Meanwhile, the president is defending his decision to pull u. S. Troops out of afghanistan, but was the mission accomplished Gimmick Waiting in on our top story. Millions of people on the West Coast are feeling the heat again tonight, once again being urged to conserve their Energy Use to help keep the power on during what is expected to be another historic Heat Wave. But we begin tonight with new questions about the finances of Hunter Biden and the potential ethics issues surrounding his latest venture. White house correspond to Kevin Corke is on the capes for us tonight. Good evening, kevin. Good evening, shannon. In the very latest episode if imagine if President Trump did that, i offer you this. Imagine if donald Trump Jr. Or Eric Trump or barron trump, for that matter, was able to sell artwork for as much as 500 Grand A pop without knowing who the buyers are. What you think the media might say about that . Or how about Government Watchdog groups . Well, thats exactly what happening with Hunter Biden. In fact, White House officials have helped him craft an agreement under which purchases of his artwork will be kept confidential. They claim its an attempt to avoid ethical issues that could arise. Bidens Art Sale is expected to take place this fall but it does come with a number of potential challenges. Not only has he been previously accused of cashing in on his fathers name, his latest vocation just happens to be in a field where, as you know, works dont have to have a tangible fixed Value Brand were many concerns have arisen about secretive buyers and undisclosed sums. The whole thing is a really bad idea, says richard paneer, the former chief Ethics Lawyer to former president george w. Bush as walter schaub, former obama ethics are, because we dont know who is paying for this art and we dont know for sure that Hunter Biden knows, we have no way of monitoring whether people are buying access to the White House. But to hear biden himself tell it, this isnt about shadowy buyers and sketchy ethics, its about the art. I dont paint from emotion or feeling, which i think are both very ephemeral, he told art net. For me, painting is much more about kind of trying to bring forth what is, i think, the universal truth. Now, while it is true beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Art Curator Jeffrey says the art on its face is, well, worth relatively nothing due to its amateur style. He told the Washington Examiner hey, everybody needs a hobby, suggesting the artwork should go for a modest 850 to 3,000. It will be very interesting to see how it all winds up, shannon. Shannon ouch. When the professional Critics Way and like that, its tough, but, you know, it just matters who the buyers are, what theyre willing to pay, what the market will bear. Were going to talk about this in a few minutes with Miranda Devine and kevin, youre going to come back and we will talk about one of our favorite topics again in just a few minutes. Food [laughs] shannon [laughs] he gave it away. Its true, we are busted, i will see them in a little bit, kevin. All right, see you later. Shannon breaking tonight, President Biden is defending the largescale u. S. Military withdrawal from afghanistan, rejecting the premise that a Taliban Takeover Of Afghanistan is inevitable. In fact, the president calling that scenario highly unlikely, even as the Terror Group is making rapid advances. Congressional correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has more on the Story Tonight from the White House. President biden i will not send another generation of americans to War In Afghanistan with no reasonable expectation of achieving a different outcome. The u. S. Mission in afghanistan will end august 31st, 12 days sooner than the 20 anniversary of 9 11, President Bidens first deadline. Biden says he trusts the afghan military can defend itself from the threat of a taliban takeover and at this stage is the responsibly of the afghan people, not the u. S. , to nation build. President biden they have the capacity. They have the forces. Have the equipment. The question is, will they do it . Speak of the president highlighted the strengths of three had A Thousand afghan troops versus some 75,000 taliban but bristled at this question. Do trust the taliban . s President Biden is that a serious question . Followed by a fuller answer. President biden do i trust the taliban, no, but i trust the capacity of the afghan military who is better trained, better equipped, and more competent in terms of conduct in war. Biden made the case for turning the u. S. Counterterrorism posture elsewhere. President Biden Today that there Terrorist Threat has metastasized beyond afghanistan, significantly higher in south asia, the middle east, and africa. Speak about lawmakers on both sides have pressured biden to ensure the safety of afghan people who helped the u. S. Military, like translators and drivers now facing Death Threats from the taliban. They are being hunted down as we speak and this administration, President Biden, will have blood on his hands if he does not act now. The president said the Visa Process needs to be faster, but kicks the issue to congress. Why cant the u. S. Evacuate these afghan translators to the united states to await their Visa Processing as some immigrants at the southern border . President biden thats why we are asking the congress to consider changing the law. The president said since january some 2500 afghan nationals have received visas and for those still waiting, the u. S. Can guarantee safety in thirdparty countries. At the White House, Jacqui Heinrich, Fox News. Shannon so new questions being raised tonight about some of President Bidens foreign Policy News and a hunter of us to best latest ethics situations grading headaches for his father. Lets discuss both top stories with new York Post columnist and Fox News contributor Miranda Devine. Great to have you, miranda. You too, shannon, good to see it. Shannon lets start a little bit with with the president had to say today about the taliban, its encroachment in afghanistan. Not only u. S. Troops but others as well. Is the Taliban Takeover Of Afghanistan now inevitable . President biden no. It is not. Because you have the afghan troops have 300,000 wellequipped, as wellequipped as any army in the world and in Air Force against something like 75,000 taliban. It is not inevitable. Shannon the world hopes not but the taliban, even though they may be smaller in number has been very good at leveraging that to their advantage. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, i dont think its really wise of the president to be so optimistic. I think the rest of what he said was really sensible. It was never going to be easy to get out of god to afghanistan but ithink the Amere Sick of it and its been 20 years and i will also say that the allies, you know, in places like australia as well, its just been an endless war and the objective has been achieved and as President Biden said, you just need to allow the afghan people to get on with their own lives and decide what they want to do and, you know, the taliban, it was a terrible situation because they were harboring Osama Bin Laden and we cant let that happen again and i guess there are ways that the american military can try and stop that from happening in the future, but, you know, its the one time i think where Joe Biden gave a very good speech. Shannon hes gotten a lot of praise across the board today, a lot of people happy about what he is sticking to him what his plan is. Senator lindsey graham, veteran, says this. It is not in Americas Interest for the taliban to take over afghanistan at the taliban takes over part of afghanistan, i fear that Al Qaeda and isis will reemerge and will be paving away for another 9 11. The commander in chief has a very delicate balance thinking about those things, those concerns that are very real threats to america and to our allies against that backdrop of 20 years of lives and treasures sacrificed there. Exactly. And this was something, as President Biden said today, that President Trump had already put in to train that was already a very limited number of troops there and the taliban were holding off from attacking them according to Joe Biden because of that expectation that america was going to pull out. So its never going to be easy and its always you know, i know theres an argument that now weve lost our sort of Staging Post there in that part of the world, but afghanistan is a nightmare of a place. You know, its full of warring tribes and i have to say, in some ways there was a rationale for people wanting the taliban as an antidote to those tribal warlords who were doing, among other things, were kidnapping villagers, little boys and turning them into their sex. Its not something that we can impose our values on there and certainly not in the military sense. Shannon you and many others at the new York Post have done the real digging and the Hard Reporting OnHunter Biden, so i want to talk about this. Even the Washington Post now is raising questions saying there are some ethical concerns here as Kevin Corke reported. Artwork is not a tangible situation where there are hardandfast rules about what something should cost and how it should be paid for, that kind of thing. Walter schaub, who was the director of the office of ethics set all kind of things about this today. He says the idea that even Hunter Wont know about who has bought or what the prices are, but the White House has outsourced Government Ethics to a private art dealer, were supposed to trust a merchant in an industry that is fertile ground for Money Laundering as well as unknown buyers who could tell hunter or White House officials no thanks, he says. How does this smell to you . Yeah, not good, but look, at least the White House is now taking seriously some sort of ethical problem with what Hunter Biden has been doing for a long time. I mean, so have other members of the Biden Family and Joe Biden himself for many decades, so at last they are actually waking up to the fact that there is a problem, but i think the solution is all wrong. I dont see how less transparency is an option. What you really want is maybe have secret bidders in the process and then after theyve bought the paintings, those names and the countries that there from be made public. The fact is that he is asking extraordinary prices. Up to 500,000, for a firsttime painter who isnt even professionally trained. There was a picasso that was found in a closet in maine that was sold this week for 150,000, so, you know, Hunter Biden getting 500,000, if thats what happens, is really obviously it has to be because of his surname and he could have circumvented all of that and allowed his art to speak for itself if youd used one of the pseudonyms, is other parts of his life free. He for instance called themselves Robert Hunter or just hunter. He didnt needs to use the biden name for this exhibit and good on him. I mean, you have to take your hat off to him and some people think that the art is very good and so let it stand or fall on its own merits rather than being sucked into this whole Biden Family influence peddling operation. Shannon yeah, it will be interesting to see how the sales proceed, whether we will find out about the Buyers Order prices and how this first showing goes for this budding artist. Miranda devine, thank you so much. Thanks, shannon. Shannon breaking coronavirus news tonight. After pfizer announced it would seek Regulators Authorization for a third covid19 vaccine dose, the Cdc And Fda issuing a joint Statement Tonight saying americans who have been fully vaccinated do not need a Booster Shot at this time.

He will also face an unrelated Fraud Trial in Los Angeles as well as a separate trial next year in manhattan where he is charged with cheating his former clients, adult Film Actress stormy daniels, out of Hundreds Of Thousands of dollars. Across the Country Tonight there are more than 50 organized efforts by parents trying to oust local School Board members. Much of it has to do with critical Race Theory linking racial discrimination to americas foundation and legal system. Correspondent Anita Vogel has a Look Tonight at the showdowns. We live in a dangerously racist society. Crt is the opposite of good teaching. Two polarizing perspectives about whats being taught in classrooms across the country. Its whats leading many parents to run for their local School Boards to change things. Crt is poisonous. It teaches us to look at kids by the definitions that they come in with. Where they were born, what race they are, who their parents are. Thats wrong. Weve seen with covid the local School Boards have so much control over what happens in our childrens daily lives and it is really our last line of defense. To against the indoctrination of our children. A movement to recall School Board members is also growing around the country, up 54 so far this year from 29 last year. And a brandnew nonpartisan organization called free to learn aimed at helping parents navigate relations with School Boards, is besieged with phone calls. In the short time since our organization has launched two weeks ago weve heard from thousands of parents in all 50 states with various examples of Activist Curriculum that is not focused on academic achievement and academic outcomes and parents are frustrated. In loudoun county, virginia, six Board Members are facing a Recall And Incentive cisco, three others are likely to be ousted this fall. Reasons range from pushback over critical Race Theory and woke ideologies to School Boards not doing enough to reopen schools closed during the covid19 pandemic. So this is not a conservative or liberal issue, this is a parent issue. And parents may have reason to be worried. According to a recent study by the program for international student assessment, u. S. Students rank well behind countries like canada and estonia when it comes to reading, riding, and math. Shannon. Shannon all right, Anita Vogel, thank you so much.

Usable breaking tonight, Anotherrecords Forecast for the western u. S. This weekend with officials in california once again urging residents and businesses to reduce using energy to relieve stress on the power grid. Chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt is tracking it all tonight from our west Coast Newsroom in Los Angeles. Good evening, jonathan. Good evening, shannon. Its getting hot out here in the west. At yet Heat Wave building and predicted to be at its worst and potentially most deadly from friday into monday with some 28 Million people likely to be dealing with Triple Digit Temperatures from Southern California to washington state. The region is tinder dry, making wildfires more frequent, more destructive, and more widespread. Were dealing with things that we havent done before on our side of the mountain. In california have a number wildfires and amount of land burned so far this year is even higher than it was in what was considered a terrible year in 2020. Cal fire says between January 1st and july 4th, there were nearly 4,600 fires that burned about 115 square miles, more than double the area burned during the same period last year. Many scientists say Climate Change is an obvious factor in the extreme weather. The resulting fires and the ongoing drought. California Governor Gavin Newsom agrees. World recordbreaking temperature here in the state of california, Death Valley last august, projecting 128 this weekend. Those are the effects of Climate Change. Here its real. Humaninduced, and its happening. And the evidence of drought is most obvious at lake mead, the largest reservoir in the u. S. , now below 40 capacity and still falling, already at an alltime low with the federal government poised to declare a formal wattle to Water Shortage in which likely triggering major Water Restrictions for million people in nevada, arizona, and california. In the Heat Wave we are just entering now can only make matters worse in terms of drought, fires, and perhaps most immediately heatrelated deaths. Hundreds died in oregon and washington as a result of last Weeks Record shattering heat and officials fear many more will be at risk this weekend. Shannon. Shannon i write, jonathan, be safe out there, thank you. Also on the West Coast tonight, an earthquake measuring 5. 9 rattling Central California in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. The earthquake triggering a Rockslide Caption on cell phone video. Check it out, you can see the Dirt Clouds Rising from the hillside and boulders in the roadway as drivers try to navigate around them. Turnover luminary reports of damage or injuries. Thats the good news. It is time to bring Kevin Corke back to talk about our favorite thing. Hes got a little Midnight Snack experiment for us and, kevin, the internet is a buzz right now over the real reason behind the shapes and the edges of Ritz Crackers and its not just about looking cute. What did you find out . I have to admit i was surprised by this, to be honest, but according to ritz, the richest as you know they have little ridges around crackers, they are actually much abused, believe it or not, shannon, for cutting things like, you know, things that you put in between your crackers, like cheese, for example. They say thats the real reason but the crackers have riches. You just roll them right over the soft cheese and its supposed to click a bit of a knife if you dont have one, which i was like is that really true . I didnt really buy it, so let me show you this. All right, here we go, so we got the Ritz Crackers and we are going to see if, like they claim, you can actually, lets just say, divide the cheese with the cracker chips. We got a little chatter it looks like here. Weve got a little provolone here and i think this looks like a colby, so im going to start out with the colby. They claim that youre supposed to use the ridge of the cracker as sort of a De Facto knife to divide the cheese and as i sort of Roll It on this, you may think that im really pressing at heart but im really not. I hate to say there right see . There you go. That was one of the concerns that the cracker itself might break but ill give them credit, it actually did divide the cheese. Im going to try it again with whats left of this particular cracker and honestly, it did do a decent job with that one. Mistretta provolone and see if it does. Reduction works i know i can switch it up here. So lets pretend that you dont have a knife. I guess you could use a Ritz Cracker. How about the swiss . Swiss is a little softer cheese, i imagine it should do no problem with that when it again im just going to use the edge of the Ritz Cracker as a De Facto knife and as i pull this up here that didnt work so well with this particular well, not so bad, not so bad. Bottom line is they claim that thats the real reason there are ridges on this Ritz Cracker. What you say . Shannon how do we get to how did we get to this point in our lives without ever hearing a before . I feel like Ritz Crackers have been around like since our grandparents. I dont know. I will tell you that when couple months ago i was down in texas at first baptist month the pastor who was on with us a lot and Fox News invited me to come down and talk about my new book and i was talking to people there about how weve been doing church at home for a year and how we are using Saltine Crackers and Cranberry Juice at home to do communion and a lady there in texas told me theyve been using Sweet Tea and Ritz Crackers to do their communion at home. So this is being used for all kinds of things apparently [laughs] listen, for me its great drink and whatever bread i can find, you know what im saying . So its all good. I would say this though. I like this idea of Talking Snacks maybe its just me, do you like this, Mary Pat . Like when we get a chance to talk food at night . I think we should do more of this. Shannon i do too and i think we could just call it Midnight Snack that i think its going to happen, we can manifest it. I love it, well done spoon okay, i will see you back for some good news in just a little bit. Good stuff later, see you in a bit. Shannon thank you, kevin. Seattle sees its deadliest june in a Decade And Toyota caves after being accused of supporting whites from a c. We will explain in the Lightning Round next. Location, location, location.

Shannon seattle is bracing tonight for potentially recordbreaking year of violent crime numbers. Last month saw 125 spike in the Citys Homicide Rate from june of 2020, which is not exactly peaceful time. Lets bring in seattle Talk Radio HostJason Rantz for tonights Lightning Round. Jason, great to see you. You are reporting on this. You talk about how bad the numbers are and you say will this be the Summer Of Love the sequel. How does the summer look like its shaping up there in seattle . Right now its just not looking good. Last year, just for contest, was a 26 year high Homicide Rate and so going into this year we are already trending higher than where we were last year. Its obviously not a good sign of things to come and we are hearing the same thing from Police Officers saying the trend is clearly going in the wrong direction, we are not staffed to handle this, and we are seeing an alarming surge of Gun Violence. A lot of it is gangrelated, though not all of it. A couple weeks ago you and i had the conversation with a homeless person who now stands accused of stabbing someone to death. So this is continuing and the City Isnt talking about it. Theyre not taking this seriously. We are from cops, we hear from the Police Chief but thats kind of it. Shannon well, i mean, theyre on the front lines and its so many things, they are understaffed, the morale is down, they dont feel like prosecutors asked the going to prosecute charges against people they do take the time to arrest. So many things working that are not a good thing. On to our next situation, our next Lightning Round item. This is toyota. The Lincoln Project has gone after toyota, basically linking them to watch the premises because they give their pac gives to all kind of people across the political spectrum, but that included people, republicans, who objected to the Electoral College in 2020. So just to remind people about the Lincoln Project, this is how Fox News has summed up where theyve been recently. Its a controversial group due to its vitriolic Advertising Style and bizarre sense of selfimportance. They imploded earlier this year over multiple scandals. Its humiliating year has involved accusations of financial skulduggery at a homophobic and toxic Work Environment as well as the decision to publish the private messages of its lone female Cofounder Jennifer Horn in apparent retribution for talking to a report about the groups problems. But today they are now celebrating this victory they say getting toyota to not give money anymore to have any of the people who are on that list. Of my question is are they going to also send them back to 2016 won a number of democrats who challenged the Electoral College results when President Trump at won, were talking about people that you would no, like Maxine Waters and, you know, jamie raskin, and others. How far will this go . My own congressman in seattle did the exact same thing. I mean, toyota is run by a bunch of cowards and are doing this because they feel like they have to. They feel like the political pressure is going to be too much because the folks who are potential consumers will actually punish them for these things. The Lincoln Project gets to do this, right . They have the right to go after any of these companies. Just because youre a bunch of grifters of questionable morals, you still get to engage in this kind of stuff. I just wish they wouldnt. Because the end of the day its going to force republicans to engage in the exact kind of strategy to combat this to ensure that, look, if youre going to do it to us, and we are going to do it to you. There has to be some kind of mutually assured destruction her or its going to continue to go down this path that i think is just dangerous. We should be targeting any company with the slaughter of White Supremacy or white nationalist. Can we stop . Has there ever been aware that used to mean something that used to really sting and used to really hurt because it we used in a way that no longer matters anymore . If everything is racist, if everything is whats a premises, while the nothing is. Shannon yeah, but toyota, you know, they were worried about this. They put out a state with that says in part like we know that some of our stakeholders were troubled about us giving money to these people, were listening to them, we decided to stoppage riveting. They contested the certification and no mention of 2016 and the democrats who did it back then, but the Lincoln Project and youre right, Free Speech and they can put out these ads, they got a very specific mission and what theyre doing. What they are now saying is listen, we are glad that toyota agreed with us, lets talk abut the rest of corporate america, so clearly they feel like the strategy worked. It did with toyota. Theyre going to keep doing that with other corporations. Absolutely and heres the problem the corporations have to figure out or any business that is going to give into this kind of bullying. Im presuming that toyota decided to donate to who they donated because they believe that those congress members or senators hold values that can help them as a company. So you cant have it both ways. So youre either going to go down this path to try to make people like the folks who run the Lincoln Project happy, which are never going to. Youre never going to please them. Youre never going to please the woke or you can do whats in the best interest of your company and a moral way and simply siding with the Lincoln Project here and pretending that doing any sort of financial contributions to some of the senators is somehow immoral or unethical or in support of sedition, youre just hurting yourself and at the end of the day theyre going to have to course correct because if they dont theyre going to suffer just more than just some shortterm political consequence. Shannon Jason Rantz, always great to see you, thanks for stopping in. Thanks, shannon. Shannon see you soon. Marylands governor says employers in his state of struggling to find workers, just one of the reasons he says its time to cut off the extra 300 a week in Unemployment Benefits. Now hes getting sued for doing that. Our legal eagles are up next to answer the question, is it legal . Enough, crohns for adults with moderate to severe crohns or ulcerative colitis.

Shannon just hours from now the national debate over enhanced Unemployment Benefits versus Worker Shortages is going to play out in a baltimore courtroom. Thats where lawyers from Maryland Governor Larry Hogan will argue he was completely within his rights when he announced the state would stop taking the extra 300 a week on appointment benefits from the fed, so is it legal . Lets debate. Enter Stallman And Bob bianchi. Lets start with exhibit a, this is Governor Larry Hogan announcing theyre going to end those extra benefits he says while these federal programs provided in the Court Vaccine and jobs are now in good supply and we have a critical problem where businesses across our state are trying to hire more people but many are facing severe Worker Shortages. Andrew. Well, look, i dont think theres any question that it is legal, but i think the more important question is should we do it . We still have an Unemployment Rate of about 6. 1 , which is much higher than the prepandemic 3. 9 , so let Chris Rock says, just because you can drive a car with your feet doesnt make it a good idea. These people are suffering, they should keep their benefits. Shannon full of wisdom. This is the democrat out of maryland that says this. Not only to the Governors Decision for us to thousands of maryland families into unnecessary uncertainty, but also reduced the strength of our economic recovery by needlessly forfeiting over A Billion Dollars in federal resources that would have been spent purchasing goods and services at maryland businesses, but bob, this is up to the states to decide. Yeah. The politicians can say whatever they want, but this is a legal topic and it has a legal answer and illegal answer thats been throughout all the states where this has been done and the judge has issued in maryland a temporary Restraining Order stopping the governor because the governor is the executive. He executes the law. The legislature in the state of maryland, it is argued, and the judge found, said that they should get all available benefits that they can from the federal government. Therefore the governor does not have discretion to stop that funding. If that Law Wasnt in place he would have that discussion.

Shannon so exhibit c is more from the governor. He says even present biden has said that states have every right to do whats best for our economies. Unconfident the courts will rule in favor of getting marylanders back to work supporting struggling small businesses and continuing our economic recovery. So that temporary Restraining Order is there blocking the governor blocking from blocking the extra benefits. He feels confident theyre going to win, i will give you both a final word on this, and are to you and then bob. I dont know. I dont think you know, i dont think its going to be struck down but you never know what happens, especially with the publicly elected judge, but a certain hope those benefits stay in place. Shannon, so far every courts that reviewed this has basically in the conservative states has said that if there is a state law, the Government Cant violate it because the governor is supposed to execute the laws, not substitute his judgment for the legislatures. The courts already ruled in favor of the unemployed and i think theyre going to continue to do that in this situation legally. Shannon all right, we will track it and let our viewers know.
