sticky sammy, paul p, what else will we follow up with. david, if this economy gets worse, i may have to live with the cannibals. that's a tough choice. poor michael rockefeller. that's all for tonight. i am watters and this is my world. >> welcome to a special edition of hannity on a friday before labor day. hope it is a good one. i am pete hegseth in for sean. it was another short workday for joe biden. the white house called an early lid around 1:30 this afternoon. hope you had a chance to do that. apparently the president needs to rest up in preparation for a big weekend, amid mounting political pressure, he's actually heading to florida to tour hurricane damage, but only because of outside pressure. maybe he'll talk about his

kitchen fire again. we'll see. fear not, after a shortstop, he will be flying back to delaware for another vacation at the beach. so is biden too feeble and exhausted to keep up with rigors of the job or hiding from questions like these? probably both. take a look. >> do you have concerns about visibility? >> no. >> let's talk about why i'm here. >> it is funny. come on, man. joe will never voluntarily hand over all his bank records. he has too much to hide. tonight, an important update from corruption allegations against joe biden. among the thousands of government emails biden sent using a pseudonym as vice president, one from robin ware, his son hunter discussed a future hire at the white house, hunter emailed joe, joe emailed right back. the 2014 email was sent to

hunter's business account, the business that joe had no involvement in whatsoever. so shouldn't come as a surprise the white house is now ramping up a war room to respond to an impeachment inquiry. they have dozens of lawyers on call. that inquiry is now all but certain. here now with reaction, fox news legal analyst greg jarrett and matt whitaker, attorney general. axios was reporting that kevin mccarthy said an impeachment inquiry would require a house vote. nancy pelosi didn't hold a house vote either time in the first impeachment or the second which was a snap. what do you make of mccarthy's insistence on a vote and does it change the process? >> well, it does change the process in a meaningful way. i mean, mccarthy it seems is going to be fair. there will either be a house inquiry committee or

select committee. it will have both sides on it. you recall in the first impeachment of donald trump, secretive hearings in the basement of the house. republicans were allowed to attend but that's about it. they weren't given subpoena power, couldn't call their own witnesses, they were limited and restricted in cross examination, so it was essentially a sham. then they didn't vote out of the committee but simply went to the floor where democrats had the vote. the second impeachment was even worse. they didn't even bother to hold any hearings. it was a snap impeachment. here i think mccarthy is determined to be fair. >> matt, you have been at the highest levels of the justice department, the highest level of the justice department. how common are government officials using one of the, a dot gov account, a couple g mail accounts, pseudonyms to pass information in government

to others, including hunter biden. >> well, good to be with you, pete. regular order is always the most important thing. i know when i took over at the department of justice that was my main mantra, regular order and i'm glad to see kevin is doing that in the house, unlike nancy pelosi who exercised sheer politics as gregg mentioned. the pseudonym thing is very interesting. typically, you know, it is known that the principal has one of the accounts so that they can conduct business without all of the pam that will come in. it is g mail accounts and multiple accounts that's concerning in this case. obviously we're just scratching the surface now, pete, on multiple thousands of emails that the vice president was sending to hunter, his son, including infor information, not classified but sensitive information about ukraine and other topics that hunter was certainly very

interested in for business purposes. >> for sure. gregg, the regular order as matt points out, it gives the power to whether it is a select committee or impeachment inquiry to subpoena records. are they going to see unredacted emails? would they see unredacted bank accounts? would they have a chance to get to the bottom of it, hence a war room being assembled in the white house at this point? >> yeah. i mean, look, yes, they would, if they use a select committee. they would have absolute authority to obtain unredacted alias emails, 5,400 joe biden was using over eight years as vice president. that's more than two a day. i think in there you're going to find some pretty astonishing information about how joe biden was working with his son in these influence pedalling schemes. you played a clip of it. he laughs it off.

bribery is an impeachable offense. the recent scandal contains evidence of influence pedalling which the criminal code describes as bribery, using public office to benefit exchange of money. bar is ma got a courtesy because of joe. and an investigation that vanished when he demanded the ukrainian prosecutor be fired. meantime, his son gets millions of dollars in return. that's the definition of bribery in the criminal codes. >> right there in the code, right there in the constitution. matt, if you turn to other channels now, it is wall to wall 18 month shots, atlanta, indictments, hearings, cameras in the courtroom, donald trump, donald trump, as it often is. how much legal jeopardy, though, are the bidens actually in? should there be an inquiry that connects the dots

that so far cable news and a few house committees had to connect? to what gregg said, this strikes to the heart of what it means to be the president, what it means to hold classified information, to use your influence. how far would this go? >> well, it can go a long way, and it is going to be the deliberate drip, drip, drip of an impeachment inquiry that's ultimately going to do the significant damage to joe biden and his presidency because if you remember in watergate, it took a long time for that case to build, a lot of shoes had to drop. i think in this case in particular, you know, as gregg points out, there's a prima facie case for bribery. as they build the impeachment inquiry brick by brick, the american people are going to learn a lot more about what joe biden was doing as vice president and how involved his son hunter was as the bag man and as the person

negotiating the deals so the whole family could be enriched and their life-style could accelerate well beyond 40 years of public service that joe's life-style had provided to that point. >> pay very close attention to when rank and file democrats in the house and senate start to pay attention and say this is something worth looking at because there's enough smoke. gregg, matt, thanks for breaking it down for us. thank you. it is no secret that biden is a disaster, you know this. top democrats are dusting off their dusty bench if biden doesn't run in 2024, gavin newsom, lockdown governor gretchen whitmer are waiting in the wings. scary. some are hoping michelle obama would consider a name, the name that always comes up. joining us with more, former adviser to clinton, doug shown and host of a podcast, tudor dixon. doug, if you could give us a snapshot of the democrat

field considering where joe's poll numbers are, considering what he has got looming, considering what his opponent has looming, considering his capabilities, would you advice him to run or is it time to look to the bench? >> well, i would say this, pete. he has serious, serious negatives, both in terms of performance, ethics, and age. but that being said, he is tied with or slightly ahead of donald trump and as long as that's the case, the democrats will keep him as their neiman not turn to anyone else. part of the reason for that judgment is because most likely alternative is vice president kamala harris who if the numbers people believe, and i do, is weaker both in terms of her ratings and against trump than joe biden. >> doug, those numbers have tightened though, in

some battleground states trump has shown now ahead. is there a moment the political step in and say enough of this, we can't win this in '24? >> we're a long way away from that, pete. it could happen, but with donald trump facing four indictments and numbers that are almost as bad if not in some instances worse than joe biden, we're a long way away from it for pure political reasons. >> purely political reasons. nothing to do with competence and ethics, all political. tudor, you're familiar with one of the players. >> it is poll numbers. >> you're right. that's how washington works on so many levels. what do you make of her name being floated and others, michelle obama being another one. >> i think it is interesting. i do think the point of polls is good because joe biden is considered a moderate. he can still run on a moderate even though we know the truth about him, grich enwhitmer can't run as moderate, gavin newsom

can't, i don't think michelle obama wants to jump in. she's the threat they use, it makes the republicans scared. they don't like the idea of an obama running. they're already running things behind the scenario. she doesn't want to give up her life-style and run into the race. gretchen whitmer does. she has had a bad second term. state of michigan is falling apart right now. you're seeing this news as we speak about the unions suing the automakers because they're suing for unfair labor practices because they've come back and said we'll give you a 9% raise and unions want a 46% raise, and they're using her language saying we'll fight like hell to get equitable money for our workers. this is not a good look for gretchen whitmer when we don't have business in the state of michigan. gavin newsom has a similar situation with theft in california, the businesses that are leaving. this is not a good look for them.

i think democrats will say we would rather stay with someone we can pretend is moderate. >> gretchen whitmer has the same problem as newsom, a record to defend, quality of life to defend in that particular state. doug, say the poll numbers went there. who would it be? michelle obama showed no interest or very little in this, but if desperation struck and can't be kamala harris, where do they turn? >> i think first it would be kamala harris. she is the sitting vice president. and in polling my firm has done, she's well ahead of the field. if it wasn't, my money is on gavin newsom who has the interest, the money, and the energy. he would be my bet, notwithstanding the very real problems in california that i don't minimize at all. >> tudor, how much do these, what happened in

hawaii, he is going to florida tomorrow, we'll see how the president performs there, but these big emergencies where joe biden seems absent, and when he is there, he is flippant. you described him as a moderate. he hasn't governed as a moderate, i know that's how people view him. when it comes to emergencies and the governor of florida, ron desantis, stepping up, being all over it, over time does that add to his challenges? >> absolutely. i think as republicans get smarter how to talk to voters, how to educate, advertise these messages, i think this really hurts him. doesn't hurt him as much now, people that are hearing the news are hearing very little about hawaii sadly, because he is not there, it doesn't stay in the news. if we are able to get the message out, continue to talk about the vacationing over people's lives, people will recognize that he is not able to do the job. but it is not just that he's not there, it is when he is there, he says things like i had a kitchen fire, too, it was terrible. we're looking at people

that lost their lives. when you start to pull together what he does say when he is there, that's when people go wait, this guy is not capable of running the united states of america. >> doug, real quick on the other side, what's polling showing as pertains to former president trump as indictments have loaded on, as trial dates are being set. has it solidified republican support in your numbers, how has it changed him in a general matchup? >> it has solidified him vis-a-vis the rest of the republican field as the public polling is showing, and we've done a great deal of polling both nationally and in states, pete. in the general election, we are showing trump this week with a one point lead. clearly he has not eroded at all. the democratic case is based on the fact that they believe swing voters and suburbanites will turn against him as they did in 2022, 2020, and 2018, but that remains an open

proposition because most elections, pete, are referenda on the incumbent. >> tudor, your ears to the ground on the republican side, how is donald trump viewed now amongst base as pertains to the nomination? >> i think people are still rallying around him. i don't think anybody was a standout candidate some folks thought would happen in the debate. nobody seemed to stand out beyond donald trump. right now, i keep hearing what happens with the indictments, but we're still with him now. >> absolutely. tudor, doug, thank you very much. coming up, karine jean-pierre says biden did more for border security than anyone in history. the question is which side of the border are they talking about? sarah carter, curtis leewa next.

>> welcome back to a special edition of "hannity." biden's border crisis is impacting every corner, every state, every city in the united states. but the white house doesn't seem to care. earlier this week, new york governor kathy hochul visited the white house, but biden couldn't quite find time to meet with her about the self inflicted illegal immigrant crisis. he was too busy. >> he has a good relationship with the governor. we have been, every time in new york, the president, practically every time, the president engages with the governor. they have a very good relationship. look, the president has a lot on his plate. >> that's boiler plate nonsense. biden's open border crisis is forcing blue state governors to take matters into their own hands or at least try. massachusetts governor heely activated national guard to assist in

emergency shelters housing illegals. i served with guys from massachusetts national guard in guantanamo, cuba. great soldiers. now they've gone from guarding terrorists to passing out blankets to illegals. and the problem is only getting worse. according to a bombshell new report, illegal crossings of family units hit an all-time high, all-time in august last month. so what's biden's big solution? he is asking private businesses in new york to provide free services to asylum seekers. so the government creates the problem, then private businesses have to give away free things? it sounds like a democratic plan if i ever heard one. but the growing crisis hasn't stopped the white house from gas lighting the american people. take a look at this. >> the president has done more to secure the border and to deal with this issue of immigration than anybody else. >> here with reaction, fox news contributor sarah

carter and former new york city mayoral candidate, curtis lee was. nobody did more than joe. no one has ever done more, sarah, don't try to contradict them. >> i know. i know. what's so stunning is it is abusive. literally, the biden administration is abusing the american public. it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the biden administration, one in which they created, pete. this is what they want. see, for them it is not a problem. this is exactly what they want to do. they opened the flood gates. they have not only created a problem for us in our country, just in texas alone, one example, 330 million doses of fetanyl have poured in through the border last year. we have our children dying in the streets. we have people being poisoned by fetanyl. we have humanitarian crisis that is so large

that the united nations literally has stated that the border, land border crossing between the united states and mexico is one of the most dangerous in the world. and yet it continues. yet it continues. i was speaking earlier today with congressman chip roy about this and he is saying look, i am trying to get congressional members together to say let's stop funding dhs. stop funding it until the biden administration does something to change this trajectory because it is harming us, it is harming people that are crossing, and frankly it is quite dangerous and it is impeachable in my opinion. >> absolutely. you might say it is a humanitarian crisis, yet you don't have democratic lawmakers crying on the border at what they're seeing. curtis, as goes new york, often goes other cities. you look at how new york is handling this, sanctuary city. we welcome everybody. now they're overwhelmed, pointing fingers at everybody else except the

biden administration. how does this trickle down to everyday people? >> the spokesperson for biden is a new yorker. i know hunter biden has been living out, hanging out at the white house, maybe they don't do drug tests any more, but is that lady in a drug induced psychosis, smoking maui wowie to to think joe biden is the strongest president to deal with border issues? absolutely not. i tell you, we were the ones that wanted to be in sanctuary city, sanctuary states, massachusetts, illinois, california. governor abbott who said no mas, said we are not a sanctuary state. guess what, i am going to have them put on the greyhound buses, they can be your responsibility. all of a sudden being a sanctuary city and state has responsibilities. and now everybody is pointing fingers at one another in new york. you have this man with no

plan, crime wave, and they're like the three stooges, what a disaster. so people are vacating new york. as illegals come in on the greyhound, there's another group of new yorkers heading to florida, even with the hurricane raging, georgia, north carolina, south carolina, virginia, texas, they're out of here. one day the empire state will be the illegal alien state at this rate. >> moving that direction. there's absolutely no doubt. sarah, what's the data point at the top of the show, august, highest number of family units ever crossing the border. why is that number going up higher than ever? >> because there's incentive. the government is incentivizing people to come across the border. it is extraordinarily dangerous. i spoke to folks in panama, going through the

darian gap, they told me there are a number of children disappeared into this dangerous jungle. not only is he incentivizing people to come into the country but we saw that was the same with numbers in july, around 245,000 i think nationwide, nationwide encounters, and about 200,000 just at the border. this isn't going to slow down, pete, this is going to get far worse. i think when we look at a serious note, it is in a way laughable. on the serious side of this, it is the american people paying the price. we know this border is being used by terrorists. we know that terrorists like isis, islamic state, al qaeda and others are looking at the border as an open siv into the united states. we don't know if we have sleeper cells ready to target us. who is going to pay the price for it if they do. the american people, our children, people going to the mall, people at soft targets. you know this well from

your time in the service. basically our government has set us up for failure. we have to ask ourselves what president would do this, not only do this but turn his back on democratic governors who are saying enough is enough, we need to talk. there's something wrong here. so we have to really look at that seriously. there's something wrong at the white house and something seriously wrong with president biden. >> no doubt. curtis, numbers are going up. nothing is going to change. how much worse could it get? >> a lot more worse. we have 19,000 kids going into our schools, not vaccinated. kids during the pandemic had to be vaccinated. we have brave civil servants that were fired because they wouldn't take the vaccine, especially health care workers who went into the belly of the beast and we applauded them every night at 7:00, then turned heroes into zeros. now the illegals don't have to get vaccinated.

we are doing blockades in new york city. we are not standing by, blocking bridges, 18 wheel tractor-trailers, taking civil disobedience to a new level. out of the way, politicians, republicans, democrats. all you do is talk. leave it to the people. we'll stop the invasion. we've got to stop the invasion or our country, our state and our city will be destroyed. >> curtis, you're out there leading the way, sarah, you're on the frontlines covering the board he. thank you both tonight. straight ahead, biden continues to pretend his economic plan is working but americans are feeling the burden of so-called self named bidenomics. we bring you the latest next. kayaking is my thing. running is awesome. but her moderate to severe eczema would make her skin so uncomfortable. i was always so itchy especially when i was hot. now my skin doesn't itch as much. now we're staying ahead of her eczema. there's a power inside all of us to live our passion. and dupixent works on the inside

am imcompetents front. fewer jobs created in june and july than previously reported, they were revised downward. but joe seems unfazed. he touted it as a big success. remember the biggest airlift in history, a success, even though you can see it is a failure. 61% of americans are living paycheck to paycheck, loading the rest on credit cards, thanks to biden inflation. the fed is hiking rates for months. today, "the wall street journal" warned that all of us may not be ready for the consequences of all of the increases. it is background noise until it hits you. costs for everyone from homeowners to businesses have a chance of going way up thanks to bidenomics. co-host of the big money show, brian bremburg.

thank you for being here. brian, we are both from forest lake, minnesota, small town, you know. how are our neighbors of old, how are they feeling the biden economy, are they loving it? >> they hate it when they go to the grocery store and gas station, a lot of them drive trucks, pete, you know that. this is not ev territory. you don't have an ev charging station at every corner. you need gas stations to afford the gas. that's the problem. if you try to buy a house or car, trying to buy anything, watching interest rates go up, saying oh, my gosh, i can't afford this. my mortgage is now 7, 7.5%. car loan is 9.5%. my average car payment to buy a new car is $750 a month, pete. those numbers don't equate in parts of america where you need a strong economy to afford a family's life.

bidenomics is borrowing money and borrowing time. as you look at the labor report today, what you're starting to see, time might be starting to tick out. >> monica, it is amazing to watch them lean into what they're trying to spin as an asset but is actually a massive liability, but what else are they going to lead into, the border, foreign policies, they've chosen economics. does anyone look at it and say joe's really got it? >> well, you know what, they have the amplification of propaganda press to spin lies about the economy, border, and everything else. but unfortunately for them the american people are living the economic disaster on the ground every single day. they're being crushed by relentless inflation and record consumer debt, sky high prices, gas prices, food prices, things people use every day. that employment report, jobs report we got today

shows that the biggest increases in joblessness are hispaniola americans, asian americans, veterans, and women. since joe biden became president, prices up nearly 17%, real wages down about 3%. people who are being squeezed most by the catastrophe that is bidenomics is the middle class, the working class, and the poor. those are the same groups that the democrats and the biden white house profess to champion the most. they're the ones getting squeezed by their regress i have tax known as inflation. yet this white house is out there trying to put lipstick on a pig. the american people aren't buying it because they cannot survive. just the other day, congressman alexandria ocasio-cortez shared a clip that called inflation propaganda. she is being crushed out there by the middle class and the working class and the poor saying what are you talking about, we

cannot even make ends meet. nobody is buying these lives because they're experiencing this kind of crushing inflationary pressure every day of theirprognosticate. if you have crushing inflation which is regress i have by nature, paycheck to paycheck, credit card debt, student loans resuming, monthly payments on a new house are out of reach, what does that look like, what does that mean say next year, what could it look like? >> the x factor is the student debt, pete, if we have to start paying that back, in other words, if biden doesn't find new ways to keep extending that pause, that's going to be a big factor because this economy has stayed afloat based on spending and there are a lot of people, especially young people, who had more margin in budgets because they weren't paying student loans. if they have to do that, that's going to suck a lot of wind out of the consumer spending, plus, pete, remember this, as interest rates rise,

businesses have to start to refinance debt. corporate debt, commercial property debt. you have $2.5 trillion through 2025 that has to be refinanced. when you get into 2024 and that cost starts going up, these businesses say i can't hire any more, households say yhe might be starting to talk about recession again. >> monica, you can spend this time on bidenomics, going across the country, trying to sell it to people. one debate, one moiment, donald trump can say are you better off now than four years ago. this is a "house of cards" they're building. >> yeah. that famous reagan quote to jimmy carter, actually to the american people, are you better off today than four years ago. the answer to that was so dramatically clear to most of the american people that reagan won in a landslide. you know the difficulty here for joe biden or any democrat that might run for president next year is that the american people

don't have to reach back 40 years to remember a booming economy, they only have to reach back three years to the booming trump economy and they've got very vivid, positive memories of what donald trump delivered for them. they haven't forgotten it. and they're really pissed off at the biden economy. >> that's true. monica crowley, brian b brenberg. thank you. >> the left is refusing to take responsibility. wait until you hear not who but what they're blaming it on. jason rantz, carrie davis have the latest next. our ears connect us to the moments that matter. give them the nutrients they need with lipo. it's formulated with ingredients clinically shown to protect your ears from dizziness, ear ringing, and even hearing loss.

>> welcome back to the special edition of "hannity." if we know one thing about the left, it is that they blame anything for crime except for actual

criminals. in typical fashion, they're now starting to blame cars. claiming a rise in auto thefts is simply because some vehicles are just too easy to steal. one "new york times" op-ed wants car companies like kia and hyundai to pay for the crime wave. in reality if you live in the real world, we know it is the criminals and leaders unwilling to lock them up who are causing businesses and conferences to pack their bags and flee the city in spades has nothing to do with car companies. here now with reaction, author of what's killing america. jason rantz, and host of just listen to yourself podcast, keir a davis. jason, bring me in the mind-set, help me out. you are a good translater of it is not the criminals, not the breakdown of society, not the lawlessness and da's, locking up people, it is too easy. >> there's a lot of space

in the minds of liberals pushing this silly idea. i mean, look, at the end of the day, you and i, we have access to tiktok videos that told us how to steal a kia. guess what. i haven't stolen any. you haven't stolen any. we are not compelled to steal because it is simply easy to do so, you are compelled to steal because you're a bad person. all they're doing, they're taking advantage of the situation. not only the vulnerability security wise of cars but because they know if they are to get constitucharged, they'll only spend a week in jail and that's about it. they'll be released ultimately for time served. because there are no consequences, of course they're going to take advantage of anything they can. >> kira, it is not about the car as jason pointed out, it is lack of consequences afterwards. it is one thing for "new york times" to write about this, it is another when

leaders of the city and state believe those things. i believe you're out of los angeles, you're living this scenario. what's it like? >> it's going about as you think it would, and as a matter of fact, here in the state of california unbelievably to address the rash of smash and grab and robberies and violent crimes that has been plaguing the state, our state assembly has suggested a bill to help store owners, particularly small convenience store owners, guard themselves against crime. guess what the bill does, does it stop the criminals? does it punish criminals more harshly? no, it makes it an offense for a store owner to defend their property while being robbed. not to mention it now creates a new bureaucracy where store owners have to fill out reports, fill out paperwork to send to the state so the state has all the proper statistics.

that's the way they're addressing smash and grab robberies here in california. yeah. it is like sos. send help. >> i heard about this bill. ultimately store owners -- >> i wish it was a joke. >> it feels like a joke, feels like something on the babylon bee. we are going to prosecute store owners that have to defend businesses or the customers in the store. everybody getting free money to hire security guards outside the store or is this just going at store owners. >> you're not allowed to have security guards, that's inviting violence. you can't do anything. you must stand by and watch all your hard earned work and money go out the window. and if you do, you'll be arrested and fined and your business will be punished. it is absolute chaos in this state. don't think what you see on the news is an exaggeration. we're in trouble here. >> jason, same thing. sometimes you sit back and go can it really be that

bad in seattle, really be that bad in san francisco? could it get worse, too, if bills like this take hold? >> absolutely. i think it can get worse. you're looking at specific scenarios in certain cities. it seems like we are watching san francisco, for example, die in real time. i think it is getting to the point where i don't think it can turn things around. we have certain scenarios going on here in seattle, in portland, chicago, atlanta, d.c., the list goes on and on. as i was doing research for my book, i kept hearing from people telling me i was making everything up, especially here in seattle. like oh, what you were reporting on, despite chilling video, i was told it wasn't really happening. and i am surrounded like kira and so many others, people who pretend what we're saying is just figments of our imagination. you have local leaders that refuse to acknowledge a problem, you have activists that say all is well, if you don't like

it, go somewhere else. sorry, i am not going to be kicked out of the city i live because you're too lazy, ideologically bigoted to say no to any circumstance, any solution to what's been going on out on the streets. >> kira, what communities does this end up disproportionately effecting most? >> that's easy. the minority communities are disproportionately effected. los angeles has a huge latino population, even in areas where the black population is suffering, they're always the ones to suffer first. now, it is not a secret that the black community in the united states acted like a canary in a coal mine for many years for the rest of america. some of us saying for years, republicans, democrats, if you don't address various serious issues in our own communities, it is going to spill out into the larger america, into larger america, and it has. so it was so predictable.

but when we were screaming about it, it didn't mean anything. now i think jason is right, some places it is too late. we're going to have to see an utter and total collapse. i want to say this. i know a lot of you say californians, you vote for this, you get what you deserve. i agree with that. in some places like san francisco and l.a., i am not sure we're voting for it. you look at returns of mayoral elections, 7% of the population voting, 7% of the population is about what the makeup of the unions are. so i'm not sure we are voting for this stuff any more. >> interesting. shame on you for having a kia. you can't have a bodyguard. you don't have a second amendment right to defend yourself. >> roll over and take it. >> roll over and take it. thank you. coming up, new york police are using drones to monitor backyard parties this labor day. brings privacy concerns.
