and articulate how cartels operate the smash and grab rings and they are driving up price hikes in suburban. we just reported the cia is complicit with the cartels. earning side money for their black ops and docking oversight. the cia. >> reporter: agents up the chinese lab league. the cia was, conspiring with taji to spin wuhan. tech monopolies are conspiring with the object to the sensor is. the food industry is poisoning us in the pharmaceutical industry is prescribing us fake pills for profit. the american middle class feels preyed upon by forces it can control. voters are yearning for an adventure. somebody to protect us from our own government. coaches feasting on the -- vultures feasting on the way of life we know and love. clear, crisp old solutions. anything less than that is johnny says, forget about it. and if trump were on stage, well, let's just say you are lucky he is not. trump is sitting on a 42 points lead. and all the other candidates are a stagnant. i wrestled in middle school and when you are pinning your opponent's shoulder blades to the mat, they scratch like a feral cat. so if these politicians on the stage tonight with ronald reagan watching down from heaven, don't show more tenacity than what we have seen so far, it will show western civilization that you don't think we are worth fighting for. joe biden is the most vulnerable position politically of his presidency. finish him. joining me now, america's newsroom coanchor bill hammer and fox news contributor charlie hurt. do you agree that these are the stakes? >> i think without a doubt and i think your comparisons to the roman empire could not be better. you know, at a time where we have this almost unprecedented corruption in washington and this disregard for what donald trump called the forgotten man and forgotten women. is -- you know, on the stage tonight, you know, going after donald trump, is not going to do any of these people any good because that is still where the party is and donald trump did a very good job of bringing the people to communicate to her remembering the forgotten man and woman. and so, you know, it is going to be interesting. you know, i think that without going after donald trump necessarily, these people have to make the case against the biden and against everything that is wrong with washington. >> jesse: you have covered these for years. let's just say you are experienced. how do you see the energy moving into tonight at 9:00? >> i'm gracious of you, jessie. i think you had a lot of things there. i see these primaries seasons whether republican or democrat, like a novel that we are already at the same time. and you can make a case that a month ago, it was the introduction of chapter one and tonight is chapter two. we're going to watch it together. i have three things on my mind going into this debate. number one is nikki haley. i think everyone is watching. she did very well and debate number one, the poll numbers reflect that if you look at what is happening in new hampshire and other polls that take on specific republican voters. can she be effective in back-to-back debates? that is question number one question number two, who -- as opposed to going after a republican on that stage. like reagan's first commandment, right? and i think about the economy inflation and the price of life in america and the border that you can watch live on tv if you choose to watch a network that covers the porter live on tv. and major americans cities have changed significantly and only three years. so who gives voice to these changes in america? keep an eye on that. i'm not quite sure. i'm not convinced yet that one of the seven can do it. with the skills that ronald reagan had in the third question that i have since you are in megan proffitt's, during his campaign, you can look at this stuff on youtube and find it for yourself. in october of 98, he has specific pro growth policies for what he would do when a country was on its economic back. he ordered to cut regulations. he want you to keep more of your money because he said repeatedly you can make better decisions with your money that the government can. who will push forward those programs american policies now and i will be listening for t that. >> jesse: charlie, we have not heard that yet. in 2016, you have the tax cut cut. >> had filled the wall. you had destroyed isis. these were very precise pronouncements that had vision. where have we heard any of that yet so far and should we expect that tonight. >> i think that is a very big reason why donald trump holds the lead that he holds right now is because none of the republicans, you know, on paper, you know, you take ron desantis. he ha has a tremendous record to stand on the he has been tremendous accomplished he has been tremendous accomplished was to play to and in florida, but he has yet been unable to help sort of captivate and capture it does vividly capture that sort of -- the kind of change that he wants to bring to washington. so that voters regular voters, you know, feel like he could be the fire for them. and they don't have that that about donald trump. they have a lot of other complaints about donald trump. but one thing they don't complain about him is they do believe that he is willing to fight against anybody for these things and you know, going back to your reference to roman empire, you know, double-checked identified very early on that those people who work, people who work in this country are some of the most disregarded and dismissed people by washington. and the only way out of this as bill talked about, talk about prosperity, is to encourage people to work and to celebrate people for working and celebrate people who do work. and we have seen it with this -- the strike, the fourth district, the uaw strike where you have donald trump doing a far better job than joe biden at appealing to uaw workers. it is about work. and the only way forward is where. and so it will be interesting to see. i have not seen any of the other republican candidates capture that the way donald trump does and if they don't, i think they're going to remain double digits behind donald trump. >> jesse: you have to align yourself emotionally and financially with the working class of this country which is a large majority of the country. bill hemmer, the one guy that is a worker that has not been a lifelong politician is perfect. he was pretty rambunctious the last debate. where do you see tonight with vivek? >> i think vivek ramaswamy has the fast life. and he has been very successful at it in the short 38 years. and i think doug burgum, the governor of north dakota has a fascinating personal life before he got into politics. he was an entrepreneur of the at a time when you know, he was getting into the software industry in the early 1980s. who was thinking that way back then? he turned it into a multibillion-dollar career. really fascinating stuff. he has not really -- he has not enunciated as well i think as he would like to print the point about trumpeter is not in the room, but he is very much in the room. but he is dominating these po polls. karl rove make a point with brandon a little bit earlier tonight. at first debate in milwaukee was on red bull. and he made a the point that reagan was always comfortable whenever he was in the settings or situations. and reagan used something that few politicians exercise today. that is humor. and he did it so effectively and just relaxed everybody at the same time. and the last thing i would add is who behaves tonight? you know. you got a great line, right. and you have been working on it and you want to stick the landing and you can't because somebody else is talking at the same time and the audience at home, hear it. travis boak, dana has a flyswatter and not afraid to use it. she will keep everybody in line along with the other co-moderators. charlie henry, great to. >> going to see. >> jesse: congress just released 700 pages of evidence proving the biden family was selling out our country for cash. hunter biden referred to access to his father joe as the keys to my family's only asset. he also discovered that joe biden hosted two of hunter's mexican billionaire clients at his official vice presidential residence in washington. and then through his son to mexico city on air force two so he could submit a deal. another piece of evidence when hunter was complaining he didn't have enough money. joe biden's brother jimmy text him saying don't worry. we will get joe's help for this to work. and more e-mails released proved to biden administration block foreign influence peddling investigations into joe biden. this explains why the cia wants biden to bow out before dirty laundry is exposed. and to market republicans host the first hearing of the joe biden impeachment inquiry. you can see that here on fox news channel at 10:00. up next, navigating the trump factor. ♪ ♪ we got the house! you did! pods handles the driving. pack at your pace. store your things until you're ready. then we deliver to your new home - across town or across the country. pods, your personal moving and storage team. ♪ ♪ every day, businesses everywhere are asking: is it possible?

>> oh, i think they have got to demonstrate tonight that they can't be enough. for 20 of them are going to be -- beat trump in 2024 and they understand the republican party is america first and america first is here to stay and they have to be clear -- be able to clearly them stay that they get it on immigration, that they understand we want the border security we want a merit-based immigration system. they understand we don't want any traders that are unfair to us. but most importantly, jes jesse, and, jesse, and this is where i really this is where i really think it gets to the hard of the matter. if they truly are america first and can articulate a foreign policy that is america first, they will be an enemy. it will be the will be the next enemy of the administration fi--administrative state, do thy understand that? do they realize that? do they have a plan? should they become the leader? should they win the white house and actually go into more and evolving the american because i think that is the thing, jesse, that is the thing moving forward. i think it is the greatest threat to our freedom. it is the is the greatest her to, a constitutional republic and understanding if you do not know that the administrative state is that big a threat, you have no right. you have no right at all to actually be worthy of the nomination of the republican party. >> jesse: you hear these guys will go -- talking to abolished the fbi. i'm going to make everybody get on their knees and beg for forgiveness. that is not a plan to execute a strategy. i mean, that sounds good in a sound bite. but we need more specifics. so how do you get up there and not just trump butt but also say you're going to get up there and hold the line against this assault on the american people. >> you can oh, i think they have got to lay out a very clear plan on how they're going to do a reduction in the force, the federal workforce. how they are going to do selective firing schedule. all of these things. lay out a very clear plan, step-by-step and how they're going to reduce federal government by 40% four years. if they don't have a plan and if they have not given it real thought, again, i don't think they are worthy of the nomination. and so it is one of those th things, you can have this quick little quips this quick little quips of sin, we are going to do away with the doj or the object. we are going to bring him to a healer. i want to hear a clear plan on how they plan to evolve the average state of state and return governments back to the duly elected representatives of the american people. because an addict again, the minministry of state is really doing most of the governing in dc and not really constitutional republic. how do they plan to actually restore the republic and return governments that are the duly elected representatives of the american people. unless they have a plan for the image they have not given any thought and if they have not given any thought, i don't know what they are running because they don't know what time it is picture with the revenge tour is already in full swing. recent charges, pulling licenses, with the people are looking over their shoulder producing he could pull it off. >> i think he could. i know for fact that there are some good plans in place for the first six months of a second trump administration on how they were going to address the administrative state and deal with it forcefully and bring it to the heel. i think he has a good plan. and i think he has to get the right people running potential personal they were and if he does that, unlike his chances. >> jesse: we will see how that shakes out picnic, as always, thank you so much. up next, philly at war. ♪ ♪ xvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. i chose arexvy. rsv?

>> business as usual of course, jesse and this has been this week since 2020 when people, drugs, violence and out-of-control teens were told that they could act this way and they could pass it off as a social justice for george floyd or whoever else and they can get away with it. the president was set in 2020 and until someone resets that president, this is going to continued. but i think the most interesting part is it was a ocl et cetera consequences who famously told us that these people have to do this because they need to feed their families. they need bread and they need eggs. including an iphone store. order sousaphones are much more tasty and nutritious than i ever thought because they're using those to feed their families. god bless them. >> jesse: god bless them, will cain, it is a must for these politicians that break through the american people tonight to discuss the scene in philly and make everyone go google it if they have not seen it already and that will galvanize the country if they have any leadership shots. >> will: and i think he used the operative word in their set up to our panel here, you, -- more than one occasion he used the word civilization because i think when you watch those videos and you come away with, is less a display of criminal activity and more display of a breakdown in civilization. and therefore the solution in the conversation has to be bigger than simply about the criminal justice system. those were people simply looking to do damage, to be uncivilized. they were not taking anything important. iphones were at the top of the list. they were taking bottles of liquor and snacks. and by the way, jesse, you would sit there and go, how stupid do you have to you have to be to risk it all for some tito's vodka? you know? and then film yourself and put it on social media for the world to see so your guild is obvious? how stupid do you have to be? but then you say, well, maybe they are not stupid because they know ultimately that they will get away with it. there won't be a penalty. they could take whatever they want. there's no accountability. at the bottom line is what you're seeing here is the pillar of civilization. i want to hear a can they talk about this from a very broad perspective. yes, punish criminals. but please restore civilization. >> jesse: and tommy, who else from their crimes because they knew they could get away with it?
