6:02 pm
president straight ahead but first many of you tonight are very angry, rightfully so. the fbi has blatantly targeting our fellow americans for their political beliefs. the bureau's reputation has been shattered. my faith in an organization, i'll be honest, i had two family members, they worked for this organization, i revered this organization for decades of my life. if you listen to my radio show, watch this show, you know my love of law enforcement. it has now been pretty much utterly destroyed, and more specifically, i just do not trust, nor i think should anybody be able to trust, high ranking people that have now perpetuated those people at the top of the fbi, the trump russia conspiracy theory hoax, it was all a lie for years, they knew it was a lie, they kept perpetuating the lie. those that purposely lied to fisa court judges to spy on a presidential candidate then president again and again and again. they have hurt this institution. we needed institutionalized
6:03 pm
reforms. we didn't get that. they protected the corruption. they protected the deep state. the raid on the former president's private home is shocking, it is wrong. it is a clear and gross abuse of power and corruption. the wall street jerne and editorial board called it dangerous and warned ag merrick garland is now taken the u.s. down a perilous path. they're right. according to my sources tonight on monday morning up to 40 fbi agents rolled up to mar-a-lago unannounced guns a blaze in about a dozen vehicles, including a large moving truck, over the course of the next several hours, the agents went room by room scouring the property boxing up every document they had in sight. they even riffled through melania's wardrobe. agents also demanded that the mar-a-lago staff turn off all security cameras. we can tell you tonight, those security cameras kept rolling. they were not shut off. and now we are report exclusively tonight that the fbi
6:04 pm
and the bureau is desperately prying to obtain all of the footage. hmm. i wonder why? trump's attorney who was there that morning will join us and tell us what went on from their vantage point and they were blocked from viewing the warrant at all. they were forced to stand outside the gates of mar-a-lago while all of this was happening. here's a shocker, according to news week, the fbi utilized a, quote, confidential informant inside mar-a-lago who assisted the agents with their search. and also tonight the media is feigning indignation and outrage that some people are saying that donald trump should be concerned about the possibility of planted evidence or bugs. now, let me be very, very clear. i'm not a conspiracy theater. do i have any knowledge about any of this? i do not. none whatsoever. but think of it this way, had the fbi upper echelon not lied to the people in this country
6:05 pm
for years about donald trump and russia and collusion that never happened. and had they not lied repeatedly to fisa court judges so that they could spy on carter page and back door and spy on the trump campaign transition team and presidency, i kind of tend to doubt anyone would have any suspicion. director wray should have held all of those bad actors accountable. i said so at the time and i was right, or it would get worse. he failed to do so. he should have cleaned up the most prestigious, at the time, federal law enforcement agency in the world. he didn't do it. and that caused his people to be suspicious. director wray could have restored the faith and trust in the fbi and he has filed do so. and, meanwhile, the judge magistrate hot signed off on this warrant was a big obama donor with big ties to guess who? jeffrey epstein. you can't make this up. hop posted also about his hatred for president trump on facebook. he even promoted this statement,
6:06 pm
quote, donald trump doesn't have the morale statue to can i say john lewis's feet. moral stature. we're getting lectured by a judge that defended jeffrey epstein's accomplices. you can't make this up. seriously. and get this, the judge formally recused himself during a suit between donald trump and hillary clinton. we have full days on that and much more with john solomon tonight. by the way, why would the fbi go to a low level judge magistrate not appointed by a president, not confirmed by the senate, to such a high level case. and why would the fbi send 40 agents to storm mar-a-lago for a national archives request, when they were already invited in? we'll give you more details on this in a second. trump's office had already been working to get these documents in the right place. in fact, we have the document. if february, the national archives, they released a statement. it's even on their web site if you want to look at it noting that the former president
6:07 pm
cooperation 15 boxes were transferred to the archives months ago, other boxes of interest were stored in a room at mar-a-lago secured with a specific pad lock installed at the request of those federal officials following a meeting in june. they had been invited in. they got to see everything. they asked the president to put a pad lock on it, and they d and in august, before any kind of subpoena or formal request, the fbi goes ahead and conducts a full-on raid, guns ablazing months in the making and we're supposed to believe this is totally normal, that the fbi, this is how they behave in every circumstance? this is the sad tragedy of this. the fbi that i revered growing up, the two relatives in my family that i revered growing up that were part of this agency, they have now shattered their reputation in all things,
6:08 pm
especially with donald trump. now, even cnn's top security analyst said the raid was dangerous, was not warranted and was only about documents for the national archives. if it was. remember in 2017, former president obama you might have forgotten the new york post remembered. they shipped 30 million pages of sensitive and possibly classified materials to chicago, and, by the way, he has yet to return any of it to the national archives, not one page. so is his house about to get raided christopher wray? care to answer. and who could forget bill clinton and sandy burglarer goes into the national archives where it's already archived and steals national documents in the national archives shoving them down his pants and underwear into his socks. and his house was never raided. snowed everyone just said he was sloppy, fined a few thousand dollars, slap on the wrist, it's all over. and, of course, there's hillary clinton. who could forget.
6:09 pm
she stored classified material on multiple private servers that were hacked by foreign governments. it put our country's national security at risk. no raid on her home in chap wa, no charges. according to comey, despite evidence of law break, his words, not mine, no reasonable prosecutor would ever bring charges against hillary right before an election. what about joe and hunter, who are now enjoying apparently a long vacation. is the fbi, is the raid of biden's vacation home now eminent? when will hunter's phone and laptop be seized. christopher wray, the fbi director, has had that laptop for nearly two years. we know that there's evidence of crimes on the laptop. we know that there's evidence that joe biden was up to his eyeballs with business dealings with countries like ukraine and russia and china. and one would have to ask the next logical question, is that why joe biden gave a nord stream
6:10 pm
two pipe line waiver to vladimir putin. is that why he wants to remove paris and china. is that why he gave a million barrels of our strategic petroleum reserves to china? we don't know live in a country with equal justice or application of our laws. that is sad. that means, we don't live in a country that's living up to its constitution. if your last name is clinton, obama, biden, if your name's hunter, you can do anything you want and get away with it. but if you are a republican, if you support president trump, if you voice frustration with your woke school board or, god forbid, run for office as a conservative or republican, good luck, because the fbi is watching your every move. and now this is sad, but it's true. christopher wray appears he couldn't care less. take a look. >> former president trump -- agents plants fessed [inaudible] his lawyers [inaudible] can you address that
6:11 pm
particularly, as many trump supporters on line called upon [inaudible] >> weshlgs as i'm sure you can appreciate that's not something that i can talk about so i would refer you to the department. as to the issue of threats, i will say that i'm always concerned about violence and threats of violence against law enforcement. >> laura: >> sean: all right let me be clear and no ambiguity. no member at all in law enforcement should ever be threatened with violence, that can never be tolerated. by the way i wish in the summer of 2020 the democrats, the media and the fbi director would have spoken out and defended cops like we did on this program. we had thousands of police that were pelted with bricks and rocks and frozen water bottles and molotov cocktails injured thousands of comes over the
6:12 pm
summer of 2020 and, yes, we do know there are bad apples in law enforcement but they are the small minority, including bad apples in the fbi. and then we have high ranking officials that refuse to clean up this organization. the vast majority, though, of law enforcement do risk their lives daily to protect all of us and we should honor them and protect them. we defend those who serve and protect. we deplore any call for violence and unfortunately that's not true in the democratic party. don't believe me? here's a quick reminder. >> so i know that there's an outrage right now, i guess, about protests that have been peaceful to date, and we certainly continue to encourage that outside of judge's home and that's the president's position. >> you goat out and you create a crowd. and you push back on them. and you tell them they're not welcome. >> i want to tell you, gorsuch, i want to tell you kavanaugh. you have released a whirl wind and you will pay the price!
6:13 pm
>> get up in the face of some congress people. >> they're not going to stop before election day in november and they're not going to stop after election day. and that should be -- everyone should take note of that on both levels, that this isn't -- they're not going to let up and should not >> sean: christopher wray i know wants to look into parents that speak out at school board meetings. did you ever speak out against those high ranking democrats who are encouraging rioting, encouraging violence, the rioters to burn our cities to the ground? they're not going to stop, they won't stop, you better take note, or tweeting out a fund that gets the rioters out of jail? where were you in the summer of 2020? where were any of the democrats. where were you when chuck schumer was threatening supreme court justices on the steps of the supreme court. where were you when supreme court justices were being doxxed, when their kids schools were being doxxed, the churches they attend were being doxxed or are you only focused on donald
6:14 pm
trump and trump supporters and parents at school board meetings? those mean old parents that believe in age appropriate material being taught. here with more, trump attorney who was blocked from viewing the search at mar-a-lago, lindsey halligan is with us. thank you for being with us. let's talk about that day and the fbi arriving. what happened? >> hi, mr. hannity. so i arrived around 11:00 a.m., and there were about 30-40 fbi agents that i saw, either which were wearing suits, the rest were in cargo pants, masks and gloves. and they basically had unfettered access to the property. they refused to talk to me. they refused to let me in. all i knew is that they were searching areas one, two, and three, which i understood to be the former president's bedroom, his office, and a storage room. and other than that, we were not allowed to talk to them or go
6:15 pm
inside at all. >> sean: did you ever get a chance to read the warrant? did you ever get a copy of isn't it did you ever get any other information? do you know, are you aware of what they took out of mar-a-lago? >> that's the thing. they had unfettered access to the property. they looked at god knows what in there and did god knows what in there. we have no idea. what the fbi did was an appalling display of abuse of power. all documents requested were previously handed over. president trump and his team pains stakingly reviewed every single document at mar-a-lago and gave the government what they requested. if they needed any other documents, they could have just asked. and the warrant was secured under seal, so they tried to get away with concealing this overreach by obtaining a warrant under seal. nobody knew about it. they knew that president trump was in bedminster and hasn't been at mar-a-lago for some time.
6:16 pm
they thought they could sneak in, snoop around without attorneys present and in case they walked out with nothing, so nobody would know they overreached this degree. it's unprecedented in united states history. the government seems to be out of control. it's plagued with mans blairex corruption, agreed, and fraud. >> sean: and yet the national archives praised the working relationship that you had back in february, and my understanding is they were there as recently as june and they were the ones that requested the pad lock on one particular door where there was some documents that they could have taken with them that today? >> correct, yes. that was when they came to the property, and they went through documents, to my understanding. they requested that a pad lock be put on the door and then they broke through that pad lock just the other day. we have a sitting us president whose son has committed a myriad of felonies speaker of the house
6:17 pm
whose husband broke the law driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs with a concealed passenger in the car. a secret list of undisclosed powerful people that visited epstein's island and did god knows what to underage women, none of their liberties were infringed upon like president trump's and his families. simply put under the biden administration, the government conceals what it want to, the government does what it wants to and american citizens need to protect their country from this government. >> sean: lindsey, anything else you would want the american people to know? you were there that day. what thud she know? anything else. >> well, if we're thinking about the future, i would like to just say that the biden administration has united americans against its administration and this incident has ironically created bipartisan on this issue, because no american, whether democrat or republican, wants an overreaching department of justice. we even see andrew cuomo and
6:18 pm
andrew yang speaking out about this. the silence of the biden administration and the fbi is desk. americans are listening and watching. >> sean: all right we really appreciate your time. lindsey thank you. >> thank you. >> sean: breaking news report from jon solomon at just the news.com. we're now lettering that the judge bruce reinhart the woke magistrate who happily signed off on the mar-a-lago raid previously recused himself on a case involving president trump this judge also posted anti trump material on social media like facebook questioning the former president's morality. all while, once himself, representing jeffrey epstein's alleged sex trafficking associates. and, by the way, reinhart was also a big obama donor. with the very latest, here's the editor and chief of just the news.com. john solomon. you have other breaking news tonight john, what do you have? >> let's start with mar-a-lago and we'll go back to our judge here. i have confirmed that in late
6:19 pm
may the federal government tjustice department, delivered a grand jury subpoena to president trump. president trump, this is in connectioning with the records case. president trump didn't contest the subpoena. he voluntarily cooperated, allowed three agents and a senior doj official to come to his property on june 3rd and to pick up a set of documents that they thought were -- what the government was looking for, the last remaining documents that were left there. the president actually came down and surprised everybody, dressed up in a suit, came down, greeted the fbi agents, said i appreciate what you're doing, and he told them, if there's anything you need, let us nor. we will cooperate fully. when the president left, the fbi agents, according to government officials and private sources i talked to, asked for permission to go see the storage locker, the worn they just broke into a week ago. they were voluntarily allowed to go in and take a look at the locker, see what things were done, ask questions. they left in a very cordial manner because the president was
6:20 pm
cooperating without any resistance and he had made a promise, you need something, come back. i'm going to deliver it. five days later, the government asked that a good pad lock be put on that room, secure that room, which the secret service did, and nothing occurred for two months until they showed up and raided. the president was voluntarily complying with a grand jury subpoena and then he gets raided anyway. these are going to raise some very serious questions about the time line of what has now happened. >> sean: that's pretty amazing. and this judge fairly obviously had a conflict of interest, but here he is, he even recused himself from one case. >> yeah. >> sean: why would he not have recused himself here? >> that's a great question. >> sean: the magistrate. >> yeah, why magistrate recused himself. he said he could not be impartial as a judge providing over a lawsuit by donald trump against hillary clinton. that was six weeks before he then turned around and signed a search warrant for president trump, a man, who before he was a judge, the year before he was a judge, openly criticized the
6:21 pm
president on social media. tonight i talked to mike davis the lawyer that used to vet all the judges for the committee, he says his group is considering preparing a judicial ethics complaint against this magistrate. >> sean: john solomon editor and chief of just the news.com. here with more of the unprecedented dangerous nature of this raid fox news contributor jonathan turley. jonathan in light of what john is reporting and what we now heard from the president's own attorney, as recently as june, they were communicating. they actually went to mar-a-lago. they saw the documents in the box. they requested a pad lock be put on that particular room. that request was granted and they were also offered complete access anytime they wanted it. why this then? >> well, that's the question. the more we learn, the more confusing this gets. what did they possibly tell reinhart? did they relay this history to
6:22 pm
the magistrate that, according to these sources, that the president had cooperated? i mean, the idea that he was subject to a subpoena, complied with a subpoena, didn't challenge it, voluntarily showed the storage room to the agent, followed their advice, secured it to meet their demands, all of that is hardly a basis for saying now we need to send in 40 fbi agents on a nighttime raid. i mean, if the subpoena worked the first time, then presumably a second subpoena would work the second time if there were remaining documents that were not gathered up in the first collection. what we have to find out is the details. you know, there's this suggestion of this confidential source. what was alleged in these papers? do they really suggest there was a risk of destruction or active concealment? those are things we're going to have to be looking at. and as for the recusal report that you just heard, obviously
6:23 pm
that's really quite odd. i mean if he recused himself the first time, it's rather odd to see himself executing such an important search warrant just a little while later, unless there was something about the first case or circumstance that had an added conflict of interest. we'll have to find that out as well. so what does this all mean? it means, it means that we're not learning facts, that the attorney general could easily share with us without compromising this investigation. >> sean: you know, my gut tells me that this never had anything to do with the presidential records act or the national archives, jonathan turley. it has all the markings, to me, of a fishing expedition. that's my gut instinct. what is yours? >> well, you know, this has been a theory of many people that this was a pretext for gathering january 6th material. if that's the case, it's truly breath taking because this is the same agency that has a
6:24 pm
documented history of misrepresenting facts to judges, falsifying material being given to secure search warrants. if this is a repeat of that conduct, then there will be hell to pay if there's an oversight investigation. >> sean: great analysis as always. you've been on your a game all week. i've been watching, jonathan turley thank you. coming up today new york's attorney general's office deposed president trump as part of the state ag leticia james' political promise of a witch hunt against president trump. she ran on that platform. we're going to show you the tape of the ag that probably doesn't want you to see and remind you also peter navarro weighs in on our two-tiered justice system. he's experienced it firsthand. that's straight ahead. ♪♪

♪♪ >> sean: now, earlier today donald trump invoked the fifth amendment while he sat for a deposition in the new york attorney general's sham civil probe. it's not a criminal probe. into the president and his family's businesses. now, remember, it was the new york ag, leticia james herself who actually campaigned on prosecuting trump. he said it often. ask yourself, as you watch this, does this seem like somebody concerned with equal justice under the law, especially for anybody named trump? take a look. >> attorney general because i will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president when our fundamental rights are at steak. i believe the president of these united states can be indicted for criminal offenses. >> oh, we're definitely going to sue we're going to be a real pain in the [bleep]. he'll know my name personally. >> that and in the white house [cheers and applause] >> who can't go a day without
6:30 pm
threatening our fundamental rights. >> yes, we need to focus on donald trump and his abuses. we need to follow his money. we need to find out where he's lawed rend money. we need to find out whether or not he's engaged in con spear geez here with reaction donald trump's new york attorney a lean haba is with us. so you have a candidate that ran on a platform to destroy one man in the state that she was going to be the attorney general with all that power. this is a civil case. wouldn't this be -- i don't think the president had any choice but to invoke the 5th because if one comma, if one period, if he didn't dot every i, cross every t, wouldn't he be facing a perjury trap in that circumstance based on the fact that she ran a whole campaign to take him down? >> yes, a hundred percent sean, you nailed it. the reality of the situation is, although we hear that the da has dropped effectively the criminal case, there were also reports that the da was waiting to see
6:31 pm
if he would testify and if, you know, if he said it was sunny outside but there was an overcast, they would have come at me with guns a blazing like they did on monday with the nara investigation which he was cooperating in. unfortunately, given monday's incident in tandem with everything else that this man has endured and his family has endured, there was just absolutely no choice in the matter. we had to tell him that this was in his best interests and, that he, quite honestly, couldn't trust the process. >> sean: has there ever been a time, i can't think of one, where somebody running for a very powerful position, attorney general of a state -- i mean, there's a lot of power in that position -- where they have run on a platform to take one individual down? i can't think of another example. >> no. ethically, you know, the attorney general is the highest law enforcement agent in the state. they are supposed to be impartial and there is not supposed to be any sort of
6:32 pm
influence individually that would go into this. and, remember, everything that she said was prior to her getting any testimony. i have to be honest with you, sean, and this will shock viewers, but she was quite pleasant to be with today. i did get to actually meet and engage with her, as did former president trump. and it was sad. because, in reality, posturing and politicking has become so much of this country's dynamic that people forgot to just be human beings. and did i saw a little bit of human being in everybody in that room. it was quite pleasant. but what we saw in the videos that you played, that is unfortunately what our country has become which will lead us to become much like a third country, a third -- you know, we're going to be cuba if we continue down this road. people need to remember to respect other people's differences and remember that democracy, the constitution, the bed rock of our country, we are to respect it and work within the bounds of the legal system. the legal system is there. it should work, but you cannot
6:33 pm
exceed it. you cannot sit in her position and now pro to file a complaint because after three years you must. because you haven't spent so many taxpayers dollars. >> sean: what you're saying is pretty amazing actually. you remove politics from the equation and wow they actually got along today. >> we all did. we all did quite honestly. >> sean: alina thank you for that report tonight we appreciate it >> also tonight remember peter navarro arrested back in june while getting on an airplane put in handcuffs, taken, stripped search, put in leg irons at a federal building and handcuffs only 50 yards from his own house and thrown in a jail cell all over a misdemeanor charge. here with reaction, author of taking back trump's america, peter navarro is with us. peter, you're being charged with a misdemeanor. first question i have for you, you knew, you're a smart guy, i've known you a long time, you knew darn well that you could have gone into the january 6th
6:34 pm
committee, pled the 5th walked out and your obligations were over. you wouldn't have to say a word. but you decided not to do that. why? >> sean, there are very key constitutional issues at steak, and the issue here is that president trump invoked executive privilege which is a principal that goes back to the days of george washington to ensure effect if i have presidential decision making. i told the select committee from the outset, the department of justice, it's not my privilege to waive and that i had a duty to do what i have done. sean, there's been hundreds of thousands of americans, young men and women killed in action, in war, they had the courage to stand up for this country. the least i could do, sir, is to be willing to risk a two-year prison sentence for something so important, sean. i can't emphasize this more.
6:35 pm
this is about executive privilege and the integrity of washington the oval office decision making. and that's why i did what i did. >> sean: let me ask you, peter, honestly i admire anybody that will stand on their principles and in this case you're putting yourself in harm's way because you're right you could get a two-year jail sentence. let's go to the day you're arrested. usually on a misdemeanor charge they would be in touch with your lawyer, call your lawyer and say we're going to spook your client, he's going to be arrested tomorrow, he should report at 8:00 at this location and that will happen for a misdemeanor. it's not like you're a terrorist or a murderer. it's not like you're a member of a drug cartel. this is a misdemeanor. that didn't happen. they decided to embarrass you in public in an airport, instead of doing what they would normally do. even the judge in your case has spoken out and asked why. why? it didn't need to go this way.
6:36 pm
why do you think that was. >> there is a parallel here, john sullivan report, ironically june 3rd was the day i got arrested, they had those fbi agents down in mar-a-lago very cordial with the president everything seemed to be going fine. and then they hit him with this brutal unprecedented raid. same thing happened to me sean. two days earlier, i talked to wanter geo dan 0, the fbi agent i said walter, whatever you need come on down. you're right across the street from me there should be no problem. to be clear, sean, this was a bread and circus political arrest that was leaked to the press while i sat in solitary confinement in leg irons unable to ask for legal advice. they were making -- and, look, i went out -- after i got past the judge there, i went outside and i said this, sean. i said i'm not the target here. the real target is donald john trampled and by the way, if they can come for navarro and trump, they can come for everybody.
6:37 pm
hannity, they can comes for watters, every deplorable that voted for trampled and what happened to president trump last week, which should never happen to anybody, is confirmation of the concern. and what we need to do now sean and this taking back america's trump is important, we need to take back the house of representatives, put an end to the weaponization of the investigatory powers of congress and it appears to be the department of justice and fbi is working in concert with them. and these are some of the questions i think i hope to come up with in my own issues, and we'll get to the bottom of this sean. i appreciate the time tonight, because this issue is really at the heart, the heart of what's going on in this country right now. if don jr. did what hunter biden did, he would be in quan ton mow bay. >> sean: probably worse, in rikers and probably worse than that i dmien your stand on principle. i really do. what you're describing can't
6:38 pm
happen anymore in this country. what happened earlier this week can't happy anymofrment peter navarro, sorry you had to go through that. this country ace better than that. straight ahead, after weaponizing the doj, the biden administration is now about to use the irs to come after you. they're lying and saying they're not. we've got the evidence to prove that they're wrong and wait until you see, by the way. we have joe biden -- we got pretty disturbing tapes, straight ahead. ♪♪

billions of dollars and trillions of dollars drastically expanding now the size of the irs, more than doubling it by adding 87,000 new agents. now that includes around 47 billion in so-called enforcement related funds. right now we only have a little less than 80,000 agents currently. so that more than doubles the size of the agency, makes it bigger than our own state and justice department and homeland security department combined. and just like clock work, the biden administration continues to lie, continues to claim that this expansion won't mean more audits on lower income americans. well, we actually have the numbers and they tell a very different story. look at this tonight. according to findings from researchers at syracuse university, lower income americans making under $25,000 a year, they are audited at a rate of five times more than anybody else. additionally, other irs data shows 75% of all audits in 2021

were of americans making under $200,000 a year. they say it's only going to be for people making $400,000 a year. this nearly 800 page train wreck of a bill will have working americans paying a whole new host of taxes. they're going to be taxing corporations and small business, gas, coal, oil, and it will all be paid for by you. here with reaction is former arkansas governor mike huckabee along with congressman jim jordan. jim jordan has taken up 9:00 a.m. on friday in the house of representatives, i think we need what four democrats and every republican and we can stop this monstrosity. any chance? >> i do think there's a slim chance. i think it's unlikely. they got it through the senate, this is the democrat's big package but let's hope we can stop it because 87,000 agents going to use your tax money to come after you the taxpayer. and understand who these people are going to be. we know they're going to be left

wing bureaucrats. they're probably not going to have to pay $5 to drive into work like everyone else does because they'll work remote and go after the very people who do bust their tail and do have to go to work who can't zoom it in and remote work. talking about the teacher who has the side business in the summer painting houses. that's who they're coming after. or the mom and dad who got the hardware store, that's who they're coming after, and everyone knows it. and when you couple that with what we saw a couple nights ago against president trump and what we saw yesterday against a colleague of mine, that's why americans are so stinking sick of this and fired up. and they're going to -- and i say this, i believe it, they're going to make a change on november 8th. >> sean: governor, you look at the statistics in that study, you think about it wealthy people can afford tax lawyers and expensive accountants. those accountants and lawyers will fight the irs on their behalf. the people making under 25,000 or under 200,000 a year aren't
6:46 pm
going to be able to afford those lawyers and accountents, are they? >> no, of course they're not sean. what's going to happen is the low-hanging fruit is what gets picked first and that's the people who file their own tax returns. people who if they do get audited are basically going to throw up my hands and say how much do i have to pay to get this to go away. you're exactly right, joe biden can say all day long he's going after billionaires and the rich people. but as you pointed out, the really wealthy people of america of rooms filled with lawyers and accountants and their job is, first of all, to file the tax returns appropriately to begin with. these are not people who try to cheat the taxes, it's not worth it. the second thing, if they do get audited, they know how to fight. but the guy down at the bottom doesn't. so this is going to be just a nightmare. and i'll tell you, one of the groups that needs to be careful, all these nonprofit who are pro life christian and conservative, it will be lois learner all over

again targeting these people because they don't have rooms filled with lawyers and accountants. >> sean: well, when you're there on friday morning, jim jordan, just remind people, these are the same people that said they wouldn't tax people that make under, under $400,000 a year, and the same people that said keep your doctor plan and save money. those are the same people. you can wave good-bye to every moderate democrat in every moderate district because this is the end of their career this vote. do you agree? >> i do, the inflation reduction act will increase inflation. the inflation reduction act will raise taxes. and the inflation reduction act will unleash 87,000 left wing bureaucrats to attack and harass the american taxpayer. and governor huckabee is exactly right, 50 pro-life crisis pregnancy centers have been attacked over the last 14 weeks. they're going to be attacked now -- they've been assaulted gras eaty all kinds of things. they're now going to be as you
