6:00 pm
recruited to run for office. not going to say where or by who might have to add a new title. now we know why biden goes home so often. he needs to check his wires. it came through. alan from connecticut. britney's names are as fake as hunter's laptop. i thought you were going to say as fake as something else. good line. john. i think of the roman empire when i ordered a caesar salad. aaron from texas. that's a great town. my grandmother thinks i can't get my text on your show. prove her wrong. take that, grandma. that's all for us tonight. always remember i'm waters and this is my world.
6:01 pm
>> sean: welcome to t6. bomb show allegations. john solomon with new details. thanks to joe a new border town has emerge, chicago, illinois. thousands of illegal immigrants stream into the windy city. it's residents are are already reeling from a crime crisis that continues to spiral. take a look. >> my brother had the potential to do well in life but christian will never have the opportunity to go to college. >> sean: our friend gianno caldwell will join us in a moment. first joe biden at the uaw picket line in michigan earlier today at least pretending to show his support behind striking autoworkers. they are demanding a large pay increase to keep up with rampant inflation caused by joe biden. they're asking for a 32 hour workweek, something biden could definitely get behind since he
6:02 pm
only works a few hours a week. joe reportedly now makes up late, goes to bed early, spends almost all of his weekends resting and relaxing in delaware and he has taken more days off than any president in history. your 80-year-old commander-in-chief doesn't have the energy, the stamina to deal with the rigors of a traditional presidential schedule. it should be the toughest job in the world. is he up to it? not sure he could be a walmart greeter. another concern from the biden white house. that would be his mobility. look at this report from axios. there is a critical new mission for biden staffers. operation don't let joe fall again. given his frail condition, the president could be one trip away from becoming seriously injured or worse. it could also mean politically his demise. even if biden survives a fall without injury, that might still confirm voters' very real, deep concerns about his age, physical
6:03 pm
strength, cognitive abilities. they are obviously in decline. we're watching it in real-time. according to axios "biden's team is taking extra steps to prevent him from stumbling in public. as he did in june." remember. he has a hard time getting up. he tripped over a sandbag of the air force academy. the steps include regular physical therapy for the president. new slip resistant tennis shoes and of course say bye-bye to the regular steps on air force one. biden's mobility issues have become so bad that he now relies on the short steps, a lower deck on the plane, it's easier to walk up those. anyway, pretty soon i guess even though steps might become more than the president can handle. and you got it, right after they launch this operation, right there, joe slips and loses his footing. thank goodness he didn't fall.
6:04 pm
almost slid down the steps while deplaning. not a great start for operation keep joe from ever falling again. officially the white house has biden struggles with ballots related to arthritis but given his history with brain aneurysms, many experts and common sense americans are more than worried that a degenerative mental condition might very well be to blame. especially given joe struggle with language and short-term memory. the sin divide and describe initiative to bolster the u.s. pacific island partnership, an important alliance given china's aggression. >> strong growth begins with a strong infrastructure so today i'm pleased to announce american congress to invest $40 billion in our pacific islands infrastructure initiative. we call it the pi, anyway. doesn't matter what we call it. that's what it is. i was going to get back to acronyms.
6:05 pm
i'm gonna not do that. >> sean: why bother remembering an acronym? who cares what we call it. whatever your politics, most rational americans can honestly agree that your president joe biden lacks the mental acuity to be an effective president. would you hire him to be a walmart greeter? and it's only getting worse. for some reason, joe is running for reelection. why? honestly, who thinks that's a good idea? according to an nbc news poll, two-thirds of democratic voters want somebody other than biden to run. these are unprecedented numbers. joe biden is in deep trouble. naturally he turned to a world-renowned loser hillary clinton for advice. she reportedly is wanting him to "take seriously" the possibility of third-party candidates and siphoning off votes. she should probably also tell joe about wisconsin. she forgot to visit that state in 2016. something maybe deep down inside
6:06 pm
she deeply regrets as she continues her election to nihilism. i say they're going to do it again. trump is going to work with russia again. you only want to work with russia is her with her dirty dossier she paid for. joe has been hit hard by liberals i never thought we would see attacking democratic president. maureen dowd, david ignatius can even liberal joe, david axelrod, van jones, james carville. carville hit him again when he went on bill maher's podcast and hit them even harder. unfortunately for democrats ignoring all the advice and at this point, he can barely keep up with his day job much less nonstop action of a campaign side of course, few rare appearances away from the east coast and coupled private fund-raisers. when he's at the fund-raisers, now we have reports he tells this story a few minutes later to the same group tells the story again.
6:07 pm
what is that a sign of? not really campaigning. he will be in the basement bunker soon enough. despite all the bad polls, he is treating his reelection campaign like a carnation. even today's photo op lasted all of 15 minutes including a five minute speech. let's be clear. he doesn't care what is happening in these negotiations. that was just a show appearance. the only show -- he only shut up because joe is hemorrhaging support among union workers and frankly for good reason. hit his radical green new deal policies hold many other jobs will be lost. electric vehicles means less uaw workers are needed. between the environmental regulations, corporate taxes, the electric vehicle quotas, union factories in michigan will be unaffordable. all the remaining jobs will be exported or automated. this is another inconvenient truth for democrats and unions. middle-class joe has always
6:08 pm
been, continues to be a farce. he might be at the picket line today that he sides with the elitists, the climate alarmists, religious cult members. 100% of the time. despite their humble roots, both joe and dr. jill biden, they are disgusted by the middle class. they are longtime social climbers who will do whatever it takes to fit in with the blue bloods of washington, d.c. they want to be invited to the parties. today's elites, they just care more about their climate alarmism, lacking in science and good paying american jobs. meanwhile, what would donald trump do? he would actually help the uaw out and help them keep their great career paying jobs by hitting china like he did before with massive tariffs. anyway, joining a stuffer machine with a full report from biden's brief appearance at the picket lines, sara carter joins us to mine. >> hey, sean.
6:09 pm
joe biden, president joe biden spent a whopping 12 minutes with the uaw workers outside the plant today and i can tell you that the time i spent with hundreds of workers walking up and down the line, it was stunning to see how they had turned on the administration. none of them actually bought the visit. they said that they were concerned it was more political than it was supportive and they had a lot to say. take a listen. >> do you think president biden's arrival here in michigan today is a show of support or a show of politics? >> it's all about politics, trying to get votes. >> do you feel like him showing up right now is a show? >> it is a show. just to help the ev economy. >> for a lot of people. it's just too expensive. that's been the big deal.
6:10 pm
>> can't even afford the products we make now and that's a big problem. >> do you trust the show of support coming from washington right now? do you think it's going to mean something in the end? >> all i can do is hope that it does. all of this it's happening, everything from the president coming out, every one coming out to support, it's all in hopes that we can see some kind of change. >> do you feel like the american workers being ignored? >> absolutely. >> they didn't forget us during the pandemic because during the pandemic we was building cars and trucks. >> we was working. >> sean, they say the white house's push and president joe biden's push for this green agenda with electric vehicles is actually pushing them out of the workforce. they say they won't stand for it. inflation is high and they are wondering what's next. they're going to continue to picket and as they continue to picket and this joe biden got into his vehicle, he headed straight back to his plane,
6:11 pm
flying to california, to silicon valley for a fund-raiser. >> sean: sara carter, great reporting. joining us now with more is the host of "tomi lahren's fearless" and former senior advisor to president trump, stephen miller. tomi, operation keeps joe biden from falling on his face, didn't have a great first day because he nearly fell on his face again going down the shorter steers of air force one. you really can't make that up, can you? >> know and it's pretty sad that we are at this point where we are worried that the leader of the free world can get on and off stairs. even the smaller stairs. you have to wonder what the rest of the world's thinking. our enemies are waiting to pounce and they see this man who can't even take the kitty stairs and if there's ever a time to pounce, and i would be the time and there is no coincidence you have tens of thousands of people coming across our border each and every single week. they see this man that can't mount and get up the stairs on his own and they know that this
6:12 pm
is the time for them to take over america, to come for everything we have. our enemy sees it. pollutant sees it, the ayatollah sees it, the world sees it. how embarrassing. let's make sure that the president doesn't fall down today. and the vice president could be potentially worse. that's for the democrat party is. gavin newsom is loving this more than anybody else i have a feeling. >> sean: i think so. but he swears up and down, left and right, that he's not running under any circumstances. stephen miller. as i look at all of this today, he goes to label the acronym, oh, it doesn't matter what we call it because he couldn't remember it. they have -- nearly falls on the first day of operation don't let biden fall again. then of course you put that on top of what we learned last week. he bumps into a slick bowl, doesn't shake the hand of his
6:13 pm
brazilian counterpart could buy wanders away. every single time he opens his mouth. even when it's not a disaster, it is mumbling, bumbling, almost incoherent from him. it's obviously his cognitive issues are getting worse and it's impacting his physical health as well. how do they stick with this guy? >> the pace of the decline is accelerating quickly, sean. let's not mince words. this is a horror show. the white house placed a story today about operation don't like joe trippi or they're going to put him in comfy support sneakers and they are going to have him go up the little staircase, the back entrance to air force one. the man nearly toppled down a flight of stairs. he cannot put two sentences,
6:14 pm
coherently together, as you say he is mumbling in bumbling and stumbling. not to mention the whole trip which was clearly in response to president trump going down to speak to the autoworkers is completely nonsensical. they are protesting joe biden's policies. it's his climate policies, his energy mandates. it's his trade policies, his inflation. his bad economy. it's driving down wages and living conditions and employment opportunities for autoworkers and we have a president that can't speak, can't talk, can't walk, can't move. his economic policies are leading to ruination for america's working and middle-class. >> sean: it was reported, we don't have it on tape, tomi. it was widely reported about this incident when he was with a group of, doing a fund-raiser, a group of supporters, financial supporters. i don't know if you have ever met anyone that has dementia, even early onset or alzheimer's.
6:15 pm
it is sad, tragic. i have seen it up close and personal. you don't wish that on anybody. but with that said, one of the classic symptoms of this type of cognitive decline is what happened at this private meeting he told a story and then a few minutes later, not remembering that he just told the story, told it again. another characteristic would be people ask you a question and you give them an answer in a few minutes later they'll ask you the question again in 10 minutes after that they might even ask it another time. very classic symptoms that are no beginning to become very public. so i mean we can only imagine the shape he is going to be in a year from now. >> they can't hide this much longer, sean and they know that and that's why there was a panic mode going on right now at the dnc because they know they have to get rid of joe. they are not really worried
6:16 pm
about that. i don't think they worry too much about pushing them off to the side. they worry what they're going to do but there kamala situation. they can get joe out of the way but how did they get over, harris? how do they install gavin newsom over kamala harris because kamala harris is quite frankly their worst nightmare. i think it's interesting. gavin swears up and out he's not running but you have to listen to the way he says it. he's not going to run against joe. it's not as if he's not going to be the replacement for joe. the way he discusses this, i hang on every single word he says so make no mistake. the democrats, they are done with joe, tired of joe. they can't hide this much longer but they've got to figure out there kamala situation. they pushed the identity politics and don't know how to leapfrog her for the white man from california with a good hair. that's a hard sell back to the party built her own identity politics. >> sean: stephen miller. last word. >> they are in an impossible
6:17 pm
situation and they have no way out. they can't get around the kamala harris problem because i have lived by identity politics. they have been at their highest order so they can't go around her to get to gavin newsom but they can't get rid of joe biden. ultimately it's going to be a total train wreck. plus they have rfk jr. who maybe will run as a third party. they don't know what to do but my advice to republicans, keep your eye on the ball, keep the investigations going. do not stop until the facts are uncovered. >> sean: cornell west, rfk jr. maybe. libertarian party, then the no labels party. that's a lot of potential third-party competition. all right, thank you both. thank you, tomi. stephen miller. coming up, hunter biden is suing former new york city mayor rudy giuliani. a growing number of democrats calling for senator bob menendez to resign. they don't seem to care about the biden scandals. menendez is less than a million
6:18 pm
dollars. 18 democrats want him out. are they paying attention to the tens and tens of millions of dollars of the biden syndicate? anyway, we'll go through that, straight ahead.
6:19 pm
6:20 pm
6:21 pm
- [speaker] at first, just leaving the house was hard. - [speaker] but wounded warrior project helps you realize it's possible to get out there - [speaker] to feel sense of camaraderie again. - [speaker] to find the tools to live life better. - [narrator] through generous community support, we've connected warriors and their families with no cost physical and mental health services, legislative advocacy, career assistance, and life skill training for 20 years, and we are just getting started. - wounded warrior project has been with me every step of my journey. - they've helped me realize it's possible to rise to the top again. - it's possible to get the help i need for me and my family.
6:22 pm
- it's possible to hate pushups again. - to feel understood. - to begin healing both inside and out. - to feel like myself again. - and now i know anything is possible. (gentle music) >> sean: another day, another troubling development for hunter biden. according to new reports the white house and house ways and means committee are preparing to release even more sensitive information. earlier today zero experience hunter actually filed a lawsuit against former new york city mayor rudy giuliani resorting to the left's favorite talking point, accusing him of hacking his laptop from hell. he said i have no idea if that's my laptop.
6:23 pm
breaking report show former u.s. ambassador ukraine. during the ukrainian impeachment. maria yovanovitch. she apparently met twice a burisma official after being told that the firm was allegedly corrupt. john sullivan took what solomon joins us with more. >> good to be with you. >> sean: remember that name, a blast from the past. here's the interesting part. she was kind of sanctimonious about the whole issue of trumps impeachment so she has warned this company is corrupt and yet still meets with company executives. explain that one. >> let's take everybody back to the 2019 time frame. she was the investor who ordered her staff to monitor yours and mine and other conservative social media was raising questions about burisma. it's an issue that's been out there. during the impeachment
6:24 pm
proceedings against president trump she said she didn't know anything about burisma except when she learned her first briefing on what she read in the newspaper. we later learned she got several briefings, one from one of the lawyers representing burisma. another face-to-face meeting with one of breese was blue star strategy lobbyists who were trying to lobby the state department to drop the corruption story about burisma. now we know in 2017, the first year donald trump was president, she had not one but two meetings with someone. the burisma official most regularly dealt with hunter biden. hunter biden's handler while burisma was paying all those millions. two stages with the ambassador. official events at the u.s.-ukraine chamber of congress or business council. man representing a company with a state department repeatedly said we don't want to deal with. he is corrupt, don't go near him. maria is out of edge sent an
6:25 pm
email to john mccain staff saying don't go near burisma. she has not one but two meetings in 2017. the only reason we did not find out about these in the 2019 impeachment, these web posts were deleted. we were alerted to them via state farm and official who remembered them and we found them in the internet archives. somebody wipe them off the internet so he wouldn't know about them during the 2019 impeachment proceedings against donald trump >> sean: do you have any idea what the g.o.p. is about to release as it relates hunter biden? the house ways and means committee. now voting to disclose more secrets. you know what they are? >> i think i do, yeah. based on my reporting, we will see with a vote out tomorrow. as an fbi interview with james biden. we will see if that gets released. calendar and notations of the october 2022 meeting where agents confronted u.s. attorney weiss about not bringing charges against hunter biden.
6:26 pm
there are other summaries of the case included some prepared by prosecutor shown clearly they planned to charge hunter biden with failing to pay taxes on his burisma income. the income we were just talking about. there also could be some important other evidence they were looking at including the idea that agents had developed a case that joe biden's campaign had benefited from illegal campaign cognitions because a third party was paying hunter biden's tax bills during the 2020 election and afterwards. that is some of the stuff that could get voted out today or weeks ahead. but a lot of court evidence that was turned over by gary shapley, joe ziegler, the irs whistle-blowers, could come out tomorrow. there's also two more irs agents who have given testimony that corroborate shapley and zigler and those could be voted out in the coming days. >> sean: john solomon. justthenews.com. thank you. since his indictment on federal bribery charges was unsealed, growing number of senate
6:27 pm
democrats have called for bob menendez to resign. my question is, why are some on the left, democrats calling for menendez to resign over corruption allegations. but not joe. here with mark, fox news contributor jason chaffetz. good to see you, sir. i look at these charges against menendez, they are serious. that he breached official duty, benefited the government of egypt. they talk about $480,000 in cash. most of it all around his house, suit jacket with his name on it. another 70 grand. his wife safe-deposit box. all these big gold bars and him googling the price of a bar. some of the more damning evidence as the envelopes with cash in it, dna belonging to the people they believe gave it to him. all told, added up i am looking at 750,000. under a million. here we have the biden family syndicate. we are talking about money from
6:28 pm
china, money from russia. top geopolitical photos. romania, ukraine. kazakhstan, mexico. both nancy mace, she said to me as has james comer, the save them money to the bidens alone exceed and be north of 50 million. there is a plethora of evidence in my view that in fact joe biden lied, repeatedly had meetings, phone conversations, dinners with the foreign business partners of hunter. certainly the timeline doesn't look good. five days before he leveraged a billion dollars in ukraine. got a call from burisma executives. they were in dubai. five days later, guess what the prosecutor, their problem where they needed d.c. help went away. why haven't any democrats focused on that? >> you would think there would be some intellectual curiosity. i am glad to hear the democrats
6:29 pm
joined republicans in saying that senator menendez should no longer be serving. i wonder why senator schumer is the majority leader, allowed him after the first indictment, it was a hung jury but the senate ethics committee came out and severely reprimanded the man but still made him the chairman. today you have cory booker coming out and saying yeah, my colleague from new jersey shouldn't be in the senate and when you have senator fetterman of all people telling you you should probably step down, that's probably a pretty good indication it's time to hang up your cleats. but you know what the prosecutors to their business. they did a behind the scenes. they came up with a compelling case. but hunter biden, it's been going on for years and there's not a single thing that's going on in that case, no curiosity, no hearings, no encouragement to go find the truth and in hunter biden's case, voice mails, text messages, photographs, meetings, white house logs, flight
6:30 pm
manifests, suspicious activity reports. money transferring by the millions of dollars. and they are silent. >> sean: shell corporations. according to comer, nine biden family members identified as getting paid, paid for what? what do the grandchildren get paid for? how does hunter get millions of dollars from the energy conglomerate in ukraine, the energy conglomerate in china with no experience in energy? that's a great gig if you can get it. >> $100,000 go to joe biden's grandkids and democrats will look you in the eye and say joe biden got no benefit. are you kidding me? $100,000 to the grandkids. explain that to me. it never has made any sense and they are not going to do it. >> sean: jason chaffetz, thank you. when we come back, biden's border crisis continue to spiral out of control affecting not only border towns but also american cities, every city is
6:31 pm
now a border town. we'll break it all down and we'll check in with the great victor davis hanson and get his take straight ahead.
6:32 pm
6:33 pm
(vo) in three seconds, pam will decide... (pam) i'm moving closer to the grandkids! wait. i got to sell the house! (vo) don't wait, just sell directly to opendoor. easy as pie. (pam) piece of cake. (vo) whichever. get your competitve offer at opendoor.com.
6:34 pm
6:35 pm
>> sean: joe biden's border crisis has gone from bad to worse and democrats are sounding the alarm. former obama homeland security secretary jeh johnson warning that the border could swing the election in donald trump's favor. take a look at this. >> purely political terms, you want to maximize donald trump's chance of reelection, failed to deal with this problem. this will turn our politics upside down. >> sean: devoid of any real leadership from the president or border czar, elon musk announced he's going to visit the border to see the crisis in person. why hasn't kamala gone to the
6:36 pm
parts of the border that matter? a crisis that's reached every corner of the u.s., forming blue states to take extreme action. look at these reports. new york city now preparing to spend an extra $1 billion on hotels alone. to shelter legal immigrants for years to come, their average is $40 million a year and of course they expect to spend a whopping $12 billion because of joe's illegal immigrants showing up in new york city. here with reaction, hoover institution senior fellow victor davis hanson. in the case of new york, you look at the $40,000 figure and then you look at the $15 billion price tag, $12 billion price tag that they expected the next 18 months and then you have a governor who prided herself like a mayor of new york, that prided himself and being open to
6:37 pm
illegal immigrants. they are saying don't come to new york. if you come here, don't come here, if you come to the united states, don't show up in new york. while. what happened. >> it is self interest. i wish jeh johnson would've said maybe a year ago when the first two or three or 4 million illegal immigrants, this is not sustainable to the united states. the only reason he is commenting as he says it's not sustainable to the democratic party in 2024. that is ditto of all of the northern mayors and governors. they didn't care what it was a problem that red states and the south had or the united states in general. you know it's weird, sean. i've never seen a policy. maybe you haven't either. where there is no defense of it. nobody, mr. mayorkas, biden, kamala harris. new orleans has we want to let in 8 million illegal entries because black -- fill in the blank.
6:38 pm
new constituents. they say that the border is secure. >> sean: how big an issue. the american people are watching. they know that they are being lied to when they say the border is close on the border is secure. the audacity of them to even s say. we have eyes to see, it's clear as day what's going on. and yet they still are aiding and abetting in the lawbreaking. they are still forcing this upon states. now it is blue state governors and blue state mayors that are getting really angry because of the cost to them medicine like joey's jumping into support them financially. these states, new york state is thinking about an illegal immigrant tax on top of every other tax. >> i think it's a dangerous issue, it is up there with the economy that cuts across ideological and political winds. you see the price of gas. diesel fuel is $6.20 in
6:39 pm
california. that cuts a lot of republican, democratic differences. i think in this case this particular issue enrages people along the border, enrages people in northern cities that have to deal with it. it enrages the african american community that sees some of their social services interrupted it enrages middle-class workers. they feel they are going to be undercut by cheap wages. enrages the citizens of the united states when they have to fly and then show a passport or they are told to get a vaccination in the military and we have a whole set of exemptions from people who are citizens of mexico and central america. maybe elsewhere in the world. in other words, they are thinking this administration thinks i'm not as worthless much of the foreign national. it is demonstrably untrue. i think it's going to unite republicans, democrats, independents. jeh johnson is right about that but i wish she'd been more rate
6:40 pm
about the impact or influence on the united states than the democratic party. >> sean: i guess he is more caring about the politics of it now because he thinks it's going to impact the democrats negatively. victor davis hanson, as always, thank you, sir. straight ahead tonight, biden continues to plummet in the polls, all eyes on tomorrow's g.o.p. primary debate. our very own dana perino is going to be one of the moderators with stuart varney. she is next as we continue.
6:41 pm
6:42 pm
- they slept on me for 15 years. things i collected, pollen, dust, dander. all that time they could have protected me with an allerease mattress protector. it would've been soft and blocked 99.9% of dust, dirt, and allergens. allerease for a clean, healthy night's sleep.
6:43 pm
6:44 pm
>> sean: tomorrow night's g.o.p. primary debate will be hosted by our sister network, the fox business network so of course the economy will be front and center. 46% of g.o.p. primary voters in
6:45 pm
the latest fox business poll now say the economy is the most important issue. so called bidenomics. not going well for most americans. latest nbc news poll showing 72% of americans saying they are dissatisfied with the economy. not a good number. taking the stage tomorrow night will be ron desantis, nikki haley, vivek ramaswamy, tim scott, mike pence, chris christie and of course doug burgum. as well as our two colleagues, stuart varney and dana perino serving as he debate moderators. dana joins us now from the reagan library in beautiful simi valley with preview. dana, how are you? >> look, sean, i'm great. i know you've been out here before, it's a beautiful location then a perfect night to have a debate tomorrow night. >> sean: totally agree. i don't know if you have posted a debate before. >> noel. >> sean: i think you're going to be great and i think there's
6:46 pm
a lot of talk about. i mean, usually we are told the peace and prosperity drive elections. 61% of americans living paycheck to paycheck. i would imagine it's going to have an impact on the election. your thoughts. >> it's very interesting. you remember in 1980, president reagan for that election, his campaign slogan was, are you better off today than you were four years ago? and presidential candidates have used that ever since when they are challenging the incumbent. and today abc "washington post" poll says that today that number is the lowest it has been since they started asking the question. as you mentioned in your open. president biden is in a terrible, we can position as an incumbent so the republicans do have an opportunity but i think they have to get more specific and they have in the past and in this debate we intend to press them and how they would make the economic conditions better in the country as quickly as possible for people who are really feeling it. >> sean: so much of this to me is rooted in energy.
6:47 pm
it we are back up to $4 on average for a gallon of gasoline. costs more to heat and cool your home. every product, every american buys in every store they go to now cost more because of the higher shipping costs associated with it. to me, this is like self-inflicted wound. this, all of this is unnecessary. the border chaos is unnecessary. economic energy prices, unnecessary. these are all policies that he has pushed and implemented and is having a huge impact on society at large and yet they are bragging about it. they are saying bidenomics. i'm not sure if that will come to bite them or not. i would think it will. >> i think it was. i think the summer that they tried that and unfortunately for them they are stuck in this position where they will say three things. one, they will say bidenomics is working, you just don't understand it yet. how condescending. then they'll say the border disclosed. the border is fine.
6:48 pm
that's clearly not true and sean, as an issue that one is creeping up higher and higher in terms of concerns. republicans and democrats. the third thing they will say is no one at the white house can keep up with joe biden. he is so energetic and useful. no one is buying that either. the issue areas people say they are concerned about, something they can't answer. so one of the challenges for the republican candidates tomorrow night, everybody on stage thinks they would be up better president than joe biden and they think they would be a better president than former president trump here how do they break out of that pack? president trump's lead to so commanding. seemingly enduring. one of these people needs to have a breakout moment so they can say i should be the main rival to president trump in this contest so i expect some fireworks. possibly some aggression but i hope to lighten up a little bit as well. >> sean: i like the lighten up part. we need a little humor in every situation. how you deal with the audience
6:49 pm
getting out of control. how you deal with the candidates not listening to your time is up. that always becomes a needle you've got to thread if you the moderator. >> i was thinking back, your viewers today might not know that stuart varney and i were first given an opportunity to be on television together because of you. we did a hit every tuesday night together on your show and it really helped us form a great friendship and he's got that terrific british accent and i told him i am going to make sure that he's helping me keep control of the room because everybody will listen to a british accent like that. >> sean: dana, thank you. all right, we come back, our very own general caldwell shows very, very powerful testimony at the house judiciary committee's hearing on violent crime. it took place in chicago.ar he he joins us straight ahead.in ♪i've got a choice, more than one answer.♪ ♪i sat down with my doc.♪

>> sean: this to the of chicago in big trouble yet again
6:54 pm
tonight as the left soft-on-crime policies continue to let violent criminals back onto the streets. so far 444 people have been murdered this year alone. today house republicans, they took action. travel to the windy city for hearing on violent crime. gianno caldwell, our friend and colleague, his brother, as you recall, was murdered in chicago, had this to say during his testimony. take a look. >> my brother christian had the potential to do well in life. i still remember the day when he begged me to take him on a college tour out-of-state when he was just 16 years old. we went. christian will never have the opportunity to go to college or to get married or have kids or build a career. so many other youth in chicago have experienced the same reality. >> sean: fox news clinical analyst gianno caldwell is with
6:55 pm
us tonight that i want to give you a lot of credit. your opening statement, soft-on-crime policies took my brother and destroyed chicago, the sound i love -- to tell my love. you started in public service at 14. you get this call, june 24th last year. you and i have stayed in touch about this issue for a long time. i am very proud of what you've been doing. the advocacy you have taken on and i believe you for having an impact but it's not happening soon enough. 444 people this year alone, gianno. every one of these human souls created by god with talent, we are losing our national treasures, starting with your innocent brother. >> yes. and before we even get started, i cannot thank you enough since
6:56 pm
this tragedy hit my family. you have been a big brother. you've been a mentor. you have been advising me. you've been a dear friend. i can't thank you enough for always being willing to answer my call and amount of time of night, no matter if it's weekend, whatever, you are always available and i cannot thank you enough i need everyone to know the angel presents you've brought to me. but yet you're absolutely correct. our treasure, our national treasure in chicago especially is being stolen. i know that there is a ton of potential in the city of chicago among our old and young alike. unfortunately that potential largely exists in graveyards across the city of chicago. we are now in a position where we can actually meet the same numbers we did in terms of violent crime as we did the previous two years. two years ago we had the most murders and a quarter of the century in the city of chicago. there needs to be light on that because people like brandon
6:57 pm
johnson, violent crime has increased about 29% because criminals know they are not going to be held accountable when it comes to the brandon johnson administration, when it comes the kim foxx administration. j.b. pritzker, the governor of illinois who signed into law the safety act which provides no safety for the people who live here, sean. i am upset. i am pissed the hell off. what i've seen in the city of chicago. thank god for jim jordan who brought his here. thank god for chairman bigs who brought the committee here. thank god for these individuals shining light on what's going on in the city of chicago because we are in desperate need for federal help. these are the only individuals who are willing to answer that call. >> sean: as much as it broke my heart watching you today, it was so powerful what you did as a friend i'm just proud of you. i have been telling you.
6:58 pm
since 2009 i have been scrolling names on the show, all people shot, shot and killed in chi chicago. names that no one is going to recognize. these names aren't recognized because they couldn't be turned into a political football. that to me drives me insane. they have done nothing to fix this, as evidenced by what happened last year to your brother. >> that's right. 2.7 million people live here within the city of chicago. 29% of that population is black. last year 80% of the murders were black. we saw a democrat who, congressman jim jordan and the committee had made every arrangement for. they said we want to have the ability to remote into the hearing and they said we will do that. then they said we're not going to go because is not politically advantageous. they scream black lives matter
6:59 pm
and yet they don't come to chicago where 80% of people murdered last year were black. how dare the unde democrats on t committee disrespect the voices. people are inferior. i'm downtown right now in the studio. i have to watch my back when i walk out of here because i don't know if there's going to be a bully coming from anywhere. that's what people are feeling about what part of the town of chicago you're in. it's unfortunate, unacceptable. things need to change and i completely grateful for you. you, the network, suzanne scott our ceo for allowing me to have the spot for him to tell the story because it's incredibly important. this is an american city, this should not be happening in any american city. it's unfortunate that this is where we are. i'm going to use my voice every chance i've got. it's my mission in life to
7:00 pm
change the trajectory here in the city of chicago. >> sean: let me tell you >> sean: you are making a difference. your outspoken voice will save lives. i pray to god i'm right. great to see you, my friend. many prayers for you and your family. that is all the time we have left. quick programming note and after the second republican presidential debate, we will be live from the postdebate spin room in california. ron desantis vivek ramaswamy, nikki haley, tim scott, mike pence, and yeah, even gavin newsom. all that are joining us on the set. all right. that is all the time we have tonight. set your dvr so you never miss an episode of "hannity." let not your heart be troubled. a gutfeld is standing by to put a smile on your face. have a great night.
