and groupthink. big show tomorrow as we close out the week. but in the meantime we have a surprise for you tonight, sean hannity is going to be taking over at 9:00 p.m.se >> sean: it's never a surprise, it's always timed out perfectly., anyway tucker, thank you in great show. welcome to hannity. we begin with multiple fox news alert's. two police officers shot during what some media mob outlets described as mostly peaceful protests in the city. the media mob, they just lined out with complete can be abandoned. tonight we will monitor theth situation on the ground in louisville and elsewhere around the country, and we will take you there live in breaking news. russian spies, by zach court lies and corruption at the

highest levels. you couldn't write this in a spy novel and it's all proven, explosive new classified material that confirms that christopher steele's dirty dossier in fact relied upon material from that one sub source, the sub source we now know that the fbi knew for a decade wasd a russian spy. they knew it and they continue to use the dirty russian disinformation dossier with the sub source russian spy, to use that to get the dossier as part ofty the fisa application to spy on donald trump. we knew for years that the sub source was a russian operative and yet they still use the misinformation to acquire a series of fisa warrants. comey himself served three out of the four winds. also, shocking new evidence as it relates to lieutenant general michael flynn.

we got them all right here, all of them. in shocking detail. sidney powell's new filing that she put out today, new text messages and handwritten notes. general flynn was railroaded and they knew it by the obama administration and they knew exactly what they were doing and we have the evidence. also tonight we begin with, while reviewing the events of last night, now with this program we support and we applaud. peaceful protesting, no problem whatsoever. and much of what happened last night was despicable. and we have police at body cam footage actually captured at the moment the shooting began. >> shots fired, shots fired. right there.

right there. off the ground right there. right there. we got an officer down. >> officer down, they are backing officers out. >> sean: major aubrey gregory was shot in the leg and he has been released from the hospital. officer robinson day roche was shot in the stomach and no recovering from surgery. our prayers are with both of these officers and both of the families, over now 3,000 officers hurt in the summer of, nonviolence according to the media and kamala harris.

no mistake, this does not honor the life of breonna taylor. she was an emt and nurse and dedicated her life to saving other people. the senseless violence has got to stop. the shooting, the riots, the arson and the looting is not acceptable and only serves to further suffering of innocent people. for months, prominent democrats have pretty much all but encourage the violence and they stoped to the flames of rage and they bow down to an angry mob. djoe biden, you remember police become the enemy. kamala harris had to say about radical demonstrations. >> after the murders of breonna taylor and george and ahmed and so many others, it's no wonder people are taking to the street. >> this movement will not be deterred.

will not accept anything else than real substantial substantive solutions. everyone beware because they are not going to stop. they will not stop before election day in november and not stop after election day and that should be -- everyone should take note of that on both levels, that they are not going to let up and they should not. >> sean: the same, harris, the praise, and remember biden campaigns coming to the end of cash bail and that's been on unmitigated disaster in the state of in new york. demonstrations festering in america's democratic run cities and they've been running them for decades.

last night, polio process with townhall.com captured this footage in louisville. now take a look, this is the daytime. this is a u-haul truck and it pulled up and started delivering. let's see, shields and riot gear and anarchist material to dozens of so-called peaceful protesters. they had this all ready to go during the day yesterday, only a very short time after the grand jury decision it makes you wonder was it all planned because it appears so. they live in peace, and just trying to have a peaceful dinner at a restaurant outside, supporting local business and who need support. take a look. >> [crowd noise].

>> sean: so what do you guys have to say about that? is that acceptable to you guys? you say this isn't going to end, weak and frail joe biden who ends his day at 9:00 a.m. every day and says nothing. what about the scene from los angeles where black lives matter protesters are shouting profanities at fho h an african-american police officer? why should any police officer have to put up with this? while i would say what we are watching here is, as i've been

>> [bleep] [bleep] >> sean: while i would say what we are watching here is, as i've been saying all summer, this is a preview of coming attack, attractions. that's before the medical, and american life is evil, they want to burn it to the ground and the media always justifieses it. they actually agree with it and cheer it on. one commentator was saying this week, burn it down. joining us now at the very latest on the ground in louisville, our own matt finn. what's the latest?or he's apparently not there. joining us now, fox news contributor dan bongino. you know, i'm looking at the scene. you know, it's an act of hostility if somebody takes their finger, dan bongino, and

puts it in their face, that close to your face. that would be a threat by any definition. now i know what to do if someone puts their finger in my face, i'm going to push it back and they are going to push their finger down and they are not i going to like it. >> these are protests. when you see a peaceful protest it's obvious what it is. they are people, not beating this not out of anyone and maybe they have a sign and maybe they don't but they are there to protest something. for the liberals watching who have a toughth time, the key demarcation for me, when it's a peaceful protest, when they tell me what they are protesting about, they want to protest something. w i've been in the middle of one of the so-called peaceful protests at night and i've said many in the network, this is so-called blm peaceful protests. they threatened to rate my wife a couple of times, and they

followed us for about 3 miles, threats and ethnic insults to my wife, who is hispanic. police tell me -- this was a blm group by the way, and what were they protesting? again, between those rape threats and the violence in the ethnic slurs directed at my wife, what exactly were you protesting? these are not protesters, the democrats shot troops on the front line trying to scare you, that's what they are. >> sean: geraldo, you are celebrating 50 wonderful years and a lot of those years you were out on the street with people. you can see tonight that things are a lot more peaceful than last night, and apparently

that's not there. and you see somebody right in your grill as you call it, with their finger in your face. not one person but multiple people. that's an act of hostility. cops now are told that this is their normal and they have to take this. they have to put up with this. who wants to do that job? >> you know sean, the cops who do this job are the heroes and i don't think enough has been made over the fact that the cop who is most seriously injured, robinson jay roche, was a black man. he was shot in the gut by the sniper. i also want to say something about the relativity. of things. i understand that arson and looting and the rioting, we respond to that in a visceral way. we are horrified by it, anarchy is everywhere and the rule of law is eroding.

people don't have confidence in the system anymore but you know what really tells that i think most eloquently is the scene in the restaurant. here's a couple, just innocent joe and jane doe having dinner and they are outdoors because of restaurants indoors are restricted and so the outdoors restaurantst industry is so troubled and employees are hanging onto the drugs at their fingertips, now comes the punks. what's your reaction going to be? i know from a history how i would respond. i understand that it's trespassing and harassment, probably assault also. but they are pushing me and pushing me and i'm forced to respond.as once i respond i know i'm going to be in the complication and molasses of the criminal justice system and it will wreck my life. but this punkness, that

something -- if there is as good a reason to vote for donald trump is anything i can think of, they are campaigning and they don't realize it may be, they don't realize they are campaigning for the republican and campaigning for the president because people can be so repulsed by these punks that they can be driven to donald trump even if they don't want to vote for you for cawhatever reason. this is the mostst ill-conceived -- the way these movements are called is acting out and counterproductive to everyone. cops are being shot, even black cops are being shot. everyone's nerves are on edge and the races are divided, black-and-white and people don't know -- the grounding is eroding. this is something -- and if you look at the other cable channels, they barely cover it. a cop shot in the belly, black cops shot in the belly, how many of them have said what i just

said? a black cop was shot in louisville, kentucky. you know, in political terms we can understand the impact of it but there's also an emotional aspect that's very unnerving. >> sean: geraldo and dan bongino, thank you both. now turn to breaking news and we were right with more so than we knew. federal court filing from flynn attorney, sidney powell now has access to a treasure trove of documents that should shock you to our core. look at these text messages and notes released today. august 11, 2016, and 1 agent remarking, and some of these guys want a clinton presidency. i'm telling you, if this thing ever gets freedom of information

act request data, guess what, there will be some tough questions asked. that didn't stop them after the election, conspiratorial nature of what they had done with crossfire hurricane andth they purchased professional liability insurance. it turns out they actually obtained an insurance policy because of the implementation of the insurance policy that peter strzok and lisa page talked about. that's the infamous january 5th meeting of the oval office between obama, biden, yates, comey and klapper. remember's that was the meeting where obama and biden look for ways to set general flynn up. by the way, get their best people on the matter. the one agent fear the worst, that this was a political hit job at writing, trump was right. why do we do this to this to ourselves.

even disgraced former fbi talks about how odd circumstances are. writing open, nothing comes close, everything black male. theoretically possible but not the strongest theory. one agent, it's gone don't like going be someone on staff. usede

steele dossier that hillary paid for is a book of evidence, without which they get no fisa warrant against the trump campaign, and that steals dirty disinformation. we now know the sub source was not only reliable but the fbi knew this person without any doubt from day one. to be a russian agent, in fact between may of 2009 and march of 2011, the fbi was investigating the person. they knew for ten years he was a russian spy. that means the source of the steele dossier was a russian spy and hillary paid for it all. and our fbi james comey with the entire time.

the russian intel officers were reportedly very close, at least one of his coworkers had an american think tank and told the fbi that they suspected such. lots more details to come. senator lindsey graham has been all over this and we will continue to put more of it on the screen. senator, so they knew that the sub source was a russian spy. >> it's on december 2016 they figured out who the primary sub source was and then they check to their database and found out that this individual was suspected by the fbi all the way back through 2009 of being a russian agent. they had information that he tried to offer money for a classified information to obama officials, that he was inquiring about military vessels and he was seen at the russian embassy back in 2006 trying to drop information off to the russian embassy put in a diplomatic pouch. so here's the point.

the fisa court was never told this and were never informed that the dossier primary sub source was a suspected russian agent. and in january, they applied for a warrant against carter page using the dossier knowing that the sub source was a suspected russian agent and they never told the court that they eventually interviewed the russian sub source and he tells him the dossier is unreliable and they use it yet again. >> sean: you know i'm trying to understand this because it matters for the safety and security of the united states. hillary clinton paid for russian disinformation and they knew the sub source was a russian contacted agent, they knew it for ten years. i'm told that he warned the fbi

and doj and there were contacts with russians and the clinton campaign and they treated it all differently. is that also coming out in it? >> there's more coming, that you would find something that would make you mad more than wiping the phones. it makes me mad that the fbi knew that the primary sub source, a single individual was a suspected russian agent and the use that person's work products to get a warrant on an american citizen on four different occasions. they never informed of the court of exculpatory evidence. i want to think their own for allowing this to come forward and i want to thank them for providing this information. and here's what's important. there knew about this, their own has investigated this matter so there are some people tonight

that had to be very worried because now we know the fbi in december 2016 knew that the dossier was being prepared by russian agent never told the court. this was a massive effort by russia to do a disinformation campaign against the trump campaign and it worked. the fbi use to document and i hope this is a game changer, i hope that the traditional media will look at this abuse of power. >> sean: maybe that's why they are targeting you and your race so much like barbra streisand and rosie o'donnell. >> i might be overwhelmed. lindsey graham.com, help me. they are killing me moneywise. >> sean: while rosie should be able to decide and barbra streisand should be able

to decide the sock on a senate race. when we come back from members of the mob and the media, ignoring an explosive senate report about hunter biden. the homeland security panel

and you are not getting a billion dollars until you fire a ukrainian prosecutor who is investigating my son being paid millions for no experience. so let's play the little game and replace hunter biden with say donald trump jr. and that would be 24/7 around-the-clock hysteria. there were two sets of rules, one for the democratic swamp in washington and one for the rest of us. the republicans are leased exposing it and taking action and taking forever. senator rand paul's of the homeland security panel will further report to the department of justice for criminal probe.

and and of course he ends his day at nine or 10:00 a.m. every day. so what did he know and why did you allow your sunday is our position as vice president to do all these sketchy deals with oligarchs in russia and ukraine and $1.5 billion deal do you make any money from these deals and is that the why you are more of their travel ban? this will be the tipping point of election. the democratic party, the

deep state and operatives, all hands on deck. and even worse than 2016, they are there to protect the swamp of bureaucracy and do any and all things possible to destroy president trump even if it means electing a frail, weak, corrupt figure like joe biden. god help this country. here with reaction, the author of profile and corruption, gregg jarrett with secret empires. hold on a second, i guess we don't have them up now. are we going to get the right people up? that's for the next segment. there we go, peter schweizer. he wrote the book secret empire and, it's even worse than you described. we are to the point where the senate has looked into this, and

if you don't use tools and what they've shown is that hunter biden was involved in a serious of foreign that triggered these activity reports called sar transactions by the treasury department. these are triggered when money is flowing from either sketchy individuals or the amount of money in question is raising alarm bells. this is not a question of anonymous sources or speculation, we now know that money changed hands and we know who it came from. we know it came from countries who are our rivals and we know it came from very corrupt entities around the world. the question sean continues to be why did they give hunter biden this money? they were paying for something and these are not charities and

that's the question that hunter biden and joe biden need to answer. >> there's this russian sub source, and they still use this information is the basis for the phis application. we are learning tonight, i don't know why four years later we are getting even more devastating text messages from peter strzok and all this other fbi guys and notes with andrew mccabe. that are as incriminating as anything we've got before. why is it that peter schweizer nailed this years ago and it and still only one person held accountable on the russian side of this. >> a lot of this has been covered up by the obama and biden association for years and the intel communiwell as the fbi.

there is a report that accuses hunter biden of influencing, heavily profiteering and directly connected to his father who said and we know about it and we spoke to the sun about it. it's a crime to benefit a foreign government in exchange for something of value for yourself or your relatives including her son. it's public corruption. all of those words gets thrown around a lot. think about this and at the same time his father rand paul is

right. let's end this with the department of justice and have all the lawyers take a look at it, and decide whether a criminal prosecution is merited. , crickets about this. they are not neutral news >> you can see all of these

officers here, forming a line, keeping an eye on these protesters. they will have to disperse soon, once they do that, back on public property, not violating the curfew, perhaps we will see some arrests soon, sean. >> sean: what about rioters reports, they are smashing windows at the city library, seeing the reports of police arresting mass individuals, in violation of all of this. i am seeing that a lot more, all of the flare, how was that library doing, apparently had a flare thrown into it. what about the smashing of windows and targeting businesses? what do you see? i am seeing a lot of pictures on social media. what are you seeing on the ground? >> we have walked along with these protesters were a few miles, we saw them smash windows, we seldom destroy

property. they were chanting for affinities against police. they ended up right here on this church property, which is likely private property, and officers began warning them that this was an unlawful assembly. we actually saw some of the protesters push a very large dumpster up against one of the streets here, likely to perhaps block any vehicles from getting in. really this has kind of become a showdown. once these dozens if not more than 100 people walk off his property, they will likely be violating the curfew and perhaps police will start making arrests, sean. we did see destruction on the way over here last night. >> sean: militia people were confronted by some. >> a few hours ago, we saw a group march over to a hampton inn hotel, and they confronted a bunch of people who were in camo gear, they were carrying guns, and there was a pretty heated conversation. i don't know if that was militia or what those people were doing, might have been here on business.

there was a confrontation earlier tonight. fortunately, that ended peacefully. >> sean: a couple of confrontations they are. thank you, matt finn. now rampant hypocrisy affecting every corner of the new extreme socialist lawless democratic party, especially on the issue of race. while democrats and their boring fans in the mob and the media preach tolerance, they continue to spew nonstop hatred toward any african-american who might happen to be conservative. listen to the smears against the kentucky attorney general, daniel cameron, take a look. >> let me say this as a black woman, he does not speak for black folks. he is not kinfolk. >> i am disgusted by daniel cameron's performance. i am so sick and tired of black people performing for violence and white supremacy and state-sponsored violence against black people. i'm tired of people -- i am sitting here in my house right now, i can't hear much. so if cops busted into my house right now and shot me on the

air, would daniel cameron basically told america, is that that would be legal. >> sean: civil rights attorney leo terrell, football legend herschel walker. you had some pretty interesting comments. i had mentioned that 4,000 homicides took place in obama's home city of chicago. homicides. in eight years he was president, and joe biden was vice president. almost 20,000 people were shot in that eight year period, nobody ever mentioned the names of people -- i know i did on this show, i scrolled the names, i don't know what other people did. and yet now all of a sudden, why do we hear about one or two cases? >> well, you know, cast the first stone, one of the things i think is very, very sad, the ag did the right thing. he went by what he had, he is going by what the law is, you know, everyone is out there marching, they were going to do this no matter what the verdict was going to be, because they

already prepared for it. the thing is, and i say this, they has for justice, well, can you tell us what they are looking for with injustice? what are you looking for injustice? what do you mean by justice? are you talking about guilty or a trial? tell us exactly what you are asking for. it is wrong to call them names and it is okay for african-americans to get on the television and talk about other african-americans, that is so great and that just tells you who they are because everyone has the right to their opinion, but there is two sides to every story, and i have said every time, i think people have to understand that. >> sean: and how does this impact the election? it is kind of basic and simple, leo tirrell. you can't pursue happiness if you don't have law and order and see if the insecurity, can you? >> no. can you see how happy i am since i left the democratic plantation? i am smiling. let me tell you what is going on. those two commentators, the two black commentators, they play

the race card. they challenge our blackness if we are not voting is a block. name me one ethnic, religious group that both as a block. they are challenging my ethnicity, herschel's ethnicity because they took a beating in 2016. blacks did come out for hillary, so they are trying to intimidate and scare blacks to vote democrat. that is a joe biden playing card. democrats like me, much happier, i am smiling because i left that plantation and a lot of blacks are going to vote for donald trump, and that is the fear that they have, because the low numbers in 2016 and the rising number of black voters and hispanic voters voting for trump in 2020. that is their biggest fear. no group on the planet both as a block. that is the joe biden play book for all blacks, we reject that. >> sean: pretty unbelievable stuff. >> may say one thing, sean? may i say one thing? one of the things i think is

very, very sad, and i always respect the obamas, they showed black, brown, and yellow people that you can be president of the united states, but i ask all the african-americans out there, what did obama do for the african-american community? >> nothing, nothing. >> today, i see today, when mrs. obama says some of the negative things, so much racism going on, and of course i ask this, you two where the most powerful people in the world but what did do for the change? also, look at congress, you have over 50 something african-americans in congress, where this is such a racial country, why are they not passing a law to change anything? you want to speak for us, that is why i tell the people, got to recognize that. quit pointing fingers at an ag that at the right thing. he went by th. going by the constitution.

>> sean, look, here is a zero for obama, this is trump. historically, low unemployment, first step, opportunity zone. 4-0. 4-0, trump versus obama-biden for the 47 years, biden has been in office and the eight years that obama was serving president. trump i'm a landslide, big landslide. >> sean: from your lips. we will see, thank you both. when we come back, the left is losing their collective minds over president trump's responsibility to nominate a supreme court justice. 29 times vacancies, 29 times presidents have filled the positions. you won't gas would hillary clinton has to say about all of this. matt gaetz, tammy bruce, straight ahead. ♪ matt gaetz and tammy bruce a smile has the power to get you feelin' alright. at aspen dental, we're making every day a little brighter with our smile wide, smile safe promise.

>> sean: justice ruth bader ginsburg successor continues to heat up. yesterday, joe biden claimed the president exercising his authority to replace justice ginsburg as an abuse of power. hillary clinton also decided to weigh in on the matter, calling the fight to replace justice ginsburg diabolical, but

before insisting that the goal is to repeal obamacare. meanwhile, the ever crazy or nancy pelosi is now flipping and flopping on a possible impeachment to block a vote on president trump's nominee, using the excuse that she doesn't think he is worth the trouble. as a left-wing media mob begins its all-out assault on the frontrunner, amy coney barrett, reportedly growing concern among democrats, senate judiciary committee ranking member dianne feinstein could be a liability infighting trump's nominee, and also say that she's not up to the job and her saying, there's nothing she can do to stop it anyway in spite of what nancy pelosi says. here with markham a florida congressman, author of the new book "firebrand," matt gaetz with us. fox news contributor tammy bruce. okay, there is nothing nancy can do to stop it, but matt, what they are saying is, they will stack the courts, they will end the electoral college, they will get rid of the legislative filibuster, they will impeach

the president, they will impeach the attorney general. those are all stated comments. then they say, maybe we can't say it publicly so we will pull back from that. >> the american people know that for nancy pelosi, this isn't about justice, it's about power. we all know that if she could come and nancy pelosi would be willing to skinny-dip across the potomac river if she thought she could walk president trump's nominee to the court, but she can't. we have the power, and we should use that power to ensure that we allow a court to interpret our first amendment rights correctly, our second amendment rights correctly, so hillary clinton knows that you can't get people to just vote for joe biden or stand in the way of this nomination, so she's trying to change the subject and make it all me about obamacare, a supreme court that has reshaped is about so much more. this is going to be one of the enduring legacies of the trump administration and i think if democrats continue with this slash and burn approach, the voters will reject them, it will

backfire just like it did with judge kavanaugh. >> sean: your take, tammy? >> well, i think of course matt is absolutely right. never suggest for skinny-dipping. that is a site i don't think any of us want to imagine. at the same time, what we have got a dynamic where, like white joe biden saying this is a power grab. donald trump has reshaped how these things work. i think that this is the first time under trump's presidency where the g.o.p. is now expected to get something done. so this is about perhaps, for the first time, the democrats realizing that the g.o.p. is not as easy to control or to have them go along to get along, that he is going to move forward with this nominee and that it is going to work, so there is a significant change here. when it comes to dianne feinstein, if i can say, i think she may realize after the debacle of kavanaugh and the debacle of the impeachment, both

of which help the republicans and donald trump, she understands that you can't do the shock and awe because that backfires on us. usually the democrats, they never learn, they go too far, and all of these comments indicate this is why democrat cities are in flames, because the democrats, they are reaction now is to go to literally and figuratively burn things down. americans don't like it. we rejected it in 2016, throughout trump's presidency, we've been rejecting their approach, and now they are really going to have to pony up to show that they can actually be states people and to do things in a normal, persuasive weight, but i don't think we are going to see it. >> sean: last word, matt gaetz, 30 seconds. >> joe biden accusing this president of an abuse of power is the richest of ironies. the democrats always accuse us of the stuff they are doing. what we learned today exposes the biden-obama administration

as one of the most corrupt in history because they were willing to weaponize our fbi and intelligence community against our country. we told the american people the truth for years, sean, now the evidence is laid bare, and i think the voters will punish biden for the corrupt obama-biden administration. >> sean: powerful institutional forces are all aligned to stop this president with every bit of power they have. the only people that can stop it are the american people. we will know in 40 days. up next, one of the cops shot last night in louisville walked into one of the role because of the police station today. that video next. ♪ so what's going on?

than 24 hours after being wounded in the line of duty. amazing to see. real heroes. we forgot, haven't we come i forgot the cops of 9/11, forgot the cops on those were fields. thoughts and prayers with the families and the officers that were shocked and everyone else. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham ready to take it away. >> laura: most people in america, these are good people, hardworking people, they want their kids in school, they want their kids playing sports, and they love the police. they love law enforcement, people in uniform, no one is perfect, there is always going to be a bad actor and life in every group, but i think what we are sitting on the streets of urban america and suburban america, that is not this country. that is a violent, anarchic, oftentimes racist group of people who want to cause trouble. >> laura: kamala harris told us in june, not going to stop, not going to stop, n
