and that's notn, a all. this is truly significant. 17 other states, including missouri, alabama, arkansas, florida, indiana, kansas, louisiana, and many others filing a brief with the u.s. supreme court, and by the way, many are expected to ask to join the case in support of what would then become a landmark supreme courtha 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. we will have an important analysis. lara trump, kayleigh mcenany, reince priebus. also, hand of tonight into congressman eric swalwell's former relationship with what appears to be, yep, a chinese

spy. why is he on the intelligence committee? and straight ahead, a full report on new a legal troubles r 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 way to fight to restore election integrity. by the way, as we see, most americans now, in some cases and as high as 80%, say they see fraud in this recent election, as we laid out in dett night, this case now hinges on two serious, well-documented arguments. one, that the suit details how article two of the u.s. constitution was violated. article two requires state to decide election policy. this was violated. it is incontrovertible in multiple ways, 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. look at the state of georgia, with the horrendous consent decree entered into after democratic party lawsuit earlier this year with georgia secretary of state. well, secretary of state had no right to do that because that secretary of state wasat also acting without legislative -- legislative approval, flagrantly unconstitutional. the suit's second argument surrounds, well, the unequal application of the law, and when poll workers and partisan observers encounter different roles in different counties, well, equal protection clause, yeah, has obviously been violated. as kris kobach accurately has pointed out, if texas referred veils, there are multiple remedies for examples, state legislatures in georgia, wisconsin, michigan, and pennsylvania,ns they could exclude ballots that were counted in violation of state law.aw

they could divide their electoraelectoral college both n the twowe 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. we have a serious legal challenge, and one, by the way, going to be on the u.s. supreme court to provide clarity in an election process that now millions recognize that they can no longer have trust and confidence in. look at this marist for, 24% of republicans have confidence in election results. 62 percent don't want the president to concede the election after this mess. a huge majority of republicans, well, they clearly see the election was fraudulent and corrupt.en tonight, one thing is very clear. if we don't fix what is a broken, corrupt election system, the countryin is in deep troubl. in a new letter to president trump, house republicans are calling for a

special counsel or full investigation into allin these election irregularities, which we have on this program beenwe documenting, independently, as we always do, night after night after night, including the partisan observers being blocked from counting the counting process. 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. this comes as we are also learning tonight about a new complaint filed in georgia by state republican chairman david schaefer and president donald trump alleging that tens of thousands of votes passed in georgia were actually fraudulent. they have identified what they believe are too thousand felons, 66,000 underage voters. wow, great that can happen. 2500 people who were not on the state's voter rolls, a whopping 40,000 who. had moved counties

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

now, we've got 17 attorneys general. this is impressive.iv >> well, it's impressive, and it's fantastic to see. it's actually a beautifully written argument there by the state of texas, and i we have 17 states, as you just said, the joint on. what this lawsuit is saying is that the reality is that the election laws in the states of georgia, wisconsin, pennsylvania, and michigan, were violated. they did not follow their state election laws, and because of that, it disenfranchises every single american voter, and it's reallyer incredible thing to see you because you are right, sean, we need to know that our elections are free and fair and that every legitimate vote is counted, and whenever you have a situation like we saw in this election, where they tried 90 days before the presidential election to change the way you vote in the united states of america, they did not go the proper route through the state legislatures. they just changed -- via the secretary of state or other

people on the election boards, they change the laws, and theyle are not allowed to do that. it is unconstitutional. we are really excited about this. this is a big step forward, and we are excited to see the results of this. >> sean: the clock is what it is.t it's amazing, the power of the u.s. supreme court. and you have a disagreement between the legislative branch and executive branch, it is the judicial branch that resolved it, and they have enormous pow power. .but even that court is tinged y politics. i think john roberts and the obamacare ruling is a perfect case in point. then i look at people like samuel alito and clarence thomas and amy coney barrett and core such, i don't really have a good read yet on kavanaugh, and noth people that want their supt legislating from the bench, which highlights the importance on those three seats that were filled by thee president. >> that's right. this is important, if you ever

wonderr why it is so importanto make sure that you have great supreme court justices on the bench, this is the example. it is right here, right now, this time. and look, the president, i think, put in really great people. we'll seen what happens with this, but the reality of the constitution is at stake right now, and if this election is about to go forward on the fraudulent votesti are allowed o be counted, and 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. the president took an oath to do that, and let's hope the supreme court feels the same way. >> sean: you know, with all of the irregularities, then you look at the polls, upwards of 80 plus percent of republicans don't have faith in the outcome. how do we have elections, and we are able to highlight and chronicle all of the things -- and it's been like the russian thing, i'm feeling every layer of the onion every day, and more and more as we discover, the people, they have no faith in

the integrity, no confidence in the results. >> well, 30% of democrats don't believe joe biden won this election. they don't even believe the results of the election. have beenmocrats trying to do this for a long time, sean. nancy pelosi, her first bill as speaker of the house, tried to revoke election i.d. laws. she tried to slip into the covid relief package universal vote by mail, so they have been trying to changee the system, and they really have done, unfortunately, a masterful jobnd at it, and hee we are now. we still do not have the legitimate results of this election, if that is why the is so, sourt case important. i hope we get a good outcome and i hope the constitution is upheld. >> sean: now, i've known you and eric a long time. did eric happen to see if poll out of north carolina today? i'm just curious if you can bringlol us in the inner circled tell us. i happened to notice the poll for the u.s. senate seat open into years, and you are at the top of the list. >> i am so flattered, so

humbled. my husband did see it. i think he tweeted it. so i appreciate that for him, i would be honored to represent that state. we'll see. >> sean: i'll be very happy to know he didn't learn it watching this show. that is good news for me. 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 g ongoing. this is far from over. we will see what happens with that senate seat, but that was a pretty incredible poll, i was humbled to see that. >> sean: all right, lara trump, good to see you. joiningg us now with more is former white house chief of staff reince priebus. i want you to go back to the beginning here, because you were right in the beginning, and i thought -- i would have liked -- i would like to still see it, the way it was characterized by the media is not accurate, in terms of the pennsylvania case, which they will go back for

another bite at that apple. but pennsylvania and your state of wisconsin, i look at the law. there is no mail and balloting, very limited male in balloting in wisconsin. explain what went on there. >> thanks, sean, and what lara said about the texas case is true because the state of clerks, didn't follow the law. wisconsin is a little different because it's not about whether someone called and 50,000, you know, 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 an illegal manner. i have been fighting the situation here in wisconsin for 20 years, but it culminated this time with three things. i'llim give you three examples. number one, the clerks 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. accept, in wisconsin law, it's very clear and it's unequivocal, that absentee ballot is not a right, it's a privilege, which means you have to follow the rules. and they didn't follow the rules, didn't have absentee ballot applications. 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 wisconsin election commission, to fill out parts of the absentee ballot envelopes for the particular voters. with the state law says is unequivocal, it says that if that happens, that ballot should not be counted. number three, the clerk sent set up ans in person ballot system n dane county, they went to parks and set up picnic tables everywhere andyw the

dane county clerk decided because of covid that if you wanted to declare yourself indefinitely confined, which is usuallywh, you know, for unfortunately elderly people that cannot get out of nursing homes, you can declare yourself indefinitely confined, without a photo i.d., and show up and vote. and so, and by the way, these are things that have been getting worse and worse and worse over time in wisconsin. the milwaukee police departmentl many years ago, issued a report, and you can find it in 70-something pages long, it talks about all kinds of problems, not these specific ones because these are a lot worse, but the kinds of things people not enforcing the law, felons voting, felons being hired to be election inspectors, it 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 and force with

conducting the election not following the law. >> sean: it's amazing -- >> and the democrats don't have a response. >> sean: the amazing thing also is the wisconsin supreme court, you explained on this show, has previously weighed in on what would be the president's arguments, correct? >> well, it's funny, because in the footnote, the wisconsin election commission issues some guidance to its clerks on how to conduct the election, and in that guidance it said, you know, do a, b, and c, and a footnote said contra, which means, you know, contrary to what we are saying -- by the way, see this case over here, this appellate case, and this case over here is a case that shows that when a clerk 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 arguing substantially on the legal part of this case, they are arguing, well, he should have brought the casey sooner. >> sean: it's meaningless. >> that's not a strong argument ont' the case. it is not a strong argument on the merits ofof this case. >> sean: the supreme court, when they did say you have to go to the lower court first, clear three of the seven to say, we are not doing this because we are saying this lacks merit, don't think that. that's interesting. all right, reince, thank you. speak with the chief judge -- oh, okay. >> sean: know, the chief what? >> okay, the chief judge set exactly, when the court decided to send it to the circuit court first, the intention was it was going to call back to the supreme court, probably this

weekend. the chief judge that people would misinterpret this decision as to say this case doesn't have merit, and her exact words that she come about the trump campaign case, that nothing coud be further from the truth. >> sean: powerful statements. reince priebus, thank you. joining us of moore, kaylee mack, kayleigh mcenany with us. 17 attorneys general, i'm talking to people in some states, these attorneys general, some of them actually want to join texas in the actual case. there is no attorney general that is going to sign onto a case if it is lacking in law or constitutionality. it's not going tor happen. >> yeah, not going 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 and shows how what happened, the unconstitutional enactments by democrat secretary of state's in contravention of the legislature, how it could have been outcome-determinative come to get into specifics, sean,

state-by-state where it shows i0 ballots, they had questionable postmark dates, and what reinces talking about with wisconsin, 160,000 more people saying i'm indefinitely confined for fear t need to show identification. georgia had the same rejection rate for ballots this s time around that you would have 25,000 more ballots thrown out. it goes state-by-state. one more to share with you, shawn. in michigan, right here, they found 174,384 ballots 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 very well done lawsuit by the state of texas. >> sean: you gave out a statistic yesterday on the quadrillion statistic in y terms

of stats you gave out. i listen to that, and i was blown away, and i watched the mob and the media, you know, just like they -- they actually attack your real affidavits until the real people that signed them showed a up, and thn oh, kayleigh was telling the truth. , they forgot that part. but explain how you got that number. >> i'm glad you asked that, fake news cnn said the affidavit of sharma blank when all you had to do was look atow a public cot filing read them yourself. that's a job of a reporter, but instead i have to do their job for them. the stat i gave last night which is eye-opening and truthful, for president trump to be ahead as far as he was at 3:00 a.m. in these four states, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, georgia, and for the vote to swing by as much as it did, the probability of that, in one state, is one and 1 quadrillion. that is one, 15 zeros.

one, 15 zeros to the fourth power. because fake news cnn and jake tapper cannot find a public court filing, i did it for them. you can find the sworn declaration by charles chris shetty, who by the way, phd from rectors, tenured professor, expert testimony in hundreds of court cases, goes meticulously through how he used deviations to come up with a ths number. it is a job at the airport or to find it. it is out there, public, and it is a dereliction of duty that the job each reporter has to not look into this i'm not look at the sourcing which is available for all to read. >> sean: just to emphasize what you found in detroit, wayne county, they list 174,384 absentee ballots out of 566,000, 100,000 absentee ballots tabulated, 30% counted without a registration number four precincts in the city of detro

detroit. i hope america is watching. these are real numbers here. kayleigh, thank you. when we come back, hunter biden confirming today he is under a federal investigation for his tax affairs, and sources not telling fox news that it has to deal with links to china, information you won't get from the media. senator ron johnson of wisconsin, peter schweizer, they will join us live with a special report straight ahead. ♪ e

advised my legal counsel that they are investigating my tax affairs. now biden, harris, also issued a response that joe biden is deeply proud of his son. how could he not be proud, making all that money with no experience, who has fought through difficult challenges, including vicious personalio attacks in recent months, only to emerge stronger they are going now, a well-placed government sources telling fox news hunter biden is come in fact, either a subject orx a target of aar grand jury investigation. tonight, sources also telling fox news that the material on hunter's abandoned laptop is, in fact, evidence and the ongoing probe, which has been underway. we can report, since 2018. reportedly triggered a number of specific activities report linking funds, including china, which popped. filed under case coast 272d, the fbi classification for money laundering. we have been exposing the biden

crowd family business bureau on the show since the beginning and our friend peter schweizer will join us in a minute laying out joe biden's lies about his knowledge of his son's dealings, hunter's lies about receiving money from foreign sources. remember hunter on gma, when asked about it last year come about china? take a look. >> the president has repeatedly said you were perceived $1.5 billion from china, despite no experience and for no apparent reason. obviously, fact-checkers have said that that is not true. >> there is no basis in fact, in anyway. >> have you received any money from business dealings? at all, not 1 cent? >> not 1 cent. >> definitely not 1.5 billion? >> it's crazy. they feel they have a license to say whatever they want to. >> sean: hunter biden's lawyer had to pull back on that, forced to walk back those remarks, clarify, well, hunter has equity in the chinese investments. according to the

johnson-grassley senate report, he got millions from a state-backed chinese company, received 3.5 million, the wire transfer from the c first lady f moscow, a russian oligarch. then he got another 100 plus grand for a shopping spree complements of a chinese national. hunter's company, about 140 grand from a kazakh oligarch your mom for a very expensive new car, and who could forget his dealings with burisma holdings, yeah, with no experience with oil, gas, energy, or ukraine. imagine if hunter's name was don jr. ivanka, eric, barron trump. tiffanye trump. but the story gets even bigger. that is joe biden appears to have been aware of all of it and let his son sell access to the office of the vice president. his family gotlff rich. here was a reaction come he's done an amazing job on this and other issues, senator ron johnson of wisconsin. so the investigation has really been going on since 2018. you, your report has been

devastating. and this goes back now, what, 2013, '14 come '15, right? >> that is certainly when they started cracking the code, but there have been reports of the biden cashing in on the biden name for many, many years, dating back to joe biden as a senator. hunter said he didn't get a cent, no, he got millions of dollars. all report documents $5 billion, an addendum to a report showing about $6 million paid into the accounts of rob walker, a business hemi controlled, and of course, rob walker said hee wanted to be a proxy or surrogate for the bidenen famil, so there is $11 million from china, and sean come i have to point out, the company they were dealing with, the cfc come in 2013 committee reported i think $33 million of income. and it just went. that business just disappeared. along with its chairman. that is the business and individual who had ties to the

communist party of china and the liberation army that hunter biden was doing business with, and joe biden, according to toby by belinsky, was totally aware of. >> sean: by the way, please send your colleague senator grassley, i know he recovered fully from covid, and you did, as well. i want to hone in on this very, very closely here. if you don't have experience, and you're getting paid millio millions, and then you have your father bragging on tape he leveraged a billion taxpayer dollars and gave them six hours to fire the prosecutor investigating the sun making millions with zero experience, how is that not a quid, and a pro, and a quote. i would be quid pro quo. >> it is. it's obvious to everybody except the mainstream media, and of course, we found out now, the mainstream media had far greater influence and interference in our election than any russian interference ever could have hoped for. the fact of the matter is there have been pulls out now, a

mclachlan for max of 36% of biden voters have never heard of the hunter biden story because of censorship and perception, they would not have voted for that means 4.6% of biden voters would not have voted for him. thatde means trump would have wn the election. that is the enormous influence that social media and our liberal bias media played on the selection. that there interference, orders of magnitude greater than any russian or chinese or iran interference in this campaign. >> sean: senator, do me a favor and do not leave the u.s. senate. i heard you've not made up your mind yet, i'm encouraging you to stay there. you just heard from reince priebus. he 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, and i'm fond of your state. and you have s also said you dot know about the possibility of

challenging electoral college results, and the news that 17 attorneys general now have joined with texas is big news tonight. your thoughts? >> well, one thing i'm going to do is i scheduled a hearing for next wednesday where we are going to examine the irregularities of the 2020 election. some of these irregularities are oing examined by courts and some have been dealt with, but the ones that remain, next wednesday, we are going to bring in for example an attorney from wisconsin and f they are going o describe what reince was talking about. will bring an attorney from nevada, where 42,000 people voted twice, absentee and in person. dead people voting, out-of-state people voting. so we are going to ask these questions.oi what about the truckloads of ballots from great plains, new york, headed to philadelphia? how do you explain that type of thing? so we are going to hold that hearing,ng and we are going to k 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 that do not view this election as legitimate because the democrats pushed the envelope i did everything they could to make this resolved. >> sean: do the people in wisconsin understand what is going on here? >> i believe so. i was a little disappointed the supreme court of wisconsin didn't take it up right away, but again, that's why i'm going to hold his hearing. the i american people need to hear -- because once again, news media is suppressing this. they are not covering the hearings on this, they're not covering the issues of any kind ofof details. they just lost that over like they did the ukraine-biden affair. oh, it has all been t debunked. these things haven't been debunked. they are legitimate questions that needd to be answered. >> sean: all right, senator. thank you. senator johnson. rememberk peter schweizer, frid of this program? he broke right here on this program i'm in great book "secret umpires" in 2018, the extent of hunter's dealings, how he inked these sweetheart deals, one after the other

despite no experience or qualifications, all while profiting off his father's's diplomacy's overseas, and here to explain wind reacted tonight's breaking news is peter schweizer. 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 have a break on this, one way or the other, and he was going to be exposed. let me ask you first about china. he said in that gma interview, "i never got a penny from china." is the lion? >> [laughs] well come he didn't get a penny from china, he got millions and millions from china. he is absolutely lying. the thing to keep in mind, sean, there is a multitude of deals with china. you've got the $1.5 billion private equity deal, where he joins the board and he gets an equity stake.ty you've got rosemont realty, in which a chinese company called gemini with links to the chinese military comes in and buys that firm.

hunter is involved in 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 was dealing because he had a myriad of accounts offshore's overseas, and what i would say, sean, let's keep in mind, this is being presented as a tax case. one of the reasons prosecutors would want to read with the tax case is the united states has tax treaties with countries aroundst the world that allows r a lot more broad information sharing when you are investigating a tax case that if they 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 is sort of a camel's nose under the tent. u this gives them an opportunity to gain access to foreign bank accounts, foreign transactions, et cetera, and we can start to unravel the full extent of the biden relationship with the chinese. >> sean: between burisma and china and the first lady of

russia, ukrainian oligarchs, kazakhstan oligarchs, you blewhs this wide open in 2018. we did the first interview on radio and tv with you. i give you credit. now you see people like senators johnson and grassley, they have now also followed up. i mean, it takes a long time to get to the bottom. first, imagine ifet the last nae was trump, andf secondly, do you believe this has legal merit, that if they follow the law, there would be severe legal lnsequences, because i do believe that. >> yeah, i think there would be. and i think, by the way, as this investigation goes forward, you have to turnoe this into an independent prosecutor. whatever happens in the next six months, it is a highly politicized issue. you need to havehi someone who s 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 havek had in the last decade. you deserve a lot of credit. we did the first interview in january of 2018. this grand jury was convened months later, i think a direct result of the attention he brought to the story. >> sean: you did all the hardt work. and by the way, people that don't know but the government accountability office, which you run, you go after republicans and democrats, you called balls and strikes, and i've got to give 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 damning reports. you can't make up a book like this. congressman eric swalwell and his office, yeah, the guy on the house intel committee, he is with schiff and nadler, that guy, russia hoax guy, ukrainian hoax guy, yeah, liberal leaders refusing to hold him accountab accountable. matt gaetz and ric grenell straight ahead.

classified, and i can't help but think, you know bill clinton is kicking himself for not thinking ofw this. if this is the explanation, i guess others could have used it. 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 a major threat to u.s. hegemony in the 21st century. there the 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 so sick of it. >> sean: that is why "firebrand" was a good title. ric, we all agree putin, a hostile actor, russia, a hostile regime. but the far a bigger threat, all

my intelligence sources tell me, by a long shot, is china. and mike pompeo's comments today were pretty alarming, as well. and i look at this, and i look k at the comments he was making publicly about russia, et cetera, and i'm like, what a hypocrite. >> look, i think it is even worse than just hypocrisy. we are accustomed to hypocrisy in washington, d.c. but you said it right, sean. looked, russia is a problem, but china is a crisis. and we know it has been a crisis for a very long time. i think there needs to be a gang of eight intelligence move investigation, certainly acting chairman marco rubio and chairman schiff should immediately all the intelligence committees together. they should get a confidential, classified briefing on whatic 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 date exactly what the chinese wanted. we need to figure out are there others, and i can tell you without giving away too much intelligence, thisin is the tipf the iceberg when it comes to the leverage that china is putting on our politicians. there are many, manyt more. >> sean: wouldn't the bidens be up there in that category?y? >> there is a variety of mayors, governors, senior people. look, the other thing -- >> sean: whoa, whoa, whoa. don't gloss w over that. mayors, governors, senior officials, what? >> there is a whole bunch, sean. and more should be coming out here but they have all received defensive briefings, and there's a lot more to it.ec this is the tip of the iceberg. >> sean: do i matt gaetz washing there? that would be impossible.

>> listen, i want to know what pelosi knew, sean. it's very important to know what pelosi knew and when she knew it. everyone in washington knows swalwell's is pelosi's fair-haired boy, and i'm guessing she knew more about this than we might originally suspect. >> he said leadership knew about this. >> sean: wow.th great work, both of you. thank you, ric. thank you, matt. when we come back, chaos in portland continues as protesters now establish yet another autonomous zone, and yes, they are going after police again, andpo yes, they stockpile weapo, and have armed guards. we will tell you more, straight ahead. ♪

♪ >> sean: portland once again descending into complete chaos,

violence, protesters setting up yet another autonomous zone. remember seattle's infamous c.h.o.p. zone, c.h.a.z. zone, summer of love zone? they are trying to reclaim house for a family evicted in september. portland's police chief stated today that these protesters have brought armed guards, in addition to weapons stockpiles, and here we go with reaction, fox & friends weekend cohost, author of the new book, by the way, "new york times" best seller, "modern warriors," pete hegseth, and civil rights attorney, leo 2.0. here we go, leo come around 2. >> i want to be very clear, i'm upset about this. everybody stop calling these people protesters. protesters don't have guns, armed guards, and intending to hurt police officers and victims. they are not protesters, they are criminals. second, this may or, finally, he will not stand up to these criminals, he has allowed them too occupy a city not once but twice, and finally, i am sick and tired,

democrats, when they are being accused of a racial issue, there is no systemic racism here. this is not a race issue. in democrats use that term, the act like dracula with some might appear that they are afraid. this maier needs to act right now. get a spine in his back. >> sean: this maier is not capable of it, we saw that over the summer. >> that's right, you reap what you sow. you are right, leo, you should never call them protesters, are throwing objects at officers and slashing tires, they should be arrested immediately for what are not minor infractions. butat these rioters, look at minneapolis, where a precinct was easily taken over and burned to the ground. with a look at the autonomous zone but they negotiated their way for months patrolling city territory, they laughed, then moved on to california, where officials are now saying f you resist arrest, that is not an offense and we will let you off. they know they are on what they

believe to be thehe correct side of this argument. get away what with whatever they want. police chief can talk tough and do everything they can, but n ty will handcuff those police ultimately from arresting every single person who assaults an officer or throwser an object, which is how you stop these things. the left is t not capable of th. they cannot do it. >> sean: with the reality is, there is a reason, leo, that states and cities run by liberal democrats for decades are not safe and secure, and there is a reason they have the worst school systems. >> you are absolutely right. i want to be very clear, because this is upsetting. black lives matter, antifa, they are salivating because they have a weak president, hopefully not, invite in, and they have been allowed to act like this all summer long. they have allowed these cities to deteriorate, and as a result,

the schools are just horrific. let me tell you right now, a poor public education is a result of the poverty that happens in these urban cities. without school choice, these cities are doomed. >> sean: all right. pete, by the way, congratulations on another "new york times" best seller. >>s" congratulations, pete. >> thanks, sean. appreciate it. >> sean: it's a great book. we've got to take a break. more "hannity" right after this. ♪ are you sick and tired of looking and
