tv   Hannity  FOX News  August 26, 2022 6:00pm-7:00pm PDT

6:00 pm
coming on. >> thank you, tucker. >> that conversation with andrew tate, we played you part of it. you can stream it. we will be back at 8:00 p.m. the sworn enemy of lying smugness have the best weekend. the best nonpolitical happy weekend with the ones you love. we will see you monday. welcome to this special edition of hannity. i am jason in for sean. tonight after weeks of speculation and selective anonymous leaks, the affidavit used in the mar-a-lago rate has officially been released to the public. unfortunately, magistrate judge bruce reinhart allowed the doj to go wild with redactions. keep in mind judge reinhardt is an obama donor who recused himself from a prior case
6:01 pm
involving donald trump and hillary clinton. potentially because of political bias. unfortunately, we still don't know exactly what the fbi was searching for and we don't know the justification behind the raid. as gregg jarrett put it in a piece on foxnews.com, quote, the doj's redacted trumpet raid affidavit revealed precious little. earlier today former president trump reacted on truth social writing, quote, nothing mentioned on nuclear. a total public relations subterfuge by the fbi and doj or our close working relationship regarding document turnover. we gave them much. the big question tonight, where does it all go from here? joining us with analysis, the author of the price of principle. harvard law professor alan dershowitz along with former u.s. attorney brett tolman and fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. thank you for joining us. you are a former u.s. attorney.
6:02 pm
i will start with you. i cannot get past the fact that a judge less than two months ago had to recuse themselves. we don't know why, but had to recuse himself from a trump issue and less than two months later he is making this ruling. i don't get how that happens in today's legal system. cino jason, if the recusal came as a result of the political connection between this judge and hillary clinton, which most likely it was, then it really is outrageous that he would not recuse himself when the main political adversary of hillary clinton, obama and biden and anyone on the left as former president donald trump you would have thought it would have applied also in this circumstance especially in the criminal law when there's a lot more on the line. >> craig, i love the piece you wrote on fox news.com, but essentially they were giving a fishing license to go to town on donald trump's residents.
6:03 pm
what is your reed on what you read in the affidavit? >> this is what i read. there are 20 pages of this out of a total of 30. you will require that merrick garland stood in front of cameras and microphones and would say we will speak four our filings. this is how he speaks. he muzzles his voice with blacking. he probably ran through 2 or 3 sharpie pens to do all 20 pages of this. the first eight pages we actually get to see that that is simply a recitation by rote of legal statutory quotations and vague background information. but you do learn two things. two mistakes by the fbi and merrick garland. first of all, they assume that all of these documents they want, or some of them are classified without considering
6:04 pm
that trump may have declassified them. the second mistake is they automatically assume that these three statutes, criminal statutes, general statutes that they cite as authority that gives them probable cause to go into trump's home is controlling the law. they never considered that it's not a controlling law of the presidential records act. it is a specific statute that takes precedent over the general statutes and it does give a former president a measure and a right of control and custody, access and possession. but they never consider that and neither, by the way, do the magistrate when they sign off on this. >> professor dershowitz, you have seen a lot of cases in your time. what do you make of this situation? >> i disagree with your two previous speakers. reinhardt did the right thing by signing the search warrant. every single judge and
6:05 pm
magistrate in the united states would have found probable cause based on this affidavit. they may have narrowed the search somewhat, but there is absolutely no doubt that it was probable cause. that is number one. number two, the real problem- >> hold on a second. i want to ask a question. the judge recused himself less than two months later on a case on donald trump. how does he turn around and say i can make a ruling on this? >> every judge would have made the same ruling. no harm, no foul. the problem was not with reinhardt. it was with the attorney general who did not follow his own guidelines. there should never have been a search warrant requested to here. there was a subpoena issued and what i read, and i read it all, of the unredacted material makes a strong case against a search warrant. there was no urgency. if they wanted a search warrant, if it was so urgent, they could have gotten it five months ago.
6:06 pm
and even when they got the search warrant, they waited two days. there was no justification 4a search warrant. if you want to talk about who is to blame it is not reinhardt. it's the attorney general of the united states. he should never have sought a search warrant. the other important thing is there is enough evidence here to indict trump. but trump will not be indicted in my view because the evidence doesn't pass what i call the nixon/clicks and standards. the case has to be so overwhelmingly strong and need republicans work. the clinton standard is why is this case more serious than clinton's case where there wasn't a criminal prosecution? i think the three points are there was probable cause, they shouldn't have a warrant. there isn't enough or an indictment but there will not be an indictment and should not be an indictment based on what we have seen up to now. once it's unredacted we will change our minds.
6:07 pm
>> let's hear your reaction. >> a fair and impartial judge would have looked at this thing and asked to challenging questions. they would have said, wait a minute. the controlling statute here is presidential records ask. why aren't you seeking an enforcement proceeding here to get the documents that you want? that's what a good judge would have done. a judge would have seen through this charade. >> name a judge. >> hold on. let's let brett respond to this. what is your take? >> if there is probable cause in this affidavit, it is in the redacted parts. the unredacted parts do not have probable cause. it is not sufficient based on what we know in order to justify the search warrant. i agree with the professor that a search warrant was not justified in this case both because we don't have the probable cause necessary to issue it but also because the
6:08 pm
very things that are outlined in the unredacted part explicitly indicate a back-and-forth dialogue. it reads more like a civil dispute. let me tell you, jason, if you have to take 38 pages to try to convince a judge that there is probable cause we may have a problem with your case. >> it is an extremely low standard. warrants are given out like christmas gifts. this judge did a much better job than most did. most judges would not have issued the affidavit even with redactions. this judge had no choice. i don't believe there's a judge in the country would not have issued a search warrant. some of them had asked some hard questions. the judge job is different from the attorney general. the judge has to look at the evidence in the affidavit and make a legal decision. the attorney general has to make a discretionary decision. he has to abide by justice department standards. if you are going to point the
6:09 pm
finger at anybody, pointed at garlands, not at reinhardt. that is my view. i think they had enough to get probable cause, but they shouldn't have sought a warrant in the first place. if they did seek a warrant is should have been narrower. there is no justification four searching the closet of misses trump or even going into the safe. i didn't see any cause were that. general probable cause is that. >> greg, why didn't this judge take a look at the warrant itself and say wait a minute, this is a general search warrant. that's a direct violation of the fourth amendment to the constitution which requires specificity, particularly described documents to be seized at particular locations. none of that is in this mourning to. so a good judge would have seen through this sham and would have said, wait a minute. i will not sign off on something like this. it's a violation of the target's constitutional right to.
6:10 pm
>> brett, what is your reaction to that? >> this is not a normal case. this is not a standard case. this is one in which the president clearly can possess classified documents. the president also has the unfettered ability the supreme court tells us that he can declassify documents. without the judge being informed properly of that, you don't have a basis in judge reinhardt's position to understand whether or not you truly have a statute that applies in that circumstance. it may be accurate, but we don't know yet. we don't know whether or not there was probable cause. >> professor, hold on. i will give you the last word. i want you to keep in mind that the president of the united states always in perpetuity has the highest classification that is possible. to suggest that they are not in a a secure situation where they are protected by the secret
6:11 pm
service, four goodness sake, is hardly a case to be made that they are out there floating out there in the public and impose a grave danger. i do agree with you the idea that they didn't act immediately if there was such urgency that why 19 months after donald trump left office that they are not just doing this it does not lend to the credibility before we go into the midterms. >> i agree with all that. there was probable cause even without the classification issue. to get probable cause all you have to show is that there is a probability that you can find evidence of some crime and the crime specified in the warrant. they included all kinds of things that hillary clinton was charged with. she was not subjected to a search warrant, thus the double standard. i want to make a sharp distinction between what the judge did and should have done. i agree we should have narrowed the search warrant and asked
6:12 pm
more question. there was probable cause, but there was not enough urgency before the attorney general to violate the standards of the justice department, particularly against a future presidential candidate who is running against the president who appointed the attorney general. in that situation you have to be extra careful to make sure that justice is not only done, but it is seen to be done. this does not satisfy that standard. >> gentlemen, you are getting to the heart of the knob. we have to move on. i want to thank the three of you. when i was the chairman of the oversight committee and i issued subpoenas and hillary clinton took a bleach bit and destroyed documents, when we issued subpoenas on the irs for documents on political targeting and they destroyed documents, when we had these types of situations, guess what? the department of justice didn't go in guns blazing with documents to go sees things. they handed out immunity agreements to those people.
6:13 pm
that's the rub. it's the unequal application of justice that makes this totally and fundamentally targeting situation and it's not write. until lady justice ask the same with a biden and a clinton as it does with a trump or anybody in between, we are going to continue to have a problem in this country. i have to move on. i went over time. i really do thank you for joining us tonight on hannity. now with more evidence of rampant political bias at the fbi, yesterday we learned that prior to the 2020 election fbi officials reached out to social media giant facebook and strongly suggested that the very real hunter biden laptop scandal was russian disinformation. naturally, mark zuckerberg was compliant. he took measures to suppress the story on his platform. now top republicans are demanding answers including senator josh hawley who tweeted,
6:14 pm
quote, the fbi preemptively warned facebook off hunter biden laptop reporting. this same agency effectively laundered russian disinformation in the 2016 election in the form of steel dossier and later lied to a court to get wiretaps. that is not a good look fur america's premier law enforcement agency. joining us now with the reaction, fox news contributors joe concha, charlie hirt and arizona congressman andy biggs. congressman, i will start with you. the idea that the department of justice is tipping off one of the biggest social media platforms on the planet, facebook, and erroneously labeling it as russian disinformation so they had the justification to say we will suppress this. how is that just another example of political bias at the department of justice? what in the world can you do about it as a member of the diversionary committee in the
6:15 pm
house? >> this stinks to high heaven, jason. it's a great example of the political bias that we have seen and you have been discussing tonight. but i will tell you this. zuckerberg doesn't have clean hands. he distributed over $400 million to try to influence the election. he was really a susceptible target to fbi disinformation. that's what it was about the election. what the judiciary committee has to do and the oversight committee as well, we have to get in and get the fbi and bring this thing to ground. we have to find out who actually approved this dense information campaign to facebook and twitter and the big tech but he myths that are going to influence the election. that is critical, jason. i think we can do it with jim jordan. i hope he will be the chairman. we are ready to do it. i have been talking with the
6:16 pm
chairman of oversight today about some of these issues. we are ready to go. i told him we need to get our preservation letters going. we need to make sure we are ready to go on day one to bring the fbi in. christopher ray said a couple months ago that if that happened it would be problematic. it is not problematic. it is potentially criminal in nature. >> director ray was hired to clean up the fbi. all you have to do is read through the 1000 pages four the inspector general and you will find more than a dozen instances where the fbi used its political influence to affect elections. joe, who else besides clinton and bite and get this kind of heads-up or political help four what is supposed to be the impartial department of justice? >> the big question. it's beyond alarming. here you have the u.s.
6:17 pm
government in the form of the fbi telling a very private and quite large communications platform. we are talking billions of members. what news should and should not be shared on their platforms. facebook did not censor the hunter biden story like twitter did, but they sure did suppress it. per zuckerberg's own admission. what strikes me about this clip is how nonchalant zuckerberg was in sharing this information with joe rogan. he was talking about his trip to bed, bath & beyond as if the fbi coming to him to warn him about a specific story obviously negative to the democratic nominee. it's all perfectly normal. here's what i want to know. did the fbi go to zuckerberg about other stories during the campaign season? per instance, did they advise him, speaking of russia, to be highly skeptical about the now debunked story that the russians had bounties on u.s. troops and trump ignored it?
6:18 pm
that was a huge story in 2020. biden broached it during the debates as a gotcha. it was completely false. it appears the fbi had no issue with that story being amplified on facebook and twitter. the big question also now is the top brass of the fbi, we are taught talking about the boots on the ground. the top people, are they taking sides politically against a political party? that's the question we have an zuckerberg and chris wray trump appointed fbi director, they need to be re-summoned to capitol hill to explain all of this win republicans take back control of congress. it's vital that we need to start that. trust our institutions again. >> that is the heart of the issue. lady justice is supposed to have that blindfold. but the clinton and biden get a special treatment. when you have two sitting united states senators asking for
6:19 pm
information and those documents are being slow walked, what is the public to do? how are you going to gain trust back in the system if our elected representatives and senators cannot get to the heart of this information? >> honestly, i hate to say it, jason, but the only way that the fbi and the doj reclaim credibility is to clean house. i don't think the doj is capable of cleaning house themselves. i think it has to be done by congress. or the executive branch in two years. that's the only way you root out this level of rot. let's not forget the fbi did everything they could to rig the 2016 election. they failed and refused to prosecute hillary clinton for what was clearly crimes they admit were crimes. they spied on donald trump, a candidate or president at the height of a presidential campaign. we are starting to realize now
6:20 pm
that in 2020 they were just hell-bent to do what they failed to do in 2016. they were as angry as mark zuckerberg was that his platform got used by an army of trump supporters to spread the message and the issues and the campaign that donald trump was running on. they were just hell-bent on using their power. extraordinary power in order to destroy trump and prop up joe biden. we now have a situation where you have the fbi literally going after republicans in the united states senate and preventing them from doing their jobs. these are massive constitutional issues. if they don't get addressed, we are screwed as a country. >> here is why i am so skeptical and truly worried. kevin klein smith worked at the fbi and altered documents.
6:21 pm
guess what? he pled guilty to that. just a few months later the bar reinstated him to full-service. he can be a practicing attorney. keep on moving on. are you kidding me? that is such a joke. charlie, joe, andy, thank you. >> coming up, despite endless calls were unity they continue to spew hate. we will bring you the latest as leo and lauren boebert way in next.
6:22 pm
6:23 pm
6:24 pm
6:25 pm
welcome back. the uniter in chief strikes again. president joe biden is so committed to mending our country 's political divide that last night he referred to half of america as extreme maga
6:26 pm
republicans who are destroying the country with semi- fascism. watch this. >> the maga republicans don't just threaten our personal rights and economic security. they are a threat to our very democracy. they refused to accept the will of the people. they embrace political violence. they don't believe in democracy. this is why in this moment those of you who love this country, democrats, independents, mainstream republicans, we must be stronger, more determined and more committed to saving america then the maga republicans are destroying america. >> that was last night around 8:00 p.m., which apparently is weigh too late four the president. today, a noticeably exhausted joe biden was so out of it that it he could barely form a complete sentence. watch this.
6:27 pm
>> tell me how you do that. >> it is clearing space. you are accurate. but how in making the case of the freedom men have, what do you do other than to sort of embarrass men into the argument and voting the right weigh on this issue? >> biden has two speeds. incoherent mumbling and fits of rage. of course, biden is not the only democrat with a political strategy centered around vilifying half of america. have a look at this. >> they are fighting to bring government back to the people and out of the hands of dictators! we are here to say that the arrow of trump and selden and molinaro just jump on a bus and head down to florida where you belong. get out of town! get out of town!
6:28 pm
you don't represent our values. you are not new yorkers. >> those who support the governor should stay with him and vote four him. i don't want your vote to. if you have that hate in your heart, keep it there. >> joining us now, fox news contributor leo and congresswoman lauren boebert. my brother has worked on her campaign. thank you so much were joining us. congresswoman, you seem to be one of these radical maga people that doesn't like the country and wants to do harm to the country. i'm pretty sure they were talking about you. >> may be. i am pretty sure they forgot to give joe biden his meds. how the heck can joe biden call america first conservatives a threat to democracy with a straight face and a dry diaper? he is the one that has allowed millions to invade our southern border. he is robbing hard-working americans to peifer karen's
6:29 pm
daughter degree and dance theory. his regime is the one targeting former elected officials from president trump to current sitting congressman chairman of the house freedom caucus scott perry. joe biden is the one that let 13 of our finest die in afghanistan one year ago today. we aren't destroying america. he is. jason, conservatives exist to preserve our constitutional republic and that's a direct threat to the socialist socialist democrat power. joe's handlers are so scared they will lose power they finally drugged him from vacation to make these ridiculous statements. it was an utter fail. >> leo, this guy was elected on the premise, he told america he would bring the country together and be the uniter in chief. i don't hear the writer kick or see the policy or see them reaching out. i just don't see it. >> you will never see it because
6:30 pm
he lied to the american public. he threw 75 million people, trump supporters, under the bus. i am a trump supporter. for him to broad stroke every trump supporter and there's more than 75 million who believe in the rule of law. it's so disingenuous. it's about power and control, jason. joe biden is a man on an island. he is unwanted by his own party. he is out their alone. the biggest threat to american democracy. all joe biden has to do is look in the mirror. he's the biggest threat to the safety of this country. we talk about the 13 american service workers who were killed based on his inadequacy as president. then you look at charlie crist. same as tate. charlie crist will lose before the race. he doesn't have to worry about that. the governor of new york, the second worst state. i live in the worst state, california, where crime, homelessness, inflation is
6:31 pm
rampant. this is a democratic party that is doubling down and law-abiding american citizens, trump supporters, will make it known in november when the congress flips. >> congresswoman, we have just a few seconds left. i don't think these coastal elites, these democrats, have ever bothered or even care to truly understand what the ordinary americans are going through. they get mocked four working hard and loving their family and going to church and may own a gun. all they do is mock people four it for it. >> jason, democrats are the masters of blaming others fur their own behavior. democrats are the party of higher taxes, crime, open borders and inflation galore. democrats create the prices, blame republicans and launch investigations to distract from their miserable policies. americans know what is up and they know who to blame because
6:32 pm
they had enough of this garbage. there are plenty of ultra mega americans who put america first who are tired of this and plenty of unaffiliated independents who just want to be in control of their children's indication education and want a voice in their children's future and provide further family. they've had enough of this. >> they want self-determination and want government to get out of the way. that's the heart of conservativism. leo terrel, congresswoman, thank you for joining us on hannity tonight. straight ahead, more mandate madness from the left. joseph ladapo breaks down the latest. plus, student debt handout promises have a devastating effect. congressman byron donaldson reacts. stay with us.

6:37 pm
washington, d.c. just can't say goodbye to covid. mayor murial bowser has announced that all students in the district must get vaccinated by january to attend school. there will be no option for remote learning are those who don't. there is just one problem with that. roughly 40% and black students in certain age groups have not been vaccinated. so they are out of luck for schooling next year unless they get the shot. meanwhile, georgetown university is reminding students that masks are still required in classrooms and warning them of the other serious threat on campus, monkeypox. but thankfully one person in the city still seems to have some sense. a local judge who struck down mayor bowser's vaccine requirements for city workers. now with the reaction is joseph
6:38 pm
ladapo, the florida surgeon general. he is the author of the new book transcend fear. mr. surgeon general, thanks were joining us tonight. i appreciate it. when you hear about the craziness that is washington, d.c. and students not being able to go to school, at this point related to covid, what is your reaction? >> i think i have the same reaction as most americans, which is let's move on. these policies, they are not sensible. they weren't sensible even a year or year and a half ago when they were started. you have a vaccine that isn't effective at stopping transmission. you've got multiple clinical trials that don't show a benefit from wearing a mask. the issue has really become a political issue and an issue of doctrine rather then an issue of science. the science is very clear about
6:39 pm
what we should be doing at this point. >> how about at georgetown where they say you have to where a mask because of monkeypox. but monkeypox isn't transmitted in an airborne situation, right? >> it is hard to put down that mask sometimes when you pick it up and put so much belief in it. this is the thing. these people clearly have got no boundaries. they are going to keep doing things like this until other people say no. the shame of it is that many people who are students in these universities know that these aren't good policies. but people are often afraid to say know, afraid to stick their neck out, afraid to be called bad names or be smeared by media or other individuals. and frankly, that is one of the issues that i discussed in my
6:40 pm
book. how people can move from where they are if they are participating in these types of things to a place where they are no longer doing that and they are contributing in a meaningful, positive weigh to everyone around them. >> surgeon general, i wish we had more time. congratulations on the book, transcend fear. i appreciate you joining us on hannity. don't check your 401(k) balance tonight because the stock market had one of the worst days in months. investors were reacting to a speech from fed chairman jerome powell who said he is committed to fighting inflation no matter what. have a look. >> reducing inflation is likely to require a sustained period of sustained growth. moreover, there will very likely be softening of labor market conditions. while higher interest rates, slower growth and softer labor market conditions will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households
6:41 pm
and businesses. these are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation. but a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain. >> one thing is certainly not going to help inflation is biden's student debt relief scam. now congressional republicans are speaking out demanding nancy pelosi stand up to biden and remind him as she herself once said, that he does not have the power to unilaterally cancel student debt. here now with more are florida congressman byron donaldson and foxbusiness contributor phil flynn. gentlemen, thanks were joining us. congressman, i will start with you. raising taxes, throwing hundreds of billions of dollars, that didn't happen after inflation did it? >> it will actually cause more inflation. the problem is that joe biden and the democrats have nothing else to run on. the only weigh to fix america is
6:42 pm
to reverse course on all of their crazy policies. how can you run for election in a couple months while reversing course on your agenda to fix the country? it doesn't work. they will double down and tripled down and it will cause more harm. it's about time that secretary powell, chairman powell, excuse me started admitting what everybody else knows. this is going to get much worse if we don't raise interest rates, strangle the inflation. on capitol hill we have to stop the insanity. >> yeah. it takes discipline. but in an election year it is an collection year. the white house never seems to be able to do that. you saw the fed chairman, comments and the reduction act. what is your take on this? >> my take is fed chairman powell basically said, listen to the american people. you have to take a lot of pain. you may lose your job because of
6:43 pm
the bad policies we made in washington. that's what he said very clearly. it's obvious that the biden administration policies have been added to inflation. they can blame vladimir putin and say it's transitory, but the record amount of spending and once again the college spending bill which is more inflationary and causes more problems down the road is causing more economic pain where the average americans. a lot of average americans couldn't even get a lone to go to college yet but they might have to work to pay off other peoples loans. that is a very bad thing. the main reason that the biden administration said the cost of college has gone up and federal grants have not kept pace. the question is why our college prices going up faster than inflation? the biden administration is trying to make more inflation to keep up with college costs, i guess. >> it is crazy times.
6:44 pm
the left is going to be galvanized on the roe v. wade issue. we have seen that playing out. congressman, what is going to be the call for republicans to get out the vote come november? >> i have a laundry list. number one, securing the border and stopping fentanyl from killing kids and people in the united states. number two, having a sound spending strategy to curtail inflation and get our fiscal house in order. number three, actually having some real strategies with respect to the oil markets in the united states, the energy framework in the united states, that can bring cheap fuel for the american people. number for, having real investigations and holding the administration accountable. every american knows whether you are republican democrat or independent, this president and administration is failing you and republicans are the only ones that will hold joe biden
6:45 pm
accountable. >> fiscal discipline, limited government accountability and a strong national defense. that is the key. adhere to the constitution. i think you are right. phil flynn, thank you for joining us tonight on "hannity". coming up we will play more of sara carter's exclusive interview with a human smuggler in central america. she joins us along with arizona attorney general mark attorney general mark brnovich for their reaction. new astepro allergy. no allergy spray is faster. with the speed of astepro, almost nothing can slow you down. because astepro starts working in 30 minutes, while other allergy sprays take hours. and astepro is the first and only 24-hour steroid free allergy spray. now without a prescription. astepro and go.

6:48 pm
i was injured in a car crash. i had no idea how much my case was worth. i called the barnes firm. when a truck hit my son, i had so many questions about his case. i called the barnes firm. it was the best call i could've made. your case is often worth more than insuran call the barnes firm to find out i could've made. what your case could be worth. we will help get you the best result possible.
6:49 pm
♪ the barnes firm, injury attorneys ♪ call one eight hundred,est resul eight million ♪ welcome back to this special edition of "hannity". this week you have seen parts one and two of our own sara carter's interview with a human smuggler in central america. here is the final part of her exclusive "hannity"
6:50 pm
investigation. how much money do you charge, if you don't mind me asking, for a single person or family i'm sure it's more expensive. >> we have two payments. the first one is $12000 and the second one is $16000. >> those payments are two separate payments. one before the journey and the other is made win? >> the first half we asked them to pay it here because we use the money to start to pay the fees that are needed in the journey. seen at the other half, when do they pay it? >> the other half is paid once they are over in the state's with a family. >> what if they don't pay? >> they have a guarantee over here in el salvador. and the case they don't pay we take away their car or their house. >> the united states policy has changed dramatically. under biden we expect more than 170,000 plus children to enter
6:51 pm
the united states without adults. this year. there is many more they are trafficking. some of those are the ones that are disappearing. >> in most cases when it happens is when immigration comes and they start running in the opposite direction and get lost. that is where people get them. >> has it gotten easier under president biden? >> in some ways, yes. it is better to be accessible to be places we travel to. >> sera joins us now along with arizona attorney general mark brnovich. congratulations. those three reports are some serious good investigative work. what happens when the people don't pay? what happens when they lose track of their family? what then? >> i have to tell you, i think the horror, jason, is that when people do disappear many times they are killed. many times they die along the
6:52 pm
journey. it could be just the elements, the environment. we saw that several children died this week in the rio grande river. they were drowned when the undercurrent swept them away from there guardians and from their mother. this is a horrific situation. we heard from a smuggler this week in those interviews. i've got to tell you it was gut wrenching when he offered up to me, and this is the reason why he spoke to me. it goes beyond just smuggling people. the cartels are literally taking some of these children, allegedly, organ harvesting. some of these children are killed even before they make it to the united states. remember over 170,000 unaccompanied minors are expected to arrive in the u.s. this year. the numbers are probably much hire than that. the biden administration has made it so much easier for them to get into the country. i think that's the message he is trying to say.

this isn't just about smuggling. this is about the loss of life. >> mr. attorney general, you are the attorney general of a border state. you have taken a tough stance on this. you hear the secretary say the border is closed and there is operational control. i think your experience and what sarah is reporting is far different from that. >> i think secretary my arcus is the least confident member of the biden administration. that says a heck of a lot. i also want to congratulate sarah because she deserves an and me. i will be the first one to congratulate her for the work on what she is doing covering the border with so few reporters in the past unwilling to do so. just the number she said, 170,000. think about it. those are just unaccompanied minors. that's like the entire population of macon, georgia or paterson, new jersey and one your coming to our country. you know the cartels make money

off people being smuggled and the drugs being smuggled across the border. in places like arizona where i grew up and as a gang and federal prosecutor and now the ag, fentanyl related overdoses are now 57% of the deaths of young people in our state. for years ago it was 40%. people are dying. americans are paying the cost. people from central america are being exploited by cartels and joe biden is empowering them. >> go ahead. i said our government is empowering these cartels. the only winners here are the hundreds of billions of dollars being made by the cartels. i say this over and over again, jason. the biden administration and those people working for the biden administration are well aware of what they are doing at the border. they are well aware of the chaos they are creating at the border. they don't want to answer the
6:55 pm
question why. we are perpetuating the deaths of children and innocent, helpless people including our own children. i think the question that needs to be proposed to the biden administration is why are you doing this? what are you benefiting from this? what are you looking for? what are you seeking? the border is wide open. it is wide open because they want it to be. >> they are complicit. the biden administration is complicit in this human trafficking. mr. attorney general, we owe you some time. sarah, congratulations on that amazing reporting you have done. thank you. stay with us. we will be back with more "hannity" after this break.
