6:00 pm
faith all the time throughout the day and i have to toll you, the lord said there would be no one before him, and i just think that if you cover and emerse in something that isn't even penetratable it's not going to set us in the right direction but that's just me. >> the fantasy >> harris: raymond reality check i think we make it a thing. good to see you. thank you. have a great evening. sean hannity is now >> sean: all right harris always great to see you, great job as always and thank you. and welcome to hannity. tonight espn host steven a smith does not want biden to serve a second term. quote, i just don't believe somebody in their 80s should be running the country. anyway steven a supports the merger between the pga and live golf that is extremely contention and controversial. we'll talk about that and also get reaction to new york city's brand new attraction. look at that new york post. it is a free crack pipe vending
6:01 pm
machine according to their report. and the 2024 gop field got even bigger. both former vice-president mike pence and the very unpopular former new jersey governor chris christie. i think he left office with about a 14% approval rating in his case now entered the race. we have full analysis of all this straight ahead tonight but we begin with this fox news alert. sources have now confirmed to fox that the doj's special counsel investing former president trump's taking of classified documents has now convened a second grand jury, this one not in dc but in south florida. that would be the same district where mar-a-lago is. and based on what we are hearing, the special counsel is now poiseded to wrap up that probe and there are many reports that charges could, in fact, be eminent. at the very same time, we are learning that an indictment against hunter biden could also be forthcoming, but don't expect hunter's charges to implicate
6:02 pm
the big guy. this will be all about optics, not about justice as president trump truthed out earlier today. they'll hit hunter with something small to make their strike on me look fair. i would expect that to probably in all likelihood happen. make no mistake it's all one big political game for biden' doj and of course the allegations against hunter are significant, but only because they implicate his father, the president. then vice-president. and a possible bribery scheme. money in exchange for specific acts, for example. i don't think most people really care about the sorted private life of a notorious loser former crack head prostitute-loving hunter biden. we do care about public corruption and there is a mountain of evidence that is emerging that joe biden could be corrupt to the core and has been for some time. now, exhibit a is hunter biden's
6:03 pm
very own lap to be that has been in the fbi's possession as we've been telling you since 2019, december of 2019. john solomon says the contents of that laptop were verified and authenticated by the fbi a short time later, and those contents are damming. a text showing hunter complaining about having to fork over half of his earnings to his father, to pops. one e-mail revealing hunter even paid his father's bills and upkeep on his mansion. another e-mail discussing a potential 10% payout to quote the big guy. we were told who the big guy was, in that regards a business deal in china. but according to joe, he's never, ever, not one single time ever discussed his son's foreign business dealings ever. listen. >> mr. vice-president, how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings? >> he have' never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings. i have never discussed with my
6:04 pm
son or my brother or anyone else anything havinging to do with their businesses, period. and what i will do is the same thing we did in our administration. there will be an absolute wall between personal and private and the government. >> do you stand by your statement that you did not discuss any of your son's overseas business. >> yes, i stand by that statement. >> sean: joe biden was lying then and he's lying now and he lied over and over again. biden personally met with at least 14 of hunter's business associates. he's pictured here with hunter's csaic business partners and here he is with the mexican associates and here he is with devon ar char who served on the board of burisma with his son hunter. and during joe's time at vice-president, while hunter biden's business associates visited the white house over 80 times. the very same time period that a confidential human source told the fbi that biden was taking
6:05 pm
foreign bribes in exchange for specific policy decisions and actions. this was not just any confidential human source, by the way. according to a brand new report out tonight from john solomon, this source was so trusted and so valuable that the fbi previously paid the source $200,000 for his information. take a look. >> the source who formed the basis of of the 1023 is a long-serving fbi source. the source reportedly received numerous validations from the fbi. the source reportedly operated even during the obama administration. the fbi source in the 1023 has been paid at least $200,000 by the fbi since the source was opened and operational. >> sean: it seems like that source was highly valued.
6:06 pm
now, according to the allegations, this purported foreign bribery scheme took place in ukraine where hunter biden was raking in a fortune on the board of burisma, the ukrainian oil and gas giant and of course admitted in good morning america he had no experience in energy at all, no experience in ukraine. remember biden held a billion u.s. taxpayer dollars and said you have six hours to fire that prosecutor and son of a b they did it. that's the same prosecutor we now know was investing burisma and his own son for corruption. here's chairman comer with much more. take a look. >> this form 1023 involves a business person from ukraine who allegedly sent a bribe, substantial bribe, to then vice-president joe biden. >> sean: just to recap, we have allegations of a bribery scandal from a confidential human source
6:07 pm
that the fbi apparently believed is credible. we have e-mails and texts from hunter biden's laptop. we now have bank records and all these suspicious activity reports and the paper trail of showing the transfer of foreign money through shell corporations. in other words they were llcs, they weren't designed to make any business profitable. but, anyway, those llcs were used to funnel money to various members of the biden family, according to comer, including the big guy himself. now, we also have photographs of biden meeting with his son's foreign business associates, and we have joe biden on tape lying about the meetings. so the question for you, christopher wray, you're the fbi director, you swore you'd clean up this, you know, once the premier law enforcement agency in the world, no longer, sadly, for you and for, you know, are you blind? and merrick garland, you're okay with all of this? this doesn't in any way raise any questions in your mind? you condone this behavior? at best hunter was likely
6:08 pm
lobbying his father on behalf of foreign clients, at worst he was collecting brides in exchange for specific policy decisions as alleged by the fbi source. now, but did hunter even register as a foreign agent? will he be charged with any fara violations like say paul manafort or will he skate by with a couple gun charges and a couple tax charges just to keep a degree of spr separation betw hunter and joe and acted like they are fair as they go forward with any plans they might have to indict donald trump which, by the way, i think we all know the answer. joe biden will be protected the at all costs, especially by this fbi and this doj, all while his political opponent donald trump will be persecuted around every term. here now with more editor in chief of just the news.com john solomon. let's get your take on all this john. >> yeah, listen i think the most
6:09 pm
significant think that congressman comer, chairman comer said in the interview with me today said the allegations the fbi got date to 2017, the first time the confidential human informant, by the way so credible he got $200,000 in payments, the fbi does not pay a lot of informants that kind of money, but credible that kind of money that he brought it to the fbi in 2017, then again in 18, 19 and then again in the summer of 2020. what does that mean? when we were going through the impeachment crisis with president trump going through the russian disinformation debacle. the fbi harbored the treatment that there was a confidential human source making an allegation that joe biden had a bribery problem with the ukraine businessman the same country where hunter biden was doing business and the american public were asking all those questions. stunning to think the fbi might have harbored that secret all this time. >> sean: pretty interesting. now the fbi does pay people, we know that.
6:10 pm
didn't they offer christopher steele a million dollars if he could corroborate any part of his own dossier. >> they did. >> sean: he couldn't collect because he couldn't corroborate? >> that's right. >> sean: didn't he then hire the sub source of countries steele a guy named danchenko and put him on the payroll, too. >> yes. >> sean: and didn't they pay twitter in the lead-up to the election when they were pre bunking the hunter biden laptop story did they do that too. >> the payments are unclear whether they were for the pre bunking or other things twitter did at the fbi behest but you're laying out this large ecosystem where could be servetives are being smeared and the fbi shows up in the middle of it but when it comes to hunter biden they're on the opposite side. can't talk about it, can't show you the memo. very different system of justice when it comes to joe biden versus sdwrument john solomon editor and chief, just the news.com, thank you >> to make matters even worse,
6:11 pm
similar to trump, joe biden is now under investigation for his mishandling of documents for decades. biden left a trail of classified material in multiple locations including multiple private offices in a cardboard box in his garage. but as far as we know, the doj has not even convened a grand jury against joe. that case appears to be going nowhere. now, here with reaction to all of this is author of the best-seller trial of the century fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett also best selling author of get trump harvard law professor allen dershowitz. professor, if this is true, in other words, that this indictment is coming, i'm going to bet every dollar that i have that this is not going to be an indictment about classified material. because the immediate comparisons will be about hillary clinton and the july 2016 press conference of jim comey. and he said no reasonable
6:12 pm
prosecutor would prosecute and she did have classified top secret information. we have no doubt joe biden had it at four separate locations as i recall, so make that comparison. so it seems to me that it won't be about classified documents, which means that, in the process of investing this, some process crime probably came up in their minds and they went forward with that. that's my guess. you're the legal professor, i'm not. >> you're a great guesser. a plus. in my book get trump i say exactly that, that they would not go after him on the possession of classified material but they would try to concoct some process scrim obstruction of justice. but let's remember that citizens of the united states are not obliged to cooperate with investigations that are designed to "get them". they can do everything in their power through their lawyers to obstruct, that is to plead the fifth amendment torques plead this privilege, that privilege, to make a motion to suppress
6:13 pm
material. they cannot, however, cross the line from legal obstruction to illegal obstruction. now, that line is very vague. it talk about corrupt intent. and it's so easy for a partisan prosecutor to say that legitimate sixth, fourthth, fifth amendment defenses that are supposed to be raised by defendants have morphed into illegal obstruction of justice. . sounds to me like it may be another bragg indictment, another indictment that doesn't pass the shoe on the other foot test. that would never, never be directed against a political friend but only a political enemy. and it really endangers our system of justice, which is supposed to be politically neutral, not politically motivated. so i fear for our system of law enforcement. i fear for it as a liberal democrat who voted against president trump. i don't care about politics.
6:14 pm
i care about the constitution, and that's being violated. >> sean: so we can't get you on the crime that we think that you're guilty of, gregg jarrett, but we're going to go after the fact that you might have obstructed in our investigation. let me ask you a question, when hillary clinton deleted 33,000 e-mails will bleach bit then removed sim cards and then had black berries and iphones destroyed with hammers, wouldn't that be the very definition of obstruction to you? they were subpoenaed. >> oh, it's absolutely obstruction, yeah, sure, it's obstruction of justice and she skated thanks to james comey. but this is a consistent pattern. the left has weaponized the legal system, and their current avatar is merrick garland, you know, scorned as a supreme court justice, he launches a vengeance campaign against donald trump, whom he blames. you know, i think garland is the most partisan attorney general in history, who corrupted the
6:15 pm
biden doj and the fbi, selective prosecution to punish political enemies but he runs a protection racket for joe biden and his son. you know, garland has taken a dispute over documents that's governed exclusively by a civil statute, the presidential records act and garland has decided i'm going to criminalize it by contorting the law but then discovers oh, gee, joe biden, my boss did the same thing. okay, now i'm going to shift to obstruction claiming that trump wasn't cooperative. the professor is absolutely right. he doesn't have to be cooperative under the law, especially, sean, since it was the stated opinion of the doj that a former president can take whatever he wants under the records act for ten years. that was the standard endorsed by a federal judge in washington. but garland abandoned it because it's donald trump. his problem is that, obstruction
6:16 pm
requires a corrupt purpose. testimony supreme court has defined that, immoral depraved or evil intent. well, where the hell is that evidence? i mean if trump honestly believed he was entitled to the documents under the act, there is no corrupt purpose, no obstruction. >> sean: and if we look at -- >> i agree. >> sean: professor, if we look at, you know, the possible or pending indictment of hunter on issues involving taxes and lying on a gun application, that is a far crime from what is being alleged isn't it. >> yeah. >> sean: and that is whether or not -- go ahead. whether or not there was pay to play or -- go ahead. >> that's clearly correct. there certainly is, today, enough probable cause so that if there were republican attorneys general who were as political as this justice department, there would certainly be an investigation based on probable cause of deep corruption by
6:17 pm
hunter biden. now, whether it involves his father or not is an investigative matter. you don't believe sources to prosecute, you believe them to open an investigation. and there should be an investigation. there's enough smoke there to justify the belief that there could be fire. but let's not jump to conclusions either way. i don't believe in weaponizing the justice system, either against republicans or democrats. but there --. >> sean: i'm not for weaponization either professor. i want equal justice, i want equal application, and i don't see that here. >> i agree with you. i agree with you. >> sean: yeah. gregg, i'll give you the last word on this. what they're talking about involving hunter is the low-hanging fruit. these were the easy -- >> oh, yeah. >> sean: -- indictments they could have had two years ago but they didn't go there. and now maybe, do they use, you know, low-hanging fruit for hunter to kind of mitigate the fact that they're going after donald trump, the leading republican candidate for the
6:18 pm
presidency? >> yeah. i mean, that's the inexorable conclusion from any reasonably person who's been somewhat attention. a five-year long investigation and no criminal charges? you know, there is political protection and partisan influence being exerted here, i think, by the fbi as well as the department of justice. if hunter biden is charged at all, and i am skeptical, it will be relatively minor and it will ignore his larger suspected influence peddling schemes that implicate joe biden as complicit. you outlined some of it in your monologue, just look at the laptop documents that incriminate joe biden as an active participant as well as a beneficiary. but as i said before, they are both protected while trump is targeted. >> sean: all right, gregg jar
6:19 pm
oats, professor. >> i agree. >> sean: i have to roll, though. we'll have you back, i promise >> anyway, thank you both. so how will the doj's never ending anti-trump witch hunt impact the republican primary especially now that the gop field is growing with former trump vice-president mike pence jumping in, trump hater chris christie jumping in the race. former arkansas governor mike huckabee and former trump communications and form pens press secretary mark lowder. i think you have two different cases here mike we'll go to you tonight and start with you see and that is, mike pence was the vp. in the case of chris christie he left office with i believe a 14% approval rating and he seems to have indicated he only wants to run for one reason and that's to bludgeon trump. not a particularly inspiring campaign slogan. >> no, not at all. and, you know, look, this is a
6:20 pm
one-man race for the gop nomination and if you're anyone not named trump, desantis has got a huge mountain to climb, all of the other candidates have a mount everest to climb and if i'm one of the other campaigns i'm hoping chris christie throws hay makers and say things i don't want to say so you can close the gap but the only thing i think of when i hear chris christie, i think of that beach picture and you just can't unsee it. >> sean: you can't unsee it like you can't unsee the obama hug during the romney race, and you really can't forget about bridge gate, although obviously that case i believe was tossed out in the end on appeal. governor do you see any of these candidates making head way here and what impact do you think, if this in fact happens and there's an indictment on what we believe would be a process crime, does that impact donald trump's popularity with the republican party and maybe the country at
6:21 pm
large? >> yeah. i think his popularity goes up and his numbers go up. people see what's going on. people aren't stupid. and they clearly understand that this is an attempt to destroy donald trump on a personal level so they don't have to deal with him politically. and i feel that they're making a huge mistake. everything they've done so far has backfired. it's almost like watching a road runner cartoon and wily coyote continues to use some acme dynamite just not working. i want to agree with my friend mark lowder who nails it. chris christie is in this not because he has a vision for president and i think many other candidates do and they're good people but chris christie is a bitter old guy who is angry at donald trump. here's the provenlt chris christie can't get over one thing that will destroy him and that's christopher wray. people need to remember that it was chris christie who urged
6:22 pm
donald trump to put in wray as fbi director and we know how that's turned out. so if there's any reason we can't trust chris christie's judgment and would not want him in the white house, just remember christopher ray. that's all im --- >> sean: let me ask you this, mike i'll give you the first shot at it. if you're donald trump he's indicated he probably won't be advised in primary debates. if you were advising him would you tell him to take part in them or not? >> at he not going to help jimenezly because he's 30 points ahead he can pretty much do what he wants to do but it won't hurt him either. one thing i think everybody saw in 2016, he can go on that stage with everybody who's had years of debate experience and he wipes the floor because he's just free wheeling enough that he's not a candidate that goes out there with all his note cards indelably imprint order the back of his head he goes in there and free wheels and basically wipes every person off that stage. it won't hurt him but i think he
6:23 pm
probably can create his own venues and not have to go. look, i think the debates are a joke. i think they're game show. i don't think that they have any validity anymore. it's all about. >> sean: i think they're bad, a lot are bad. >> the anchors -- no, they're horrible. i beg the rnc, went to a chicago meeting and said take these things away from the networks, don't let them control it. let the candidates run the debates. let them p speak their mind and give them a certain amount of time everybody gets exactly the same. i think it would be a good process. >> sean: mark real quick smart or not smart until he debates. >> i would wait until it thins down a little bit and get down to a few candidates so they're not all piling up on you. >> sean: good advice. thank you both. when we come back stephen a smith the one and only has a message for democrats in 2024 and we get his reaction to the landmark pga merger with liv golf, that's straight ahead when we continue.
6:24 pm
6:25 pm
6:26 pm
6:27 pm
6:28 pm
>> sean: big news out of the sports world tonight tpga tour announced a merger with the rival liv golf tour funded by the saudi sovereign fund. liv golf has been luring some of the world's best golfers from the pga with extremely luketive contracts. news of that merger came as a surprise to many but not former president donald trump, he actually predicteded that this would happen about 11 months ago. and for his part, president biden had no comment on the deal other than a joke about joining the pga tour himself. now, i would tell joe you might want to keep your day job because you like to sleep a lot. i don't really want that either. amid biden's mental and physical struggles there are now growing calls for him to step aside.
6:29 pm
our friend stephen a smith, host of the stephen a smith show podcast, of which i have been a ghost, is here for -- is the latest to call for change at the white house. he joins us right now. sir, how are you? >> sean nice to see you you got a good hair cut, too. >> sean: thank you. i appreciate you noticing. i will say this, when i read somebody else, a my hire at espn is being paid more than you? no. that -- no. are you the star at espn. you get paid more, period. >> i'm not going to say anything. >> sean: what's that? >> i've been treated very well and my time will come again i'll be treated well again. i am not concerned, don't worry about me. >> sean: just know where i stand i want you to know i'm on your side i want you to be the highest paid. >> i'm treated well. i was at the time and i will be again. >> sean: you will, that's true, i have no doubt. i know you well. all right, so biden's too old, too checked out i get it but my
6:30 pm
staff tolls me you're friends with chris christie. you don't want him for president do you? >> i would rather have him as president than donald trump i will say that t i understand he has a gladtorial attitude and he's ready to combat. we know what he did to marco rubio in 2016 in the primaries we get all that. i think he's a guy that is not walking around preaching about rigged elections and all this other stuff. he's the country forward. i don't know if he will win, i know donald trump has him beat by a mile at this particular moment in time but in the same breath i don't think he's going to be pushed around by the former president and chris christie knows what he's talking about highly intelligent and accomplished. i don't know but we'll see. >> sean: if he's so intelligent why did he leave office with a 14% approval rating. we all remember bridge gate although that ended up being overruled on appeal, but then there he is sitting on a beach that he closed himself, one rule
6:31 pm
for him, one rule for the rest of the people in new jersey. >> well, wait a minute. >> sean: what? >> first of all that's something that i'm supposed to be bringing up. surprised you're bringing that up as a conservative and republican candidate. >> sean: i don't think he's a conservative. >> i'm not trying to campaign for chris christie or anything. listen, the bottom line is he's certainly not a liberal. the bottom line is this. when you look at him and i think that, you know, he's competent and more importantly he's going to be talking about issues as opposed to having us distracted with a whole bunch of nonsense that we don't need to be distracted with as a country. that's all i'm saying. whether he wins, i know it's a very long shot, but i tell you this much i'd vote for him before i had a vote for any of the democratic candidates i've seen. that's not the same when it comes to desantis or trump but when it comes to him i know what position i'd take i'm a registered independent and that's how i feel about it. >> sean: why is it you see it, i see it, the world sees it, that is joe biden is, you know, weak,
6:32 pm
frail and cognitively he's out to lunch. why can't democrats just admit that simple truth? >> well, because he's the candidate, number one, that they deem capable of beating donald trump, which he's already proven, whether people want to admit that or not that's number one. number two i'm not going to label our president in those derogatory fashions i will say that. >> sean: i'm not asking for derogatory comments. do you think -- >> i didn't say you were. >> sean: do you think he's a cognitive mess. >> i'm not going to say -- i'm not going there. i'm saying there's an abundance of people that can do better and i hate the fact in 2023 we have a bunch of liberal candidates out there that think he's the guy and i'm like what the hell is wrong with you. >> sean: you are known for being straightforward blunt truthful and honest. >> i am. >> sean: and you can't speak the obvious that joe biden's a cognitive mess? of course he's a cognitive mess. >> i'm not going to label --
6:33 pm
excuse me. i'm not going to label it that way, sean. what i'm going to tell you is this, i'm looking at him and i don't like what i see, i'm not impressed with what i see and i'm very concerned with what i've seen and the fact that he's going to be 82 years of age at election time if he were to win and would be in the white house until he's 86 years old, i think in the year 2023 it is utterly embarrassing that the liberal side has him as their best candidate. what does it say about you when that is the best candidate that you can give the left. that is ridiculous. that's not a knock against joe biden, move than it is an indictment against the democrat he can party. >> sean: it took a little push now i got stephen a coming out of his shell. i was waiting for that. now let me move on to liv golf. i'm going to tell you something, and i don't like to speak, you know, in generalities, but broadly speaking as a country i
6:34 pm
have found the saudis to be dishonest and dismiss is the and a fair weather friend to america. and when it's in their best interest to align with china, as they're currently doing, they do it. i don't like this at all. i think the pga gave in because they thought they were going to lose and there was too much money on the table. thoughts? >> well, that's exactly what happened. the fact of the matter, as far as i'm concern, they came to their senses, even though jay monahan the pga commissioner said one thing months ago and completely reversed course now i'm going to applaud him for it as i did this morning on first take on espn. here's the reality of the situation. the united states government does business with saudi arabia for billions of dollars. there's a $9 billion surplus for the government in 2019. they did over $138 billion in sales and goods with saudi arabia in the year 2019. the reality is, is that if the
6:35 pm
government of the united states can do business with saudi arabia, what on earth is wrong with individual golfers doing business with saudi arabia? we've got to be consistent as a nation. which is one of the things that i completely -- i repeatedly argue with you about all the time, about consistency in terms of our society. if you have a problem with golfers, then have a problem with our government. if you don't have a problem with our government doing business, what on earth are you bothering golfers for? whether it's phil mickelson dustin johnson or whoever. if they were treated right by the pga, they want an alternative. >> sean: what happened in world war ii didn't the us align for a time with the former soviet union to beat nazi germany. that was an alliance of convenience we didn't like each other, if patten had his way he would have gone right into the soviet union at that time but we only have a second we have to roll. >> can i retort to that? >> sean: real quick. >> let me ask you what happened
6:36 pm
to the american way and capitalism. the fact of the matter is the pga was a monopoly. liv golf came along because the pga presumably wasn't treating the golfers right they made their case. liv golf comes around threw $2 billion in the pot and all of a sudden the pga came to their consensus and collaborate wind liv golf. >> sean: in our country we have more energy resources than they do and we're stupid enough to make it domestically and we're making them and venezuela rich. >> okay. >> sean: stephen a smith should be the highest paid espn comen at a timer by far. thank you, stephen a. >> i'm just fine. >> sean: with drug use running rampant in new york they decided to make it even easier for drug addicts. now putting in vending machines. charly ar nal has that shockingr story, she joins us next straight ahead.

i don't know if there's any hope of that happening anytime soon but what do you think it's going to do to the neighborhood? >> mess it up as usual. >> so you think it's a good idea. >> yes it is. uh-huh. >> interesting. what about the fact that it's taxpayer dollars that are potentially fueling an even bigger drug crisises in the city. >> doesn't matter we need that machine in the neighborhood that way we can have less people dying. >> it's packs pair money that we're giving resources to drug addicts do you think it's going to help or hurt the neighborhood. >> i think it's going to hurt the neighborhood. >> honestly think it's going to hurt because it's supplying the stuff knowing they have the strips they'll feel more comfortable to use it. >> why is it here? i don't think i don't see the purpose of it being on this residential block. no one on this block needs it. >> sean: charly's with us with more. consensus seems to be against it. by the way, the new york post reported that they had crack pipes in there as well. is that true? do we know yet? >> yeah, that's what was being
6:43 pm
reported. apparently all the good stuff flew off the shelves quickly. the crack pipes supposedly existing in the machine, leadership balm nicotine gum and tampons. now all that's left are the narcan kits and the fentanyl strips so what that tells you i'm not exactly sure but one lady across the street lived here two decades is absolutely disgusted. everyone around here realizes how bad the drug and overdose crisis is at this point you're going to put the vending machines out there you might as well put the drugs in there, too. >> sean: my question is, how do they get whatever they want to take out of the machine? do you need like a credit card? do you need just to poke in the number and it comes flying out or what? >> it is the simplest thing you could ever do. you just type in your zip code, you can put in any zip code it works and then choose the item on the shelf that you want type in the number it comes through, you pick it up, you go on your merry way. >> and if you want to take multiple items, nothing will
6:44 pm
stop you. >> no, no. you can take as much as you want. it's pretty much a free for all out here and people were telling me earlier, yesterday when the machine was first unveiled there were all types of people swarming the area and that's what they're afraid of because they already say there's zombie-like people perusing the streets but they're afraid people will travel to come to this neighborhood and this vending machine and then what's the incentive to leave and do their drugs elsewhere? no they'll come and blip down right here and smoke whatever is in their pockets. >> sean: charly great report we appreciate it. carley ar not at all. and for more on this we bring in outkick founder clay travis. trying to get your input on this. >> great job by charly, now it makes sense to me why hunter biden's moving to brooklyn. >> sean: that would make sense. >> i don't know if charly was there to see him getting all the crack out of the machine but as potential charges from america gar lands are looming i guess

hard times now for the president's son, so, yeah, i guess he's going to be buying a place in brooklyn. sounds like a perfect time to relocate. this is patently absurd and i feel bad for anyone who lives in this neighborhood. part and parcel for places like new york, san francisco, atlanta, chicago. so many cities are allowing the criminal elements to run rampant and i don't know what much more you could have than basically a free drug zone to draw in as many people as possible to be able to take advantage of this. and if you live in the neighborhood, it's going to make your neighborhood less safe. it's going to bring more of a criminal olement. and it's going to bring more undesirable to be all throughout your neighborhood, trying to get your family around. this is awful. it's a ridiculous decision and it is further evidence of allowing cities to descend into the 80s and the early 90s when crime ran rampant everywhere in this country. >> sean: maybe i'm old fashionedded but i don't want my
6:46 pm
money going to drug par finale to enable people to slowly commit suicide. the answer would be maybe they could put up a tent and put a drug counselor in there and say do you want help with your drug addiction, let's see if we can help you. >> yeah, and, look, also if you're going to spend tax dollars on things to try to make new york city streets safer, i prefer we have a lot more police out on the streets. and, by the way, how about actually lock up the people committing violent crimes so that people aren't terrified to go anywhere all over new york city. again it's going to take -- here's the reality, you know it sean. it's going to take a new modern generation rudy giuliani in new york city and in all of these cities in order for people to feel safe walking the streets again. >> sean: sad. this is now the future of blue state america. all right, clay travis, great to see you. thank you. when we come back a teammate of lea thomas is speaking out about what it was really like swimming beside the transgender athlete

♪ >> sean: so last year one of lea thomas's teammates came forward and spoke with her uncomfortable experience swimming with lea and in a recent sit-down interview she detailed how the school tried to silence her and her fellow teammates and said that they used to hide in the stalls to avoid changing next to lea. anyway, here with reaction is former ncaa swimmer and advisor to the independent women's forum voice, rather, is riley gaines. reilly, i mean she told matt walsh in an interview that, you know, the team in a meeting, you
6:52 pm
know, they said it was non-negotiable for her to be on the team and that they would regret if they spoke to the media. that was the u-penn athletic department telling the team they better shut their mouth. this is not uncommon, is it? >> no. make knock mistake, paula spoke of her experience at u-penn but this is the happening at every institution across the country and i know this because i just graduated from one. these institutions will do everything they can to silence you. paula's experience is far from unique. >> sean: so talk about this in terms of what the reality is, i mean, scanlon, you know, says after the meeting they scared the crap out of everybody. she said she was petrified. she said she went home that night, called her brother and said can i even talk with you about this? is there something wrong for me from thinking this is wrong? and the answer is obviously no. there's not something wrong. you taking a stand and you've taken a lot of heat for it,

there's nothing wrong with you having an opinion that somebody that goes through puberty as a biological man has a physical advantage over a biological female. true or false? that's simple, you know, science to me. >> no, exactly. but that's what they want. they want you to feel uncomfortable or to feel wrong rather for feeling uneasy a area where you're undressing and disrobing next to a 6'4" 22 year old man exposing his parts while you're simultaneously undressing. of course that's uncomfortable they're uncomfortable in general when you have the same sex in there but to add someone of the opposite section they want you to feel like you should apologize for feeling uncomfortable. really it's some george orwell dystopian novel we're living in. they want us to say two plus two is five and you're wrong if you call a spade a spade. if you say two plus two is four you're the one who is wrong and

you're a bigot. >> sean: okay. so rather than really in many ways influencing women's sports and, you know, you know the gains that were made by women in athletics with title 9 and how that has leveled the playing field in terms of men and scholarships available, et cetera, if they feel that strongly about it, then they should have a men's team, a woman's team and a trans team. that seems to me to be the perfect answer. >> yeah. >> sean: a trans athletic division, you know, make that. but you shouldn't take away biological women's positions that they worked their life for. you started swimming at what age? >> four years old. >> sean: four. >> four. and of course i stopped swimming when i was 22. >> sean: right. >> yeah. i dedicated 18 years of my life to that sport. >> sean: you dedicated your life. >> yeah, at the collegiate level we were practicing six hours swimming nearly ten miles every
6:55 pm
single day. >> sean: so you stayed in a pool -- i would turn into a pumpkin by that point. honestly, that takes an enormous amount of discipline, hard work, three hours you would swim in the morning, three hours in the afternoon and somebody that comes in, okay, biological male identifieses as a woman now gets to swim on the podium next to you, just not fair. it's that simple. >> that's the whole argument. look, this isn't something that's anti trans, this isn't meant to be hateful. this is pro woman. it's about fairness. end of discussion. >> sean: would you support a special trans category in collegiate sports? >> you know, in an ideal world, sure. i don't know how realistic that really is. i think the best option for now, in terms of resources, is the biological -- you compete with your biological sex. >> sean: all right. riley gaines. thank you. more hannity next. with gold bond...
