but we still have a lot of hope that the debates or a debate will continue. finally, marcia ottoman asks spring ahead or fall back which do you prefer standard time or daylight savings time i say leave it standard time all year around. i like my hour of sleep. i'm a spring ahead guy. i like that extra hour of sunshine. tomorrow on "special report," new fox polls from arizona and pennsylvania on the 2024 presidential election. remember, if you can't catch us live, set your dvr, 6:00 p.m. in the east 3:00 p.m. in the west coast. thanks for invital us into your home tonight. that is it for this "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid. "the ingraham angle" starts real soon.

>> laura: hello i'm laura ingraham. thank you for joining us. this could be the night that both joe biden and donald trump clinch their party's nomination. polls in georgia close just moments ago. mississippi, they close at the bottom of the hour. we're not going to hear about washington state or hawaii until later tonight but we're going to bring you all those results as they trickle in. but, first, the collapse of the great biden cover-up. that's the focus of tonight's angle. ♪ all right, special counsel robert hur's report released on february 8th painted a disturbing portrait of a mentally confused and forgetful joe biden. democrats cried foul at the time. >> it's flatly wrong. it's inappropriate. it is gratuitous. >> gratuitous, inaccurate, and inappropriate. >> gratuitous and inappropriate criticisms of the president. >> i talked to president biden, you know, regularly. his mental acuity is great, it's fine. it's as good as it's been over the years.

>> laura: in response, republicans and the angle, we urge the doj to release the entire transcript of biden's five hour interview that occurred over two days with the special counsel's office. let americans see if hur's characterization of biden as a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory was accurate. and today, before mr. hur's testimony on capitol hill began, the transcript was finally released. now, it doesn't just confirm what we already knew about biden's dishonesty about the classified documents in his garage and his debilitated mental state, it's worse than we even thought. now, recall how the democrats went nuts. they were slamming mr. hur for supposedly asking president biden about his son's death. how dare you and noting in the report that he didn't remember when his own son bo died. well, biden himself responded as well with manufactured outrage. >> how in the hell dare he raise

that. frankly, when i was asked the question, i thought to myself it wasn't any of their damn business. >> laura: very dramatic, but, looking at the transcript, we find, in fact, mr. hur did not raise beau biden's death at all. president biden did. mr. hur asked president biden about where he kept work-related papers after he left the vice presidency. biden asked if it was in 2017 or 2018, and ned said remember in time frame my son is either -- been deployed or is dying. then he rambled on how the party would be hillary would be better in 2016. he hadn't ruled out down the road and then he said what was happening though -- what month did bo die? oh, god, may 30th? well, two of his aides added the year saying 2015. then biden was asked was it -- said was it 2015 he died?

again, his aide jumped in and said it was may of 2015. now, reading this, my first thought is dr. jill biden should be ashamed of herself putting her country and ashamed. special counsel hur oh everybody is going to be biden is fine. mr. hur is the problem? they should also be ashamed of themselves for their role in this cover-up. >> he is better than he has ever been intellectually, um, analytically, because he's been around for 50 years, this version of biden intellectually, analytically is the best biden ever. >> laura: really? even the generally pro-biden axios noted biden's repeated

mental lapses during the special counsel's interviews. when did i announce for president in 2019? if it was -- well, if it was 2013? when did i stop being vice president? in 2009. am i still vice president? and then he asked trump gets elected in november of 2017? well, of course it was november 2016. and axios then notes twice on the same day biden struggled to find the words for fax machine. now, ignore the democrats' feigned bravado and their desperate attempt to what we know to be biden's conduct and diminishing mental state. here's the truth. in hold guilty classified documents in unsecure locations across decades, joe biden was in violation of 18 u.s. code section 1924. but, as we know, mr. hur

exercised his prosecutorial discretion and chose not to prosecute biden because he thought it unlikely that a jury of his peers would vote unanimously to convict him. now, you can debate that or dispute that, but there it is. but the key fact here is biden himself was never exonerated in this report. despite the democrats' myriad attempts today to claim otherwise. >> president biden acted responsibly, cooperated completely, and the decision to decline criminal justice -- to decline criminal charges was relatively straightforward. the hur report represents the complete and total exoneration of president biden. >> the special counsel exonerates president biden. >> so this lengthy expensive, and independent investigation resulted in a complete exoneration of president joe biden. >> that is not that was used in tthe report. >> you exonerated him. >> did i not exonerate him that word does not appear in the router.

>> mr. hur, it's my time. >> laura: i love how they talk over him when he is the guy that did the examination. he is the guy who sat down with biden. he said he did not exonerate him and jayapal sitting there going oh, yes, you did. darrell issa picked up on all of this and reemphasized it. >> did you reach conclusion that this man was outright innocent? >> that conclusion is not reflected in my report, sir. >> and i -- i just want to make sure the record is complete in that because i think it's extremely important. you did not reach an idea that he had committed no wrong? you reached a conclusion that you would not prevail at trial and, therefore, did not take it forward; is that correct? >> correct, congressman. >> laura: he did not exonerate joe biden. but democrats all day long just pretended that they didn't hear what the man actually said. now, for its part, the white house responded today by saying in part that the transcript offers a more nuanced, i love

that word, nuanced view of biden during the five hours of the interview. nuanced? well, they are getting really creative at least. now, let me boil this all down for you. the first question did biden willfully retain classified documents? the answer is an unequivocal yes, he did. this conduct goes back 400 years to his senate days. now, one farther of the original report references a discussion between biden and his ghost writer, mark zwonitzer. he recalled biden said to him that he needed to be careful because he was worried that some of his notebook entries could be classified. >> okay. remember, a lot of the other interview tapes just disappeared. but there is a mountain of evidence that indicated that biden knew he possessed classified material and knew generally where the documents were stored in his garage and elsewhere. and the truth is, democrats, not

a single democrat cares. all their lectures about our national security secrets, jeopardized with trump and mar-a-lago, they don't believe any of that. that's all a farce. they never cared. just like they didn't care about hillary's private email server being vulnerable or her destroyed emails. didn't care about that, either. they are certainly not worried about what happens to america or preserving norms, even democracy, laws, forget about it. this is all a way to hold on to power with an iron fist. that's what they care about. the second question raised by hur's initial vort biden mentally fit to be president as a lot of you are asking. that was also answered in the transcript. the answer, most definitely, is no. again, the democrats claimed initially that it was all false biden is so smart, so sharp, better than ever. they implied that mr. hur, himself, was another partisan

hack. the real truth is all the main players in washington know what is real and what is not. they know what biden is like behind closed doors and it ain't pretty. they struggle to get him to focus, to make even minor decisions and they don't think the rest of us should know anything about this. the only way, and i mean the only way we can get the unvarnished truth is when biden is allowed by his handlers to go off script. and then he flounders. and then he stumbles. and we also get truth when we actually have a real transcript of just biden and the lawyer asking him questions for five hours over two days. everything else that you see, everything else that you watch involving biden and cameras is staged spend time at a memory care unit or rest home as i have with my ailing parents and

relatives, and then you, you know, walk around and you ask residents detailed questions about their lives, god bless them all. and you'll know what it's like to be robert hur last fall speaking with joe biden. all too often the answers are confused and muddled. but you give them credit for trying. the powers that be do not support biden because of his brain power because he has it all together. they support joe biden because they have decided that biden is their best chance to stay in power in order to boss the rest of us around for another four years. and that is the angle. >> laura: joining me now arizona congressman andy biggs of the house judiciary committee. congressman, it's good to see you tonight. man, they spent a lot of time on this you exonerated president biden line. hur kept pushing back on that saying no, i did not. they refused to hear him. but they do know the truth, do they not? >> yes, they do.

and what mr. hur did is what we call a charging decision. and you know that but he made a charging decision and said we don't think prosecution success is likely and so, therefore, we're not going to proceed. that's very different than exoneration. it's also very different -- that's like saying my client was found innocent. no client is ever found innocent. they might be found not guilty. but they are never found innocent. and the democrats knew that but they were crafting a narrative. and that's what all today was about donald trump and the word exoneration. and neither one was applicable or appear appear apropos to mr.s testimony. >> laura: their argument for biden is if you go biden 2024 colon on a bumper sticker, he wasn't indicted. that is kind of it. that's really all they have. there was a moment involving your favorite, congressman schiff today at this hearing. you know, he had his chest poked

out, again, he thought he was really tough. watch this. >> were there notes of the president of the united states that dated back to when he was a senator that contained classified information? >> among the documents that were recovered during our investigation were marked classified documents that dated back to when mr. biden was a senator. what you are suggesting is that i shaped, sanitized, omit portions of my reasoning and explanation to the attorney general for political reasons. >> no i suggest that you not shape your for political reasons. [gavel] >> time. >> that did not happen, congressman, that did not happen. >> laura: we played issa there. schiff was just berating him. that was the light part of it. schiff was on him, on him, and on him. hur and i have got to say he was unbelievably poised today. and i think they were very frustrated in the end, the democrats. >> i think you are right on both

counts. i thought he was unflappable. i thought he was professional and it drove the democrats up a wall. and, quite frankly, i wanted to say to them is there ever any occasion, can you think of any time that it's okay for a senator, a u.s. senator to have classified documents at home? and the answer is no. unequivocally no. and but the democrats were going to be going at this all day all night if they could because it's not about getting at the truth, never has been. it's always about defending the brand. the same brand that his own family has been selling for years and that's the biden brand. >> laura: yeah. we know what they want to do. they want the boss the rest of us around for the next four years, congressman. that's what they enjoy. great to see you. thanks so much. this is a fox news alert. a.p. is projecting that joe biden, shocking, has won georgia's democratic presidential primary. moving him closer to securing his party's nomination. someone should wake him up.

trump also was just called as the winner in the georgia contest. that just crossed as well. going to be counting the delegates and we will bring you those delegate numbers as they come in. and we're going to have an incredible legal conversation about this because robert hur testified as well about biden's memory and joining me now is sol wisenberg, former deputy independent counsel and fox news contributor and mike davis, former law clerk for justice gorsuch founder of the article iii project. mike, we got to get a shorter intro to you, okay? i can't read that every time. how about mike davis? it's like cher. we will just say mike davis. all right, sol. let's go to you. so joe biden's mental acuity. as you can sense it from reading this transcript, what do you take away from his answers, specifically his lack of memory on the documents themselves and, perhaps, how they got there, who put them there, et cetera?

>> well, they are very -- they are very embarrassing answers. and they also show the release of that transcript shows that biden has been lying about that. as you point out, but, here's a key point that i don't think anybody has made when you discuss how biden reacted to the investigation. this is actually in the hur report. the hur report said that president biden's answers or explanations for his conduct in handling classified documents were not credible. there is a concept in federal criminal law, particularly federal white collar law, which i have been practicing a long time, is that when a person under investigation gives a false exculpatory statement, that is very damaging. that is akin to object destruction and you can present that to a jury and you can even

get a jury instruction on it in some circuits. so, i think what's really important here is the reaction of the biden team, not only in the public, in his obvious lies about it. i hate to say it, but the president -- the more dramatic he gets the more you can tell that he is lying. but, also, you know, in terms of the investigation, his answers were false. >> well, mike, when you really watch this testimony today and the democrats were like gnats flying around hur. he was asked about biden's credibility under oath. listen. >> at any point in your investigation, did you have any reason to believe that president biden lied to you? >> i do address in my report one response the president gave to a question that we had posed to him that we deemed to be not credible. >> laura: again, very dramatic. mike, what are the implications of that? >> well, remember, while biden

was investigating trump for presidential records, trump was allowed to have in the office of former president under the presidential records act. biden had seven stashes of stolen classified records from his time as vice president, each his time as senator, which is hard to explain, they were moved several times unguarded for years, accessible by biden's chinese employee, almost certainly used by hunter to secure millions in burisma funding for the biden family. and then we found out that biden shared these classified records with his ghost writer for a book that biden got an $8 million advance on. so, the bidens are using classified information to make millions. >> laura: to make money. >> yes, exactly. >> laura: sol, the tape recordings of the interview that he did with the ghost writer, those are gone. i mean, don't know what happened

to those. those are gone. and the repeated answers from biden in that transcript about how he didn't know who put things where, how they got there. i mean, this is four decades. i mean, i'm not saying everyone should remember everything about everything, i mean, willful retention of documents. the statute is quite clear how is this not willful when he tells the ghost writer be careful with my notebooks there might be classified information in there. what's the definition of willful? darrell issa kept going on and on about that and he's right. >> it's very clear. the definition is you know that you're violating the law. it's not just that you know you are doing something wrong, you know you are violating the law. and i have to say one thing i do take issue with, with robert hur, is he tries to distinguish president biden's behavior from trump's allegedly obstructive behavior; however, remember, biden, you're only talking about as far as we know the unlawful

retention of documents. if you are comparing that issue -- if you are talking about that issue, unlawful retention of documents, biden's conduct is much worse than trump's. he did it over a 40-year period as you pointed out. he never had the right as a senator never to take documents out of a scif. he didn't have the right to declassify. and he didn't have the right to declassify as -- as the vice president. so, actually, his conduct on that issue, on the issue of unlawful retention is far worse than what has been alleged against president trump. >> laura: and adam schiff, this is what i wanted to get to before, he laid in to hur, and this made me scream laughing for what he deemed to be election interference. watch. >> what you did write was deeply prejudicial to the interest of the president. you say it wasn't political and, yet, you must have understood. you must have understood the impact of your decision to go beyond the specifics of a

particular document, to your own personal, prejudicial subjective opinion of the president one you knew would be amplified by his political opponent. when you knew that would influence a political campaign. >> laura: mike, this is shameless considering what the justice department has been saying on trump's various legal cases. >> remember, they raided trump in august of 2022. biden's personal lawyer started secretly colluding with the biden justice on november 2nd, 2022, right before the midterm election on biden's stolen classified records. so what was garland's response? on november 18th, 2022, garland appointed a special counsel but guess what it was jack smith and trump and not rob hur and biden until january until they got caught secretly colluding for three months. >> laura: jim jordan got into the question of these files that biden's ghost writer had possession of regarding the

ongoing process of writing this book. jordan gets into the conversation -- i would like to go to the conversation if we can pull it up. let's watch. okay. i will read it. this is what it says chairman if you are referring to the audio reportings that mr. son with zero created of conversations with biden. i'm exactly referring to that hur says he slid -- if i remember, he slid those files into his recycle bin on his computer and tried to destroy the evidence. didn't he hur said yes. hold that, sol. fox news alert. fox news projects that president joe biden has secured the delegates required to become the presumptive democratic presidential nominee. ♪. >> laura: he has the commitment of 1968 delegates or the majority of those available. they will cast a ballot during the first round of voting at the dnc in chicago this august.

so, a sitting president, biden never faced any well-known challengers in this race but he has so far lost 20 delegates to the uncommitted option that progressives used as a vehicle to protest biden's support for israel. evidence has lost another three delegates to that little known entrepreneur jason palmer. all right. sol, let's go back to you on this. so, again, biden has the nomination, clinched officially. but we have this back and forth on the fact that the guy who, the special counsel refers to as well, no willful retention of documents. his ghost writer conveniently slid all the files into the recycle bin on his computer. this all just reminds me of hillary suddenly the emails are all gone. it always seems to happen. >> it always seems to be forgiven. just, remember, you can't have your cake and eat it too. statler said you can't have your

cake and eat it too. you can't be happy that president biden has been exonerated and forget the key reason that he was exxonner rate offed which hur, very importantly, reiterated today in a everywhere stronger fashion than he did in the report, the mental decline is the key reason. the key reason that he did not -- that of course you can't indict him. is he a sitting president. the key reason hur said why he shouldn't have been indicted if he wasn't president. that's the reason. so you can't say it's gratuitous. by definition, he's got to give his reasons in this report. >> laura: and, mike, the "new york times" today said, essentially, that well, although memory lapses were documented in the report, for good chunks of that interview, biden was essentially on it. in fact, a few occasions he even corrected special counsel hur on something he was pointing out. they were trying to do a big

assist. axios was pretty brutal. what they were covering this morning was pretty brutal. "new york times" said look for most of it biden was fine. they are still covering for biden, despite the fact that he can't say fax machine. i know that's a tough one to say but i think even a few tequila shots for the three of us we could probably say fax machine. >> i would say to president biden and these democrats who are angry at hur, they should actually give hur a big hug there is smoking gun evidence that joe biden violated the espionage act and robert hur got him out of that by saying what 85% of americans already believe that president biden is not mentally fit. >> laura: sol, he clinches the nomination tonight, however, so the democrats have decided mental debill station, notwithstanding hoarding documents in various locations for 40 years notwithstanding. he is the best guy that they have to run for their party's

nomination against donald trump, period. full stop. >> yeah. yeah. he does i would be very worried about r.f.k. jr. if i were then. >> mike refresh your recollection worried about r.f.k. jr.? does any of the information that came out today or that was reemphasized today we knew most of this does this change the political analysis going forward? is there going to be some magic, you know, rabbit they pull out of their hat at the convention? i said repeatedly that's a pundit game in d.c. that's never going to happen. your thoughts tonight as he just clinched his party's nomination? >> look, between the democrats lawfare and biden driving the country over the cliff. i feel very confident that president trump is going to get reelected on november 5th, 2024. >> sol, and donald trump,

meanwhile, on the verge of his party's nomination and clinching that a few years ago his obituary, his political obituary had been written by all the smart set in d.c. people said he would never make a comeback. january 6th was he had made so many mistakes. said too many things. people were too angry and it was the post trump era and the republican party plebe while i don't know what it says about the investigations, the public does not put any faith and credibility in what our justice department and d.a.s are digging around in. what does that say about where we are right now? >> well, a couple of things. i think there are two things that biden absolutely needed to do to to ensure re-election. governor competently and governor woke part of your party

and he has done neither. your other point is important, too. this is entirely antidotal, i have many, many friends who are very conservative including former fbi agents who did not vote for trump on the second term -- for the second term because ever concerns about his personality and some of the things that he did and to a person they are outraged by what doj has done to him and by the indictments and the raids. i'm just saying it's antidotal. i find it everywhere. and i would be very worried about that if i was part of president biden's team. >> laura: sol and mike, thank you both very much. we appreciate it tonight. >> elect me and kamala democratic house and senate we are going to restore roe v. wade. restore it. >> in terms of cutting. >> this man has no idea what he is talking about. >> game or commercials? >> game. >> game or halftime show? >> game.

>> laura: hilarious. well, the leader much the free world giving what could only be described as a thumb's up to the ccp controlled spying operation, otherwise known as tiktok. now, biden posts on the platform despite warnings from his own senior intel officials. >> do you think it is a national security threat to have a federal campaign account on tiktok? >> well, i have been very clear about my views about tiktok and the national security concerns it presents. as to what campaigns choose to do with their platforms, i will leave that to them. i think tiktok represents all sorts of national security threats. >> laura: they are just national security threats, no biggie. same way they treat the border. it doesn't matter. our commander-in-chief and whoever gives him his peopley pills in the morning they don't care. if they think tiktok can get biden a win at the polls. >> director haines you cannot rule out that the ccp could use

tiktok as a platform to influence 2024 elections, right? >> we cannot rule out that the ccp could use it, correct. ♪ >> laura: joining me now gordon chang, gate stone institute senior fellow author of "china is going to war." gordon, you have been gone as far as to say tiktok is a weapon of war in the way it influences americans. give us some specific examples. >> china wages what it calls unrestricted warfare and tiktok is a critical part of that in august of 2020 radio free asia reported that an intelligence unit of the people's liberation army now based themselves in the now closed houston consulate. from there they used big data americans likely to participate in black lives matter and antifa protests and then radio free asia reported that the pla, the people's liberation army sent them tailor made videos on how to right. we know those videos were

tiktoks. and, laura, you know, fomenting violence on another country's soil is an act of war. an act of war. >> laura: i mean, gordon, i think a lot of young people and i don't blame them, they think tiktok is fun kind of pet videos and fashion tips and fun gardening, makeup tips. i get it. i understand that but they don't really see what you're saying. they see it as the fun and a way to make money on the side. and they actually unleashed young people into congressman's offices emailing and calling even some reportedly saying they would commit suicide if congress moved to ban or, you know, push the divesture of tiktok from bytedance. suicide. >> and on tiktok there are videos promoting suicide think are promoting self-harm and promoting illegal drug use. this is in addition to all of the tiktok videos that support

hamas, that support the russian war in ukraine, that support, you know, the chinese attacks on the united states. so, yes, china has weaponized tiktok and sent it off to war and we have got to realize what is occurring here. that this is an attack on the united states of america. >> laura: gordon, what about our friends who some of them are working, you know, to get people to calm down about tiktok. they say it's a first amendment issue and start banning tiktok then you are going to be banning conservative sites. what do you say about that? >> as marco rubio said on your show yesterday, this is not about banning content. this is going after conduct. this is conduct which is not only these weaponized videos, but is also the theft of u.s. intellectual property. in other words, data of users. this is as someone said, there is 170 million spy balloons over the u.s. that is tiktok on devices of almost half the americans. >> laura: i hope our friends are listening. gordon, thank you. now trump has won the georgia

so he has clinched the democratic presidential nomination for the second time. take a look at the states here. georgia, hawaii, mississippi, and the great state of washington all on the line. if you are wondering about president trump, well, he is within striking distance as well. you need 1215 delegates to earn the g.o.p. nod. and he started the day needing, you know, like 137. so he is going to get that done at some point tonight. now, for those of you who might be at home wondering okay, kevin, so we have a rematch, what's on the schedule tonight? will we hear from either man? oh, we don't know. right now nothing scheduled. the white house called a lid a little while ago and nothing on the schedule at least so far for president trump. but, i, my good friend, will be here monitoring social media and if anything is posted, i promise to pass it along but, for now, it looks like we have ourselves a good old fashioned rematch, laura, third time, by the way for president trump wrapping up the g.o.p. nomination which we

expect. >> laura: amazing. jeopardy is on in some areas so we don't want to interrupt him watching jeopardy. joining me now eric schmitt: biden just clinched the nomination. it is funny to look back on the commentary about let's go to president trump or biden. a lot of people thought biden would never run for a second term. thought that biden would, you know, give -- you know, be a little magnanimous. give it to the next generation. this is all they have is joe biden. that's it. >> what a sad state for the democrats. i was early endorser. >> laura: you were one of the first, as i recall. >> of president trump. i'm excited about that. i was actually with him this weekend. is he ready for this. the tale of the tape is the compare the two workers. inflation numbers tell the whole story. >> laura: you tweeted this out

great reminder to people across the country follow you on x. remind people what it is like to live in biden's america since he did cross his party's threshold this taco bell has been robbed four times since october. the owners of this franchise has decided enough is enough. >> they pull up out of nowhere. they not only rob the store they rob everywhere around. >> the owner has closed the dining rooms at all four of their taco bells in oakland. that's crime. you see it with in-n-out burgers and denny's in business for 54 years that suretiered its doors. that's just in oakland. people are feeling unsafe across this country and in their wallets what are they finding? >> that's right. everything at the grocery stores essentially 20% more expensive. because inflation is cumulative, right? it takes place over time. people are feeling it every time at the grocery store. energy costs are 30% higher. >> laura: going up and up. gas pump much higher the last three or four weeks.

>> real wages down 5%. up 10% under president trump. $1,000 a month taken out of their pocket. joe biden's solution spend more money we don't have. declare war on industry production energy supply and having 9 million people here illegally which, of course, drives down wages for american workers. his answer to the problem he created is gonna make things worse which i think is going to make pima stall jake for the trump era which is going to come back. >> laura: just putting your gas in your car as i did yesterday and biden was saying well, gas prices are coming down, inflation is going to come down. the big news today, inflation edged up up to 3.2% and the market is still doing well. joe biden said to trump, stock market doesn't mean anything. that's just the rich people. of course we want the market to be high. but the cost of living for regular people, people don't get this joy of bidenomics. watch this. >> look, people have really been banged around for a while now.

we knew it was going to take a little time for people to begin to see the benefits of it. 15 million new jobs, that's good but it doesn't -- it doesn't really connect yet to people even though they are benefiting from it. >> laura: he is the best he has ever been. >> that's pretty bad. >> laura: that's what they're saying at msnbc he is the best he has ever been. >> at that state of the union last week he was like a great grandpa yelling at everyone. weird around disconnect. that's the disconnect. the democrats are the party of elites. the republicans are party of working class people. totally disconnected from the reality. talk about bidenomics and try to shift this as much as they want, to the truth is the sticker shock every time at the gas pump, every time at the grocery store. >> laura: rent suspect. >> 20%. >> laura: put the graphic up that's up 20%. >> 20%. >> laura: cost of basic goods that you have to pay for every day, the cost of insurance is going up. i don't know what your car insurance is but mine is through the roof. i do have a teenage driver. >> i'm getting ready to have a

♪ >> laura: this is a fox news alert. joe biden has clinched the democrat nomination for the presidency and donald trump is likely to wrap up his nomination tonight as well joining me now charlie hurt, "washington times" opinion editor and fox news contributor. charlie, on the same day that testimony reveals that biden couldn't say the words fax machine, and went into great detail about lapses in memory of really historic dates in his life, both personal and

political, he's the best they have got. your reaction? >> charlie: i think you're exactly right about it, you know, one of the things that was sort of concealed in the 2020 election because so much effort was focused on the donald trump side of the ledger is the fact that, you know, democrats are deeply divided and the reason they settled on an ancient old white guy who had been around washington for 50 years back then is because he was the only guy that could kind of paper over all of the divisions. and, you know, obviously this is going to be a rematch of 2020 and a lot of ways it's a rematch of 2016 where you have donald trump talking about the issues and, again, the issues, like in 2016, the issues are going to be illegal immigration and foreign wars and all these things that really matter to blue collar voters versus joe biden or in that case hillary clinton trying to defend the swamp. the only difference is that joe biden has been part of the swamp for his entire adult life whereas at least hillary clinton

came from somewhere else. you know, she wasn't the creature that joe biden is. and so, yeah, this is going to be a rematch. and, the best they can come up with is joe biden. but i think that, you know, i really do like the chances for donald trump heading into this because on every single issue, i get it, they're going to try to make it about donald trump. i don't think it's going to work. but, when you take donald trump out of it, it just on the issues, democrats are the party of bankruptcy. they are a party without any ideas. >> laura: corruption. >> charlie: they talk about. >> laura: rank corruption. the grifters are everywhere in washington. the grifters at 1600 pennsylvania avenue really take the cake. okay? we know it. we have seen it. it doesn't matter if the checks were written to -- to joe biden himself, but we know what happened. charlie, we just got a statement

in from joe biden. four years ago he said i ran for president because i believe we were in a battle for the soul of the nation because of the american people we won that battle and now i'm honored to be at the broad coalition of voters representing the rich diversity of the democratic party across the country have put their faith in me once again to lead our country and party in a moment when the moment trump poses is greater than ever. charlie, he doesn't believe trump poses a threat but that's all they say, these all they have. none of them believe trump is going to ever have another election again. all right? so they have to say this as they try to put him in jail. >> exactly. no. they have nothing else to run on. so they have to run on that. and, you know, don't forget they pulled out all the stops to get rid of donald trump in 2020. i don't think that they are going to be able to redo all of that. >> laura: no way. >> charlie: i don't think all of those efforts are going to work. just the lies alone that the media told in order to smear donald trump and to prop up joe

biden. those are not going to work. the question i hope that donald trump asks every day, asks voters is who does joe biden work for? going back to your point about the grifters at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. who does joe biden work for? he does not work for the american people. he does not work -- you want to know why rent is up 20%? when you allow 10 million illegal aliens into the country, and the federal government pays to house them and feed them? you're rent is going to go up and it's going to go up even more. >> laura: yeah, charlie, americans feel like second class citizens in their own country like foreigners in a strange land and yet they are in america. not a great feeling. charlie, great to see you tonight. we need some fun and laughs, that means what the failla is next. stay there. ♪bait rod bending , drag screaming, trophy dreaming the fish tales that lured you to go and the stories you'll tell after. if that sounds like where you want to be...

truncated segment today but two hidden gems in the biden robert hur transcript we did not get to earlier. the first is about investigators looking for the classified documents and joe says, i just hope you did not find any risk a pictures of my wife in a bathing suit, which you probably did, she's beautiful. and then later when talking about his corvette, the transcript says that biden made a car sound. jimmy, take the bathing suit one first. >> well who knew jill biden will be and the next season of golden girls gone wild? i mean my goodness. what's with all of the family and all the risk a clothing? remember hunter's laptop? [ laughter ] >> unfortunately i do. >> i saw so much male genitalia i felt like i was on the women's swim team. it was rough, laura. it was rough. but the car thing, i don't know. i mean when i read these biden transcripts, i'm just thankful he lived through the state of the union with all the juice

they jacked him up on. the thing with the car is ironically he's making car sounds but no one would get behind the wheel with this man. if you look at the photos where he's with the electric hummer or at a factory, whenever he's like anybody want to get in, people are like no, actually know, there's no chance. >> my little kids, my boys used to go vroom-vroom, but i guess the president has done that. >> they weren't president when they did it and that's the joke. no one if you check the carfax on this president would sign up for another four your purchase, bottom-line. >> don't forget, catch jimmy on the road. montana, washington state later this month. that's it for us tonight. stay with box all night for election coverage and back tomorrow night at jesse waters takes it from here. >> welcome to jesse waters prime
