defend themselves. it's untrue. ownership of hand guns today is illegal in canada. it happens fast from justin trudeau. that's it for us tonight. tune in every night 8 p.m. have the best weekend with the ones you love. see you monday. here's sean. >> ♪ ♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity." 18 days and counting and coming up tonight the latest polls as republicans gain momentum even in the most liberal areas of the country including right here in new york. tonight after 2 years with democrats in control of the house, senate and white house, americans are less safe and secure and have less money. they have more debt. their energy costs and grocery costs are through the roof. more than two-thirds of americans are living paycheck it

paycheck and some use credit cards to make ends meet -- the number 1 killer of young americans in in country is now fentanyl. that's pouring across the wide open southern border of joe biden. deaths from drug overoses are higher than ever before. and according to biden we are the closest to ever to a worldwide nuclear armageddon but the economy is strong as hell. with the democrats in charge of everything it's a disaster. according to joe everything is just swell, great and we should all be thanking him. take a look. >> we are starting to see some of the good news on the economy. the price of gas at the pump is coming down. look what i inherited and what i did. they are going to raise big pharma profits. they are not hurting at all.

they will raise your health insurance premiums. it's mega-maga trickle down. the policies that failed the country before and will fail it again. >> sean: let's look at what joe inherited. energy independence. joe biden ended that. $2 gallon gasoline is more than double. inflation is now over 8%. interest rates were 2.7% for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage. now over 7%. a booming housing market that is in a decline, a border that was secure that is now seeing a record. we have never seen this in the history of the country. record levels of illegal immigration. the left's agenda is such a failure many top democrats are attempting an election year conversion. it's fun to watch, but it's all

a lie. >> hell yes, we will take your ar-15. >> i won't take anything from anyone. i want to defend the second amendment. >> fracking, i don't support fracking at all. i never have. >> i support fracking and the energy security that we should have in the united states. >> no more drilling including off-shore. no ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period. >> my administration is not stopped or slowed u.s. oil production. quite the opposite. >> sean: democrats are ruining this country and lying to your face or hiding in their basement bunkers like joe did in 2020. their cheerleaders in the media mob allowed this to happen. they don't ask tough questions. and joe and the socialists could

say the era of big government is over like clinton did but that will never happen. once known as capitol him's best senator it's not clear joe knows what is going on. he is trying to explain why democrats are shunning him on the campaign trail and getting testy about it. can you make sense what have joe is trying to say? >> tim ryan in ohio state doesn't want you there and neither does warnock? >> no, have are 15 i have already gone to. >> sean: joe, they don't want to be near you. can you spend your time in the rocking chair by the beach in delaware and that will make every other candidate giver them a sigh of relief.

take your good friend john fetterman with you before he lets every convicted rapist and murderer out of jail. he voted to release dozens of convicted first degree murderers and other violent felons. fetterman supports zero bail laws and the legalization of hard drugs and wants pennsylvania taxpayers to pay for safe injection sights for heroin addicts and the biggest city in pennsylvania is one of the most violent places on earth. the city of brotherly love, philadelphia setting records for murder, armed robbery and theft thanks to policies like joe biden's and fetterman. fetterman is not acting alone. the guy he endorsed for d.a.

hates prosecuting violent offenders. thanks to him murderers are on the streets and he vacated the sentence of a guy convicted in a 2012 murder. he is now a suspect in another deadly shooting. in this world run by progressives, if you are a hard working, tax paying law abiding american citizen, you are immoral. if you are a violent career criminal, you are revered and 2 tected. -- protected. here with reaction. judge jeanine, you get a guilty verdict and now we set them free? >> the sad part is as a nation we are looking like a third world country.

people are not safe walking the streets. they know in some cities if they go out to get gas, they will be attacked. if they go out in a nice car or any car they could be car jacked with a child inside. they know that this is a democrat way of life. the democrats own this. they own cashless bail. they own the concept of social justice which to this day i have no idea what it means. no one has defined it. they believe these convicted criminals and murderers should be let out of jail. i am not interested in showing them mercy. if they get convicted, they had an appeal and it's been upheld. they need to be sentenced to the sentence that judges give them and that i give them. the guy in pennsylvania who was convicted of murder that fetterman and larry wanted to let out. do you know he killed a father

in front of his 5-year-old son 2 days before christmas? they let him out and he kills another man. people are not safe in america anymore am it starts with this nonsense of defending the police and the democrats don't have any idea how to get this back in line other than they want power and they want to be the ones who decide who is here and who is not here in terms of illegals who come here and whose backgrounds we have no idea. >> sean: are you happy with the economy? 40 year record high inflation. the highest gas prices we have ever paid? happy with a record number of illegal immigrants crossing our border into the country, not vetted at all whatsoever? are you happy -- do you feel safe and secure in your town or

city? are you happy with the woke education agenda versus classical education of reading, writing, math, science and computers? which way will america go. we will go over the poll numbers. a lot of races are close. >> well, said to both of you. a month ago the mainstream media said the republicans candidates are not very good and the democrats might win. you would think that after what you just laid out, and what the judge laid out on fetterman, you think someone in the mainstream media would talk about this. look at barnes who is running against ron johnson. we is campaigning on: he called the idea of what you were talking about of releasing one-half of the state's prisoners, he called that sexy.

he said that he wanted to end-all bail for violent criminals. not to mention the fact we had one guy who got out on no cash bail and ran through the waukesha parade and killed people on christmas eve. barnes went on russia today after the dallas police officers were gunned down in dallas and praised blm and called for defunding police on putin's television channel. he praised iran after khomeini who killed over 1,000 troops, praised blm and called for defunding the police. you can't make it up. this is what republicans are running against. these guys are insane with what they are trying to do in this country. >> sean: good news for

republicans. they are trending in the right direction across the country. an exclusive new poll from insider advantage shows herschel walker gaining in the state of georgia. down by just 2, to the radical ralphael warnock. another poll came out yesterday. them tied at 44-44. another insider poll from pennsylvania showed dr. oz and john fetterman a dead heat. tied for the first time. republicans surging in new york, new hampshire and florida and oregon and nevada and michigan. and wisconsin and also in the state of arizona. michigan the gubernatorial candidate dixon, she is down 2 in a recent poll but dead even in another poll. here to break it down matt with the chief pollster robert is

with us. these raises up 1, 2 or dead even tied. georgia and arizona and nevada and michigan and wisconsin's gubernatorial race. matt, this is auburn hillsnique. -- unique. late deciders will probably break with the challenger in this case. >> i look at what other experts are saying. they are projecting that republicans will pick up georgia, pennsylvania and nevada. they base the georgia one on a runoff taking place in december and the republican being favored. herschel walker there. another group that are experts in polling they are saying the senate is a toss up. they had it as a big chance for

the democrats a few weeks ago. momentum is shifting to the republicans. it's not just in the red states. it's in the purple and even blue states. we are seeing movement like i have not seen in quite sometime. >> sean: your take, robert? >> well, what we continue to see is that so many of these candidates when you looked at the democrats they might have been leading. but they were not over 50. a lot of people that were saying they were undecided or voting for a third party they fell behind the republican. what we followed from the beginning on the undecided. that person was upside down in the biden approval. people who opposed biden were

the majority of the undecided. we expected them to fall in line. someone is vulnerable if they are below 50. >> sean: matt, both of you are friends of mine. i will say this. every trump supporter i know they won't talk to any pollster. is it true that the polling companies are having a hard time getting conservatives to talk to them? >> yes, it's been that way for sometime. robert and i were good at getting them to talk to us in 2020. we won't know until the votes are counted. it's very difficult. let me add this: the communication systems are difficult to get through. we no longer make many land line calls. we go by texts and emails and other ways of communicating with people attachment is becoming difficult. the polling industry is difficult enough. if you have questionnaires that ask 70 questions, nobody wants

to answer the questions. and because they don't, a lot of these pollsters are using panels and they lean democrat. >> sean: let me run through every race with both of you. quick answers. florida. do you think rubio wins in florida. i say he does. robert? >> yes, he wins. >> sean: georgia, does herschel beat warnock? >> after a runoff. but it will help the republicans this year. they strengthened the hand of the republicans by limiting the number of days for the run off. >> i definitely think herschel wins but likely a runoff. there could be a republican surge that we can't count right now. >> sean: do either of you have any concern about south carolina tim scott and john kennedy and ron johnson, rand paul or chuck

grassley in utah? any concern about those races? >> not me. >> probably not. >> sean: what you about new hampshire? >> i think that he has an excellent chance. last time we did he was a hair under 3 points behind. that was with some of the republicans not getting behind a particular candidate. if that gets closer the majority of people -- >> sean: how do you call the state of pennsylvania? who wins there? >> i think it will be tight but i think dr. oz has momentum. we had a poll where he was even and he came up 5 points. >> i think dr. oz gets the most

votes. >> sean: j.d. vance in ohio? what do you see? >> i see vance. he will carry that. >> yeah. >> sean: ron johnson. we agree will win wisconsin? >> yes. >> yes. >> sean: adam? >> definitely, leads the ticket in nevada this time. >> sean: and matt, you agree? blake masters only down 1 in arizona. how do you call that senate race? >> polling for the fox affiliate. doing nothing but coming up and kari lake is leading her race. i think the two will drift ahead and arizona probably goes republican. >> sean: robert agree? >> yes, definitely think masters wins that. >> sean: tiffany smiley in washington against murray?

>> it's a doable thing. i have not poland it. -- polled it. robert has. he can give you a better answer. >> i would like to poll it one more time. she has an excellent chance. i can answer that in a week. >> sean: new york. can zeldin beat kathy hochul? >> yes, he can. it will be tight but the momentum on his side. >> i definitely think so. we are the one started polling it and i still believe that. >> sean: if that happens that will be a tsunami night for republicans. coming up our system of justice. you won't believe what happened in steve bannon's sentencing reaction and a big announcement straight ahead.

i love san francisco, but i'm working overtime to stay here. now is not the time to raise taxes. i'm voting no on propositions m and o, because the cost of everything is going up. san francisco collects more tax revenue than nearly any city in america. but our streets are dirty and public safety is not getting better. i'm working hard to live within my budget. the city should too. join me in voting no on m and o. now is not the time

to raise taxes in san francisco. we can't wait any longer. climate change is here. already threatening san francisco's wastewater treatment plant at ocean beach. risking overflow sewage to dump right into the ocean. there's a solid climate plan in place, but changes to the great highway required by prop i would cost san francisco taxpayers $80 million to draft a new climate plan and put the entire west side and ocean beach at risk of contamination. protect our beach, ocean and essential infrastructure. reject prop i before it's too late.

fox news live. i am in los angeles. appeals court dealing a major legal blow to president biden's student loan relief plan. the federal court will consider a motion from 6 republican led states to block the program. biden's plan would cancel $10,000 dollars in student loan debts for individuals making less than $120,000 a year. south carolina senator lindsey graham is calling on the u.s. supreme court to block an atlanta grand jury suspect. he was called to testify against a committee investigating efforts to overturn the 2020

election. i am matt fin. back to "hannity." >> ♪ ♪ >> sean: the 2 tiered system of justice on display today as former trump advisor steve bannon was sentenced to 4 months in prison after being convicted of contempt of congress for failing to comply with a subpoena from the sham january 6th committee. here's bannon reacting. >> i want to thank all of you guys for coming. remember, this illegitimate regime their judgment day is november 8 when the biden administration ends. >> sean: bannon will remain free pending appeal. only the latest evidence that the biden doj is playing politics with justice in our country and using the system to

attack donald trump and allies. many democrats have been health in contempt of congress but every charged. why? eric holder held in contempt for refusing to turn over documents about obama. learner was held in contempt for defying a subpoena regarding obama. and janet reno was defied a suspect but never charged. bannon is the first person to be prosecuted with contempt of congress in 1983 and that was acquitted. here is laura trump and joe

concha. he will co-host the big saturday show this weekend. hopefully maybe one day leading to your mediaio. i wish. lara trump, there is a 2 tiered system of justice. you and your family experienced this. it's gone on for 6 long years. >> yes, it's disgusting, everybody knows the truth. you said it about the january 6th submit. -- committee. it's a sham. if they wanted to seek the truth they would have called nancy pelosi to testify. that will never happen. the problem they have is that they were putting all of their eggs in this january 6th basket. they have not convinced anyone it's the most important thing in america right now. they are left with one thing: intimidation. their goal with this situation is to intimidate anyone who

might speak out against them and anybody who might want to work with donald trump in the future and especially anyone should my father-in-law run in 2024 who may vote for him. we endured this month's long charade by the democrats and we are 2 weeks away from the very important mid-term elections. they had to do something. which was charge steve bannon with this unprecedented charge. it's a banana republic trial. if you are upset in america, fight back. go vote on november 8. vote those people out and vote republicans in. we have to get back our country. we can't operate going forward. >> sean: i agree.

greg you had a column on this earlier today. you went into specifics on the law and precedents and the fact that bannon was listening to his lawyer and had every right to listen to his lawyer and executive privlage is donald trump's and it was invoked. that should have been resolved first. >> that's right. the judge invoked the wrong legal standard on willful defiance of a subpoena. relied on an outdated circuit court case that was reversed by the u.s. supreme court. the problem standard is that prosecutors have to prove the defendant knew his actions were unlawful. if he believed on advice of counsel that his actions are lawful he can't be held in contempt nor convicted.

it was folly for the prosecution, the department of justified to say there is no executive privilege because bannon at the time was not an employee. if a president can waive the privilege of a prior president that renders it meaningless. we encourage presidents to consult with people not in their inner circle but seek good advice outside. i think this case will be tossed. >> sean: i would bet a significant amount of money, joe concha, what we have outlined here in terms of the law, and what we have been talking about with the politics

and what lara trump and i were saying, eric holder they didn't prosecute him or janet reno. this is the first time since 1983. will any media outlet ever talk about that perspective? >> one would think that you sud suddenly -- have to look at the precedents. holder and reno defied these subpoenas. you would think that would be mentioned but it won't. the american people, they look at the rests of the president's allies and his former cabinet members and see the civil suit from the new york attorney general who declared she would do this before she was elected and see the january 6th beyond partisan. would not allow for the

cross-examination of witnesses and say this doesn't look like america. while the "new york times" and the "washington post" will treat had has a huge story, americans are focussed on the cost-of-living reaching unsustainable levels and a country without borders. the media is concentrating on trump and bannon and people out of power for sometime. it will come back to bite them 18 days from now. >> sean: last legal question for greg. he will win on appeal? >> yes, he absolutely will. bannon received a letter from the president's lawyers saying the president invoked executive privilege directing him not to testify. the president holds that privilege. bannon can't waive it. i think the supreme court will take a look at this and say we are tossing the conviction.

>> well, sean, you have been talking to the candidates about their agenda. i have talked with the voters. it's simple. they benefitted from the trump economy and now they are in hell with gas prices and grocery store. moms not able to get baby formula. life is different. we came from minority growth when they were building businesses. they had opportunity. that's not the case and then the crime across the country. we started to reporting on this 3 years ago when i was traveling across the country warning people that the liberal cities were in crisis. now that biden is in office and the liberals have control of all of government, it's only gotten worse. i think the minorities are choosing their future right now. if we continue down this path, they know it's going to be hell for the next generation.

>> sean: lj, we will watch tonight. early voting the turnout in georgia is exposing a big lie from democrats and the media mob that georgia's new voting law jim crow 2.0would reduce voter participation. those claims have been undermined because that jim crow 2.0 is being debunked every day. it's still not stopping hollywood liberals and stacey abrams from doubling down on the lying ahead of the mid-terms. the numbers speak for themselves. here's what stacey abrams said with oprah winfrey. >> we don't elect me, we will have no healthcare for half a million georgians. children will go to under-funded schools with transgender children are banned from playing with their friends. you have to lie to children

about their history. >> we the people are asking what can we do to help? the biggest answer is you vote. too much is at stake not to. as you are listening, what will happen if you don't, it's really frightening. >> sean: stacey abrams and her allies kept referring to jim crow 2.0. now we have record voting never before seen in the state of georgia. take a look. >> i agree it's racist. it's jim crow. >> this makes jim crow look like jim eagle. >> sean: here is virginia lt. governor sears is with us. i fear if these policies continue, our 41 year high of inflation will continue. we won't recover from that. i fear that gas prices will

triple. double what they are now. i fear that we won't have secure borders. i fear that law and order that this defund and no bail laws will continue. nobody is safe and secure in their town. i am also concerned about woke education versus a traditional education. those are the things they think are dangerous to the country. your thoughts? >> you're absolutely right. you are not just saying you are fearful of these things. they are happening. they are happening right now. it's not something in the future. that's why you see people making a different decision to say, it's not working out. we the president of the same party. congress the same party. we are no better off. they have us at each other's throats. i just listened to some of what oprah talked about with stacey abrams.

stacey abrams came here last year in october to help the other side to win. visited 7 black churches and it didn't work because people understand what is really going on. they decided to make a different choice when republicans. ed to reopen the schools. the democrats said no. and said that we were being racist and wanted to kill the black children. can you believe that's the rhetoric? you know who didn't believe it. enough black people and enough latino people. they talk about racism. i say this to you. let me read it because i am fact checked everywhere i go. president biden 2006 said this: you can't go to a 7-11 or a dunkin doughnuts unless you have a slight indian accent." this is the man who claims to love everybody. we don't even have to go that far. let's see what he said in 2020 -- >> sean: i can up the ante. he partnered with a former klans

man berg against the integration of public schools and didn't want the schools to become racism youngles. that's -- jungles. >> yes. and bird was an exalted grand cyclops. the kkk k is rolling over in their grave. we have to make a different choice this year. this election very important. vote for your children. parents don't let them destroy our families. inflation is upon us. recession is upon us. you see what is happening in the world. vote republican this year. >> sean: great to you have back on the program. when we come back, former

taught me unless the jewish people defend their state we could suffer from the horrors of the howl cast. holocaust. i described in my book my journey as a diplomat and the prime minister of israel. i revealed some of the things of my military service. i led many secret operations behind enemy lines. i was shot at rescuing a hijacked airplane. we liberated hostages. i nearly drowned in the suez

canal and nearly bitten by a scorpion. you survived and so did all of my men. 4 years after i left the military by brother stayed in the secret unit where we were both serving. we were three brothers in this tiny unit like navy seals and delta force rolled into one. my brother led the most spectacular rescue in modern times without precedent the "new york times" called it in history. my brother fell well rescuing 103 hostages in the hearts of africa with a handful of men. overcame terrorists and the troops guarding them. this was the turning point in the free world's battle against terrorism. for me it was a great tragedy because i didn't know if i could

live. i told my parents of my brother's falling. it was like dying twice. i didn't know how i would live. my older brother's sacrifice and the inconsolable grief lead me to channel my efforts to recruit the free world to a tougher stance against international terrorism and led me into politics. i did everything i learned from my father and brother. >> sean: you have a good chance of winning. i hope the people of israel are smart enough to put you back in office. these are turbulent times. you talk about the deal that barack obama and joe biden made with the mullahs in iran. joe biden looking to make
