plants, because they can't rely on them, even if they have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of the existence of the plan. it's going to become a wind generation. all they're doing is saving them a helluva a lot of money. we're going to be shutting the plants down across america. >> tucker: wind turbines. >> sean: welcome to "hannity" this friday night. we open with a question tonight. are you better off than you were two years ago because in four days you'll have a critical opportunity to answer that question at the ballot box. now only you can check joe biden and the radical democratic socialist party. only you can hold them accountable for the years of lies and abuse. tonight that abuse is now reaching a boiling point. the democrats, their closing message to you, the american

people, is americans that don't vote for us are nazis. you don't believe me. take a look. >> this is what happens in a country that follows what happened in germany in the early '30s. and i said this in 2018, and caught a lot of hell from a lot of people for having said it, but it was true then and it's true now. this country is on track to repeat what happened in germany when it was the greatest democracy going, elected a chancellor who then co-op'd the media. >> sean: devoid of anything positive at all they can run on, democrats are attempting to begin up fear by dehumanizing half the country. this week alone they compared, let's see, republicans suburban women to roaches. they compared conservatives to nazis. they accused us of plotting to overthrow democracy. they said that america's streets will run red with blood if

republicans get elected. we're not exaggerating. we report. you decide. >> overwhelming majority of americans believe our democracy is at risk, that democracy is under threat. they too see that democracy is on the ballot this year. they're deeply concerned about it. >> what was at stake tonight, and this week, was the fact, whether we will be a democracy in the future, whether our children will be arrested and conceivably killed. we're on the edge of a brutal authoritarian system. >> white republican suburban women are now going to vote republican. >> why? >> it's almost like roaches voting for raid. >> they're pushing out all these polls to muddy up the averages, and create the narrative of a red wave. if it doesn't happen, aren't we going to be in more danger of

violence, because they've created a narrative, and if it hadn't happen they'll say the whole electric was stolen. >> we're seeing a whole political party, and those who support it, enable it, run under its banner, engaging in behavior that is so dangerous. i find frankly disqualifying for people who are running for office. of the. >> sean: children arrested, they're going to be killed, nazi germany analogies and suburban women that vote republican. it's like roaches voting for raid. according to the left, the only crisis in america is republicans who win an election. violent crime is a vast right wing conspiracy theory in their world, the border being totally out of control? no. it's secure, if you listen to them. gas prices, according to the democrats are really low. the economy is just great. inflation is only a term being used by republicans to drive turnout. according to msdnc expert joy

reid. >> only people who use the word "inflation" are journalists and economists. that's not part of the normal lexicon of the way people talking. republicans don't use the common tongue, common english. they've taught the people the word "inflation." right? most people who never used that word in their lives are using it now because they've been taught it. >> sean: joy, with all due respect, americans know what inflation is, and guess what, because it's running their lives, caused by the democratic socialist party, draining their bank accounts, forcing them into credit card debt. so joy reid, walking poetic about the word "inflation" because i guess she could afford to. she probably gets paid millions of dollars to demean, slander republicans on ms dnc, not choosing between gas or food,

not living paycheck to paycheck, and 70% of the country is, and unfortunately top democrats obviously don't care. they probably don't even know that 2/3 of the country plus are living paycheck to paycheck. people are not making ends meet. they are totally detached and the media mob from reality. their agenda is radical. their policies are insane. their goals are naive and failing, and their candidates are just awful and extreme. but perhaps no one is worse than that pennsylvania trust fund brat in a hoody that tries to, you know, play it like he's a real hard-working blue collar worker. he's a trust fund brat in a hoody, pretends that he's a working man. it's basically a halloween costume all year-round every year. fetterman's never had a real job in his life until he became a part-time mayor of a small town of braddock, pennsylvania. and like many other democrats running this year, fetterman is a devout radical socialist. this guy will destroy

pennsylvania's economy with his moratorium on fracking. he wants to defund the police. he's the single biggest supporter of convicted murderers ever to run for the u.s. senate. he wants to empty all prisons in pennsylvania, nationalize private industry, punish job creators, something he wouldn't know about, because he's never had a job, make pennsylvania a sanctuary state, make you the taxpayers in pennsylvania, pay for free hurricane-safe injection sites. recently he suffered a debilitating stroke and is not qualified to serve for a variety of reasons, but according to the left, a vote for fetterman is, well, against fetterman is an act of violence against him. like what? now according to democrats you are voting to overthrow democracy, they'll a fascist,

enemies of the state. you want dirty air. dirty water, plotting and planning and scheming to take away social security and medicare, although not a single republican has ever said it. disruptive rhetoric causing political violence. they're totally ignoring gop house candidate pat harrigan joining us in a minute. his family home, take a look, that's a bullet hole, just shot up while his children were sleeping inside, but again democrats, the media mob, they're not covering the story, they don't seem to care. for them everything is only about narrative. if it doesn't fit their political agenda, if it doesn't fit that narrative, it doesn't exist, and they ignore it of course o. of course, the narrative doesn't fix inflation, bring down energy costs. it doesn't secure the southern border. it doesn't solve the real crime crisis in small towns and big cities across the country.

and it certainly doesn't bring any of us together. the democratic party has failed this country on a spectacular level. they have lied to our faces, and they need to be held accountable, and you can fire them next tuesday. here with the very latest from what we can expect on tuesday night, he's at the hemmer big board, our very own bill hemmer is there. bill, good to see you on this friday night. we'll be watching a lot of races. here's what i contend. tell me if you disagree with this. by the time all the votes are counted, between georgia -- i'm talking about the senate races -- north carolina, new hampshire, pennsylvania, ohio, wisconsin, arizona, nevada, probably less than a hundred thousand votes will determine the balance of power. >> like where we were in 2020. you might be right about that, sean. what i want to do for you -- >> tucker: we need you. >> -- and the audience tonight

is give you a primer about what you should look for when you tune in on tuesday night. i'm going to take you to the house, senate, and governor races, not the whole country, mostly eastern time zones. okay? in the house, we've been talking about this for a while, in the state of virginia, closes at 7:00, they count quickly. these are the three house districts that seem to be the most highly contested. if republicans are able to win in virginia, too, down here in norfolk, then they're off to a decent start on the evening. if they're able also to win in virginia and defeat abigail spanberger, running for a third term, south of washington, d.c., then you'll start asking yourself how big is it wave. if they're able to win in virginia 10, west of fairfax here, then you're going to be ask yourself, how many feet high is it. all right? before we go there, let's just

say the democrats hold on to these seats, and if that's the case, you'll be looking for other areas on the east coast. republicans are playing in districts this year that you would not expect. just going to give you a couple right here. when was the last time, sean, you talked about rhode island? this is the western half of rhode island that republicans really like their candidate. and the former mayor of cranston, they like him, running an interesting campaign, and they score a trick in rhode island, that would be quite a swing. connecticut, like when was the last time, sean, you talked about connecticut when it came to the republicans party. the western half here in connecticut, george logan, really good candidate, taking on a candidate that's had the seat for a number of years, they they're playing in that area as well. for the 7:00 closing time, 8:00 closing time, i would think about the five races that i just mentioned there to give you a sense of whether or not democrats are holding back

republicans or republicans are really getting momentum. the other thing is down here in florida. a ton of news tuesday night on florida. i want to take you forward one time here and show you what i -- what i think is important. this is congressional district 27. maria salazar is the republican. she lost in '18. won in 2020. she's trying to win re-election again. she's running down here in miami. a lot of cuban americans. a lot of democrats. she did it in 2020. if she's able to ride this early wave of voting, the early vote in florida, seems to suggest that republicans are doing really well so far. also you've got the big governors race. then i'll take you into the senate race here. watching salazar to see her margin from 2020, whether she's able to meet it or surpass it. that's an early indicator as well. on the senate, the obvious one, right here, it's pennsylvania, it's fetterman and oz.

could go late into the night. we may not know based on mail-in ballots. we may not know tuesday night. pennsylvania is a big one. new hampshire is out there. ohio with j.d. vance. georgia, this warnock-walker race. got to get to 50% to avoid a runoff december 6th. that's from hot, and close at 7:00 as well. one more area, the governor races, some good ones too. i would think about 9:00 closing time in new york, is lee zeldin really contending against hochul? if he is, there will be suspense for that, not just that, but house races we're tracking as well. you got two great races, can

brian kemp defeat stacey abrams for the second time in four years? that's t something we're watchig as well. ron desantis running against charlie crist. watch the margin on the outcome of this race. that will tell us a lot about this election neck tuesday. it might tell us a lot also about the next election in '24. sean, back to you. >> tucker: bill hemmer, great analysis. it's the hemmer board. nobody can do it like he can. bill hemmer have a great weekend. joining us, former speaker of the house, fox news contributor, newt gingrich. you've been steadfast in terms of predicting that this environment that republicans are now running in, the fact that democrats have nothing positive to run on, that they're now back to the old scare seniors, republicans are going to take

away your social security and medicare. to me that's a sign of desperation. let's walk through what you see, what you predict, what's going to happen on tuesday night. >> well, i think at a general level we'll be somewhere between plus three and plus five in the senate. the one which i think is hanging in the balance is a terrific candidate, tiffany smiley in washington state. washington state is a very tough state for us. i think we're going to win all the republican seats, which will include oz in pennsylvania, j.d. vance, and include people like marco rubio handily, and we'll keep the seat in north carolina and in wisconsin with ron johnson. then i think we're going to pick up new hampshire, as people go up and fill up their oil heating tanks for the winter, the price shock is enormous. hassan is a weak senator.

i think we'll pick up the seat in nevada. >> sean: and georgia? >> look, i'm an optimist. i think herschel walker will win without a runoff. i think that brian kemp that is done such a great job, put together such a powerful team that he's going to beat stacy by a big margin. in that process, he'll carry herschel above 50%. and frankly blake masters will win in arizona, where you have in kelly somebody who pretends to be a moderate, but in fact has consistently favored more irs agents over more border patrol, and people of arizona know it. so i think it's going to be a great night. on the house side, somewhere between plus 20 and plus 50. i personally think it will be about 44. and kevin mccarthy is the next speaker. >> sean: wow. that's a told prediction. when you think of all these races, a lot of them are either dead even in the polls, or a

one-point advantage, or two-point advantage. i'm talking about more specifically, i'll break it down, georgia, new hampshire, pennsylvania, nevada, and arizona in particular. those races seemed to be the toughest right now. i'd add tiffany smiley in washington state. when you see races that are that tight, how should people interpret that? because now you're talking about, you know, between all those races i just mentioned, you know, maybe 30,000, 40,000, 50,000 votes will determine the winner in all those races combined. >> well, it could be. we won with reagan, with won control of the senate when nobody expected it, and the total margin was amazingly small, but kept winning seats by 15,000, 20,000. two things to remember here. one is with all the vicious hateful language from biden and others, you suppress the republican willingness to talk to pollsters.

it's much harder to get an accurate read on republicans right now, because they frankly don't want to tell people what they're going to do. people will fill up their gas tank, go to the grocery store, watch the evening news, the normal weekend carnage in chicago, the murders in new york. i think by the time it's over, almost nobody who's currently undecided is going to decide to vote democrat. so you can take -- if the democrats below 51% or 52%, i personal believe they're probably gone. so you show me a 46%, 47% race, the democrat is ahead by one. no, that democrat at 47, probably behind 53-47, because i

think all the final votes are going to go against the democrats. >> sean: you know, i've learned over the many years, being the emcee the night you became speaker of the house, a night i'll never forget, and was honored to be a part of. you've never been wrong. you are almost always right. >> almost always. >> sean: am always. very consistently you give an objective analysis. speaker gingrich, thank you for being with us. ted cruz, along with a texas congressional candidate cassie garcia. cassie, welcome to you. good to see you. first of all, senator cruz, i got to give you credit, you and tim scott, in particular, have gone above and beyond. you've gone to 17 states. you've been campaigning all over the country, helping senate candidates, gubernatorial candidates, congressional candidates.

you've been pretty much helping everybody out. i got to give you credit for that. i think it's having an impact. what are you seeing when you're out there? >> well, thank you, sean. you're right, we've been in the midst of a month-long, 17-state bus tour. actually the last event on the national bus tour is in san antonio tonight, a rally for cassie garcia, blowing the doors out. it's closing out what we're seeing all across the country. it was interesting, i was listening to your interview with newt. he's always been brilliant. i got to say, it was remarkable, as i sat thereling, i agreed with every syllable of every word newt said to you. on my podcast verdict i went through in detail, seat by seat, all of the senate seats. i agree with newt. at the end of the day, we win the house and have between 30-50 seats we pick up in the house. in the senate, i think we're likely at 53 or 54 republican pickups.

i think we win nevada. i think we win georgia. i think we've got a very good shot at winning arizona and new hampshire. i agree with newt, that i think we hold on to all of the seats we're on defense, whether it's pennsylvania, ohio or wisconsin. and i also agree that we've got a shot at tiffany smiley in washington state. she's a great candidate in a tough state. we also have an outside shot in colorado. so at the end of the day i think we're headed to a wave election that is going to be a big step forward in changing the direction of the country. >> sean: cassie, what drove you into politics? both senator can you see and myself, if we spent five minutes with you before you made the decision, we would have probably talked you out of it. it's a rough and tumble business. there's a reason they call it a bloodsport. but having senator cruz's support is a big deal in your race. and all projections are you'll do well on election night.

what got you into this? >> look, i'm a life-long south texan and the wife of a border patrol agent. i don't like what i'm seeing in washington. the hispanic community is tired of the biden/pelosi agenda. henry coyer has been in office since i was in kindergarten. the border is broken, prices are out of control, and four out of nine counties in the district don't even have a doctor. we're sick and tired. not only that, he's under criminal investigation for corruption. people are sick and tired, and it's time for a change. people are ready for a new voice in washington, d.c. i have the honor and privilege of working alongside senator cruz for the past eight years. people are ready. we're seeing the momentum on the ground right now. i predict we'll see a red wave in south texas. >> sean: we're going to be watching the race very closely. senator cruz, honestly, i want people to know how hard you've been working. 17 states, on a bus, every day,

away from your family. you didn't have to do it. you did. people like you and senator tim scott have gone above and beyond. thank you for what you do. we appreciate you being with us. coming up, with four days to go, polls couldn't be tighter. we'll break down the latest numbers. our pollsters got recognition today. we'll tell you about that straight ahead.

>> welcome to fox news live in los angeles. a severe storm system is impacting 40 million people as it moves through the central u.s. tonight. the powerful thunderstorms are producing damaging winds, large hail, and even tornadoes. the violent winds damaging several mobile homes near the texas/oklahoma state line, and

even flipped a tractor-trailer in durant, oklahoma. tens of thousands of homes are also without power. meanwhile house speaker nancy pelosi making her first public remarks since her husband was violently attacked in their san francisco home late last week. pelosi spoke out about her husband's recovery, and thanked well-wishers. >> it's going to be a long haul, but he will be well. it's just so tragic how it happened. nonetheless, we have to be optimistic. he's surrounded by family, so that's a wonderful thing. >> paul pelosi suffered a fractured skull and other injuries when the intruder hit him with a hammer. when asked what would make her feel better, pelosi said simply vote. the suspect who pleaded not guilty is being held on suspicious of attempted murder and other charges. a trump ally was acquitted earlier today on foreign agent charges. trump's inaugural committee chair had been accused of using

his personal access to the former president to secretly promote the interests of the united arab emirates. the brooklyn jury found him not guilty of acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government, obstruction of justice and making false statements. and the powerball jackpot reaching $1.6 billion ahead of tomorrow night's drawing. the largest in history. nobody has won for three months. i'm jeff paul. back to "hannity." >> sean: only four days away from tuesday's election day in america, and the polls are tightening in races across the country. new polls released show that dr. oz has a two-point lead over the trust fund brat in a hoody, john fetterman. arizona gubernatorial candidate

kari lake has a three-point lead over the democrat katie hobbs. georgia senate candidate herschel walker with a three-point lead over raphael warnock. and surprising results in blue states. look at new hampshire senate candidate, leading senator hasson by more than a point. in new york, republican lee zeldin holds a slim lead over kathy hochul. meanwhile smiley is in a statistical tie with patty murray in washington. the chief pollster at the trafalgar group joins us. you better be right on tuesday,

because if not, they might take it back. polling is a hard thing to do. let's look at the senate. robert, we'll go through real quick, both of you, and we'll start with georgia. robert, who's going to win georgia in the senate? >> herschel. >> sean: matt? >> i think it could be a runoff, but i think walker is the favorite either way. >> okay. let's go to north carolina. ted bud. matt? >> bud. >> what do you think, robert? >> bud. not even close. >> sean: bolduc in new hampshire. robert? >> barely, but bolled. >> what do you think, matt? >> a toss-up right now. i don't have an answer, but bolduc. >> sean: let's look at pennsylvania and os. matt, who's going to win that race? >> well, based on the polling, oz should win, but pennsylvania

is a weird place in terms of how they count their ballots and the like. i have to hold my breath and say it's a toss-up. >> sean: wow. robert, what do you think? >> i think oz gets the most votes. >> sean: oh, boy. that's a loaded -- that's a loaded term you just threw out there. in the end, do you think oz wins this? robert. >> i think whether he wins is like matt said, it's a toss-up. >> sean: all right. let's look at j.d. vance in ohio. thoughts, robert? >> vance. not close. >> matt? >> yeah. same. >> sean: ron johnson in wisconsin. matt? >> yeah. he's got it. >> sean: what do you think, robert? >> i think he wins, but because he's an incumbent he might -- he might be a little under what the

polling says. >> sean: okay. nevada. matt? >> that one i believe is going to be one of the two seats that will probably cause republicans to secure the senate. i think he wins. >> sean: okay. robert, do you agree? >> definitely. >> sean: what do you think about arizona, blake masters, robert? >> i feel masters with the libertarian getting out, he has an advantage now, and he'll close the gap. i think he wins it, but by a hair. >> sean: what do you think, matt? >> i basically agree. i think kari lake is running so strong that's going to help push him over the edge. >> sean: let's look at three gubernatorial raise. new york, michigan, new york, arizona. who wins those three races, matt? >> kari lake is going to win in arizona based on the polling we've been doing for the fox

affiliate there. michigan will be a tight race to the end. i'm not even going to talk about new york, because robert is the man who discovered there was a close race there in the first place. i'll toss that to him. >> sean: you're punting on that one. i love how you guys punt back and forth. robert, what's your take on the three? >> first of all, i think kari lake is -- is the new superstar of the republican party. i think she's going to win. she's going to impress people by how well she wins. i think michigan is a toss-up. it's more about what the turnout for opposition to ballot initiative 3 does. that's going to drive that race more than any other factor. new york, i think it is very, very close, but could go either way. it's going to be about crime, but it's just a matter of -- it's going to be a toss-up. >> sean: thank you both. congratulations also to both of you. the highest rankings on real

clear politics in terms of pollsters in america. appreciate you being with us. when we come back, jim jordan outlines a new bombshell report on the fbi and doj. how the fbi has been politicized and the doj weaponized. this is going to be investigated if republicans win back the house on tuesday. also tonight, a shocking attack last night on a republican congressional candidate's parents' house. they shot a bullet in through the window. the kids were inside. that candidate, pat harrington, will tell us the story straight ahead.

>> sean: this morning house republicans did release a report, totaling more than 1,000 pages detailing the disturbing -- we've been talking about this a long time -- how

the fbi has been politicized and the department of justice weaponized. now this under attorney general merrick garland. the fbi under director christopher wray. in the report, house republicans assert that the fbi, quote, is broken, but stated that the problem is not with the frontline agents, the rank-and-file, but rather the politicized bureaucracy. joining us now to outline the report's findings, house judiciary committee ranking member jim jordan. if i'm a democrat, this election season, look deeply into this report, the things we've talked about, going back to the russia hoax, we now know early october that the fbi went to christopher steele, offered him a million dollars to prove his dossier was true. he couldn't do it. by the end of october 2016 they used it anyway i i in a fisa application. in january 2017, the main source

says it's not true, it's all bar talk. what do they do? they put him on the payroll. i'm worried about how the fbi is politicized, and the doj is weaponized. how real will this investigation get? >> as real as it can be, as aggressive as we can possibly be, sean, because it's warranted, and we outline it in the report. we say this in the report, what the whistleblowers told us. the fbi is broken, the washington field office is broken. one whistleblower distributed it as rotted to its core. one of the key things that came out recently from one of the most recent whistleblower is this unbelievable relationship between big tech and the fbi, where they were working together, and facebook, one whistleblower says he believes facebook was just giving user information to the justice department, to the anybody, without the users knowing that. so, i mean, you talk about frightening stuff. yeah, this is why we put it in a report, and this is -- this is

chronicling everything we've been talking about for the last year, and frankly for longer than you talked about, clear back to when they spied on president trump's campaign. we're committed to doing the investigation, to exposing it all, getting the truth to the american people, and beginning to hold people accountable. >> sean: what did you think when merrick garland came out -- i thought we had whistleblower protection laws in this country, but after it was revealed there were anywhere between 20 and 30 fbi whistleblowers, doj whistleblowers, merrick garland reminded people in the doj that they are not allowed to talk to people like you or senator grassley or senator johnson. was that reminder an attempt at intimidation, to silence them? >> yeah. it's all part of the left's plan to chill people's feet. the same thing joe biden did the other night, the same reason that the trafalgar group,

republicans are reluctant to participate in polls, all designed to chill speech, a fundamental attack on the first amendment. it's wrong. by the way, merrick garland did that, if you remember, sean, the day after you talked about this issue on your show. the next day, shazam, here comes merrick garland, saying here's how you're supposed to operate, people in the justice department, if you're going to talk to congress. i found that more than coincidental, yeah, this is all designed to chill speech. it's so scary when you think about what they've been up to. think about the last two months, sean. they raided the home of a former president, took the phone of a sitting member of congress, and kicked in the door of a pro-life activist outside of philadelphia, arrested him in front of his wife and seven children for something the local judge says wasn't a problem, wasn't a crime. that's what the fbi has been up to. that's all designed to chill speech and keep us quiet as well. we're not going to be quiet. we're going to do the investigation that our duty requires we do, our constitutional oath requires us to do, to get the truth to the american people.

>> sean: jim jordan, thank you for being with us. stay tuned. things will change in washington in a major way if republicans win on tuesday. now turning to the state of north carolina, where last night the home of republican congressional candidate pat harrigan's parents' home was shot at, with children inside. you can see the bullet hole. the fbi is investigating the incident. and harrigan's democratic opponent, jeff jackson, has reportedly pulled his advertising off the air because his most recent tv ad included pictures of one of harrigan's homes. we reached out to the campaign for comment. we were told that, well, jackson condemns violence, and that the house attack last night does not appear in any of his ads. now while pat harrigan is partially blaming his jackson rhetoric for the attack, he says, quote, a bullet and death threats aren't enough to knock this green beret off his mission to save this country. here now with more is north carolina republican

congressional candidate pat harrigan. first i'm sorry what happened. it's got to be pretty scary as a parent to have this happen to you. >> sean, thanks for having me tonight. thanks for your concern. i think the important thing is everybody is doing all right. and we're moving forward out here in north carolina. >> sean: so we had the general, the guy who tried to attack him before a debate earlier this week. we've had your attack. we've had numerous other attacks. lee zeldin on two occasions. one guy came at him with a knife. there was a shootout on the front lawn of his house, apparently a gang-related shootout. all we hear from the democrats in the media is that republican rhetoric is responsible for what happened to paul pelosi. nobody that i know supports to kind of violence. as a matter of fact, i think the speaker, as speaker, in line to be president if god forbid something happens, i would argue needs secret service protection.

>> yeah. i don't think you're wrong, sean. i can tell you from the perspective of being a candidate over here, you know, we're on our own when we face this stuff. you know, we're not sitting congressman, congresswoman, dealing with all of this, and that have a -- you know, the potential of having a protective detail. we've got to take care of ourselves. i tell you what, you highlighted this exactly. we are facing this problem all across the country. it's completely unconscionable and unnecessary and unproductive for the future of the united states of america to conduct our politics with such demonizing rhetoric that we force the extremes of our nation to take action against politicians who are just trying to serve the people of the united states and their constituents. it's ridiculous. >> sean: i'm sad that's happened to you. i don't want it to happen to anybody. this transcends political leaningings or partisanships in

anyway. you're doing well there. we want to see ted bud win in north carolina. thanks for being with us. my best to your family. coming up, more bizarre details and confusion around the paul pelosi hammer attack. it is getting bizarre. nbc news now reported new details about the incident. then they abruptly deleted the story from their website. we will explain straight ahead.

>> sean: this morning nbc news aired a strange piece about paul pelosi and the hammer attack. take a look at this andlin listn closely. >> sources familiar with what

unfolded in the pelosi residence now revealing when officers responded to the high priority call they were seemingly unaware they'd been called to the home of the speaker of the house, after a knock and announce, the front door was opened by mr. pelosi. the 82-year-old did not immediately declare an emergency or try to leave his home, but instead began walking several feet back into the foyer, toward the assailant, and away from police. it's unclear if the 82-year-old was already injured, or what his mental state was, say sources. >> sean: nbc news has removed the report from their website and social media platforms. they're now saying it doesn't meet their editorial standards. we did reach out to nbc for further comment. we did not hear back. hear here with reaction, this is odd, up until this point, i assumed this was an attack, this was real, and i just wish that

paul pelosi get well. i don't want anybody attacked. i also think that a speaker, because, you know, after the vice president, they're next in line to be president, if something happens to a sitting president, to take that job. so i think a speaker should have secret service protection. my question is, if this is true, that he just opened the door nonchalantly, then walks into the hall where this guy with a hammer is, and the police witnessed the assault at that time, that would be the strangest reaction that i could ever think of anybody that just got attacked, or you have an intruder in your home with a hammer, most people would say, "go get him, he's in there," and run out the door. >> i think you're exactly right, sean. you can start by saying let's take this outside of the paul pelosi situation and just say, if you're in your home right now, in the middle of the night, and somebody is an intruder, and

the police are there, and you are fortunate enough to be able to open the door, and you see the police there, 99 president 99% of people are immediately haven't e running out of the house, getting behind the police, and saying thank you for being here, go get the guy who's the intruder in my home right now. that's not what happened. and, sean, the analogy that i would also draw here, remember when the shadowing happened at uvalde, the initial report that came out, virtually everything that the police told us, everything that the authorities in that situation told us, ended up not being true. this is starting to sound just straight up weird, as if there are many details we are not being shared. so that's why i would say, why can't the san francisco police just release the body cam footage from their officers, so everybody can see exactly what happened, what the interaction was like, and what details

surrounded this incident so we don't have to speculate as to what or what or what may not have happened. >> sean: joe, i agree completely with clay. let's release the body cam footage. there's also surveillance cameras on site, and there's video of the incident, of the guy breaking in, people that were to monitor the cameras didn't do it. why don't we release all of that video and let the american people decide? >> and that's the biggest question here, right? if you want to remove all ambiguity around this story, he said, he said, speculation, sources. no, just simply release the body cam footage from the police officers there on the scene. why isn't that happening? these are questions other media outlets should be asking, by the way, instead of pointing fingers, making it a political story. "the washington post" ran a story saying if you're a member of the media, or you're a clay travis or joe concha ask for the

body cam footage to be released, you're a conspiracy theorist. how is that possible? this solves many problems when we have a situation where we don't know exactly what happened. by the way, i'm sorry, i want to get this in, paul pelosi shouldn't have been at home when this happened. he should be in jail, because i'm absolutely certain if i or clay or you, or anybody not married to the speaker of the house, decided to go out one night, get hammered, then get behind the wheel of a porsche, crash into another car, that would absolutely result in my arrest and a decent amount of jail time, sean. that didn't happen. that's why i can't give paul pelosi or the narrative here the benefit of the doubt, given the way that drunk driving story was handled, where there's a bunch of ambiguity around that for weeks as well. >> sean: straight ahead, more "hannity" right after this.
