreamed of. isn't that true? >> it is totally true. this is a decision they have made. they are not trying to do anything but flip the script on citizen journalism. we have for 225 years, beginning

with hartford current had the media controlled by newspapers and newspaper editors. when the internet was invented, we flipped the script. we had citizens being able to question what the news was and put out their own stories. now, what we see as big tech roaring back. what they are trying to do, sean, is take away the power of the citizen. and they will do it pretending like they are looking for facts. what they are doing is they are looking for opinions. they want to go back to controlling the news. when you control the news, you control a whole society. so washington politicians, they have got to stop complaining, and they have to start doing something. >> sean: matt gaetz, you're particularly powerful in your arguments. i would like to give you a chance to explain. >> here is the message to the president, congress will not do anything on big tech because congress is bought off by big tech. we have proved today that many

of american's largest technology platforms for not acting in the best interest of our country. they have pulled out of deals as google has with our own military to keep our service members save. but then google has no problem going and partnering with the chinese military of all folks. even the chairman of the joint chief of staff said google is directly benefiting the chinese military. but it's not that they are just working with china, they are trying to turn our country into china. google in particular. it is the most dangerous election interference organization in the world. at a meeting where his top executive team said that they had to stop donald trump in four years and make his victory just a populist blip in history. since then, he admitted that individuals can go and alter search and change things on blacklists so you don't see sites that are conservative like "the federalist," "the daily caller," breitbart and others that jordan mentioned. and also, you saw he had to

confess the fact that i really think there is an outcome that cannot be explained through these glitches where the conservative sites that we use to see in news are now starting to disappear. they want to control what you see so they can control what you think and how you act in a free society and we must stand against this. >> sean: shadow banning israel? i will ask you first. >> we have seen over and over again. we have to do is have more people focused on this election, less than 100 days and we have too many people that are focused on the russian propaganda of the past. and what we need to be able to do is recognize the russians will always do propaganda like they have done at every election, but right now, we have a problem in our own country with our own tech executives trying to put their thumb on the scale for this election. we have to do something about it. >> sean: matt. >> twitter shadow band during the russian hoax, jim jordan,

biden has been in his basement still. at some point, biden will have to come out of his basement and the name-calling will not survive. what ultimately come i hope is the truth what happened during the russian hoax of 2016. we went dan bongino, it is also about law and order. i made the president is only protecting federal court houses which not only does he have a right but an obligation to do. talking about 100 federal agents and yet, these mayors, governors, these democratic politicians would have you believe that this has all by design. that all the violence for what, 60 some odd days in portland, seattle, all these cities is donald trump's fault. 100 agents in the cities protecting federal buildings, no, that would not be trump's. >> i mean, these cities are all dominated by liberals. i don't know where -- that is asinine. that commentary is so ridiculous. you should seek help from a mental health professional if you will go down that road.

can i comment real quick on the durham report, sean? there are three things were fine for the democrats come okay, number one, we know that january meeting happen where steel sources were garbage, january 2017 so what mueller wao idea. we know that the fbi interviewed the translator in that meeting with donald trump jr. and don jr. is telling the truth, and i don't even like don jr. that is what the translator in the meeting said. we know fbi notes from january 2017 said all those media stories about trunk contacts with the russians, that is a load of b.s. so use should start asking the questions like nunes has for a long time. what is mueller doing if he knew all of this? i think that is what will come out in the report. >> sean: please see the documents released, they started this russian thing, not only at the end of july 2016, but they actually were spying on well, donald trump and the guys talking to him about national

security issues. devon. everyone was warned repeatedly, and then they knew for certain the dirty dossier uses the bulk of information for the phis applications. they knew from day one bowls, and they confirmed and keep going with two more renewal warrants. >> sean come i think what really happened, this was meant to be an october surprise. we are trying to tide donald trump to russia and literally to cover up hillary's problems with russia is the irony here. they were desperate after the election to do something and that's when the obama administration got involved. that's when it started to come out that the fbi was just using whatever they had to discontinue this investigation. that is going to be the problem because they had nothing. it was all fantasies of the democrats. >> sean: i want to thank you both and by the way congressman nunes told us all the truth. adam schiff lied to the country. we now have the days where people telling the committee and what he was saying publicly.
