peacefully. we are not going to put up with us. we could potentially see action from the police and the next 24 hours. the on>> tucker: it is happenin. jason rantz, good to see you. and with that, we are out of time and sean hannity takes over. have a great night. >> sean: i don't want to jump the gun here. todatoday just hear what you sa? i think i heard it right. you get what you put up with. that's the truth. you let your kids smoke weed at the breakfast table, guess what, they will. so how's that? >> sean: listen to tucker, mom and dad. welcome to "hannity." we start tonight's foss mike fox news alert. this is important and it is now getting beyond interesting. requesting to join what is becoming a major texas lawsuit contesting the election results, specifically about georgia, wisconsin, michigan, and

pennsylvania at the highest court in the land. and that's not all. this is truly significant. 17 other states including missouri, alabama, arkansas, florida, indiana, kansas, louisiana, many others filing a brief with the u.s. supreme court. and by the way, many are expected to join the case in support of what would then become a landmark supreme court case. let's be clear, no states attorney general, you've got to understand politics here, whatever put their name or reputation on the line over a case that lacks merit on the law or without a strong constitutional basis. definitely not 17 attorneys general. that is what happened. 18 total when you include texas. no matter what political alliances they have or don't have. now, we will have an important analysis. lara trump, also a hand of the investigation tonight into congressman, eric swalwell's former relationship with what appears to be, yep, a chinese

spy on the intelligence committee. and straight ahead, a full report on new legal troubles for zero experience hunter biden who just announced he is under federal investigation surrounding taxes. tonight, we will report details that nobody else has. now, first we begin and turn our attention to the united states supreme court, where the state of texas is leading the fight to restore election integrity. by the way, we see most americans now, some cases polls as high as 80% say they see fraud in this recent election. as we laid out the detail last night, this case now hinges on two series well have been documented arguments. one come about the suit details how article two of the u.s. constitution was violated. article two requires state legislature to decide election policy. this was violated. including in pennsylvania when

the male-invalid deadline was pushed back without any lawmaker, any legislative approval, and only a state legislature has the constitutional right to do that. the state of georgia with a horrendous consent decree entered into after a democratic party lawsuit earlier this year which are just of state. well, secretary of state had no right to do that because that secretary of state was also acting without legislator approval flagrantly unconstitutional. the second argument surrounds, well, the unequal application of the law and when poll workers in partisan observers encounter different roles in different counties, equal protection laws, yeah, it has obviously been violated as chris kovach accurately pointed out, if texas prevails, there are multiple av. for example, state legislatures in georgia, wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania, they could exclude ballots in violation of state law.

they could divide their electoral college votes between the two candidates. there are numerous constitutional remedies for the supreme court. but the suit makes one thing perfectly clear. illegal votes can't be counted. and now we have 17 other states attorney general's joining. this is big news tonight. this is a serious legal challenge and one by the way that is going to be on the u.s. supreme court to provide clarity, and election process that now millions recognize they can no longer have trust and confidence in. 20% of republicans have confidence in election results. 62%, they don't even want the president to concede election after this mess. a huge majority of republicans, well, they now see that the election was fraudulent and corrupt. so tonight, one thing is very clear. if we don't fix what is a broken corrupt election system, the country is in deep trouble. in a new letter to president trump, house republicans are calling for a

special counsel for a full investigation into all these election irregularities, which we have on this program documenting independently, as we always do, night after night, after night, including the partisan observers being blocked from the counting process or chain of custody issues with ballots or ballots mysteriously going missing and mysteriously reappearing weeks later. or varying signature verification standards. and even dead people voting. and this comes as we are also learning tonight about a new complaint filed in georgia by state republican chairman, david shafer and president donald trump alleging that tens of thousands of votes cast in georgia were actually fraudulent. they identified what they believe are too thousand felons, 60,000 underage voters. great that that can happen. 2500 people who were not on the state's voter rolls. a whopping 40,000 who had moved

counties without reregistering. and during the wide state irregularities in every battleground state, it's no wonder that americans have lost faith in this entire process. while, will that faith ever be restored? will the supreme court at least here arguments with the suit from the state of texas? will the attorney general appoint a special counsel to investigate this year's election irregularities? will this change anything? now, obviously the clock is ticking. unfortunately tonight we still have more questions than we do answers. joining us now with more from the trump campaign is lara trump. you know, one of the things is, and i don't question anybody's intentions here, lara, at all and i think a lot of people were probably caught off guard and you have people with the best of intentions working in every direction while simultaneously getting all of the eye witnesses, signing affidavits. that takes a lot of time and then we can eventually hear from them, which we did for two

weeks. now we've got 17 attorney generals. this is impressive. speak a while, it's impressive and it's fantastic to see. it's actually a beautifully-written argument there by the state of texas. and now we have 17 states come as you said that joined. what this lawsuit is saying is that the reality is election laws in the states of georgia come pennsylvania, and michigan, were violated. they did not follow their state election laws and because of that, it disenfranchises every single american voter added is a really incredible thing to see, because you are right, sean, we need to know that our elections are free and fair and that every legitimate vote is counted. whenever you had a situation like we saw in this election where they tried 90 days before this presidential election to change the way we vote in the united states of america, they did not -- they just changed via the

secretary of state or other people on the election board. they changed the laws and they are not allowed to do that. it is unconstitutional. we are really excited about this. it's a big step forward and we are really excited to see the results of this. >> sean: at the clock is what it is. you know, it's amazing the power of the u.s. supreme court when you have a disagreement between the legislative branch and executive branch, it is the judicial branch that resolves it and has enormous power. but even that court is hinged on politics. i think john roberts and the obamacare ruling is a perfect case in point. but then i look at people like samuel alito and clarence thomas and amy coney barrett. i don't have a good read yet on judge kavanaugh. i don't have a good read on the constitution. it highlights the importance off those three seats that were filled by the president. >> that's right. no, this is very important. if you ever wonder why it is so

important to make sure that you have a great supreme court justices on the bench, this is the example. it is right here right now. and look, the president i think put in really great people. we will see what happens with this but the reality is that the constitution is at stake right now and if the selection is allowed to go forward and if fraudulent votes are allowed to be counted at people do not have faith in the system, america is all but gone. and so we want to uphold and protect the united states constitution. let's hope that the supreme court feels the same way. >> sean: you know, with all the irregularities and then you look at these polls and you see, upwards of 80 plus percent of republicans don't have faith in the outcome. how do we have elections and able to highlight and chronicle all of the things that we, and like the russia thing. peeling every layer of the onion every day. and more and more as we discover, people have no faith.

they have no confidence in the results. >> welcome a 30% of democrats don't believe that joe biden won this election. they don't even believe the results of the selection. >> sean: good points. speak of the democrats have been trying to do this for a long time, sean. nancy pelosi, her bill as speaker of the house tried to evoke election i.d. laws. she tried to slip into universal vote by mail. they have been trying to change the system and really have unfortunately done a masterful job of it and here we are now. we still do not have the legitimate results of this election. but that's why the supreme court case is so, so important. i hope we get a good outcome and i hope that our constitution is upheld. >> sean: i have known you and eric a long time. did eric happen to see a poll out of north carolina today? i am just curious. >> [laughs] >> sean: i happen to know that the u.s. senate seat is open and two years and you are at the top.

>> i am so flattered. i am so humbled. my husband did see and i think he tweeted it. so i appreciate that from him. i was honored to represent that. we will see. >> sean: very happy to know that we didn't have to learn watching the show. but you are from north carolina and may be open to it? >> listen, i'm open to anything but we are fighting for this election right now. this battle is still ongoing. this is far from over. we'll see what happens with that senate seat. but that was a pretty incredible poll. it was incredible to see that. >> sean: joining us, chief of staff. now you know, you told me about this timeline that existed. you also explained in great detail. i want you to go back in the beginning here. because you were right in the beginning and i would have liked to come i would like to still see it. the way it was characterized by the media, in terms of the

pennsylvania case, which they will go back. the pennsylvania and your state of wisconsin. i look at the law. there is no mail and balloting, very limited mail and battling. explain what happened there. >> well, thanks, sean. what lara said about the texas case is true because the state of wisconsin, the clerks didn't follow the law. wisconsin is a little different because it's not about whether someone called and 50,000 ballots in a u-haul trailer. what wisconsin is about is whether the clerks and the people responsible for conducting the election conducted it in any legal matter. i have been fighting the situation here in wisconsin for 20 years. but it culminated this time with three things. i will give you three examples. number one, they decided that they were going to have in

person absentee ballot voting to create a system in wisconsin which doesn't exist, which is early vote except in wisconsin law. it is very clear and unequivocal that absentee ballots are not a right. it's a privilege. that means you have to follow the rules and they didn't follow the rules. they didn't have absentee ballot applications. number two, they created this entire system of people showing up, voting early, but not following absentee ballot rules. that's number one. number two, the clerks decided instructed by the election commission to fill out parts of the absentee ballot envelopes for the particular voters. what the state law says is unequivocal. it says that that valid, if that happens, should not be counted. number three, the clerks set up an in person ballot system in dane county where they went to parks. they set up picnic tables everywhere and a dane county

clerk decided that if you wanted to declare yourself indefinitely confined, which is usually for unfortunate elderly people in this country that can't get out of nursing homes. you can declare yourself indefinitely confined contrary to the state law without a photo i.d. and show up and vote. and so this is about, and by the way, these are things that have been getting worse, and worse, and worse over time in wisconsin. the milwaukee police department many years ago issued a report, and you can find it in 70 some pages long. it talks about all of these kinds of problems, not the specific ones because these are a lot worse. but the kind of things that people not enforcing the law, felons voting, felons being hired to be election inspectors. he goes on and on. the point is, sean, it is true that in the case of wisconsin, this is about the state itself and its people enforced with conducting the election not

following the law. in the democrats don't have a response. >> sean: the amazing thing also is the wisconsin supreme court, you explain on the show, has previously weighed in on what would be the president's arguments, correct? >> well, it's funny because in the footnote, the commission issues some guidance to ask clerics about how to conduct the elections. in the guidance, it says do, b come and see. and then there is a footnote. it says contrary to what we are saying, by the way, see this case over here. this case over here is a case that shows that when a clerk issued absentee ballots without an absentee ballot request form, those ballots were pulled randomly out of the box. it overturned an election in that case and the result was the

other person running for office actually won. it's the exact same pattern that the trump campaign is arguing. the only difference is that instead of it being like ten or 12 ballots, it's 100,000 ballots. that's the issue for the court. the democrats aren't arguing substantially on the legal part of this case. they are arguing, well, you should have brought the case sooner. >> sean: that's meaningless. >> that's not a strong argument on the merits of this case. >> sean: and the supreme court, when they did say you've got to have a lower court first, clear three of the seven. we are not doing this because we are saying this lacks merit. don't think that. that's interesting. all right, thank you. >> the chief judge. >> sean: go ahead. the chief what? >> okay, the chief judge set exactly when the court decided to send it to the circuit court first, the intention was that it would go back to the

supreme court by this weekend but the chief justice said that people were misinterpreting this decision as to say that this case doesn't have merit and her exact words about the trump campaign case is that nothing could be further from the truth. >> sean: powerful statement. thank you. joining us now with more. all right, 17 attorneys. i'm talking to people in some states. these attorneys, generals and some of them want to join texas in the actual case. note, there is no attorney general that is going to sign onto a case that is lacking in law or constitutionality. not going to happen. >> yeah, knocking to happen, sean. and they signed on because they see how strong this case is. this case, for those who read it, it goes state-by-state. it shows how what happened is unconstitutional by democratic secretary of state. it could have been outcome determinative and it gets into

specifics, sean. it gets into state-by-state where it shows that in pennsylvania there were 118,000 ballots according to 15 state legislators that had questionable postmark dates. it goes into the fact that you have 160,000 more people saying i am indefinitely confined for fear of covid. georgia had the same rejection rates for ballots this time around that you would have 25,000 more ballots thrown out. it state-by-state here one more to share with you, sean. in michigan, right here they found that they could not be matched with a voter who was registered in the state. there was no registration number with the ballot. this is significant, which is why you have 18 states signing onto this by the state of texas. >> sean: you gave out a statistic yesterday on the quadrillions statistic in terms

of the stats you gave out. i listened to that and i was blown away. i watched the mob and the media, they actually attach your real affidavits and the real people showed up and they said oh, she was telling the truth. oh, they forgot that part. but explain how you got the number. >> yeah, i'm glad you asked that because you have fake new cnn showing that the numbers were blank when all you have to do was go look at a public court filing to read them yourself. but of course, they couldn't do that. that's the job of a reporter. they are having to do -- go the stat i gave last night which is eye-opening and truthful. in these four states, michigan pennsylvania, wisconsin, georg georgia. the probability of that in one state is one and one quadrille hquadrillionquadrillion.

because fake new cnn and others can't wake up and find enough energy to go read a public court filing, i did it for them. can find these sworn declarations by charles kashani, who by the way, phd from rutgers, tenured professor, expert testimony and hundreds of court cases. go through meticulously how he used disease scores and standard deviation from a medium to come up with this number. so, it's enough for a reporter to go find this. it's the duty on the job that each of these reporters have, to not look into this, to not look into what is available for all to read and see. >> sean: just to emphasize what you found in detroit, they list 174,384 absentee ballots out of 566,100,000 absentee ballots. 30% of those counted without a registration number four precincts in the city of

detroit. i hope america is watching. these are real numbers here. thank you. when we come back, hunter biden confirming today he is under a federal investigation for his tax affairs and sources are telling fox news that it has to do with links to china. information you won't get from the media. ron johnson, peter spicer. we hope you join us live with special report straight ahead. ♪ [ fizz ] joining meeting.

from delaware advised by legal counsel that they are investigating my tax affairs. now biden-harris also issuing a response. joe biden is deeply proud of his son. he could not be prouder. making all that money with no experience. he has fought through difficult challenges including vicious personal attacks in recent months only to emerge stronger. government sources telling fox news hunter biden is either a subject or a target of a grand jury investigation. tonight, sources also telling fox news the material on hunter's abandoned laptop is in fact evidence in the ongoing probe, which has been underway, we can report, since 2018. reportedly triggering a number of suspicious activity reports linking funds including china. according to a document obtained by fox on his laptop was filed under case code 272d. that is the fbi classification for monday money laundering.

our friend, peter will join us in a minute. right now, joe biden's lies about his knowledge of his son's dealings, hunter's lies about receiving money from foreign sources. remember him when asked about it last year on china? take a look. >> the president has repeatedly said that you received $1.5 billion from china despite no experience and for no apparent reason. obviously fact-checkers have said that that is not true. >> this is no fact in any way. >> have you received any money? at all? >> not 1 cent. >> definitely not 1.5 billion. because they feel like they have a license to go out and say whatever they want. >> sean: now, remember hunter biden's lawyer had to pull back on that, forced to walk back his

remarks. oh, hunter has equity in investments. he got millions from a state backed chinese company, received 3.5 company, the wire transfer from the first lady of moscow, a russian oligarch. the family got another plus grand for a shopping spree complements of a chinese national under his company. about 140 grand from an oligarch for a very expensive new car. and who could forget his dealings with breese t -- imagine if his name was don jr., ivanka, aaron trump, tiffany trump. but the story gets even bigger. joe biden appears to have been aware of all of it and let his son sell office to ask us to the biden presidency. his family got rich. here is the reaction. you have done an amazing job on these and other issues. senator ron john of wisconsin. this has been going on since

2018. your report has been devastating. and this goes back now, what, 2013, 2014, 2014, right? >> well, certainly they contract it. this has been happening for many, many years. but hunter said he didn't get a cent but he got millions of dollars. our report documents $5 million. showing about $6 million was paid into the account of rob walker. of course he said that he wanted to be a proxy or surrogate for the biden family. so there's $11 million from china. and i have to point out, the company they were dealing with, in 2013, they reported i think $23 million of income. and it just went proof. at that business just disappeared along with its chairman. that is the individual.

they have ties to the communist party in china. hunter biden was doing business with them and nancy pelosi was fully aware of. >> sean: i know he recovered fully from covid. i know you did as well. if you don't have experience and you are getting paid millions and then you have your father breaking to leveraging the billion-dollar taxpayer dollars, the sun making millions with zero experience. how is that not a quid and a pro and a quo? >> it's obvious to everyone except for the mainstream media. they are influencing interference in our election. the fact of the matter, there

are poles out now that 36% of biden voters had never heard of the hunter-biden story because of the censorship and suppression. once they found out, they said they wouldn't have voted for biden. though that means that 4.6% of biden voters would not have voted for him. that means that trump would have won the election. that is the enormous influence that social media and the liberal bias media played in this election. it just orders a magnitude greater than any russian or chinese or iran foreign to interference in this campaign. >> sean: senator, do me a favor, i am encouraging you to stay there. you outlined what went on in terms of you don't have absentee or you don't have early voting and all of the rules that were not followed in your state of wisconsin. i am fond of your state. and you have also said you don't rule out the possibility of

challenging electoral college results and the news at 17 attorney generals now have joined with texas as big news tonight. your thoughts. speak of the one thing i do is i have scheduled a hearing for next wednesday where we are examining the irregularities of the 2020 election. some of these irregularities are being examined by courts. but the ones that remain on next wednesday, we are going to bring in for example the attorney from wisconsin. they are going to describe what he talked about. there are like 42,000 people that voted twice. absentee and in person. dead people voting. out-of-state people voting. we are going to ask these questions. what about this truckload of ballots from new york headed toward philadelphia. how do you explain that type of thing? so, we are going to hold that hearing and we are going to ask those questions and we are going to ask for explanations because the american people deserve to know what happened. this is a terrible state of affairs where you have a great

percentage of the american public who don't view this election as legitimate because the democrats push the envelope. they did everything they could to make this a suspicious result. >> sean: are people understanding what was going on here? >> i think so. i was a little disappointed that the supreme court of wisconsin didn't take it up right away. but this is why i am going to hold this hearing because the american people need to hear it because once again, the news media is suppressing this. they are not covering hewing comic hearings on this. they are just glossing over like they did the ukrainian biden affair. no, of these things have not been debunked. there are legitimate questions that need to be answered. >> sean: all right, senator, thank you. thank you, senator johnson. he broke right here on this program is great book, secret empires in 2018." to the extent of hunter's dealings exposing how hunter biden got the sweetheart deals one after another despite no

experience, no qualifications, all while profiting off off with his father's diplomacy's overseas. peter spicer. my sources say this investigation has actually been ongoing since 2018. it is a real investigation and he may now be the target of an investigation and the news was about to break on this one way or another and it was going to be exposed. let me ask you first about china. he said in a gma interview i never got a penny from china. is he lying? >> well, he didn't get a penny from china. he got millions and millions of pennies from china. yeah, he is absolutely lying. and the thing to keep in mind here, sean, is there's a multitude of deals fro with chi. you've got the $1.5 billion private equity deal where he drives the board and he gets an equity stake. you've got rosemont realty and with a chinese company called jenngemini, hunter is involved n

that deal. we know about the cfc activities. part of the challenge here is we don't know the full extent to what hunter biden is doing because he had a myriad of accounts offshore, overseas. and what i would say, sean, is let's keep in mind that this is being presented as a tax case. one of the reasons prosecutors would want to lead with a tax case is the united states has tax privies with countries around the world that allows for a lot more broad information sharing when you are investigating a tax case then if you are investigating something else. so i don't think there should be any comfort to the biden family that this is only a tax case. i think this sort of the camel's nose under the tent. this gives them an opportunity to gain access to foreign bank accounts et cetera and we can start to unravel the full extent of the biden relationship with the chinese government. >> sean: between maris ukrainian

oligarchs, kazakhstan oligarchs, you blew this wide open in 2018. we did the first interview with you. i've got to give you a lot of credit but now you see people like -- they have also followed up. it takes a long time to get to the bottom of it. first, imagine if your last name was trump, and secondly, do you believe that there is merit that there would be severe legal consequences? because i do believe that. >> yeah, i think there would be and i think by the way, if this investigation goes forward, you have to turn this into an independent prosecutor. whatever happens in the next six months, this is a highly-politicized issue. you need to have somebody who is truly independent, who is not just a u.s. attorney, who could potentially be fired. and let me say, sean, this is

one of the most important stories i think politically that we have had in the last decade. we did the first interview in january 2018. this grand jury was convened months later and i think it was a direct result of the attention you brought to the story. >> sean: you did all the hard work. by the way, you call balls and strikes and i've got to give you a lot of credit for that. you are way ahead of the curve and i think finally everyone is catching up to you. peter, great work as always. thank you. coming up, reports of a chinese spy infiltrating, you've got it. can't make it up. can't write a book like this. eric swalwell and his office. the outcome the guy that's on the house of the intel committ committee, the russia hoax god, ukrainian hoax guy. yeah, liberal leaders refusing to hold him accountable. matt gaetz straight ahead ♪

this person is one of national security. it is classified. you know that bill clinton is kicking himself for not thinking of this, right? if this is an explanation, i guess others could have used it. now, i don't want the fbi or congress to be the bedroom police and i don't even blame eric swalwell for being targeted. i blame him because he knows better. he knows that china is the major threat in the 21st century. they are a threat to our people and our workers. and instead, he distracted our country for years on this nonsense russia hoax arguing that the president was an agent of the russian government when he in fact had his own campaign infiltrated by an agent of the chinese government. it's the double standards from the fbi and it's the hypocrisy from the left that we are so used to seeing and we are sick of it. >> sean: all right, rick, so we all believe that russia is a

hostile regime but a far bigger threat all my intelligence sources tell me by a long shot is china. and mike pompeo's comments were pretty alarming as well. and i look at this and then i look at the comments he was making publicly about russia, et cetera. i am like what a hypocrite. >> look, i think it's even worse than just hypocrisy. we are accustomed to hypocrisy in washington, d.c. but you said it right, sean, that look, russia is a problem but china is a crisis and we have known that it has been a crisis for a very long time. i think there needs to be a gang of intelligent group investigations, certainly an acting chairman, marco rubio should immediately call the intelligence committee together. they should get a confidential classified briefing on what eric swalwell new and how much did he give away. because the reality is he spent

years downplaying the china threat and overhyping the russian threat. this is playing exactly into what the chinese want people to do. they want to be under the radar. eric swalwell did exactly what the chinese wanted. we need to figure out are there others. and i can tell you without giving away too much intelligence this is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the leverage that china is putting on our politicians. there are many, many more. >> sean: one at the bidens be up there in that category? >> there's a variety of mayors, governors, senior people. look, the other thing that we've got to -- >> sean: wool, wool, wool >> there is a whole bunch on and more should be coming out. they have all received defensive brief edens and there's a lot more to it.

>> sean: did i see matt gaetz blushing there? that would be impossible. >> it's very important to know what pelosi knew. everyone in washington knows that eric is her fair haired b boy. >> he said the leadership knew. he said leadership knew about this. >> sean: wow. great work, both of you. appreciate it. when we come back, the chaos in portland continues as protesters now establish another zone after going after police again. we will tell you more straight ahead. ♪ ♪
