0 even knowing it. books they label as dangerous ideas that are forbidden. >> you can't read that book. well, we became aware of this and we decided to look into it in some detail. we reached out to amazon. what books are you banning exactly and why are you doing that? and it's really interesting what we found. >> we'll tell you tomorrow night. don't forget to episode tucker carlson say on fox nation, 7:00 a.m. we'll be back tomorrow night at. in the meantime, here's sean tucker. i have a question. is there any that anybody can force you to open a book? no one can force you to open a book your own free? well, which we used to have is the driving force. thank you. just simple, simple questions and answers. >> anyway, tucker, thank you. and welcome to hannity. all right. here we are, only twenty one days from the all important midterm elections. that means three weeks from tonight, it will be election night in america. and republicans, they are trending hopefully in the right direction. coming up, utah senator mike lee will be here at the very latest from his race against the very liberal we call him egg mcmuffin, who is completely bought and paid for, which we will show you tonight by the democratic party. although he's not running as a democrat, it is all a ruse. also, senator ron johnson will be here. and tonight, we have big breaking news surrounding the biden family's shady international business deals, including a massive interest free, forgivable loan from china and a one hundred thousand dollar big invest from a russian oligarch. former first lady of moscow, that up until now people have not talked about. we'll check in with john solomon. he has all the details for us tonight. plus, the corrupt now fired fbi agent peter struck. i want you to believe smelly wal-mart shoppers and trump supporters that you are that january six was so much worse than 9/11. okay, we'll set him straight as we continue tonight. >> but we begin tonight at 1600 pennsylvania avenue, where the white house is waging a fraudulent and dishonest political strategy, complete with collusion in plain sight. now, we already know, according to reports, that after joe biden called saudi arabia's crown prince ambo's a murderer of jamaal khashoggi and his nation a pariah nation, joe then flies to saudi arabia because he won't he won't have domestic energy production here. he begged nbc in a pariah nation itself to increase oil production. joe was humiliated and not only told there would not be an increase in production, but a two million dollar per day decrease in output. >> then, joe , we now find out he tried to collude with saudi arabia and opec plus to delay opec's oil reduction announcement. how conveniently until after the midterm elections. >> and then the saudis disclose this duplicity. now, then after that attempt to collusion failed and both laughed in his face and biden circle back to one of his old favorite political stunts. now, for the past several months, joe biden has put our country at risk by almost completely draining our strategic petroleum reserves. which is now at a four decade low. almost half of what he inherited. donald trump builds it up and he's siphoning it away. now, it's about to get even worse because biden is now poised to release yet another 10 of 15 million barrels of oil. but don't forget the strategic reserve is intended for national emergencies only democrats polling badly before the midterms. that is not a national emergency. joe is now literally compromising our national security to temporarily lower the price at the pump for three weeks. let the white house simply doesn't care. they're so upset that their plan to collude with saudi arabia, opec plus nations didn't work. just keep it quiet till after the midterms. now, imagine if donald trump did that anyway. they're not interested in improving your life or securing our country or having lower gas prices or lowering the prices of every item you buy at every store. you go to. i mean, they have no interest in solving these problems. they only have a short term strategy to reduce the energy costs only because they want to get through the midterms. for team biden, it's all about optics. it's not about real solutions. here is yet another example reported by the "new york post". quote, the white house pressured the democratic mayor of el paso, texas, to not declare a state of emergency over the city's migrant illegal immigrant crisis. due to fear it would make president biden look bad. look, bad. they would take it in almost two thousand people, illegal immigrants a day. the border is bad. it's an unmitigated disaster. you don't need to graduate from harvard and mit to figure that out. only for whatever , try to cover it up weeks before an election. instead of actually addressing the crisis that their policies caused. but again, the biden administration, they only care about political optics three weeks out of an election. they don't care about the quality of your life. they just want a cheap political win and they don't want to get in trouble just before the election. and they'll take it anyway anyhow. they can get it. the president himself doesn't really seem to know what's going on over the weekend. he referred to the economy was strong as as he and his ice cream cone. >> take a look at this great. right now, i'm not concerned about the fruits of i'm concerned about the rest of the world. it makes sense to me that, yes, our economy is going to in terms of joey. must have been a good boy that day because he got ice cream anyway. forty one year high of inflation, sorry, turkey prices now. 73% higher. i'm not laughing about that. sadly, just in time for thanksgiving, by the way, if you've never fried a turkey, you might want to get a butterball turkey fryer. they are amazing anyway. meanwhile, gas prices look. >> they're approaching another record high, continuing to climb as we speak. interest rates now have more than doubled the housing market is in a full out crash. the stock market has already plummeted. retirement accounts for one case. other investments. they are taking a beating, according to stephen moore. fully 25% of your investment retirement portfolio has been wiped away. it's the single worst year for the stock and bond market investors since nineteen sixty nine and unfortunately supplied issues persist while and while you're at it. violent crime is through the roof in small towns and big cities all across the country. especially in blue cities, in blue towns run by democrats for decades. the ones that want to defund, dismantle and buy to this nobel madness. and by the way, as you know, your border is a nightmare. but according to nancy pelosi, none of this matters to americans. >> let's see if nancy's right. you decide. so let's talk about rising inflation concerns along with crime giving momentum, new momentum to republicans after the democrats were closing the gap. >> what do you think the president has gotten this message to the voters? well, first of all, let me say that i think that much of you've said i don't agree with that is to say the new york times poll, i think is an outlier poll, just one poll. but the other. it's also the real clear politics average showing similary, no, but that was one that brought down the average was an outlier. it wasn't even that big a sample. so i dismissed it. >> dismiss your miserable lives or high gas prices, your inflation, crime in big cities, small towns. i'll just dismiss it. after a lucrative five decades in the swamp, nancy pelosi is clearly not in touch with reality. she's getting pretty close to joe biden territory. however, the eighty two year old speaker is slightly more lucid than her comrade at the white house, for example, here is joe biden, spelling out the dot in a web trust as such as dot com. look, for yourself. >> if you get any questionable calls, please tell by going to report fraud, report fraud. totti, ftc dot gov. this is really embarrassing. it's hard to take and it gets worse. today, josa sounded very dazed and confused and disjointed as he slurred his way through a short speech. >> take a look. as i say, one of the times they ain't seen nothing yet. the right that i pushed hard and it finally got changed. the married couples in the privacy of a red room. excuse me, i'm thinking about the adoption decision. imagine. well, i'll get to that in a second. clarence thomas. meanwhile, i just want to make clear i know you all know, but i'll make sure you're talking about the right to use contraception and the right to marry who you love. i mean, anyone. >> i don't want to get started. god bless you all. oh, my god. >> protect our troops. thank you. i'm sorry. thank you. >> i'm sorry. two words made in america. >> okay, a four a three letter word. jobs joe biden. s okay, now even fake news. cnn is reporting biden has spent more than a fourth of his presidency on vacation in delaware, far outpacing any president before. by the way, i don't take half the vacation i'm entitled to on any given year. i must be an idiot. anyway, joe biden is clearly not up to the job. i know what you know what? the democrats know it. and you better believe joe biden get this report today following one of biden's only scheduled press conferences. dr. jill biden was reportedly so mad and outrage that white house staffers even allowed joe to answer that many questions. according to the new york times, the first lady stormed into a post press conference meeting pointedly asked why nobody stepped in to stop it because she could see the train wreck we were all seeing. that doesn't exactly inspire confidence, does it? and it does beg the question, who is running the country? because it's certainly not joe biden. it's definitely, definitely kamala harris. and god help us if it's nancy pelosi, it probably is aoc now or a cabal of wall green new green deal socialist who think that they are living in an episode of the west wing. and in twenty one days, three weeks from tonight, if democrats hold on to their majorities in the house and end the senate, no one will be held accountable. and america's problems will get worse and worse and worse. if you think the economy bad is bad now, buckle up, because with democrats in charge, it will implode. >> it can get worse, it will get worse. it was more . fox business host charles payne. charles , thanks for being with us. the only thing that this election can do, it's like a boat. it's taken on a lot of water. the first thing you've got to do is plug up the hole. hopefully this plugs up the hole i don't see in joe biden what we once saw in bill clinton, and that is the ability to adapt to political circumstances and public opinion. >> and that would be the era of big government is over in the end of welfare as we know it. >> do you see that in joe biden? no, absolutely not. in fact, joe biden, he's come with a singular plan, and that is the climate change agenda point blank. period. and it's so interesting because every time there's conversations, whether it's questions during a press conference due to anyone, they wrap it in the veneer of economics or they try to at least there's only one thing that matters, and that is the green agenda period. in the american public paying a serious price. you know, you talked about how much worse is going to get worse. >> john , i don't think a lot of people out there know because i haven't really seen it reported. when we go further into this crude crude oil problem, there's a thing called distillates rights and it's diesel that's used for trucks, locomotive, agricultural engines, jet planes that that commercial inventories at the lowest level since nineteen fifty one nineteen fifty one . can you imagine how much it's going to cost now to just bring produce from a farm to a home or to bring goods from a factory to a store, a child to get on a plane, add to the misery factor here because i talk to farmers on my radio show quite often that tells me the cost of fertilizer has quadrupled. the cost of seeds now more than double the cost, if they can get them spare parts for their equipment, is double and triple what they used to pay just two years ago. so they're struggling on every level and if they want to keep their farms open, they have to charge more and then it costs more to ship it to wherever it's going. >> it's all that's another part that the natural gas, the war on fossil fuels includes natural gas. you take the price that you jack it through the roof, then you have fertilizer through the roof. what about corn? he's trying to fill the gap with corn as fuel. well, you know, if you make corn expensive, then it costs a lot more to feed the livestock. why do you think live poultry prices are through the roof? it's all connected, son , and it's all about a singular vision that's so, so crazy, so nuts, so irresponsible. and really, what's the hurtful part of it truly is your point. he does not have the political skills of a bill clinton did you occasionally feel your pain and could pivot so they win the house and the senate. this is just this is just the warm up act. wait until you see no one thought you can ever say, i'm going to do three hundred $60 billion on a climate bill and people who work with that kind of stuff. i read an article the other day with someone that i was just just getting used to talking to millions. now we're giving out billions. it's nuts. it's going to go crazy. now, i don't know if you saw the epic times today, but they're saying in new england, for example, this winter that they may have blackouts because there's not enough natural gas to keep the grid at the level they need to provide it at. i had general bolduc on my radio program today and he's saying that they literally are only getting one tenth of what they need in terms of actual supplies for new england. to heat their homes this this winter. what happens then? >> what are we going to do at that point? you know, i just don't know. this is not this is a dangerous and they're playing to win an election. this is this is so unfair. to the american public to set us up in this position. we're home heating oil is going to be prohibitively expensive if you can get it, where food prices are going to continue to go through the roof. we're i mean, everything is they're making a gigantic bet. drawing down on the strategic petroleum reserve is one of the most air responsible a president could ever do when it's not needed for an emergency. imagine it doing all of this to attempt to win the midterm elections when it's over, when the midterm elections are over and winter sets in, america is going to pay a devastating price. >> all right. charles payne, always good to see you. thanks for being with us. joining us now, texas senator ted cruz. he has embarked on a multistate bus tour ahead, the midterm senator cruz, what state are you? look like you're home in texas tonight. you home tonight? >> for once, i am home tonight. but we're right in the middle of what's a 17 state bus tour. so we've been to about half the states. we've got about the other half to go . we started in texas, did four stops in texas. then we went to new mexico than we did two stops in arizona. then we went to nevada, then we went to utah. then we went to kansas, then we went to missouri. next we are headed to ohio and north carolina. maril and virginia, tennessee, georgia, florida, michigan, and then back to the great state of texas. >> all right. we all right, i'll up you in a . >> okay, if we were in georgia last night, will be in pennsylvania tomorrow night. we will be in a state that i can announce yet on monday night. and then another state that i'll be in next week also. so we're going to be out on the road as well. the midterms with that important. when you look at the senate in particular, we've got to look, marco rubio always have a tough race. he's winning. he's up in the polls in florida. herschel walker, you've got tim scott. i'm not worried about him, ted, but is running a good campaign . that's a tough race. i believe general bolduc can win new hampshire. dr. oz has to win. if the republicans have any shot at taking back the senate. we got ron johnson joining us later. we got jd vance, we got eric schmitt. we got blake masters, we got adam laxalt. we got tiffany smiley out in washington. of all those places. what do you predict? what are you seeing? what are you feeling on the ground? >> you know, elections look, i think there's enormous energy. i think we're going to retake both the house and senate in the house. i think we're going to end up with a big majority. i think we're going to end up with a majority in the range of 30 to 50 seats, which is historic. it's on the order of what we saw in 2010. i think that same sort of election is coming in november in the senate. i think we're going to take the majority and i think we could be anywhere between fifty one and fifty seven seats . i'd probably predict right now 53 or 54 is where i think the senate is . you know what's really striking? you were listening where you're going. i was i was listening where i'm going. you know who's not doing that? joe biden. joe biden is nowhere to be found in georgia. he's nowhere to be found in nevada. he's nowhere to be found in arizona. he's nowhere to be found in new hampshire. he's nowhere to be found in ohio. he's nowhere to be found in north carolina. why? because none of the democrats running want to be anywhere near him. they're running away desperately from the failed agenda of the radical left. that really says something when the president of the united states is it is is a millstone around the neck of these democrat candidates. but they've been rubber stamps for the radical left agenda for two years. and now they're forced to face the voters. >> you know, i like to keep things simple, senator . number one , the economy, average families paying seventy $100 more because of biden, inflation, a forty one year high than they were paying under donald trump. we're paying double the price of gasoline than we were paying under donald trump. that hits every american. it disproportionately is impacting the poor, middle class and people on fixed incomes. then we've got wide open borders. american americans can see the disaster down there. where you live in texas. >> on top of that, people in every every small town and big city they're dealing with defund, dismantle, no bail laws. and that is resulting in record murder. rates, violent crime, burglaries, you name it. americans are tired of it. and they're also tired of this woke education being forced on our kids. >> simple, keep it simple. look, i think that's exactly right. >> the top three issues in the country, according to national polling, our number one , inflation and especially gas prices. number two, crime. and number three , illegal immigration on all three of them, the democrat far left agenda, biden and harris and pelosi and schumer is a train wreck. and if you look at people are hurting, their lives are more difficult. if you're a young person coming out of school, the cost of rents gone up, the cost food's gone up. you don't have the ability to to make basic ends meet. it's even worse if you're a young parent and you're trying to put diapers on your kid, you're trying to get baby formula for your kid, you're trying to get braces on your kid. all of those costs have gone through the roof and then they're seniors. you know, if you spent 30 , 40 years saving, you've been responsible. you've done what you're supposed to do. you have a 401k, you have a retirement, and suddenly the democrats get in power. and in two years, your retirement drops. twenty , twenty five . 30%. the average nationally is thirty four thousand dollars. that's dropped on 401k. you got seniors who are living on that. they got a whole lot less retirement savings in the cost of everything is skyrocketed. and i'll tell you, there are a lot of seniors who are getting ready to retire. i just read a recent story that said fully one third of seniors who are still working have decided to delay their retirement because now their retirement savings is less than they can afford it ,like a top thing. and that's why we're going to see the kind of tidal wave election. the a.p. polling shows the . 46% of americans actually consider themselves poor right now. if you look at and on top of everything you said, about four one ks retirement plans, you're 100%. right. but new home construction has come to a screeching halt. sales of preexisting homes that is coming to a screeching halt as well. home prices are now plummeting because nobody wants to give up a two point seven 30 year fixed rate mortgage for seven percent, 30 year fixed rate mortgage. they can't afford to do that. now, home prices are on the way down as well. that means equity that you had in your home, equity that you have in your retirement account. it's all wiped away. good job. joe biden. well, and even worse, if the democrats, god forbid, were to get elected, every one of these gets worse. i have never seen in my life two years a government do this much damage to the country. i don't think i thought it was possible that they would do this much damage. and they're engaged right now in blatant gaslighting. you know, joe biden is tweeting out, if you elect the republicans, inflation will go higher. like what? you know, i mean, you you've got the white house press secretary saying nobody's crossing our southern border. never mind the four point four million people that have crossed under joe biden. they're just blatantly lying in the corporate media's corrupt their lies when joe biden said the economy is strong as , he told the truth. >> he's dreaming anyway. he's too engaged in eating his ice cream. >> senator , keep up the good work on utah. let them eat cake. that's that. that's a message that works well. and it's got to go historical pedigree. let him eat ice cream in a cone and lie about the economy. all right. when we come back , new reports. you're going to love this. we thought we knew a lot about zero experience. hunter, you're not going to believe what we know this time. and it has to do with china and russia and the biden family syndicate and how compromised they are. john solomon is up next. senator ron johnson will weigh in as we continue. and greetings to you, thrillseekers conversationalists and music lovers all across the bountiful and optimistic fruited
