seeing the candidates because they have to win that, it is not surprising, and it was very predictable, actually come about a week before i was telling people in the newsroom, there is no way harris can keep her stance on fracking and when pennsylvania paid what did she do? she change her position on fracking. >> sandra: she sure did. seemed to really be owning that. and somehow talked about her positions evolving. okay, thank you very much, bob, good to have you on p. >> thanks so much beard. >> sandra: good to talk to you. of course, as we look forward, the debate will be the next moment where each candidate can present their views clearly to the american voter. thanks for joining us, be sure to catch me and john roberts up for america reports 1:00 p.m. eastern on fox news. now look forward to "the five." ♪ ♪ >> greg: interesting pure hi,

greg gutfeld one with judge jeanine pirro, jessica tarlov, jesse watters, and she is too short to ride "it's a small world." dana perino. "the five." ♪ ♪ donald trump and elon musk are about to make government great again. if that's possible. the former president outlining his economic plan during a speech in nyc, vowing to slash more regulations and push for a government efficiency commission, or gec, and it is helmed by musk. >> the suggestion of elon musk, i will create a government efficiency commission task with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government. elon, because he is not very busy, has agreed to head that task force. my plan will rapidly defeat inflation, quickly bring down prices, and reignite explosive economic growth. kamala harris will take more

money out of american pockets. these are radical left lunatics. and you can't let them run your country. >> greg: and while trump and musk plot new ways to make government run better, kamala backers on her plan that would kill american capitalism p. >> you create a company and it gets to $100 million or $200 million on paper. after taxing that you are probably going to force that person to sell it. you really want the entrepreneurs to be forced to sell their companies to larger institutions and to decline in value? >> if you tax unrealized gains you are going to kill the stock market. and it is going to be the ultimate employment plan for private equity. because companies are not going to go public because you can get -- >> greg: stunning confession from mark cuban, jessica. he is a kamala supporter.

and he claims that this unrealized tax will destroy the stock market but then he has it is just a start. doesn't look good for kamala, does it? >> jessica: i had it made that connection. i wonder if she will take these criticisms onboard beard ro khanna is actually a surrogate for the harris-walz campaign, so it is a big deal he went out and said i don't think this plan is something that should be implemented and even if you are earning -- it is for people over $100 million but it is unreasonable and maybe they will go back and they will deal with that but she did roll out a plan yesterday that was widely praised across the aisle appeared barney was loving the $50,000 in deductions if you are starting a small business. that is something that has been a priority for the biden-harris administration at that will continue in even greater numbers during the harris-walz administration, coming to you soon. >> greg: raise taxes on small businesses -- >> jessica: no, well, doesn't make any sense that there would be 430,000 applications for small businesses, which is over 50% more than 2019, if it wasn't

a good time to be a small business owner. but today was also about donald trump's economic speech, and we watched a lot of it, and i would dare any of you to listen to his answer on child care and tell me what the hell he was talking about. it was one of the more incoherent things i've ever heard pure he dictators are going to pay for everything. we know they are a tax on the consumer. this highlights a big problem, everyone is saying trump is so transparent and trump is out there that is all that matters. what matters is the content of what he is saying and none of it is explainable. this issue, which is a big priority for people, obviously essential plank of what is going on in the harris campaign, he doesn't have an answer beside tariffs and j.d. vance yesterday was talking about how grandma and grandpa do more, but that in for people. going to half energy prices come a drill, baby, drill, even though we are producing more oil than we ever have before, leadig the world, more tax cuts for the rich, and tariffs are the only way we are going to be paying for it. >> greg: i think tariffs are

designed -- >> jessica: they don't work that way. >> greg: look, i know -- >> jessica: you know what? >> greg: i know tariffs. >> jessica: i dated tariffs. [laughter] i will take that as a victory. >> greg: you can have it. i'm not that interested in the topic. this title iv musk they have the word efficiency, which is the oi guess anyone who can deal with the biggest problem we are facing, which is the debt, it's got to be musk, that's all he does is tackle big problems. >> dana: i would love to hear donald trump talk more about that. i asked today, what are -- tim martel was on -- the president is going to talk about spending cuts beard could you give an example? not going to do it here. okay, fine, but i would like to hear more about that. in trump's first term his deregulation agenda united the republican party and someone like ro khanna might not e admit

it publicly. republicans love efficiency. and also independent voters especially women voters believe that regulations are something that are causing prices to go up. they are not wrong. talking more about this is not a bad thing. i do want to say, her idea on unrealized gains is so bad, it makes the price gouging one look good. >> greg: so true. judge, musk designs rockets, he built the most successful car company in recent history, he helped change the lives of paralyzed people with these brain chips. and he backs trump. shouldn't that be kind of a message to the undecided that like the smartest dude in the world thinks trump is the best choice? >> judge jeanine: well, if the undecided was smart, you would think they would agree with that, but the truth is most people would, except that when elon musk started talking about free speech and it didn't go with the lefts agenda, then all of a sudden, irrespective of what he has done for the

environment, irrespective of electric cars, he is really not a good guy, but the bottom line is that neither trump nor musk play by the establishment rules, and when you just look at the waste in our government. they can come up with all of these ridiculous ideas, and i think the unearned tax on on the unearned earnings is just a second mess that she has made come along with the price-fixing come all right? nothing that she said has been said to be a real success, but at the end of the day, the department of defense has failed in the last six years all of their audits. they have a budget of $776 billion, and they can't get through an audit. they don't know where the money goes. and i think it's about time we had businessmen who looked at our government and tried to figure out where the money goes. then you bring on rfk, a guy who

knows and understands environmental protection, and how it can protect us, and musk, and when you have mark cuban saying that kamala's idea of the unearned tax credit is going to kill the stock market, and grow, saying the same thing, now these are democrats, then you realize it is simply about the numbers come all right? kamala believes in government control, high interest rate, the cost of living is higher than ever, taxes are higher than ever, border crossings are higher than ever. you can't fake the numbers. >> greg: there you go. jesse, you know, trump's first term probably not some of the greatest tires. i think we can admit omarossa let us down, scaramucci. this time it is different come he knows what he needs and you start seeing people like rfk and musk attracted to this idea, this is not going to be the same. >> jesse: it is going to be fun to watch musk and tucker at

rfk jr. just wandering around the white house while jessica just freaks out. jessica, if tariffs are so bad why did joe and kamala leave all trump tariffs in against china, why didn't they take them out? they left them all pure yes, they did, jessica. name one they took off. you can't because you didn't. listen, jessica, let me explain something. one way we can get rid of the bloat is to just go line by line on some of these earmarks. look at what democrats want. $850,000 for bus stop equity in california. i don't think you could ask plane that, either. how about $500,000 for an antiracist oyster reef, all right? or how about $850,000 to put solar panels on a tiny prison on a pacific island i can't even pronounce? you start there. but most of the bloat in government's health care, and if

you bring rfk jr. in, we can -- >> jessica: no one has any health care. >> jesse: we can stop spending all of this money on treating the symptoms, you know, because most of the federal budget is medicare, so if you go and make america healthy again, and you stop the food industry from poisoning the country, and you change our lifestyle, we are not going to have to spend hundreds of billions of dollars treating a sick and unhappy country. >> jessica: okay, please someone cut that into an ad right now. cut this into a trump ad to play for seniors saying you know we are going to do? we are going to come after medicare. >> jesse: you never said -- >> jessica: dana is smiling, you did. >> dana: smiling at the two of you. >> jessica: what are you taking, jesse? what chickens on treadmills are you taking out of medicare? >> jesse: you reduce medicare spending -- >> jessica: the most popular program -- >> je >> jesse: make people healthy so they don't need so much health care appeared. >> jessica: feeding them vegetables? >> jesse: yes, that's a great

idea, instead of chips all day, maybe people exercise and eat food -- >> greg: all right, we've got a fox news alert. hunter biden, there you go, thank you for that. shocking. federal prosecutors on the first day of his criminal tax trial changing his not guilty plea to guilty. let's go to jonathan hunt. >> greg, an extraordinary end to what has been a bizarre and dramatic day. in the last few minutes, hunter biden has pled guilty to each of those nine tax related charges against him, and judge marks cossey has now set a sentencing date of december 16th. we are awaiting hunter biden's departure from the courthouse. a began with an unusual arrival, dropped off curbside by secret service went at every other hearing in this case he has been driven into an underground garage. that is when we thought this might be an unusual day, than

abbe lowell, one of his lead attorneys, dropped the bombshell he wanted to change his plea, hunter biden, to guilty. there was an objection from the department of justice prosecutors because they said he was trying to enter a guilty plea while at the same time under what is called an author plea maintaining his innocence, so then there was some back and forth between the two sides. ultimately the prosecution were allowed to read the entire 56--page indictment this afternoon in court and then judge scarsi went through each of those nine charges, said how do you plead? in each case, hunter biden said guilty and the court chose to accept what judge scarsi is calling an open plea rather than an author plea, so bottom line hunter biden has no pled guilty to those nine tax fraud-related charges and he will be sentenced on december 16th.

the maximum sentence he can receive, 17 years in prison and a million dollars in fines. president biden has said all along, of course come he will neither pardon hunter biden, or indeed in this gun case, neither will he commute the sentence. of course, president biden said those things before he decided not to run again for the presidency. so sentencing december 16th. we will see what president biden on his way out of the white house in january then it does. greg? >> greg: thank you! jesse. >> jesse: greg. >> jesse: judge jeanine pirro. >> greg: back to you, jesse peered. >> jesse: he goes in and we think we are getting a trial, not getting a trial. what does this do to the judge? does that change away the judge is going to sentence? >> judge jeanine: any time you get to the day of trial and have a jury waiting there, usually well over 100 people, the whole ambience of the courthouse changes bear the prosecutors are on their game get abbe lowell

should be on his game except abl knew he wasn't going to be trying or defending hunter biden, so the issue that is so shocking is that these two, the prosecution and abbe lowell, had conspired to have this plea deal that had never been done in the history of the department of justice, to pull the wool over the judge's eyes. judge saw through it. they were trying to give hunter immunity in perpetuity, which means forever, and in the end, the judge threw it out, okay? so now what you've got is they come in and they say we wanted alford plea. and alford plea essentially means you are not going to plead guilty but you concede that the prosecution put out all of the evidence, you would be found guilty. and alford plea is very unusual, it is constitutionally acceptable. it is rarely done. in my office, we have 40,000 cases a year. i remember one alford plea that

i took. department of justice would not agree to the alford plea, so the only option for hunter was to plead guilty to all counts. you don't need anyone's permission to plead guilty to all counts. and go forward with the sentencing. but there was real bad blood between the prosecution and the defense here. you don't do this p or when lawyers are trying cases, you don't come in and say wanted alford plea and the government says we are not giving you one, you didn't do anything for us, we have no reason to give you one, so plead guilty. i don't care with the judge sentences into on december 16th because in the end his father no longer running for president will most probably pardon him. >> jesse: who was this alford guy, anyway, sounds like a real jerk. >> judge jeanine: he was but went down in history. >> dana: in perpetuity. >> jesse: thank you. >> dana: that means forever. >> jesse: jessica, were you aware of this, npr says biden kept trump's tariffs on chinese

imports. >> jessica: all of them come every single one? >> jesse: why biden is escalating trump's china tariffs. make sure the audience has the correct information but let's go back to hunter biden. >> jessica: yes, let's get back to that good -- >> jesse: do you believe there could be a deal and kamala if she would win maybe she pardons, so he doesn't have to pardon his son? would you accept that? >> jessica: that it's feasible? >> jesse: that is a nice way to finagle out of having to pardon your son. >> jessica: sure appeared i don't know. i was trained to process this when i saw it come across the inter-webs earlier today, as a parent, how difficult that would be, if you had the power to keep your kid out of jail, and you weren't running again, right, that was part of the campaign, because trump was out there saying just going to let him go and joe biden was saying absolutely not. so i could see a world in which he does lean on kamala for something like that or kamala just says this is something that is important to me.

this is part of the administration. the bidens in the harriss, or harris-emhoffs, are close appeared commuting the sentence could be a way to do it without doing it. >> jesse: as well -- >> jessica: not as severe as a pardon so i could see it. that is a tough spot for a dad to be in. >> jesse: so imagine of joe biden was still the candidate. this trial would have been going on as the debate was happening. >> dana: yeah. >> jesse: dodged a bullet. >> dana: back then when biden was still the candidate i remember we would talk on this show, imagine if trump were to say don't worry, joe, i got him come i'll take care of it, i'll pardon him. that is something you could imagine trump might be willing to do peered i would ask the same question, i don't know if kamala would do it but trump might do it, too come at that point. now who knows because i don't know, it's funny, this morning i felt like, the new lawyer on

"newsroom," going to ask a dumb question, can hunter biden plead guilty today? the answer is yes but not a lawyer's last the question and then a few hours later he did. that avoids a messy trial that would have been, gotten a lot of attention. maybe not on other places but we would have covered it certainly but also social media, all of those clips in and out of court every single day and now right in the middle of the christmas holiday season when joe biden and jill biden are having all of those christmas parties you will have a sentencing. i imagine joe biden probably will do something or secure something, however, for whoever wins. if trump wins come he might say can you help me out? >> jesse: put you in prison. >> dana: think of how many people who get to this place that don't have somebody that is the president of the united states and doesn't have any questions connections, plea, to sever 16th nobody is coming to bail them out. >> jesse: how are we going to get our vengeance, greg? we want this guy to pay the price and he looks like he is

going to escape again. >> greg: back in the '90s i interned for judge mautner, and here is how i look at the alford plea. it's kind of pleading guilty while maintaining your innocence. i call it the "i know what it looks like" defense. this is what cheaters use. there is lipstick on my collar, my boxers are missing, the bra on the floor come a girl under the bed, i know what it looks like. but it is a raccoon. a raccoon got into the house. and wonder hunter's wife wasn't in the courtroom. because she heard it all before. when you say you are innocent while you plead guilty, hunter wants it both ways, which was on his client profile at the house. i'm so curious about the money. like, where did the income come from? why didn't he pay taxes? he is the smartest guy that joe ever knew, did you think he didn't want to pay the taxes? because he wasn't supposed to

declare the money? >> jessica: he paid them right back. >> jesse: he didn't. >> jessica: he did. >> greg: there is the question behind this whole thing of the money was ill-gotten. why wouldn't he pay taxes? he couldn't allowed -- >> jessica: on crack. >> greg: can't blame it on track. >> jessica: why not? >> greg: plenty of successful people pay their taxes on crack. they are on crack all the time. >> jesse: the guy who gave him the money to pay the back taxes when they wanted to investigate him the cia says he is untouchable. that is interesting, isn't it, jessica? also interesting we were talking about joe biden when he was asked about the pardon. let's let everybody look back at what he said. >> will you accept the jury's outcome? their verdict, an amount of what it is? >> yes. >> have you ruled out a pardon for your son? >> yes. >> i am satisfied i am not going

to do anything. i said i would abide by the jury decision. i will do that and i will not pardon him. >> jessica: great. >> jesse: believe kjp, we call her binder, asked as a follow-up, would you commute the sentence, judge jeanine, and he said no but it wouldn't be anything like joe biden, he lies and goes back and forth all the time. >> judge jeanine: it wouldn't be inconsistent for kamala to say yes, no, yes, but i think what is important to note is between the heaviest years when the money came in, weiss let the statute of limitations past so he got away with millions, and you know what? this trial could not have gone forward if joe were running for president because the united states attorney's office was dropping information that they had not originally dropped, specifically the romanian oligarch peered we kept hearing about russian oligarchs and ukrainian, then all of a sudden it was a romanian, while joe was

vice president, money coming into hunter. i want to say one thing to answer your question about he is a crackhead come he didn't know. the truth is taxes he owed for the years 2016 through 2019 more $1.4 million, and he evaded the assessment of taxes for the year 2018 when he filed false returns for 2018. he knew that was a heavy year, he filed a false return. this guy is scummy. he doesn't want to pay taxes. his father wants everyone to pay taxes but he is smart enough to know how to play the game. >> jessica: i have no objection to this. you would be hard-pressed to find a democrat defending hunter biden p or hunter biden is not on the ticket to be at hunter biden isn't a public servant. >> judge jeanine: not saying he is. >> jessica: he has always been treated as -- >> judge jeanine: no, he -- >> jessica: that they are a mobster -- nepotism -- >> judge jeanine: yes, his father's business to enrich the

family. >> jessica: it's a little bit more complicated than that because otherwise james comer would have ever had something. >> judge jeanine: to indict. you need the power to indict. >> jessica: there is no possible way that the amount of republicans that are hot on the tail of that story haven't found anything to be able to -- >> judge jeanine: million dollars, what are you talking about? >> jessica: where is -- >> judge jeanine: you -- >> jessica: no, this is what it is about. joe biden is the only person that matters. hunter biden doesn't matter. it doesn't matter if he goes to jail, none of it. it doesn't. >> greg: jessica, now that i say that, no one is above the law because you guys say that all the time. >> jessica: no one is. >> greg: the frustration is we just want the same amount of anger and attention devoted to hunter that was devoted to donald trump's kids over stuff that didn't exist. >> jessica: what are you talking about? >> greg: oh, my god, come on. they were investigating them over secret meetings --

>> jessica: the russian orphans? ivanka trump has double digits numbers of patents that went through. they did meet with russians, we are going to talk about russia disinformation in the podcast and youtube world -- >> greg: tell me more about these orphans. >> jessica: john jr. would have to let us know -- >> greg: i want to know, you brought it up. talk about the orphans. >> jessica: are you jerking from the trump tower meeting? no one else was awake then? >> jesse: dana, do you know how many years he faces? 17 years and a million. >> dana: sugar -- i don't know. i think back to stories that we have heard, that the obama white house was concerned about hunter biden's involvement and what was happening and it was one of the reasons that joe biden was encouraged not to run in 2016, and that's why i think you still have some bad blood between the two.

>> jesse: you've got guns. you've got prostitutes, bribes, millions coming from overseas, and this guy is not going to serve any time. >> jessica: you don't know -- >> jesse: that's the problem with the system. we are running against a rigged system. >> greg: no one should be above the law, jessica. >> jessica: i know. >> jesse: and your orphans. hunter biden leaving court soon and talk to the media, we will definitely have that ahead. ahead, it is the election season and you know what that means. the biden doj is dialing up there russia bogeyman. ♪ ♪ for a limited time, subway just dropped the price of every footlong in the app to $6.99. wait, subway did what?! $6.99 footlongs? yep! says right here. $6.99 for any footlong. get this deal in the subway app now before it's too late.

okay, take your on the table. russians? >> greg: i like the disinformation they are alleged to spread, high inflation, illegal immigrant crime, dei as a negative word, that sounds like my wheelhouse. all they left out was biden's dementia and why it has never been a time to buy gold. this is not disinformation, this is actual information. this is convenient that all of these issues, the issues that make democrats look bad, are now considered disinformation spread by russia. how -- what a coincidence! i say go to hell. we don't need disinformation because the information is damning enough. the data is out there in your primary news sources. i want to know what has russia done to undermine our institutions?

did they cover up joe's dementia? exercise a silent coup? push voting machines over paper ballots? push mail-in voting? no voter i.d., which completely destroys exit polling so you can't gauge fair elections? did russia force rfk to stay on the ballot against his will? did russia paint trump as hitler and author every narrative to put a nice big, you know, target on his back? did they push the "fine people" hoax? or he wasn't assassinated hoax? did they weaponize the justice system? it probably the worst thing you could do to undermine the government is to weaponize the justice system. did russia do that? my theory on this is the dems are jealous not because of russia is undermining our institutions, it's just that even when it comes to cheating, they hate competition. >> dana: sorry, what did you say? in my ear, talking about hunter biden. okay, great.

changing -- >> dana: judge, can you hold on, we're going to have this, hunter biden's attorney speaking. let's listen. >> in california. hunter decided to enter his plea to protect those he loves from unnecessary hurt and cruel humiliation. this plea prevents that kind of show trial that would have not provided all the facts or served any real point in justice. he will now move on with us to the sentencing phase, while keeping open the options to raise the many clear issues with this case on appeal. there is no doubt this case was an extreme and unusual one for the government to bring. like millions of americans, hunter was late in filing and paying his taxes.

unlike those millions of americans, he was charged criminally for his failures that occurred during the depths of his addiction to drugs and alcohol. and which he has rectified by paying his overdue taxes in full, with interest and penalties. years before he was ever charged. in fact, hunter actually overpaid his taxes in the year he was charged with tax evasion. hunter put his family first today. and it was a brave and loving thing for him to do. >> reporter: why did he wait until this morning? >> judge jeanine: okay, it is brave and loving thing for him to do? i mean, he did it so to not embarrass himself from the things that he did be a he pled guilty because "it would cause

unnecessary hurt and cruel humiliation," the truth and fact sometimes do depending on what your behavior is. in this case when abbe lowell says there are clear issues on appeal, there are no issues on appeal. cases get prosecuted like this all the time, i know. and think about it, the irs wants to go after you for $600 making sure they know about your $600 venmo transfers, they can certainly go after this guy. at addiction has nothing to do with it. it is not a defense to anything. enough about that, can i go back to russia? >> dana: they want one more thing with you on hunter and then we are going back to russia. >> jesse: abbe said he was late in paying his taxes. he didn't pay taxes for years. being late is like a month or two. this guy just ignored paying his taxes. he said he did this to protect the people he loved. he is doing this to protect his dad. >> dana: who he loves. >> jesse: to protect his family. at his dad didn't protect him.

his dad put him out there knowing he was hooked on crack to suck up all of this money because his dad couldn't pay for the families largess, and it wae schools, porsches, nice homes. his dad couldn't pay for it, so he had hunter do it and he knew his son was doing it because he went to all the dinners. and he helped out with all the clients by writing them letters and giving them access, and some of that money came back to him and we saw the checks and then lied about it and said it was a loan but they could improve it was a loan. everyone knows it. i'm just weighing to find those diamonds that went missing, right, jessica? >> dana: i can't believe he tried to use his daughter's college tuition at columbia as a deduction. that's not allowed, right? it's not allowed. i found that out today. back to russia, go ahead. >> judge jeanine: real fast as it relates to russia, the russians weren't messing up the election. it was the americans. it was the biden-harris administration who was bringing

in the so-called intelligence agents. it was having the white house and the fbi call and say suppress any discussion of hunter biden. hunter biden was an integral part of his father's life. his father's presidency. and the downfall of his father. the real snake in the grass here is china. nobody talks about the fact that china had the balloon that was just a balloon until after they shot it down, we realized it was collecting information in real-time. nobody talks about the fact that there are chinese police stations in the united states or the fact that the democrats seem to be in bed with them, maybe not literally, fang fang with congressman swallow well, and then send her dianne feinstein and her driver, and now governor hochul, her top people involved with the chinese spy. look, the fact is that what they are trying to do, they are cultivating the field. russia now. they are setting up a reason to crackdown on social media and free speech before the next

election. publicly accusing russia of a sustained campaign. and if there are bad stories about to break on kamala, you can be sure they are going to tell you it is russian disinformation because that is how they work. >> dana: can you all pull up for me in the control room the call from donald trump, he responded on truth social and i will read it white try to find it. "comrade kamala harris and her department of justice are trying to interfere in and suppress the election in favor of the democrats by resurrecting the russia, russia, russia hoax and tried to say russia is trying to help me which is absolutely false" all caps. in fact, president putin would much rather see comrade coming here is an office as he sternly said just this morning, jesse, i don't know if you saw that clip, but i think putin was time to be a little clever and smirking as he said what he said. >> jesse: do you renounce the endorsement by putin? >> jessica: i give that back and the kkk member and vitamin putin.

>> jesse: they are right about china. they are giving millions of dollars to democrats under the table. >> dana: salted ducks. >> jesse: department of justice on the right that was weaponized, could launch an investigation into the democrat ticket because walzy, the great walz of china, ten tim, needs to be investigated. i opened a counterintelligence investigation p or i would totally tap all of the phones of walz and his crooked chinese come i'm not going to go there t you want me to come i. listen, when they came out i did this press conference i thought it was going to be good. i thought they were going to give us something on iran trying to assassinate trump, and they are sitting there with straight faces saying russia. chris wray is sitting there don't look at me. they are doing this all over again. her numbers must be so bad that they would pull this out right now come already labeling this as an excuse if she loses, and

an insurance policy because they will do the whole russia investigation all over again. we all know putin wants tariffs because he ran right through ukraine while harris was in charge. we know the cartels want harris, they got rich as hell under her. we all know china wants harris, they get everything they want with the democrats. trump came in and slapped tariffs on them and they went belly up. this is so obvious what is happening here. it is just hilarious that you think it might work again. >> dana: give her the last word on this. >> jessica: okay. i think vitamin putin wants the guy who stood next to him in helsinki and says oh come he didn't do anything, he told me, we were just meeting, he said he didn't interfere in the election at all even though our own department of justice had found that he did. what i find interesting about everyone's analysis thus far on this topic is that you are leaving out the juiciest tidbit, which is that the russians were paying tim poole and betty johnson $400,000 a month for a

weekly video that would go out to their millions of followers -- >> jesse: $400,000 a month? >> jessica: more than hunter biden was making. >> jesse: i'll make a video -- >> jessica: make a joke out of it but it was coming from a russian and they were getting -- >> greg: where did you get the info? i thought it was going through lauren chen, wasn't it her company -- >> jessica: tennessee-based company -- >> dana: they hired to do something -- >> jessica: these kinds of talking points have been showing up in those videos. >> jesse: talking points like inflation is high? >> jessica: like talking about -- >> jesse: dei is bad -- >> jessica: let russia have ukraine. it sows discord, which is the point. they want people first of all to think life is completely terrible under the biden-harris administration -- >> greg: let me just ask you this, okay? let's not forget, going to say this and i want you to tell me where i got this from.

when we talk about election interference, let's not forget what joe biden did in the ukraine a decade ago, which has led to a million deaths pure where do you think i got that from? are you going to tell me that i got that from russia? no, it came from here. i have read about this. you cannot immediately assume that when somebody has an opinion it is coming from -- >> jessica: but -- >> greg: you are in putin's pocket. >> jessica: i fully accept they did not know the source of this money was coming from russians that wanted to impact our elections in turn is against the biden-harris administration. don't you think it is weird to be paid $400,000 a month to post videos on your youtube channel? >> dana: i think a lot of people are getting paid a lot of money which is why you had the dnc -- >> jessica: in one -- >> dana: people making that kind of money. >> greg: jessica, that is a pay cut for me. >> jesse: [laughs] >> jessica: it always comes back to me being underpaid. >> greg: you are a woman. [laughter] >> jessica: i am a vessel --

>> greg: a sexist would say. >> judge jeanine: people sowing discord, that is what the democrats did for four years when we were at each other's throats about russia and whether or not donald trump was a russian plant or a putin puppet. the democrats are the ones who sold the discord. >> jessica: we are talking about actually happening -- yes, it is. >> jesse: sowing discord, we assassinated people. bloody kus, jessica. >> judge jeanine: by the way, why is china buying all of the land around the missile sites in the military bases? ought to do a press conference about china. >> jessica: a liberal you do you know mike youtuber was being paid $400,000 a month to talk a- >> jesse: the first family getting paid it millions of dollars. >> judge jeanine: let's move to this. donald trump firing up a hannity town hall in pennsylvania while kamala hungers down in the same state for their debate.

showdown. watch this. >> you can't take the chance. you have no choice. you've got to vote for me. you've got to vote for me. [applause] you can sit there and say i can't stand that guy, but there is no way i'm going to vote for her. >> judge jeanine: all right, let's talk about that town hall with donald trump yesterday. kamala was hunkered down for the debate, greg, and trump was doing a town hall. isn't it unusual that a woman who is already in the white house for almost four years is doing the job now, has to study and hide, while the guy who hasn't been there for four years is out there answering all of the questions? >> greg: she went to debate camp. that's exciting. i don't how she will do against those fourth-graders, though. i always go back to comparing the openness and transparency of trump as a candidate to this arrogant cover-up, that the democrat party used for her and also for joe biden p or he has

done something like 38 interviews, including vance, she's done basically one. that alone makes him a superior candidate by allowing his codecs to take him apart. bless you, darling. meanwhile, kamala is basically what is behind door number three on let's make a deal. you pull the curtain back and there is a donkey. >> jesse: thank you. >> judge jeanine: for a lot of people voting on social issues is a privilege. people in pennsylvania rely on fracking. 500,000 jobs. what do you think -- who do you think they are going to believe? >> dana: well, the thing i think is pretty amazing is how i think all of the polls, the consensus is it is tied, 46-46, including in the republicans and democrats senate race, with mccormick and casey. you have a lot of independent voters there. you have a lot of people who work in the energy field there. donald trump is doing way better than men with men in

pennsylvania but in those highly populated centers like pittsburgh and philly, you have a lot of democratic voters enthusiastic and want to turn out the vote. i think it is fascinating the kamala harris campaign has basically put all of their chips on next tuesday night. that's a lot of pressure. >> judge jeanine: what do you think, jesse? >> jesse: it is a lot of pressure. if she does well, she is definitely going to go up in the polls. right now it is tied but trump gets 3-5 points like he usually does in polls and will go well in the election. he should just turn to her and say why you did inflation go up from 1.9 to 9.1 under your watch, why? just embarrass the moderators. the moderators aren't going to ask you this, the media won't ask you this, why did it go up? tell me this, ms. harris, why do you disagree about the economy that joe biden did, did you give him advice on he didn't listen to? what do you disagree with over the last years, what did he get right and wrong, tell us, please, because you don't talk

to anybody. i would just do that and do that the whole night because you want to hear from her. he has to define her because the media won't do it. she is undefinable, doesn't who she is at is hiding it, obviously, and she is scared so just make her own it. >> judge jeanine: trump is doubling down on policy. he is going everywhere talking to town halls. she is not speaking. >> jessica: doubling down on policy and doing town halls are very different because when he gets to town halls -- >> judge jeanine: answers questions. >> jessica: sort of. i mean, he rambles, and sometimes you can pull out i can on seven answer out of it, but most of it is not rooted at alls approach he is going to have good answers for all of that, that is why she is at debate camp, greg. yes, we will see if she does. >> jesse: we have no idea because she doesn't talk -- >> jessica: an imaginary person. >> judge jeanine: let's have a little fun. up next, the mind-blowing truth
