it's amazing. assuming that's true. tennis. specifically have prime time tonight rethere is more. tune in at eight. that's it for tonight. have a good one. >> welcome to jesse watters prime time tonight only person on the stage ii isn't bought and paid for. >> we don't need to bring in a rookie. >> the debate. what the heck just happened? >> hunter biden, air force 2. there is more. >> the ultimate luxury. the ultimate way to pamper yourself. >> fema and five-star hawaiian

hotels. we have answers. plus the mug shot.♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> >> fox news alerts atlanta district attorney fanny will most has shifts pushing donald trump three was fingerprinted and processed and supposedly had a mug shot democrats have charged him with crimes after he fought against an election he believed was still on the president will be addressing the media shortly and we will bring that to you. this is another sad day in the history of the republic. last night there were eight republican presidential candidates who took the debate stage with the frontrunner absent yet looming this was a big opportunity and even though

this was junior varsity if he wins he only has one terms of the republican bench was on full display. >> let me address the question on everyone's mind at home tonight who the heck is the skinny guy with the funny last name. >> do you believe in human behavior causing climate change raise your hand if you do. >> we are not schoolchildren let's have a debate. >> biden was on the beach while those people were suffering. he was asked about it and he said no, craig the climate change agenda is a hoax. >> i have had enough already tonight hit is a guy who sounds like chat gpt stands up here as the last person in one of these debates who stood in the middle of the stage and said what is a skinny guy with an all glass name doing appear was barack

obama and i am afraid we are dealing with the same type of amateur. >> gave me a hug just like you did obama. >> this is why margaret satcher said if you want something said ask a man if you want something done ask a woman. >> the reason that vivek ramaswamy was percolating he was fresh on the stage was seven career politicians a quick 38-year-old indian american entrepreneur with bright white teeth. he will stand out. just like trump did in 2016. he did not make friends on stage pretty was interesting and provocative. he will never be president but he found a pro trump outsider lane and generated heat. >> unlock american energy drill, burn coal and embrace it

nuclear. put people back to work by no longer paying them more to stay at home. >> we don't need to bring in a rookie we don't need to bring in people without experience. assuming now that everyone has their memorized slogans out of the way we can have a real discussion. the reality is you have a bunch of people professional politicians super pac puppets following slogans handed over to them by their super pacs last week. the real choice we face in this primary is this. you want a puppets or a patriot who speaks the truth? you want incremental reform or do you want revolution? and i stand on the side of the american revolution. >> the revolution place. vivek tapped into the spiritual vacancy we discussed last night. and mike pence took offense.

>> we are in the middle of a national identity crisis the problem in our country right now the reason we have that mental health epidemic people are hungry for purpose and meaning at a time when family and faith in patriotism and hard work have disappeared. what we need is a total reset from the taught say this is what it means to be an american. >> we are not looking for a new national identity that american people are the most faith filled freedom loving idealistic people we just need government as good as our people. >> you might have psalm you like on this stage it is not a morning in america. we live in a dark moment we have to confront the fact we are in an internal cold civil war. >> both are right. there is a meaninglessness or life in modern america. our screens are sucking our souls away with this is not

something the government can fix ron desantis capitalized on that. >> wire in this mess? part of it is because how this federal government handed ? handled covid19 by locking down this economy. it was a mistake it should have never happened and we let our country out of locked down and we kept our state free and open and measure president i will never let the deeps a bureaucrats lock you down. you don't take someone and coddle him you bring him and you sit him down and you say anthony you are fired. >> desantis was solid he stopped the bleeding he had to steady the ship he did not wow us he is mission driven his most powerful messages this. this is what i am this is what i am doing this is what i am about to do if you want to motion look elsewhere was a

display of record versus creativity. >> florida stood up for what was right we had schools open we eliminated critical race theory. we eliminated gender ideology from our schools and we have elevated the importance of american civics. we cannot be graduating students that don't have any foundation and what it means to be an american. student let's shut down the head of the snake the department of education put that money in the hands of parents we have a federal government that pays a single women more not to have a man in the house that you have a man in the house contributing to a epidemic of fatherlessness and that goes hand in glove with the education crisis. soon the republican party seizing on the education issue. you can have that conversation without mentioning the single motherhood epidemic these are jeep and thorny social issues are leaders must wrestle with

what the media scandalizes that conversation because single motherhood benefits them, the democrats politically and i was shocked these candidates gave joe biden a pass the president must be relieved relaxing knowing no one brought up the bribes scandal the afghanistan humiliation comparing hawaiians losing their homes to almost losing a corvette. we thought desantis and the rest would rip his throat out but it didn't happen. we were also light on solutions. the first round was on the economy and not a single candidate told us how they would reduce inflation or taxes. would they fire the fed chair? what's our trade posture with china? militarize the border shoot to kill war on cartels those are trump policies what would that look like? how would you execute that? how would you stop china from importing functional?

didn't hear it. maybe there were too many people on the stage in a weird moment occurred. >> you signed a pledge to support the eventual republican nominee.if former president trump is convicted in a court of law would you still support him as your party's choice? please raise your hand if you would. >> if you noticed desantis looked around and hesitated to put his hand up. a lot of them hesitated. i did not like that. by the way trump won the debate. most of the candidates praised him, ignored him more offer gentle critiques. this is the undercard calculation. chris christie is consolidating the tightrope vote vivek may have cut a deal for trump and we don't know how much the

vivek resume israel but he was the lead walker last night. >> whether or not you believe that the criminal charges are right or wrong the conduct is beneath the office of president of the united states. >> chris christie honest to god your claim that donald trump is motivated by vengeance and grievance would be credible if your entire campaign were not based on vengeance and grievance against one man. >> you know what? i know a lot better than you do. you have never done it.you have never done anything to try to advance the interests of this government except to put yourself as a candidate tonight. >> he was a lightning rod which kept the heat off of desantis. we expected more incoming. nobody touched him.that was fortunate and both vivek and

desantis one for different reasons. nikki haley turned in a thoughtful performance and mike pence was aggressive but his connection to the trump basis fractured beyond the career. her ? repair. tim scott, nice guy disappeared. asa hutchinson and doug nice guys will make the next cut the next debate september 27. the reality is this. the camera loves you or it doesn't. your delivery pops orgasm. politicians have to create emotional attachments as much as they say this is about policy people want to feel something. this country has been about the voyage if it was landing in the colonies pushing west on the frontier winning the cold war. america has always been about something bigger than the moment. we are we going?

why are we going there? that is what leaders tell us and we are still waiting to hear that. the founder of american majority added out to coast and sean duffy is the host of the bottom line on foxbusiness. how did you think everybody did last night? >> i felt like i was going to sign it for a seminar for vivek ramaswamy. he was delivering it. maybe a used car salesman or a motivational speaker but he appeal to emotion and without trump on the stage you need is someone who is charismatic who would shine. his personality shone bright but does he have a lot to back it up? and i slightly agree with you on desantis because i think desantis would have had more of a moment if everyone would have piled on him because he could've said all the stuff you are talking about i have done it and i will do it again i wish more people would have piled on so we could talk about

his record more but at the end of the day i did not expect mike pence to give us spice but he gave us spice so i am not mad at it. >> i would not say he was overly aggressive but i think brad had to calm him down. what did you think about what tommy said did you expect desantis to tangle more or did you not see vivek coming? >> i think desantis had to tangle more he did not win or lose but he is come down 10 points in the polls he is losing the owners he needed to sparkle and he didn't. i don't think he made up any ground at all. now vivek ramaswamy i was impressed with he tangled with everybody and when no one knows your name you get extra 30 seconds to respond he dominated the stage. tim scott he did not engage in the debate most three points i thought vivek was clear on he called climate change a hoax.

he said we are going to burn coal.i love it. he defended donald trump he has more than 50 percent of the voters we have to win those people over him by defending him you could access him if something should happen and finally on ukraine he was only when the said no more money to ukraine and you have desantis who is waffling and maybe if they give more money we can give more money but what about the southern border mark vivek was clear voters want to see clarity and now maybe had different positions two months ago but last night vivek was awesome. >> we are hearing that donald trump is still on the way to the airport after getting booked it we expect him to say a few things to media that have assembled there we will bring that to you. so what did you think, he wasn't there but he kind of was did you see anybody rising to that level?

sumit know i lowered my expectations last night i was hoping for maybe a cage fight between the political doors one of them crowned king of the dwarves but i got bickering food fight at the kids table thanksgiving i'm not sure what they are auditioning for certainly not nominee for 2024 probably not for vice president. he is not taking any of those people. >> you don't think he is considering any of those people on stage at all for vp or cabinet? >> i don't think for vp i would be hard-pressed to think he would pick any for the cabinet i would like for him to pick kim reynolds but nikki sounded like she was auditioning for president of raytheon or ukraine but desantis i wanted to send out a missing person bulletin and when he did reappear out of the backdrop he had his indelible debate moment when he had to look around the stage to see what everyone else was doing when he was asked if

he would support trapani halfheartedly raised his hand way to profile political courage of their, chief and 2003 called in one of the foreign policy backfilling woman got it right was desantis and twas vivek ramaswamy the go base is done on the issue of ukraine. spinning that moment when the hands went up and people were looking around actually right now before we get to you we see the former president leaving the suv approaching reporters. let's listen. >> it's a sad day for america. to challenge an election he should be able to challenge an election. i thought it was a rigged election a stolen election and i should have every right to do that. you have many people you have been watching over the years to the same thing hillary clinton stacy abrams many others. when you have that freedom to

dishonest elections. what has taken place here we did nothing wrong and everybody knows it. we have never had such support and that goes with the other ones. election interference they are trying to interfere with the election there has never been anything like it in the country before this is the way of campaigning. this is one instance but you have three other instances. it's election interference. i want to thank you for being here. we did nothing wrong and we have every right, every single right to challenge an election that we think is dishonest. so thank you very much and i will see you very soon. thank you very much. >> the former president was just booked in the fofulton county jail a mug shot will be released at any moment and we will show you that as we get it. let's bring in laura trump

right now. do we have her? larra that is an awful thing to have a mug shot after you have seen rudy giuliani's mug shot and was the most unfortunate image it's so distressing the challenging election is a crime in this country. working the phones is a crime in this country. embezzlement apparently isn't. not paying your taxes is fine dry hot guns in a dumpster next to a school is okay. funding a sex trafficking ring is fine and accepting foreign bribes is fine but phone calls apparently you get impeached or indicted. your thoughts mr. mark >> i think you are spot on with that and specifically today this feels like one of the low points in american history, i wonder what the rest of the world is looking at, the once great superpower the united states of america and thinking

right now as we would watch this play out with my father-in-law. this arraignment today and probably a mug shot of one of the most recognizable people in the entire world why you would need a mug shot i why you would need to set a bond for somebody like donald trump is absolutely absurd. he is no flight risk everybody recognizes him. but it just shows you how far the democrats have gone at this point and they used to try to hide it but it feels very blatant and out front. they are not afraid to show us what they're willing to do and how they are willing to tear down this country. our founding fathers one of separation of powers because they never wanted the influence of politics in our legal system but that's exactly what we saw happen today to donald trump what we saw happen to him four times with these absurd

indictments and started a year ago if we can believe it's only been a year since that predawn raid at tomorrow lago and has now escalated to this point today so we have seen what infiltrating our legal system with politics will do. and this destroys the country one that starts to happen we start to become an authoritarian state we are no longer a constitutional republic where we get to choose our leaders and how this country is run and i tell you what my father-in-law has always said it.he is said they are not after me, thereafter all of us. i am just standing in their way and he has stood in their way and he will continue to stand in their way because he understands this is bigger than him this is about the future of this country because if we allow this corruption to go forward, if we allow this to play out the way the democrats wanted to we will lose the united states.

so if you saw the debate last night in the moment where people raise their hands if they would support your father-in-law if he was convicted there was some hesitation but almost every hand went up. do you think this field of candidates understands that it is not just about one man, donald trump it's about the entire country the entire movement and this desperate lashing out at people they can't control? >> i think they had better because there is a two-pronged effect they want to prevent donald trump from becoming president again, that is been pretty clear for a long time of this is about a warning to anyone who dare step outside and question anything the government tells us to do or tells us to think this is about a warning to the rest of the country don't step out of line because today it is donald trump and tomorrow it could be used so i hope every person running for president of the united states understands what

is at stake because really it is a frightening time in a very dark time for america. >> will it work? neutralizing him this way tying him up in the courtroom for months in the beginning of next year and into the spring when he should be fundraising and campaigning and traveling? is that going to be effective? >> i don't think it has been so far he is at 62 percent in the republican field no one comes close his numbers of course continue to rise every single time they try to throw something like this his way because it becomes more obvious to the country. what they are trying to do and why it is so dangerous and why this cannot succeed in america and so no i don't think it will be successful for them i sure hope it isn't because it feels like this is our last chance to save this country this is our last chance to get it right

when you give power to people like this who are literally willing to burn it down like they are doing to this country right now. we don't come back from that they don't give you your rights back when they try to shave some more fat off the constitution you can't put it back again so i don't think it will work i think people understand what is going on and tonight just solidified donald trump is 1/47 president of the united states. >> i think you are right about this that they get away for this this is not going to be the first political arrest for there will be more where that came from. thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> a convicted mafia underboss joins us next plus how did last night's debate go? >> it was the biggest loser? >> no matter how you look at it, mike pence.

>> we have an update on the investigation into hunter biden. prime time can exclusively report the hunter biden used air force 2 to get to 15 different countries. joe biden can no longer deny he was in business with his son he was literally his copilot. but to unearth photos from the laptop secret service records and videos show hunter traveled more than we knew. here is hunter in croatia with his family in 2015 mixing joe biden's business with pleasure and here is hunter sitting on air force 2 and coso vo. hunter wasn't coso vo with his family to visit a road dedicated to his late brother they are investigating his meetings while coso vo but you never know where hunter ends up we told you earlier he used air

force 2 to meet up with business partners >> his dad always keeping a little distance trying to stay clear of the cameras earlier this week we showed you how he would slink into the backseat of the limo after getting off of air force 2. and there he is in germany. i think he is behind jill. and we also found him in literally shaking hands with the prime minister.he spent a lot of time in italy the only

time we saw hunter walk off air force 2 and then the biden family got a $20 million deal. hunter requested secret service protection in egypt south africa and kenya. the same dates as dad traveled there in 2010. so remember while joe was vice president hunter siphoned everything he could out of africa helping the chinese buy up african cobalt lines in 2016 with most vice president you don't have to think twice about families going on trips but with the biden's you have to ask questions so we have a request demanding records for every person who was on the dozens of trips as vice president this is a family with 20 shell companies offshore bank accounts bribe allegations

millions and dirty cash and no taxes paid most people end up in jail with that kind of record in my next guested. a former mobster with the colombo family so what did you do to get convicted? >> it was a rico case i pled guilty on i have three cases 2 were federal one brought on by giuliani and another was a state case out of florida. so i spent several months on trial defending one i was acquitted i pled guilty to a second indictment and also pled guilty to 1/3 in florida so i am very familiar with it. assuming so you understand is kind of a conspiracy deal and obviously there were some taxes not paid how is that similar with what you are doing similar to the biden's? >> well jesse.

i had 18 shell companies and when i say shell companies all of these companies had a bank account they had no brick-and-mortar office no employees no product we were selling all we did was collect money and the money i was collecting was tax money we were defrauding the government out of billy purpose again for these companies was to collect that money. and that's exactly the same thing i see going on with the biden and i am wondering why they are not asking certain questions what service did you provide what product did you sell wire you collecting this money? and i'm going to tell you this i am very familiar with the statute. you have suspicious bank accounts you have money flowing into shell companies you have money going into everybody but joe biden of course he doesn't want to put this money in his

account i did not put the money in my account it went everywhere else and i collected it in a different way.you have this you have text messages emails, photos witnesses this is a slamdunk indictment i'm not saying there's going to be a conviction. you are innocent until proven guilty about an indictment if this was one of my fellow associates i would have been indicted a long time ago with the amount of evidence i am seeing from a distance. >> you said the money came into these and none of them at your bank account you got the money in other ways. which is you mean by that? no penny hit his account. >> of course it would not this is money he doesn't want attached to him if he is influence peddling or his son is going around selling his office or his illusion of being able to provide a service as

vice president why would he have the money going into his account he doesn't want attached to him in any way. he can send everywhere else but in this case sending it to family members this has to be a service that they provided. why is the money going into their accounts? it of course the sources are questionable. china and ukraine and again i am not saying his innocence or guilty what i am saying from my experience this is a slamdunk indictment. no doubt. there's a pattern of racketeering this was done over a time you can say an argument could be made that biden is a criminal organization if this money is coming in illegally but it certainly looks that way to me and again not only did i defend my own but i see many of my former associates that had indictments in the pattern is

always the same and this looks like that. >> are you in the united states right now? >> i am in italy. >> child. have a great night. >> fox news alert. still waiting the release of donald trump's mug shot. something ghoulish about this entire episode. plus a major update to fema's five-star hotel scandal. right back. >>

goli, taste your goals.

>> the biden administration is livid at elon musk he brought the propaganda platform and exposed it as a domestic intelligence censorship out. vitas department of justice is suing space x because he would not hire illegal immigrants but elon musk was just following the law hiring noncitizens is a national security threat as rockets are considered advanced

weapons technology.sinecure going interplanetary but you're not going international. soon if this is not up to us if you are working on rocket technology that is advanced weapons technology a normal work visa is not sufficient unless you get a special permission from the secretary of defense for the secretary of state. soon if the person that complained about the discrimination that prompted the probe 's is even a refugee is a dual citizen of austria and canada. and now a tweet by him in 2020 is being used against him. as biden's federal prosecutors call an example of public discrimination. that is discrimination. we have heard this story before this is the theme of biden's team. the justice system is totally broken beyond repair with somebody goes against the

bidens they find themselves being prosecuted. >> fox news alert two days ago maui official so there were 850 people missing after the fires ravaged island and now they have changed the number saying over a thousand people are unaccounted for many of them are believed to be children. why does it feel like no one has any idea what's going on? and now we are learning that the top emergency officials weren't even there when the fires started they were in honolulu at a conference at a beachfront resort and did not lift a finger for the first five hours. they were at the beach resort in honolulu discussing disaster responses instead of responding to the actual disaster in west maui roads were barricaded so cars could not escape officials literally barricaded people into the flames.

seniors in homes were left to fend for them selves grabbing their stuff and running where they could and these are just a few of the reasons we were so upset to see officials who were sent there to help staying at five-star resorts photos courtesy of the daily mail show officials and the small islands finest accommodations. today see an umbrella and that man's cocktail? i hope not maybe this is what they meant when they meant their rescue mission would be culturally responsive. >> we are working to ensure our outreach and messaging is culturally responsive and we can get messages out to people so they will know what is available. >> are all officials getting coconut oil massage out of respect for the missing hawaiian children? after our report fema responded and said they are moving out.

fema sent us a statement saying this. females personnel including hundreds of search and rescue teams to provide relief to the survivors in support to the state and local governments as quickly as possible due to lack of lodging fema negotiated government rates at the lowest possible cost for staff temporarily staying in the available hotels as we transition into recovery staff will no longer stay there. they will move to more affordable responder lodging as they fulfill the commitments to support maui the government rate? we did not know what that meant in the government rate means basically if government employees are on government business and they have to stay somewhere the hotel has to give them a slight discount so they are saying they had to stay at five-star hotels but we know that is not true either way we

hope they can find other culturally sensitive accommodations for under $1000 a night and let's continue to prefer the missing men women and children. next up johnny as the streets to talk about the debate. >> what was your favorite moment of last night's debate? sumit vivek christie to hug me like obama. sumit you think he should have hugged obama? >> absolutely not. >>

>> fox news alert new updates and the tragic drowning of obama's personal chef campbell died last month in m vineyard f chief medical examiner has ruled the drowning accident primetime has obtained a copy of the edgartown incident report the secret service agent

was the one to call police on july 23. police went to the scene and a rescue swimmer and a zodiac boat were deployed within 20 minutes after the 911 call the close that he was wearing in the paddleboard he was using were recovered but it wasn't until the next morning that his body was recovered sources say he was partially closed when he was found. we don't know the identity of the secret service agent or the female obama staff member who was reportedly paddleboard it with him according to police obama was not at home during the time of the incident in his family is in our thoughts. donald trump has been arrested and has been processed in georgia steve harrigan is on the ground in atlanta with the latest. >> we just got the mug shot of the former president is seems to be an angry frown if you want to describe that picture the entire process took 15

minutes. the president was met at the airport by a large motorcade including police motorcycles all the streets were blocked off you posted earlier he would be proudly arrested at 7:30 pm he entered the fulton county jail at 7:40 pm he was not seen entering inside he was fingerprinted and the mug shot was taken in $200,000 was posted 15 minutes later the president exited returned to atlanta airport and came out and spoke to the traveling media he spoke for one minute saying it was a sad day for america in his view what is happening is election interference so this mug shot is out now and this day that the president described as a sad one for america. student led spring and the founder of the american majority to react we're about

to see the mug shot and there it is. luscious take that in for a second. you do see some anger in the eyes. and i don't like the coverage of it.cnn got the image leached to them before the rest of the media that tells you everything you need to know about the process. your reaction. this does elicit an emotional response. >> i would hope that people understand that we are in a cold civil war with the un-american laugh they decided they would use the legal system as a weapon against political opponents. and i don't think many fully understand that i thought it was one of the biggest disappointments and last night's debate nobody understood the greatest threat to our freedom and liberty is not russia or china but the administrative state and the

voters want somebody is going to stand up to the system and crush it and return us back to constitutional government and the left fears trump they fear him. they view him as a next essential threat if he does become the nominee and wins in 2024 he has made it clear he will go to war with the administrative state and break it apart and they can't allow him to get back into power to achieve that they are going to do everything they can to prevent that and i have to tell you, jesse unless the right wakes up and understands the only path forward is mutually assured destruction while they are launching nukes at the left they will continue down this path. they will not stop and say we should stop this is not good for the republic. so we actually fully understand and fight back and make them understand there will be

mutually assured destruction of their behavior only get worse. >> you are saying republicans should promise mug shots of democrats. >> 100 percent our state ag's are looking at each other like they don't know what time it is. at some point after understand we are in an interesting time as the country forget what you think what the past we have come from and where we are right now is a fight for the future and existence of a constitutional republic and at some point you have to fight fire with fire and they will continue down this path. their intent on one party rule. the left wants to have one party rule in which they are the dominant party there may be some controlled opposition but they do not want to sense they do not want freedom of speech and the things of the day they are done with representative democracy they don't really

believe in that anymore. it frightens them a kid up in the applecart and i have to tell you at the base of this issue with donald trump all of this comes down to one thing donald trump came to dc and said i am the duly elected president i decide foreign and domestic policy and the state and the allies said we don't think so we are the ones in charge. this is what it is all about. assuming the power of this image and is going to be used everywhere. you will see it on every station from now until next november. what effect will this image specifically have on the motion with the american people because sometimes it has not sunk in that he had been indicted for does that do for

people on both sides after they see that? >> i would hope that those watching realize we are heading down a dangerous path when you are indicting interesting political opponents first of all it's going to galvanize the base.i think it will galvanize them i think trump will be the nominee my concern if i am being completely honest the low information chardonnay sippers in the suburbs think he must have been guilty of something and that might damage him >> in this country people to understand innocence until proven guilty. when you get fingerprints and a mug shot they are guilty of people's eyes and thus the place where we are right now will take a step back is this it looked like a traditional mug shot. are you seeing what i am saying? i don't see it the way i

thought i was going to see it with the lines of the background the way it was propped up. >> they are trying use this the process is the punishment they are trying to get the mug shot out there to look as if he is guilty of something in fact, tl politically motivated. do you think the president's campaign is going to exploit the mugshot for? >> i think the old purposes, because right now joe biden has actually fundraised off of this booking. he sent out something at 730. remember, this all went down at fulton county jail at 730, saying now is the perfect time to. donate to my campaign. i think they will. i think the trump campaign will use this. i think they will try and spin this as a positive. i think a lot of people are probably going to be making sure things straight out of

manhattan with that image on it. but again, you know, that little niggling in the back of my head about next fall in the suburban moms. >> yeah, i'm worried about the same thing. i don't think it was this sensational as we expected and it had different. ned, thank you so much. sad again. sean hannity. up next. welcome to "hannity". hello, house, everybody.ni tonight. thank you all for joining us. wellng us. , we got a great crowd here tonight. e fo >> we start tonight with a fox news alert. >> you are looking at joe biden. oh, i'm sorry, donald trump's official shot. joe biden will be soon enough. anyway, moments ago,g the 45th president of the united states walked into the notorious fultone 45th coun georgia, jail wher w
