>> sean: according to a new report, kamala is the preferred candidate of the chinese communist party because trump's tariff threats could stump their economic growth and of course we're very well aware of their unfair trade practices their intellectual property theft saber rattling and everything in between. meanwhile concerns over soaring prices continue to plague every american across the country everything you buy every store you go to costs more and the cost of elder care outpacing inflation leaving millions of americans struggling and as inflation continues to rise, according to the data, the places hit hardest in september were blue cities, boston and chicago. never mind the account fa every time you gas up you pay a buck, buck 50 a gallon more than you were paying four years ago. here to join us o'leary ventureist shark tank friend of the show our good friend kevin o'leary is back with us.

i was so glad to hear your comments on tariffs because knowing donald trump as well as i do, everything is transactional and every comment he's making, when it comes to foreign countries, is a negotiation. and he did -- he really will make any car manufacturer, any manufacturer at all, if you're going to take your jobs out of america yeah we're going to charge you a lot to bring them back so it's not going to be worth your while. he's saying to china if you're going to charge us x number of dollars for us to import our products into your country, we're going to do the same thing back to you. however, i don't think that's what he wants but he is negotiating. what part of that are people missing? >> i think they should understand that most countries on earth for 40 years have been trying to level the playing field with china. we're the largest economy still

worldwide so we should take the lead on this mandate. china does not think a level playing field is necessary. i'll give you an example been can relate to. i've been using it quite a bit because everybody uses tik tok in america. we have deemed it to be chinese spy wear because it is, everybody knows that. and they have to shut down on midnight january 19, 2025, not to far away. that's the will of the people bipartisan basis that's what the american people have decided to do through their reputation in congress. the supreme leader takes a different view. he says why don't i use the american court system to slow this we thing up and litigate in the united states so i can't get shut down. and make no mistake about it every single chinese business is owned by one guy the supreme leader. you can look at it a different way but i don't because i'm a realist. i do business there. so the supremeist is using our courts to stop us from doing the people's will. we can't do that in china we

can't sue the supreme leader in china we can't protect our ip. i would like to take this opportunity for the american people to understand this is a tactic, it could be a short-term one but i want to do something even past what trump wants to do. i would like to bring their economy to its knees by charging 400% on selected items. i'll give you an example. yoga mats we probably import two million a week in china. we can make them in indian vietnam and america. 400 tariffs on yoga mats and put them out of business and they lose those lowees. the supreme leader as we do it sector by sector he will fly to washington he will meet with whoever the president is and he will cut a deal. he only understands the stick, that's all he understands. 40 years of negotiating with this guy and his predecessors means nothing. squeeze the head, i love the people it is he the government i want to go to war w you put

hundreds of people out of employment and they're weak right now. you bring them to their knees they'll cut a deal. >> sean: okay. so they put tariffs on us, they're responsible for massive intellectual property theft in this country. a very close friend of mine owns his own company, he has patents developed a technology for coding the inside of a combustion engine brilliant guy and got ripped off by the communist chinese and people in other countries. >> i know the story it's happened to me five, six times. i get it. there's nothing you can do. you can bring a case but you will not win nothing will happen. he has no protection. >> sean: right he'll just waste money on lawyers. >> well, what actually happens, and i'll give you an example so people understand the grand regardity of this. let's say you have a product you're going to use chinese manufacturing that you used to think was a low cost. you buy the molds spend $400,000 on molds, start making the product, start selling it in the united states, the minute it

passes five million in sales you're going to see that product on alibaba at two-thirds off and they'll try to put you out of business. you prove the market for them and they're selling it right here in the united states. there's no way you can protect your ip. they're using your molds to screw you. this story has happened thousands of times and there's no way can stop it. so when people come at me with academic studies about changing china's behavior and not to do that they're not dealing with china like i am. i'm in the real world, these guys do not play by the rules and the only thing they understand is the stick. we need to give them the stick. now, i don't like tariffs, these are short-term strategies but if you shut them down and you cause economic pain they'll come to the table. >> sean: totally agree with you. and, you know, trump would occasionally say and people get mad, we can be a stupid country sometimes. we allow the communist chinese tens and tens of thousands we know know because of

harris/biden open borders have come into this country. i don't think they're coming here because they want a better life for themselves their families and their grandkids. they're buying up our ranch land our farm land, land near military installations. kevin o'leary i dare you to try and do the same thing in china. let me know how that works out for you. >> i can't and that's why i'm saying, look, i don't want to sound radical because i'm not. i'm simply asking for a simple level playing field. sundays when we watch football, it's a flat playing field. both sides have a chance of winning because the rules are the same for both sides. i'm asking for the same thing from china. if they want to put a tariff on a car of ours going in there we hit them with the same. a better strategy would be let's just let the market be the market take all the tariffs away give us access to your ip let us protect ours over there, we can't use your court systems let us do that we'll let you use ours. if they don't want a level

playing field i say put the screws to them. i'm okay with it. and i'll tell you why i say that. nothing else has worked for 40 years. >> sean: appreciate you being with us. kevin o'leary. coming up the left steps up their lawfare against donald trump, oh, with only days to go until election day, you can't make it up. gregg jarrett, leo 2.0 terrell, straight ahead. i'm just a regular person. some people say, "why should i take prevagen? i don't have a problem with my memory." memory loss is, is not something that occurs overnight. i started noticing subtle lapses in memory. i want people to know that prevagen has worked for me. it's helped my memory. it's helped my cognitive qualities. give it a try. i want it to help you just like it has helped me. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

♪ >> sean: last night at the al smith dinner with new york attorney general leticia james right behind him donald trump had this light hearted moment about the lawfare that he is now facing. take a look. >> it's a true pleasure to be with you this evening. amazing pleasure. and these days, it's really a

pleasure anywhere in new york without a subpoena for my appearance. [laughter]. >> any time i don't get a subpoena i'm very happy. they've gone after me mr. mayor, you're peanuts compared to what they've done to me and you're going to be okay. >> sean: right on cue, it was with only 18 days until election day, a judge in dc released hundreds of pages of allegations against donald trump relating to the jack smith case after denying a request to keep them sealed until after the election. when presented with the fact take releasing all of this one-sided completely negative information about donald trump as millions of people are currently voting and will be voting, that would be election interference the judge claimed that not releasing it would be the real interference. here now with reaction fox news contributor leo 2.0 terrell fox

news contributor legal analyst gregg jarrett. leo trying to understand this, it's a one-sided document no real opportunity for donald trump to respond and the left-wing media that hates donald trump will probably take it, you know, pour over and present it as if it's gospel truth. >> you're absolutely right, sean, you look at the last two and a half years that president trump had to go through regarding the criminal justice system, it's the definition of insanity, they have tried for two and a half years to convict him to take him off the ballot. it has not worked and they're continually trying to do so. i'll tell you something sean the american public has rejected this weaponization of the legal system. it's not going to affect the election but i will tell you what's going to happen. when trump wins the election all these cases go away. jack smith is probably going to need legal representation. and this judge, by this conduct, she has basically destroyed, in

my opinion, her judicial career. >> sean: well, probably not because it's in dc and i think that's hard to do but the fact that they would do this 18 days prior to an election, whatever happened to that doj policy, gregg jarrett, unwritten policy that they don't do this in the lead-up to an election. >> they tore it up. they shredded it. this is a celeb rate attempt, sean, by a judge to sway an election. what's remarkable is she doesn't actually deny it. i mean, read the 5-page ruling. she writes, oh, this information is incidental, and that's not the same, she says, as court's intentional interference. so she's basically admitting she's intentionally interfering. even dumber is her comment that withholding information is election interference. no, at he not. are you kidding me? so she's unwittingly admitting

that which she claims is false and frankly doesn't even seem bright enough to realize it. the good news as leo points out --. >> sean: i think she knows exactly what she's doing. >> you think she's smarter than i think she is. but trump and voters, they know what's going on. this case brought by jack smith is legally weak, it's factually bereft. it's more of the same lawfare as you pointed out that democrats launched the moment trump announced and people see it for what it is, an illegitimate attempt to smear and sully the republican candidate literally while votes are being cast. merrick garland is all in he could have and should have ordered smith delay any court filings until after the election instead smith went out of order bringing his anti trump campaign advertisement, because that's what it is, and judge tanya chutkan let him get away with

it. she's cheering him on. it's shameful sean. >> sean: when we come back jimmy failla reacts kamala harris's cringe pre taped skit at last night's al smith durn. it was bad. plus a seemingly taped conversation between barack obama and joe biden goes viral. hmm. what were they talking about. was it kamala? i retouched all my wedding photos, and it was even affecting my health. i trusted you because you specialize in dental implants. you created a permanent solution and customized my teeth so it still felt like me. my new teeth have improved my life and changed my future. - thank you. - you're so welcome. finance the smile you want for as low as one forty eight a month per arch. schedule a free consultation.

>> who was that. >> mary katherine. >> tell me something, i'm giving a speech thoughts about what i might say tonight. >> that with be best expressed in a monologue for one of my favorite made for tv series. >> okay. let's hear it. >> don't you see man? we need a woman to represent us. a woman brings more heart, more compassion. and think how mart she must be to become a top contender in a field dominated by men. does it bother you that that trump guy insults you all the time it bothers my friends and me. >> mary katherine it's very important to always remember you should never let anyone tell you who you are. >> haters gonna hate hate hate shake it off. >> shake it off.

>> shake it off. >> sean: oh, boy, last night's host comedian jim gaffigan seemed surprised at the audience reaction to kamala's master piece. take a look. >> i don't even know what that noise you're making is. >> sean: here with reaction, he's the host of fox news saturday night, jimmy failla. i thought the comedian was great. i thought he did a great job and trump was, you know, rip-roaring funny through that. and i thought whatever that thing was was awful. >> gaffigan was great, trump was great. what gaffigan heard he said i don't know what that noise was. when kamala's video ended the bomb dogs started barking because they thought that was a bomb that went off in the room.

that was horrible. >> sean: she bombed. >> totally bombed. i believe hamas called in and took responsibility for that set. that was a bombing. >> sean: oof. >> okay? but it's so typical of what a kamala presidency would look like because she didn't even do the comedy herself she outsourced it to mollie shannon who did that very onbrand cringe thing that this campaign is known for. but we couldn't even get her to read the jokes. think about this sean, they're supposed to be the party of joy and they couldn't even go to the comedy show. so they can't even commit to that. and not only is this an insult to the church but it's very insulting to nancy pelosi who was a waitress at the last supper >> sean: the gretchen whitmer line about giving communion to kamala was pretty funny in light of it being the al smith dinner. yeah, i think the joy in kamala left completely after the bret baier interview, just saying.

>> spot on. >> sean: joe biden and barack obama were caught on tape having what appeared to be a tense, serious conversation at ethel kennedy's memorial service. we don't know exactly what they were talking about but according to the new york post, who hired a lip reader to decode the viral video, biden said, quote, she's not as strong as me and obama agreed. >> you feel bad for the guy who got this assignment because most people can't understand biden when he's talking out loud. now imagine you're trying to read his lips from afar. if i had to guess what he was saying, knowing joe he was probably asking ba rock what time ethel's getting there and then ba rock had to sadly explain to him he's no longer with us and that's why he looks like he's taking it so hard. >> sean: yeah, look, barack obama goes out and campaigns as a surrogate. that didn't work out well. didn't seem like he was happy to be there, number one. number two, he started talking about the brothers not voting

for kamala suggesting they were sexist, bill clinton didn't do a good job. laken riley probably would be alive today if we just did some vetting. great point, bill. and then gretchen whitmer with the communion thing she denied forever. her surrogates aren't helping her but ba rock is bringing out michelle and for the first time in her adult life she's proud of her country i don't know if you know that. >> that makes me laugh. you think about what an arrogant jackass barack obama is to leave behind his four mansions to tell the brothers they have to vote for the woman who's made their lives unaffordable. it's like grocery prices are 30% higher right now, okay? we know what the border has done to the job market. this idea that you owe the people who ruined the credit i in i loyalty, because what are the democrats asking you to do. they're like if you vote for us we'll fix the economy and we'll fix the border. that's like voting for oj to find the real killer sean.

we know who the problem is ba rock and that's why no one's responding to this arrogant message. >> sean: i think oj searched every golf course in the world looking hard. >> he did the work. >> sean: we're going to be watching tomorrow night, jimmy failla the one and only. thank you sir. when we come back more hannity straight ahead.
