okay no zionists, we are good. >> trace: breaking tonight, it looks like new york city subway, it sounds like nazi germany 1938 as an anti-israel mob declares open season on their fellow passengers and fed up california district attorney living in the state capital now suing his city for failing to deal with the disaster is homelessness crisis. meantime big blue states, even some red states, are seeing a mass exodus and a lot of people are fleeing because of politics. if your state doesn't share your political views, would you consider leaving or stay and fight? where want to here your stories in the nightcap but we begin with the left in a move that smacks of desperation. watch. >> for all his calls for president biden to undergo some kind of cognitive test, it's clear to say mr trump's remarks are not coherent in these rallies. >> trace: the mainstream media trying to change the narrative, now arguing that trump is the presidential candidate that is lacking mental capacity. senior national correspondent kevin corke is live in dc with more on this interesting pivot. >> reporter: interesting indeed, good evening my friend. to be fair in print it sounded a little worse than what she actually said it, however when pbs anchors said it was clear that former president trump's speeches were not at all coherent when comparing his speeches to those given by president biden, it's fair to say the comments seemed to lack context. in the segment for example pbs compared a prompter list donald trump at a nevada rally to joe biden's prepared remarks in france, is it that measure alone could explain biden's deer in the headlights look at the juneteenth celebration or any number of mumbles, stumbles, fumbles or nodding off. >> for all his calls for president biden to undergo some kind of cognitive test, it's clear to say mr trump's remarks are not coherent in these rallies. >> mr trump's remarks have never been super coherent in his rallies. >> reporter: off the cuff at a rally not quite the same is prepared remarks. critics argue that suggesting joe biden's lost a step is to state the obvious and no amount of gas lighting can change that. this has more media figures like rachel maddow and former cnn opinion asked brian stelter outwardly worried that if reelected, president trump might punish, you know, the media and in particular people like them. of course rampant inflation and billions in foreign war funding and a crisis of the southern border and surging crime, as if those things would not have top billing on his presidential to do lists. >> trace: you think they might squeeze in there somewhere. kevin corke live in dc, thank you. >> you bet. [♪♪] >> trace: the "fox news @ night" commonsense department can't believe the left has taken another swing at another nonsensical ridiculous theory, but here we go. the new democratic campaign strategy appears to be a new realization that former president trump is the candidate who is not coherent. the biden campaign now contends that joe biden's memory is clear as a bell, donald trump's muddy as hell. commonsense would remind you these are the same people who defunded police then blamed republicans for defunding police. the same people who opened the border and blame republicans for not closing it. the same people who manufacture collusion and accuse the right of assaulting democracy. commonsense is guessing it's the old can't beat him, join him philosophy but after years of watching president biden stumble on stairs, stumble onwards and tumble off bicycles back to the democrats think the country is suddenly going to believe that it's trump who lost his mind and biden who found his equilibrium? shall we forget that special council said biden's memory is hazy, fuzzy and faulty and just accept that trump's memory is now foggy, soggy and aimless? commonsense smells campaign desperation. you are accusing the former president of being really old when the current president is really older. without let's bring in the host of the tudor dixon podcast, former michigan gop candidate tudor dixon and the host of a home that heals podcast got former tv news anchor dee sarton. welcome to both of you. to you first, tutor, i want to play this media mashup montage. biden is just fine but trump is losing it. watch. >> yeah, he's older, that doesn't mean that he is unfit. in fact if you actually listen to his speeches and you look at his record, he's been a very effective president and there's a lot of ageism there. >> for all his calls for president biden to undergo some kind of cognitive test, it's clear to say mr trump's remarks are not at all coherent and these rallies. >> trace: i guess when the media is trying to convince us we've got this whole thing backwards, tudor, it just feels like they are reaching. >> while they do believe that they get to tell you what to think fact that they should be able to control your mind, but i also think that there's a chance that they don't understand good policy and so when they hear donald trump speaking, they are confused by it because they think what would it be like to have a good economy, to have a closed border, how could this possibly be true? it must be nonsensical. >> trace: it really is. dee, here's the view. watch. >> if this was your father, you would take him in for a neurological exam. so people talk about joe biden being old. yes, joe biden is old. so is donald trump and donald trump is senile, incoherent, crazy, offensive, outrageous, disgusting, evil and convicted. >> trace: dee, i'm well aware that the media marching orders is weaker to say that trump is crazy, but as a rule, if you are going to call somebody crazy and that he's senile and so forth, you have to show examples, you have to tell us why, you give us some reasoning. you can't just say i hope everyone believes it. >> well yeah and you would think that they would show it if they could because if that video was out there, you know they would string it together. kind of like fox does with president biden and show us what they are talking about. but then you list those adjectives, so many adjectives, senile. that one i think is gonna show them eventually that the american public is not stupid. we have eyes to see and ears to here and what is right in front of us is pretty evident. >> it really is and it's funny because msnbc, you might have heard this, thinks that trump would put her in a camp and a former see any -- cnn host said this about that. >> i talked to the heads of news organizations, ceos that are thinking through, not in dramatic fashion, not because they are afraid of going to jail, but because they want to know what could trump do to use his power in the second term to punish the media. >> trace: to round us all up and put us all in jail. the drama. every night the drama, tudor, it's unbelievable. >> this is a desperate attempt for someone to bring brian stelter back on the air regularly because he desperately wants to show that he can be that guy. once you get kicked off, that's all these people think about, how do i get back on? so i'm going to make trump sound like he's going to put us all in a camp, but there is a part of me that says what if they actually believe this, because this is what they would do? because you only believe something if you think gosh, it's possible, we would do this. and i think that's a scary part because as we have watched what they've done with criminal trials net with trials across the country, donald trump is just one of many republicans that they've gone after. this is their mindset. when they say something, we should listen because just like they are saying joe biden is not having dementia problems and trump is, the reverse is generally true with them. >> trace: like we are saying about the protesters. when somebody tells you something, maybe it's time to believe them. george stephanopoulos says the following, "i think it's journalistic malpractice to do a live interview with president trump on television." yeah, let's censor the former president and possibly the future president, was just censor him. everything he says has to go through a filter. come on. >> i think it's journalistic malpractice, refusing to try to understand why half of america supports donald trump, trying to understand that worldview and in some way call yourself a journalist and do some digging and understand it so that you can report fairly. i just don't get how they call themselves journalists when they are not willing to do that. >> trace: you are exactly right. that would be journalistic malpractice, to just not let him speak and filter everything but you know what that's the way it is. tudor dixon, dee sarton, thank you. now let's get to the politics of these renewed attacks on former president trump with fox news contributor's jason chaffetz and steve hilton. steve hilton kind of sitting here listening to the whole thing. so karl rove wrote the following, "mr trump's base is more enthusiastic about him then democrats are about mr biden whose supporters are motivated more by their dislike of the gop candidate if this persists the election will become a contest between voters lack of passion for mr biden and their hostility towards mr trump." you talk to political analysts and they will say it's better to have enthusiastic voters than those who don't care. >> exactly. it's hard to imagine anyone being even vaguely enthusiastic about biden. given his performance. this idea that it's biden who's actually performing well and it's trump is performing poorly, you used the word desperate, it's actually delusional. if you look at the example they gave, the nevada rally where president trump was complaining about the prompter and then he improvised. and this is what he does, he goes in and out and speaks sometimes for two hours and entertains a crowd, keeps them engaged, makes political arguments and makes jokes and that's what he does and that's why the supporters are enthusiastic. biden can't even do five minutes on a prompter without slurring his words and seeming completely ridiculous. this is why by the way we have to have the transcript, we need the biden tapes because if this is what biden is like in public, imagine what he's like and private. that's what we need to see. >> trace: we will talk about that coming up with pam bondi. meantime i want to put this out, these are trump act candidates, jason chaffetz, you have it here, and they just ran the table. what does that say to you? >> donald trump is the leader of the republican party. donald trump is perhaps the best retail politician we've ever seen. all of these pontoons who go out and try to belittle the president, he's incoherent and everything, they've never bothered to try to figure out what donald trump says -- pundits -- and how he says it, they don't understand the average american, they don't understand blue-collar america, they are these east coast elitists who looked down on the rest of the world, meanwhile donald trump talks to the average americans and it paid off big for these candidates running last night. >> trace: speaking of the east coast, a poll in pennsylvania, keep in mind while we are putting those out, there's 49%, the number on the right, agree with the new york conviction and yet you've got donald trump beating joe biden in pennsylvania. he takes pennsylvania, it's over. >> this is what's been happening every single stage of this completely outrageous and corrupt election interference plot by the democrats. they keep saying when he's indicted his support will fall away. when the trial begins and he's in the court's support will fall away. when he's convicted got to support will fall away. never has it once happened and now i guess they are saying when he's in jail, is support will fall away. you have to believe based on past experience that his support will grow stronger because people can see through the outrageousness of what they are trying to do. interfere in an election. >> trace: and you see the support. look at this, jason chaffetz, block support in pennsylvania, 2020 joe biden had 92% and now it's down to 68%. former president trump from 7% to 23%. that is a significant shift, jason. >> they care about the economy, they care about inflation, they care about being able to get a job, they are concerned about things that everybody else is concerned about. they are no different than any other american but they know that joe biden is not up to the job and it's not good enough to go and say i've got a vice president who fits a certain profile. people aren't buying it. if you are not competent you are not competent and people understand that and that's why donald trump continues to thrive and joe biden and kamala harris can't draw 50 people to a dog show. they just can't do it. >> trace: jason chaffetz, steve hilton, thank you. house republicans are now calling for consequences for the dozens of intelligence officials who signed on to a memo branding hunter biden's laptop as russian disinformation in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election. bill melugin is live with the new information on that. >> reporter: good evening trace. now that hunter's laptop has proven to be very real, republicans haven't forgotten about the 51 so-called intelligence officials who claimed it was all russian disinformation right before the 2020 election. >> it bears the hallmarks of russian disinformation. >> to me this is lassoed textbook soviet russian tradecraft at work. >> reporter: gop lawmakers are calling for repercussions against those pro biden intel officials, arguing they should be fired, criminally prosecuted or even thrown in jail. >> i think their clearances need to be revoked. i think there needs to be an investigation into everyone. >> one hundred% absolutely there should be repercussions. that's what the american people are frustrated and tired about, they see all these people doing all of these horrible things, using the deep state to go after trump and russia collusion, all alive. >> reporter: following hunter biden's gun convictions this week, reporting that president biden told a person close to him "if i weren't running for reelection, he would have gotten the plea deal. ." that of course a reference to the sweetheart plea deal that fell apart last july, trace. >> trace: thank you. let's bring in the cochair of the america first policy institute's center for law and justice, former florida attorney general pam bondi. great to have you on the show as always. quickly the hunter biden trial, the administration has ruled out pardon, so they say, but not a commutation which i'm confused. they respect to the verdict, they said a bunch of times, but they apparently have not committed to respecting the sentence. >> yeah, so a pardon means that the charge, the conviction just disappears got goes away. a commutation is very different. it means that if hunter biden is sentenced to prison or jail time , president biden can come in, snapped his fingers and release him from jail. he never mentioned that, he never mentioned commuting, not commuting his sentence so i firmly believe if hunter biden will never spend a day in jail nor prison based on his dad's statements. >> trace: i want to get your take on this that bill melugin was reporting on because it's kind of past and it will be tough to dredge it up again but it's important. i want to play a media matchup of the laptop lies. watch this. >> i think it's broadly known and widely known that there was a broad range of russian disinformation. >> the origins of this whole smear are from the kremlin. >> classic textbook soviet russian tradecraft at work. >> looks like a classic russian playbook disinformation campaign. >> the u.s. authorities are seeing if those e-mails we just talked about our connected to an ongoing russian disinformation effort. >> trace: they lied, they brushed it under the rug and as far as i can see, there will be no consequences. do you see things differently? >> no, of course there will be, especially if joe biden is reelected. here's why it's so important. that laptop contained crucial information that could have affected the last campaign. this time biden has lied multiple times about this. he said he had no interest, nothing to do with his sons foreign business dealings. we know that's not true. all of this information was on the laptop that they said was russian disinformation. russian disinformation. now we know it's all true, everything to tie the biden family into hunter's foreign business dealings. and don't forget that is why they tried to impeach president trump the very first time, because he asked president zielinski one question, look into hunter biden's for his -- foreign business dealings. >> trace: it is crazy. the house voted to hold attorney general mayor garlic in contempt for refusing to release the audiotape of biden's interview with special council. i know it's largely symbolic but is this significant in any way to you? >> it is symbolic and here's the problem. you know who would decide if he's prosecuted? merrick garland, the justice department, so it's not going to happen under his administration but sure, it's very important that they do that because hurr released the transcript so the transcript of joe biden is out there so there's no privilege, nothing to protect that audio recording and i think the biggest fear is that they altered it, that they altered the transcript. so why wouldn't he release it other than it's going to show joe biden stumbling around, pausing his words and i have a feeling the transcript may have been altered a little bit at least. >> trace: we have asked that question a thousand times. why not just release it? there's always a reason. pam bondi, great to have you on as always, thank you. coming up, more anti-semitic comments heard in new york city on the subways, almost sounds like nazi germany circa 1938. and later in the nightcap... >> in 2021, california had seven% of gdp growth, fastest economies on planet earth. the state continues to be the tenth pull of the american economy. i love this state, don't count us out. >> trace: despite gavin newsom's california love got new numbers show that many people, many people are leaving the golden state. also leaving the empire state and even some leaving the sunshine state. if your state does not share your politics, would you consider leaving, or better to stand and fight, and why? let us know x and instagram @tracegallagher, we will read your responses and there's a bunch of them coming up in the nightcap. we are coming right back.
