hope you will come back. thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> tucker: shocking. that's it for us tonight. labor day weekend begins very soon. we'll be back every week 90:00 p.m. jason chaffetz in for sean. have a great night. >> jason: tucker, thank you. i'm jason chaffetz in tonight for sean and in the hour will recap the latest 2020 news and start with joe biden. bravely left his basement bunker once again. he followed president trump's lead and traveled to kenosha, wisconsin. biden probably used his big visit to deliver a speech including one cringe where they moment his tax plan. watch this. >> 19 corporations making a billion dollars apiece don't pay a single penny in taxes. i'm not going to punish anybody

but everybody should pay a fair share. i'm not going to lay it up because of shoot me. >> jason: they'll shoot me? is the best choice of words? at one point, biden took a few questions from local residents. apparently, they were scripted on paper. that is, until this happened. watch. >> i was told to go off the paper but i can't. you need the truth and the truth of the matter is we are heavily angry. not angry as to where people say oh, they're protesting, there's a difference. between a protest and a rider. a very big difference. >> jason: keep in mind, and biden's last press conference, the journalist who asked questions were all preselected by biden campaign staffers.

what are they trying to hide? meanwhile, president trump will do regularly takes unscripted questions was back on the campaign trail again tonight in pennsylvania. have a look. >> i think i've answered more questions from the maniacs than any president in history. i watched biden yesterday and he hasn't answered questions and one, two months or something. yesterday, he took a couple and they were set up like i'd never seen. they're doing anything they can to get the sleeping giants of the white house and i just don't think the public is going to fall for it. i don't the public will vote for it and on his best day was 25 or 30 years ago he was weak. he was weak as a senator, he was not in on this being one of the smart ones and now it's not exactly prime time. i can tell you. >> jason: the polls are tightening in the president is gaining momentum. how much longer can democrats try to hide joe biden?

i'm joe biden. of joining us now is former white house chief of staff reince priebus, rnc chan ronna mcdaniel, and charlie hurt, fox news contributor. thank you for joining us tonig tonight. starting with you, kenosha, wisconsin, is your hometown and you traveled with the president there. tell me about the trip. >> well, thanks, jason, i appreciate being on the show. the business in kenosha because he's part of the federal response to restore order in kenosha and joe biden has nothing in kenosha other than running for president. i lived in kenosha my entire life. my parents still live in kenosha. i can tell you without any exaggeration from illinois to kenosha, wisconsin, about a 25 minute drive, i have never, in my life, seen the outpouring of support. not just tacit support, but wild, off the chart support for

this president and it was about 99%-one. this is a 65% democrat town and all they want to do is say thank you for saving our town. people need to realize that kenosha was burning down. people were putting their kids, no exaggeration, in their basements while dad was sitting in the kitchen with their hunting rifles not knowing who was going to come to the front door. things have changed in the field. this issue of law and order is real. if you look at what the president was talking -- the democrats are talking about defunding the police, kneeling for the national anthem. suspending seasons of the nba and not playing sports, not putting kids in school, this election is coming down to freedom and how we want to live as americans in kenosha is the example of it all.

>> jason: i got to tell you, i believe wholeheartedly that authenticity ends up winning the day. donald trump has it and has it in a big, big way. it joe biden is kind of fully scripted and not quite sure when he is going to say. authenticity really is the key, one of the key differences in going to the race, is in it? >> absolutely, and the president connecting with the people the hard working day working americans that did not have a voice in washington and then didn't have lobbyists or special interest in the president said i'm going to go to washington to fight for you. he went to kenosha because he knew what was happening and there's no photo ops, no phony photo op that's going to cover up the fact that joe biden is running on policies that will make our country less safe. he's for revoking cash bail. he saying if you come in the building and do this in kenosha, wisconsin, you can get out of jail the next day and get out of jail free card on the role of

the criminals. he selected a running mate who said that ice is like the kkk. he selected a running mate who applauded the l.a. police department for cutting $150 million from their police funds. everything that joe biden is running on is making our country less safe in the president is saying not only am i going to make america safe i'm going to get it working again i'm going to make sure that we keep america america. >> jason: charlie, what strikes me about this is donald trump will go to kenosha and he gets mocked for it and then suddenly joe biden goes in the same people don't say a peep about it. but joe biden has been flipping and flopping on a whole lot of issues and i don't think if you can catch up on the law and order issue. >> no, i think that's a real problem for them because you know it's one thing to go after your opponent but if you're after your opponent on something like law and order where the

difference between two candidates is so obvious and in fact, with president trump, there's a problem with president trump it's that there's too much authenticity there. the unscripted stuff that we love so much. it's also what kind of gets you into trouble a lot. but a time like this, in this country, i think voters are thirsting for that sort of thing. and of course in a situation where you have people literally terrified for their lives, terrified for their children, for their families having to sit in their kitchen with a hunting rifle to protect their families. in that kind of environment, you don't see that much kind of support necessarily picking up in the polls because in that kind of environment, a stranger calls you up on your phone to ask you political questions. if people tend to either not to answer or answer however they need to answer to get them off the phone. so, i think that's another thing we should be paying close attention to between now and the

election is that the polls are tightening. i don't think they capture the full picture. >> jason: you are the former chairman of the rnc and chief of staff and i spent a little bit with donald trump and almost shocked and amazed how much energy this guy brings to the job and the fake news that keeps coming out time and time again. he's on big display here in pennsylvania where he started telling different stories and aspects about his health and other things. come on, they keep coming after the sky and they just can't seem to touch them. >> you can't keep up with them for sure and i know that madame chairwoman knows what i'm talking about. you can't outwork in. as far as genuine -- i'm being genuine, i think the stories like tonight then he told, washington media doesn't get it. when he goes off on a tangent and starts talking about disposable straws that don't work in talking about that --

it's funny, it's entertaining, people like it and it matters in politics being genuine, authentic, serving with a pure heart. and that's what people want and they're tired of plasticized washington, d.c.,'s and that's just not who donald trump is buried >> jason: obviously, pennsylvania is one of the key states. what do you believe will be the decisive issues in pennsylvania? >> i have to agree with him, nobody can keep up with the president and it's fun for us to be on the show together and this is the first time i've been with them on the show. thank you. listen, -- >> jason: taken on the road one day. >> let's do it. but the president's running and pennsylvania the midwest on jobs, the economy, he saying we can balance health and safety but continued to get the economy going. joe biden if he had his weight would be all in the bunker and hiding in the basement and such an elitist view of this pandemic that privileged politicians and

hollywood elites think that people are living pay to paycheck and afford to sit home month after month. we have to get the kids back to school, balance getting our country again, and president trump in pennsylvania particularly talked about the fact that joe biden wants to eliminate 10 million energy jobs and get rid of fracking. which means not only are we going to pay more for gas and were going to pay more to heat our house it will be dependent on the middle east again. this resonates with hardworking americans but in my state of michigan, the state of wisconsin and these are states that put donald trump over the top in 2016 and were seeing the same numbers come back in the states right now in 2020. the energy is off the charts everywhere. >> jason: charlie, asking you really quick here, the bread-and-butter issues, law enforcement, energy, jobs. i mean, there is such a clear definitive difference between the two candidates.

>> there really is. at the end of the day it's all about the economy. how people feel about their economic future and you do not have an economic future if you are afraid for your life and afraid for your children's life. if you don't have an economic future if you are shut down because of the coronavirus. so, the economy, those two things underpinning at or what donald trump will win the election on. >> jason: wow a come i you all three of you for joining us on the wonderful thursday night. thank you. want to clarify something in the show earlier. he remains in the hospital, not killed by police, we apologize for the error. if absolute chaos going on in democratic run cities. a major update out of washington, d.c., and governor cuomo, isn't going to like this news.

to a report of a man with a gun and cops roll up, he comes out of the vehicle and starts running an officer officers gave chase and repeatedly yelling don't move. if they spot a weapon in his right hand and one officer fires round hitting kay in the chest. the 18-year-old was taken to the hospital but did not survive hi. wound. the shooting sparked a large protest outside the police precinct last night and blm activists accusing d.c. pro pole of murdering a black man. >> the video has been put out so everybody can look at the video themselves. you can stop it frame by frame and make your own determination. we will do the same when we conduct their investigation. >> officers involved placed on administration leave while the shooting is reviewed, jason. >> mack >> jason: thank you very much. it president trump is taking action and the memo released

earlier this week president called forse a review of all federal funds provided to seattle, portland, new york, washington, d.c., and cities according to the president have permitted violence and destruction are properties during recent protests. new york city mayor bill de blasio threatened to sue trump over the defunding threats. if new york governor andrew cuomo responded with the president saying he would need an army to safely walk new york city streets. watch this. >> he can't come back to new york. he can't. he's going to walk down the street in new york. forget body guards, he better have an n army. if he thinks is going to walk down the street in new york. now, new yorkers don't want have anything to do with them. he knows it. he could not step foot in new york city. >> jason: all this blustering following a mass of in crime

where the new york police department released footage of a man suspected of a choking and the murder of a man in the bronx. anybody who walks new york streets needs an army to feel safe. meanwhile, on twitter, kamala harris is now condemning the riots in portland. that's just a few weeks after she promoted a fund that bails out rioters around the country. oh, how the poles have changed. joining them with the reaction is republican congressional candidate kimberly clay psychic, civil rights attorney leo terrel, new york congressman lee zeldin. kimberly, starting with you and talking about baltimore just on the street there from new york. i've got to tell you, when i saw what kamala harris, the senator, candidate for president, selection for the vice preside

vice president. she's actively out there promoting a way to bail people out of jail. if there's a difference between protests which is the american way and the rioters who allegedly did something wrong and got there onn the gel. >> that she is trying to twist or turn the tables now that she is on the ticket for vp. i want to thank leo terrel for the endorsement on twitter today. we know exactly what happened as far as rioters and looters in the city. we had it happen to us in 2015 and its 2020 and were trying to put businesses and lives back together. a lot of people saw in my campaign added that, we are happy that president trump is investigating a lot of the federal funds are going and a new with any intelligence would know to follow the money. that's why i'm running for congress to do just that. i have to wonder, where are the members of congress that represent the districts and why

aren't they try to figure out what the federal funding has gone. if you don't want to, if i was in congress, i be standing next to trump trying to figureex out what has been going on in the areas in which i represent. >> jason: congressman don't represent baltimore and i find you to be one of the most responsible members of congress but you have colleagues over there that have for decades represented the same areas and the same results working with democratic mayors, governors. it is shameful. the cities are falling th apartd you can't walk down the street. >> as long as they get reelected, they're okay. it's their own political calculation that they might do and quite frankly, taken for granted the votes that are out there, many of the different communities were not going in there to help because a lot of the people would vote for them anyway. i think it's important for voters to take control of their own cities and their own states and i live in new york where we

have one party rule in new york city and were seeing erosion of public safety, throughout new york state were earlier this year the cashless bail defunding the police in new york city, not standing with nypd as resulted in the surge of shootings, deaths, reqt packets and suicides byhe the w. in supporting law enforcement more not less sent unfortunately as a consequence of politicians getting reelected and getting theed votes of some of the peope in the communities even if they don't helpe them. >> jason: leo, what's the democratic party offering going into 2020? up and down the ticket. jobs, economy, safety, security, law enforcement. i mean, they're nowhere on the issues that i see. >> first of all, let me be very clear. it came as more qualified hold political office then harris. why are they hiding their

policies and they don't want to talk about thend policy. fear as to what's been going on for the last four months. because you've hadei chaos, totl annihilation of democratic cities and i want to applaud president trump for holding back federal funds. we as taxpayers are paying for all of this rioting, looting, thisot chaos the democratic cits and you've got the worst mayor in them nation, bill de blasio, who is destroying new york in the biggest ego governor cuomo who is threatening the president. donald trump is the only person who can provide law and order in the country and we need him now more than ever. >> jason: kimberly, walk us through real quickly one needs to happen in big inner cities like baltimore in order to turn it around and turn it into a place where families can thrive in jobs can thrive in people can feels safe and live the american dream. >> absolutely, it's about career opportunities and that's what you see lacking in so many

cities in baltimore we used to be a manufacturing powerhouse. unfortunately, the jobs went overseas thank you, nafta, and did not do anything to replenish the opportunities. it brings back the medical equipment back to baltimore and get people new careers that come with health insurance. talk about school choice, doing something as far as the crime and violence. we don't have a plan right now so there's a lot of things we could be doing and i think republicans are on board and we need democrats on board as well. >> jason: you need to replace the democrats with republicans in order to get that done. go ahead. >> can everybody see my hats, can everybody read this? i'm to make sure that we have no choice, we had 60 days to elect president trump. day and night, you asked me earlier, democrats are selling fear, pandering, we cannot let this country lose the american values and the civil society. where a nation of laws and the

democrats are lawlessness. >> jason: congressman zeldin, which i had more time for you but kimberly wasas on fire. i wanted to hear from her that's okay i don't make it up to you another way. it kimberly come out leo, congressman zeldin, make up some time for it so thank you for joining. us tonight. coming up, the latest on nancy pelosi's shameful hypocrisy. rachel campbell duffy, house minority and stephen kisco lease will be here with a reaction. at that and more on the special edition of "hannity" continuing after the break. ♪

♪ >> jason: welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." it nancy pelosi continues to come under fire for her visit to a shattered hair salon on mond

monday. tonight during the rally in pennsylvania this evening, president trump called out pelosi and said this. have a look. >> she made them all been! salon turned her in in the salon did business with her. how much do they hate nancy pelosi? look at her. and then she made a terrible mistake because you want people to camp out. i was set up, i was set up is what she cited by the salon owner, i was set up. i said tell me she didn't say that. so i just put up if she was set up then she shouldn't be leaving the house of representatives. i want the salon owner to leave the house of representatives because she set up -- think about, she set up the speaker of the house. that was a big mistake and soon

as i heard it, well she set me up. nancy, you're not supposed to get set up. if you representing our country. >> jason: here with the reaction, house minority steve scalise and fox news contributor rachel campbell duffy. starting with you congressman, i haven't had a chance to chat with you on air and nancy pelosi calls you an enemy of the state and so i want to ask one of the enemies of the state steve scalise what your reaction is to thiste whole little scandl that she broiled herself in. >> yeah, jason, this is when the marie antoinette moments where liberals -- this is classic liberalism they want the roast it up like everybody but them. if the close the shop and can go to church but they can go show up. every storefront on to be able to be open and their sick protocols to do this and states crippling their business in california. she can go.

but the rules apply to you but not to them and we got to get the economy back on button and schools open safely in this protocols to do it but the states like california, new york are killing businesses left and right. at some of the jobs will never come back in the families where the careers are gone, that's what angered the people the most is that they want to have two different set of standards. one for you and one forat them. >> jason: rachel, if your nancy pelosi and they are saying this is a big right wing conspiracy that somehow is engaging in this, she didn't use the exact words but that's the impression sheds gives. why was this place closed in the first place? >> is a great question and the question that people are asking and she wasn't wearing a mask and't people aren't surprised she's not wearing a mask. i by the way had to wear a mask when i got my hair washed i

thought it was ridiculous too. i had to follow the rules because the owner of my salon is petrified of being shut down if i don't wear it. the question i had in so many others had when they saw her to saunter through there without a mask is that she does she's an elderly percival in the high-risk group, she's not afraid of getting covid. it comes to the point of why are we shutting the salons and why do we have the owners and stupid rules. it is about slowing the disease or slowing down d the economy? is this political are not? when she said she was set up, she didn't just insult that salon owner, the former hairdresser, she t insulted evey other salon owner and hairstylist across the country, every business owner. she's an elitist, no question about it, and that marie antoinette moment as representative steve scalise said it will be longer membered by everybody who is struggling

through all the roles that she's imposed. >> jason: congressman, she said it was a set up. that'set her excuse. and she was set up. she fell for this entrapment that the salon owner in her home district set up for her. what's your reaction to that? >> it doesn't pass the smell test, jason. the idea that she is the victim and the salon owner, some person who is probably struggling to get by right now because her boldness like so many others are just shut down are limited in how they can actually make money and didn't have a living. she's going to blame her when she knew what was happening. how many times did you hear her child president trump for not wearing a mask and she's not wearing a mask. whatever the roast, make them apply to everybody and i want to see more open roles where we know the safety protocols and the risks out there. we also know that people are dying because this businesses are shut down.

they're not getting the cancer screenings and we got to get the economy safely opened. kids that are going to school by the way long-term damage to these kids that are being allowed to go to school. we had have a debate on school choice right now. if your system is taking your money and not educating a child shouldn't you be able to send your child somewhere else where they educate your child safely? >> jason: last thought from rachel come about ten seconds, rachel. >> if nancy pelosi can get a blow out and break the rules, then all of us can go and vote in person. i think americans are sick of the hypocrisy whether it's funerals for some and no funerals for others, whether it's protesters are okay if you're a democrat, okay to protest without a mask. if you're a republican, you can't -- we're sick with the hypocrisy and it's making people question what are these rules and why are they in place. is there another sort of political strategy behind a lot it? >> jason: yes. congressman scalise, rachel,

thank you both for joining us tonight. concerns of our mail in voting continue as some democrats are now advising biden to refuse to concede no matter what. aaron parisi and gregg jarrett join us live with analysis right after the break. don't go away. ♪

♪ >> jason: welcome back to the "hannity" special. if we are 61 days away from the last two votes being cast in the biggest election of our lifetime. if we quickly approached november. there is growing concern about mask bail in voting and attorney general barr sounding the alarm. watch this. >> this is playing with fire, we are very closely divided country here and if people have to have confidence in the results of the election and the legitimacy of the government to people trying to changeed the rules to this methodology, which is a matter of logic is very open to fraud

and coercion is reckless and dangerous. people are playing with fire. >> jason: today we learned that the trump campaign is now prepping for a contested election. if the campaign general counsel told foxnews.com they're forming what's being called lawyers for trump. a coalition to protect the integrity of the election. who can blame them? some democrats like hillary clinton are giving advice like this to joe biden. watch. >> joe biden should not concede under any circumstances because i think this is going to drag out and eventually i do believe he will win if we don't give an inch. if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is. >> jason: joining now for reaction, trump 2020 press director, gregg jarrett, erin perino, starting with theo. the interview with the attorney general, not only was a

chock-full of very pertinent information, thingsf that i had learned and others have learned, but he was pretty fired up as well. >> well, he's right, if you do mass mail in ballot it's not only right for fraud, forgery, theft, but the really big problem is not the postal server at all it'spo the state. i got off the phone with a governor who resides over the postal service and undertaking brand-new efforts of oversight to make sure that the postal system runs things smoothly. they can do that, they handled 500 million pieces of mail a day, 4 billion around christmas. it is not the postal service. it now, it stayed election officials for whom more than a decade have failed or refused to invest money in building new infrastructure to handle mass mail in balloting asbu a resultf relying on outdated voter

registration. ballots get sent to people who are deceased, sent to people at their old address. also, the problem of you know, people who engage in widespread voter fraud that these election systems of the states are not equipped to handle. these are outdated systems and they need to be updated before we move forward with mail in voting on a mass basis. >> jason: aaron, interesting to me that the democrats turning the corner into september are suddenly saying out loud from hillary clinton on down hey, don't concede no matter what. no matter what happens, were not going to concede to. then you also contrast that with what president jimmy carter and others, notables have said about mail in voting in the past. there is a high propensity of fraud that comes along with this. that's why the attorney general's ow is so cond

about it. >> universal mail in voting where they mail out live ballots that are notoriously flawed voter rolls in the country is ripe for fraud.ip the attorney general pointed it out and it's really rich to hear from kirk and hillary clinton coming up to talk about the fact that she's really actively trying to undermine the election integrity in the united states. it's what she's doing when she isis saying don't concede on november 3rd. if hillary clinton knows one thing it's actually how to be a presidential campaign loser and how to concede to donald trump. maybe she should stick to what she knows instead of trying to undermine the election integrity of the united states. president trump's fighting for election integrity and making sure that every ballot in the united states is a valid gets counted. we will make sure we protect that here on the campaign. >> jason: greg, authenticating the post should be the mantra. if on the one side you want

voter integrity, you got to be able to authenticate the votes and yet the democrats are fighting for their very issues that would make that impossible. >> yeah, they're trying to disenfranchise voters and they don't even know it. part of the problem is that the state election officials hire vendors pretty ballots but because now we are talking about millions and millions of ballots they can't get it done inse tim. it doesn't get returned to the election officials who send it out to the voters in time. the ballots get received with the votes cast after the election so they are disqualified. you've gotqu all the problems tt could have been corrected up over the years state officials had decided to invest the money for universal mail in balloting. but they haven't. look at some of the states where they've experienced this in washington state for example, 300,000 ballots. 300,000! listed as unknown. they are very practiced and universal mail in balloting and

of course in new jersey, you have fraud among city councilman a roasted with others. and you are, crime areas, couple wants toy go. thousand ballots were disqualified and one in five voter ballots did not get counted. >> jason: yeah, voters have got to get the ballots, get them early andm the men in person tht they possibly can or certainly get them in the mail process earlier than later. thank you guys for joining us tonight and we appreciate it. coming out, liberal cities in crisis. this includes los angeles were even celebrities are fleeting in droves. it emily compagno and lisa boothe joins us right after the break. stay with us on the special edition of "hannity" continues. ♪

up there and i've already moved from california and it breaks my heart to see the state crumble. but the reality is that california has been a slow-motion train wreck for yearsas. the state sees residence income as a state income. that's why they proposed a wealth tax on worldwide assets and not just the efforts in california and why the state proposed to income tax that's astronomical over the existing income tax. keep in mind, piggybacking out and lisa was talking about in terms of the deterioration of the interior of the cities, l.a. county saw a 13% increase in homelessness just this year. the city sought a 16% increase in that's on top of the mayor and locating a $10.6 billion budget that broke records last year 4,430,000,000 which went to cover the homeless situation. clearly it didn't work. the issue is that californians over obligation across multiple industries as leading to the financial hemorrhaging as we are

all watching in sync. at the state is trying to claw back in from the residence isn't working. that's why the residents are moving. >> jason: lisa, this is all precovid. you know, covid, certainly exacerbated the situation. but these policies that the liberals are putting into play that gave rise to the murder rates inin homelessness, that happened well before. >> it did. a lot of the cities, but obviously it's gotten worse because of covid, gotten worse because of the crime and gotten worse because some of the policy decisions that we are sitting the cities make. one thing that's different now that we saw previous and a mass exodus from the city like even if you look at the late 1960s because of covid, you had so many companies and employers realize i don't have to live in new york city to get the job y

done. i don't have to have my employees based out of cities like los angeles to get the job done. why am i paying an enormous amount of money for the buildings to run there or as an individual, why amen i paying an enormous amount of money in new york city, new york, city to literally live in a shoe box and not be safe taking the subway. a woman was almost raped at 11:8 a.m. you not safe anymore, paying enormous amount of money to live here. people are asking them that question of themselves why am i even living here? >> jason: i'vef got a heart out, thank you so much for joining us tonight. coming out, more of the special edition of "hannity" right afters. the break. ♪
