and of course, the joe biden issue. we will get to that in a second. today, huge news, game-changing updates as it relates to biden bribery and money laundering scandal allegations. and biden's weaponized doj. new evidence coming out today, we would break the news and then later, it is very important in terms of an election year, especially for the commonwealth of virginia. virginia governor glenn youngkin will join us with the details straight ahead. and are the -- are rich virginia sherlita of changes in the near future? what would he tell us maybe about 2024. also tonight, a big announcement. the red state versus bowie state debate, posted by yours truly between florida governor ron desantis governor of california gavin newsom is now officially on. with the details at the end of the show. but first, bad news for your president, but joe biden is polling worse than ever. losing to donald trump by a whopping double digits. biden is now down 10 points. brand-new abc news washington post poll. and as much as democrats and the media mob would like to pretend that it is just an outlier, well, the last eight polls showed donald trump in the lead or at least tied with biden in a hypothetical matchup. and multiple polls of biden's approval is at an all-time low. even democrats are deeply unhappy with the 80-year-old. now occupies the white house particular. >> president. >> there's clearly a lack of enthusiasm because we as primary voters, do you want options next year besides by then? 59% said yes, they do. this is not a normal number for an incumbent. we asked the same question a year before double truck sought reelection, of republicans. only 37% wanted more choices then. that is a very high number. >> sean: that is -- when you lose, let's see, washington post, new york times. their joe perry you lose let's see, van jones, james carville, david axelrod, you are in trouble. biden's port is collapsing among several key demographics. that includes young voters, hispanic americans, african-americans, i wonder why. take a look. >> president biden: two of the great artist in our time, a legacy of hip-hop in america, ll jamie cool j. [laughter] bawek that boy has -- by the way, that man has biceps bigger than my thigh. >> sean: ll jamie cool? and first it was boy. okay. early in the week, biden confused congressional is hispanic caucus with congressional black caucus during a speech honoring the hispanic caucus. before that, he told the exact same story twice in a matter of minutes during a fundraiser. what does that indication of? let's think. not difficult to figure out. he also got lost on stage during an appearance with the result person. for getting even shake the guy's hands, walking off into nowhere land. now, of is your, biden's age is cognitive decline is a top concern among democrats and frankly, among every american. we got every week he brings more shame, more embarrassment, into the democratic party and friendly, to the country. and as the 2024 election is now approaching, new political threat is on the horizon as newsweek put it, quote, joe biden's nightmare election scenario may become true. has biden's struggles while possible third party candidates like robert f. kennedy jr., cornell west, gaining momentum. according to a recent poll, the third of democratic voters say they would vote for rfk junior if he runs as a third party candidate. is also concerned the no labels party. led by was reggie senator joe manchin. they could also run biden's chances or ruin them in a sense for election. he list the -- needless to say this, you can feel an overwhelming sales -- sense of anxiety infecting red. for the democratic party. don't expect kamala to replace joe at the top of the ticket. listen to james clyburn this weekend. sound like a real vote of confidence for her? >> return to the vice president harris. do you see her as the future of the democratic party? >> i see her as -- absolutely. >> future, though? is she the future of the democratic party? >> oh, she could very well be. it is not a given. she will have to compete going forward with whoever you may have dreams and aspirations. i think she will acquit herself while. >> sean: not a given. her? okay. this after the very first step in support of kamala harris, will yet another top democrat. take a look at this. >> is vice president come here is the best running mate? >> he think so in that is what matters. and by the way, she is very politically astute. i don't think people give her enough credit. >> do you think she is the best running mate? >> she is the vice president of the united states. people say to me, why isn't she doing this or that? because he is the vice president. that is the job description. you don't do that much. >> sean: he thinks so. and vice president basically do nothing. so democrats are unhappy with both biden and harris. now, there are very real fears that they will lose in 2024 and are justified. now, literally, the country's entire mess. biden's act frankly is beyond, in there anything we can comprehend ever happening. and, in a, loving middle-class family man joe has simply collapsed. the image has been shattered. the illusion has been shattered. black american c5 -- biden for who he really is, a morally corrupt liar willing to even this on his own four-year-old granddaughter for political gain allegedly used his struggling son as a bad men to collector unit, tens of millions of dollars for the family business. padre, coming in tonight, too, imbrenda will join us with a new report on how biden's weaponized doj helps shield the president and his son from legal scrutiny while aggressively pursuing legal action against biden's chief political rival. there will be donald trump. firster is not with direction, the ongoing panic inside the democratic party is texas senator ted cruz. senator, you know, there's a lot at stake here. look at the borders. a disaster, look at the economy. it is a disaster. more bad news. we have predictions, jp morgan chase. that they think a barrel of oil is going to a dollar 50. when you lose these top democrats in the media, that is the canary in the coal mine. now, if the media and prominent democrats start sounding like me, on biden family corruption, you will note the gig is up for joe. would you agree? >> i would. i think democrats are fleeing the ship like rats and i think they are scared. they're looking at joe biden. and listen, they got a structural problem. if you are a democrat running for reelection, in 2024, you can't run on the record. you can't run on jobs. you, one on the economy. usually can't run on inflation. you can run on crime. you can run on immigration with the guests at the southern border big you can't run on foreign policy. with the largest network in europe since world war ii. you can't run on standing with the military with the disgraceful surrender to taliban in afghanistan. every enemy of america has got stronger every -- every abandoned and more than two-thirds of americans recognize that bidenomics and by the way, how much does the white house regret naming it bidenomics? bidenomics has made life harder for working men and women. if you are a senior, and you go buy food at the store, you pay your bills, pay your rent you pay your electricity, the cost of everything has gone up. it is harder and harder to make ends meet. young people coming out of school who are discovering they can't pay their ran. he can't pay their car payment. and government, you try to buy a house, and you pay interest rates that have doubled and tripled, since joe biden was elected. and so if you are a democrat, you can't run on the record. what you do? you have to run on attacking donald trump. that is the only know they have is yes, our guy is a train work but we think the other guy is worse. and so sean, here is what i. and this is something i said last week on my podcast verdict with ted cruz, i think the odds are very significant that next summer, the democratic national convention, that the democratic party will generally send joe biden will throw him off the ticket and they will parachute in instead michelle obama to be the bookended the. i think you're going to look to michelle obama as the savior to come in and i think if that happens, that would be very, very dangerous and every time i see a democrat or one of their puppets in the press beginning the department of the problems with joe biden, every time that happens, the chances of that go up and up and up. >> sean: do you see michelle obama running back? -- wanting that? >> i don't know which show very well. but here is my thinking on this. if joe biden were out of the ticket, there would be a bunch of republicans really. you would have the top four, i think there would be kamala harris, pete buttegieg, elizabeth warren, and gavin newsom. i think that would be the top tier. i think they fight like crazy. in an open primary, i actually think in that primary, i think elizabeth warren wins. because i think elizabeth warren is the closest to the end of the democrat party. it is where they are. you think about it 2020, you have elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. splitting the crazy left wing socialist roombas plane of the democrat party. if one runs this time, she will dominate that lane. now, the problem is if you are a democrat who wants to win, that scares you. look at our kamala harris and kamo'i's numbers are worse than joe biden's. that scares you. and so i think as they are thinking about it, you could put in, if the democrats pick any of those four, you tick off the other three and risk alienating their supporters. i think michelle obama brings the obama pedigree. she paris schutz in with also the suit of armor of the first lady with high positives and relatively low exist and i think they can justify that everyone who gets snubbed, well, look, we went with michelle obama instead. i don't know if she wants it. but i do think it will be much more attractive to her to come in next summer and just campaign a couple of months to a general rather than having to spend two years campaigning vigorously on the ground. >> sean: let me ask you, now that his cognitive decline seems to have significantly worsened and the condition would be to two. you don't get better. you are only going to get worse. i mean, it was an off week last week for not a good week, we can't as well. when you, well that with the horrific economy that we have, now we see inflation roaring back. that is not good. receive record gas pricing. you look at the border chaos. it is never been this bad. every year becomes a new record. and they can lie all day one and say the border is secure. it is not secure. the border is closed. it is not close. they are just lying about it. high cost of the energy. horrible economy. horrible foreign policy. paying ransom now to iran. just one example. i mean, can anybody with -- that many strikes again, against t them, if peace and prosperity drive all elections, can they win? >> will, they can't win on the traditional test. the standard way to run is to say, are you better off than you were four years ago. and for virtually everyone in america, the answer to that is no. unless you happen to be a mexican drug boss. unless you happen to be a tech kingpin, the answer is no, your life is not better under joe biden and so, if they can't run on the record, they have to run on scaremongering. they have to run on it saying donald trump is the embodiment of evil and it is all they can do. and look, you talk about mental decline. listen. joe biden in the last 2 1/2 years, they hide him in the basement every day. we sit around. so senate republicans, we have lunch together every tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. and we sit around at lunch and talk about the fact how none of us have spoken to her joe biden since he became president. i have not said a word to him since he became president. might say, okay, cruze is a right-winger. you -- lindsey graham has not spoken to biden since he became president and joe and lindsay traveled all over the world. they have been busy for their studies for 20 years. the white house keeps them in the basement. because he is not up to talking with us and i got to say, it is disconcerting, you know, sean, it reminds me, i saw a bumper sticker this summer. the bumper sticker said, joe biden is not an idiot. joe biden. has dementia. the people who voted for him are the idiots. there's a lot of truth to that and look, and it is one thing if you did it the first time. if you did it the first time, with the campaign was, we're going to go back to the east are used to a kinder gentler world where things will be fine and some people found that attractive. well at this point, you have seen the train back. i can't tell you how many voters i have talked to, how many i have heard from who say, wow, i thought i didn't like where things were but they are so much worse now. people who voted for joe biden who are regretting it as they are seeing how their life is war and i think that is one of the reasons why more and more democrats are getting nervous and wanting to chosen by the sun altogether. >> sean: senator cruz, thank you. and now tonight, the in the report from john solomon. just this.com. fbi supervisory cooperated claims from two irs whistleblowers who accused doj prosecutors of slow-walking and charges against hunter biden tax evasion. money laundering and violations at the very same time according to a report, from the washington times, ," the biden justice department actually post for an aggressive approach to the subject of classified documents that are trump home after overruling agents who wanted to give this another try and work with the lawyers to get the president's cooperation. brg. i thought the doj promised never to get involved in that sort of thing. white glove treatment f for hundred and the biden family syndicate versus a surprise raid at mar-a-lago. wants us to believe that the doj is acting in good faith. now also tonight, according to a bombshell reports, per the new york post. rented turbine were allegations of corruption at the highest level. according to devonne, a witness has no surface and is offering new evidence. a mold to our hunter biden in the southern district of new york against his chinese business partners. allegedly this tip occurred in the very same day that hunter threaten his chinese business partners in that whatsapp message and appeared shakedown and involving his father. you know the one sitting here with -- and would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. and then going on, i will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows, and my ability to hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. i am sitting here waiting for the call with my father. a few days later, wow, $5.1 million. wired into a bank account associated with hunter. what are we to make with this? fox news contributor near post-communist writing divine. randy, everything we knew walls are closing in. brayton lee for that. this is a big deal. >> look, i think so. every time that another piece of the jigsaw puzzle is slotted into place. it just looks worse and worse for joe biden. we see he had that -- this whatsapp message that was picked up by the fbi in a surveillance word for hunter biden's icloud during that irs investigation in delaware. we know enough thanks to irs whistleblowers that hunter biden was -- said that he was sitting with his father. we know from his laptop, he was in delaware. that we can. and he is shaking down one of his chinese business partners. were as you said, millions of dollars, $5.1 million came to him nine days later. and what is new now is that the timing of that whatsapp message was exactly the same day that patrick how one of those chinese business partners got the tipoff to get out of america asap. he would have call for shanghai a few hours after hunter biden had that whatsapp message. and he was told to drop everything and gets out of america. now, what we are told by gelof who is the israeli fugitive who has been hit with a bunch of fair violations and gunrunning charges by the southern district of new york, and is on the run, what he is telling us is that the chinese told him that there was an fbi mole that hunter had that had told them that they were four indictments in the southern district of new york against hunter biden's chinese this is partners. and at some point, the tipoff went to patrick holmes, the very same day that hunter biden is having these whatsapp messages and talking about highly sensitive and confidential information. patrick r.o.s job, get out of town, he leaves the next day. he gets on a plane, goes to hong kong. and stays there for 4 months. but not before according to this guy, to love, who as i say is a fugitive but, i mean, went around the bidens is pretty shady. he says he talks to patrick hold regularly. that patrick powell claims that hunter biden and jim biden visited him in hong kong. and asked him to buy them two burner iphones. and then they told him the coast is clear. you can go back to the united states. so he followed their advice. when back to the united states, and was immediately picked up and in november of 2015 at jfk airport by the southern district of new york and charged with bribery and money laundering. now, hunter biden was the first person. he wanted to call. he had jim biden and hunter got $1 million to represent past year. but he passed it off to another lawyer. asked him, can you give me the name of your fbi contact? >> sean: wow. your, and i will tell you, miranda, traffic reporting. the walls are closing and really tight now and even the media will not have to start covering this. mark my words. and that will be in for joe biden. they will push him out. thank you for that. we appreciate it, rent a divide. biden's legal immigration crisis continues to spiral out of control. sara carter has an exclusive report on how bad it is in chicago later, dated the statement said. the state versus stay red versus blue debate between governor gavin newsom, ron desantis, right here on the show. full details straight ahead. ♪ ♪ - [narrator] wounded warrior project helped me find the strength to go further than i ever thought possible. - [narrator] i was able to come outta my shell and really connect with others. - [narrator] so i can feel like part of a team, part of the community again. - [narrator] it's possible to live better. - [narrator] it's possible to have a voice and to be heard. - [narrator] to feel understood. - [narrator] to find peace. - because i've experienced firsthand that anything is possible.

>> coming to you know, i thought it was a joke. and it was -- when they said they were going to be rushing in and now we are standing write outside and i'm seeing people walking in and out and down the street. it kind of seems like that is a little overwhelming. >> we don't know who is here. honestly, we don't need them here right now. i hate to say it. i'm sure there's some good people that have come over but we have to take care of our own. we have homeless veterans walking around with ptsd and no one takes care of them. we have no money for them but we have money for people that are not even americans?

as long as you move somewhere else, we are all for sanctuary status but not here. sara carter, very informative. thank you. of course, it is not only chicago. in new york, things are so bad the government is now called in the national guard because the police can barely manage the biden disaster at the border. illegals at one former hotel, turned children, they are now sleeping on the floor because the place is that overwhelmed. and nypd charges had his figure bitten off by -- look at that. age range illegal immigrant who slammed into a squad car and several other vehicles in queens, new york, during a drunk driving joyride. and then attacked several officers while under arrest. me more, take a look at your screen. former congresswoman mayra flores is now sharing of a border patrol agent allegedly seriously injured. look at this. after reportedly getting into a fight with an illegal immigrant. and there are more coming. our very own griff jenkins reporting 11,000 people cross the border illegally and just the past 24 hours. and by the way, it shows no sign of slowing down and joe biden has no plan to deal with this at all whatsoever. except to lie to us is and say to border is secure in the border is closed. not true. here now with direction, fox news cale reeder ancilla marie to host jason rantz. lisa, let me start with you. it really is this bad that the thing that is frustrating to me more than anything is last week, they try to push the blame on the term administration. we have a record low numbers of illegal immigrants because they stay in mexico because of the wall. the miles of wall that he did build. i wish we would have finished it. but they rescinded all of that and then they put out the welcome mat. and then they, and they ate and abet the lawbreaking. so this is the predictable result. isn't it? >> yeah, you got to give trump credit for handling the immigration crisis. he did a good job under the biden administration but i think it is important to point out, too, how governor hochul is using the national guard. it is not to stop this chaos. it is to get work permits to the illegal immigrants who have come here which is then going to encourage more illegal immigrants to come here and also is going to surpass blue-collar wages which is something obama was talking about back in 2006. you know, a look, sean, i was looking at twitter today, and there were images going around of a venezuelan flag planted on texas soil. and if that does not sum up what is happening right now in america, i don't know what does. i mean, nation, a country is defined by its borders. and we know longer have borders. we are no longer a sovereign nation and is that khadim could look at this as an opportunity as kathy hochul has done for cheap labor and potentially a pathway for them to vote as joe biden is trying to give out ideas in states look toward automatic voter registration. so what is happening is wrong. americans are losing. and all of this and to be ho honest, it is downright evil for everyone. >> sean: you know, i don't know what else can be said except that we are talking about, you know, tens and tens and tens of billions of dollars with the american taxpayer burden. and that was part to the media, no one ever talks about, all the people that are not being vetted that come here bad intentions, caught enough people on the terror watch list, how many people got to. how many new terrorist cells are in this country as a result of these open borders? >> yeah, unfortunately it is a question we just don't know the answer to and that should scare the hell out of everybody. i research that issue, the crime crisis as it relates to the illegal immigration in my book, what is killing america. there are folks who want to put in and this is a talking point on the radical left. that illegal immigrants, they do not commit crimes more so than american citizens. it is part of this talking point to pretend that somehow, they are virtuous for wanting to come here and all of us who may be say, we got some rules but we are the bad guys. but we don't track that data when you are arrested, let's say you are in this country illegally and you are arrested in the century city were a state. they don't ask you what your nationality is. they don't ask you where we are blue origin, your country of origin is. to get that information. they do that interestedly. so that they don't have to, number one have the data that backs up the talking point that could potentially be used by the right. number two, they don't want to cooperate with the federal government. in any sort of deportation. so they are keeping all of the information secret while pretending that every single person who wants to come into the country is doing so for the right reasons and while i acknowledge that probably the vast majority do, that there is still a huge tank that do not. but they are taking advantage of a vulnerability within our national security. and they're going to continue to take advantage of it. and fortunately you got just immigration to worry about, or you have the homelessness crisis, and the crime crisis that both intersect on this particular topic. >> sean: all right, jason, appreciate it. thanks for being with us. always going to see was well. when we come back early voting has begun in virginia's legislative election. that is why. this year, this november, voting is open. voting has started. governor glenn youngkin will join us to explain why this election year is so important for his state and what it could possibly mean for the country. later, the debate, please state, a red state, can't talk about two different governing philosophies. gavin newsom, ron desantis, on this program. the details straight ahead. ♪ ♪ hi, i'm michael, i've lost 70 pounds on golo. i spent thousands on other diets that didn't work. on golo, i spent a couple hundred bucks and got back down to my high school weight. you're not gonna believe this thing is possible but it is. ♪ ♪ >> sean: and tonight, early voting is officially underway. in virginia's high-stakes election, yet this november. all 140 general assemblies seats are on the ballot. and with such a narrativize, both parties seem pretty confident that they will come out on top. time will tell. many of the nation's hot-button issues are on the ballot in virginia including tax cuts, parental rights, and education, abortion, governor glenn youngkin has been on the campaign trail stressing the importance of flipping the senate and maintain control of the house. in order to move forward with what he labeled as common sense conservative agenda. put in with the here now is governor glenn youngkin. going to have you back, sir. how are you?

have you thought about it at a all? >> sean, i have been totally focused on our 2023 elections and as you have just said, it is so important that we hold our house and prepare and send it. and in fact, if you may have just seen, joe biden came out and said that he is now going to fully weigh into our virginia state legislative elections. he sent 1 1/2 million dollars out of the dnc to try to find the other candidates who were trying to run against our very good slate of republicans. this has my full attention and it deserves an. we are going to hold our house and live our senate and show america that a state can fully change direction. >> sean: actually completely agree. the margin you won by was spectacular. i have written of the commonwealth of virginia just not winnable for republicans. you proved me wrong and in a good way. thank you. governor good luck. we will pay attention to race as we get closer. now straight ahead, senator bob menendez is finally spoke out about his federal indictment and what it means for his future in politics. you are not going to believe, he hired as a lawyer. it is a pretty good lawyer. got to give him credit for that. quick programming note. we have a live audience show this thursday night in new york city. tickets absolutely free. the day after the debate. the just go to hannity.com. get your tickets. jason chaffetz. you we got a great show. we hope you will join as the day after the debate. you can see me at the reagan library. ♪ ♪ about a cashew farmer from mozambique named carlos. carlos lifted himself out of poverty with the help of techoserve. go to technoserve.org and see how you can support struggling farmers like carlos. it's a different way to make a difference. we're traveling all across america, talking to people about their hearts. how's the heart?

i don't know if he is that good. >> even a toddler like abbe lowell will not be able to help bob menendez weaseled out of this one. and manages better having withdrawals slips and monthly statements if he thinks a jury is going to buy this ridiculous tale that, you know, half a million in whole cold hard cash was just innocently pulled from his own personal savings account. he can't prove that. because the fingerprints and dna as you play out, sean of his codefendant are on the envelope stuffed with hundred dollar bills and the hundred thousand and gold bars will sean does have the serial numbers on them and those numbers are linked to his codefendant. when you search the internet for the value right after your wife writes a thank-you note to a man who delivered them if they brought the kilo of gold themselves? they already know the value and the mercedes convertible. their sales records. sean, the paper trail in the end is going to do in bob menendez and the best lawyer in the world ain't going to be able to get him out of this practice it at this time. traveled let's your take. >> look, i think the defense is going to be similar to the hunter biden case. sean because let's think about it. hunter biden, but a luxury vehicle, right, hunter biden did not get $480,000 in cash or whatever it was. he and his firm got 20 million in cash. also, presenting, hunter biden also got a jewel. i don't know about you guys. i don't know about greg, sean. i don't remember ever getting paid in jewels. looked, you know, as if it is indiana jones or something. all of this is extremely suspect honestly, i think this paints the biden white house into a really tough corner because he got all the senators' nancy pelosi, just called for the resignation to occur of bob menendez. how are they going to distinguish between what menendez's wife did and what hunter biden did. i don't think there's much of a distinction here. remember all the democrats try to take a look at it was not joe biden. it was hunter biden. menendez's wife has the right to make a living. i'm sure the defense is going to be that she was being paid for her labor and that this was not a quid pro quo. but when i saw this entire indictment comes down, i looked at it and i said, this looks like when -- one tent or 11 hundredths of what hunter biden has been doing and sean, i wonder if menendez might go a little bit rogue here and say, hey, how could the department of justice come after me and not joe biden and then they start to get really messy. i think for other democrats. trauma that is a great analysis. i agree completely. how do you get over the fingerprints of people on the envelopes? greg, that is kind of hard to get a over. and by the way, clay is right. it was tens of millions. i'm sorry. go ahead. >> gregg: oh, yeah. it is so shocking how brazen menendez was. but you would think this guy would have learned his lesson the hard way. he was incredibly lucky to avoid prison in the earlier bribery trial sixth year ago. he beat the rap not because he was innocent. only because the jury was hung and the judge was forced to declare a mistrial that menendez was severely admonished by the senate but only after he agreed to repay the bribes. which is an admission of guilt. a disgrace to the u.s. senate. >> sean: hung jury. i will skip the money. it is not a problem. all right, thank you both. greg, thank you. clay, thank you. , unfortunately, that is all the time we have left this evening. before he go, a major programming announcement. but i will be moderating factors moderating a debate between florida governor ron desantis, california governor gavin newsom. , state versus red state. on november 30th, it is in georgia. i can't think of two polar opposites in terms of their state governing philosophy century state, versus non. height, income tax versus know income tax. you know, law and order, not the debate. anyway, energy. as always, thank you for being with us. set your dvr so you don't miss -- miss [cheers and applause
