00:00Welcome to Jesse Waters' prime time tonight.
00:03We actually heard from House Speaker Mike Johnson today on Chuck Schumer.
00:06He said he's supporting the shutdown to prevent a primary challenge.
00:09It's such an insane suggestion.
00:13The communists not ready for prime time.
00:17I'm a country that is falling apart.
00:19And the media says, oh, you're going to run, what are you going to run for?
00:21Nobody cares.
00:22I said, **** Charlie Kirby.
00:24Why free Tyler Robinson?
00:25Because he's a patriot.
00:26What makes him a patriot?
00:28Because he got rid of a piece of ****.
00:30The left getting more lethal.
00:32And the media couldn't.
00:42There is no chaos in Chicago.
00:44I went through a dinner party last night and it wasn't your typical dinner party.
00:47Instead of key lime pie for dessert, the president pulled back the curtains.
00:52If you look, this is really a knockout battle.
00:55Shall I show you?
00:56It's been, you've never seen, right?
01:01So, we don't really want you to walk on there, but you can take a look if you want.
01:06Everything out there is coming down and we're replacing it with one of the most beautiful ballrooms that you've ever seen.
01:13Last night was a sales pitch.
01:15This ballroom can be yours for the small price of $200 million.
01:20Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Lockheed Martin executives were all in the room.
01:24And the president made them cut checks before they got their entrees.
01:28This big, beautiful ballroom isn't taxpayer funded.
01:31Trump's using his own cash with a little help from his friends.
01:34How big is the ballroom?
01:3690,000 square feet.
01:38Trump's hoping to host inaugurations there.
01:41Maybe his third.
01:42But of course, we're looking for a deal.
01:45We just gave out the excavation contract and I guess he was in for $3.2 million.
01:51I said, can you do it for $1.5?
01:53No, I can't do that, sir.
01:55I can't.
01:56I said, this is once in a lifetime.
01:58This is the excavation of the White House grounds for what will be one of the best, most beautiful ballrooms in the world.
02:06Sir, I can't.
02:07I can't.
02:08So, but I got him down to $2 million, so it's not terrible.
02:11The ballroom's not the only thing on his mind.
02:14Don the Builder used the dinner to poll his guests on the size of the triumphal arc.
02:20It's Lady of Liberty.
02:22Lady, did the other hear of Lady of Liberty?
02:25I'm sorry.
02:27But, uh, so the sizes would be very good.
02:31Small, medium, and large.
02:33And, uh, whichever one to look good.
02:40Trump's expanding the people's house.
02:42Meanwhile, Democrats can't even figure out who's running their house.
02:45Squatters, AOC and Bernie, changed the locks and now Schumer can't get in.
02:50And they threw their own party with CNN.
02:52AOC says it's her house now.
02:54And if anybody has a problem with that, you can take it up with her.
02:58So what would, what do you need to see?
03:00What commitments from?
03:01Um, I think we need to see ink on paper.
03:04I don't accept IOUs.
03:06I don't accept, uh, pinky promises.
03:09Uh, that's not the business that I'm in.
03:11AOC's the new Nancy Pelosi with a healthy hip.
03:15And Chuck's been thrown out of the house.
03:17Even CNN knows he's homeless.
03:19We actually heard from House Speaker Mike Johnson today on Chuck Schumer.
03:22He said he's supporting the shutdown to prevent a primary challenge from his left wing.
03:27Do you think that's what's driving Senator Schumer here?
03:29No, absolutely not.
03:31That is, it is so, it's such an insane, uh, suggestion.
03:37Alexandria can't hit that pitch.
03:41It's right down the middle.
03:43Everyone knows it's coming.
03:44Burn dog had to jump in and bail her out.
03:47But are you saying that Senator Schumer should not be worried about a primary challenge from you?
03:51I mean...
03:52All right.
03:53No.
03:54Let me jump in on this one.
03:55Let me...
03:56This is...
03:57This is what we're talking about.
03:58This is what we're talking about.
03:59This is what we're talking about.
04:00You have a country that is falling apart.
04:03We're at a house...
04:04Housing crisis, a healthcare crisis, an education crisis, massive income and wealth inequality,
04:10a corrupt campaign finance system, and the media says, oh, you're gonna run, what are you gonna run for?
04:14Nobody cares.
04:15We're talking about a primary challenge because Schumer shut down the government because of a primary challenge.
04:20That's why we care.
04:22Everyone in D.C. is talking about it.
04:25Republicans continue to say that this shutdown is because you're worried about Ocasio-Cortez and the left.
04:31How does that make you feel?
04:32Look, the bottom line is we are fighting for the American people.
04:36Mmm...
04:37No, he's not.
04:38He's fighting for illegals.
04:39And now he's getting cooked like a hot dog.
04:42Even Bernie's getting burned.
04:44How do you think this shutdown reflects on Chuck Schumer's leadership?
04:47Well, how do you feel?
04:48You tell me.
04:49Think it's a good idea to give a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the richest people in the country and then make massive cuts to healthcare for working class people?
04:57I think Chuck Schumer has voted for continuing resolutions 13 times in the last four years.
05:01And he has the opportunity to vote for one again, but he's refusing to come to the table.
05:06His own party is calling it the Schumer shutdown.
05:09Here's Fetterman.
05:11Shutting the government is really what the Democratic Party wants to do.
05:15And I follow country, then party.
05:18And it's the wrong thing for the country in a period of chaos.
05:21I refuse to vote to shut our government down.
05:24Fetterman's the only Democrat telling the truth.
05:26And that makes him a threat.
05:28There will be consequences.
05:29More on that later.
05:31With workers missing paychecks while Democrats are on a luxury retreat in Napa Valley wine country, the phones are blowing up.
05:38I think I'm going to be leaving the Democrat Party.
05:41They need to do the right thing and reopen this government instead of keeping it shut down like they're hijacking the American people.
05:50This is basically a Schumer shutdown from what I've seen.
05:53Schumer's on thin ice and Hakeem's moving his hips, but not his lips.
05:58He saw the polls and now he's hiding under his sombrero.
06:01Over half the party won't commit to reelecting him as leader.
06:04A quarter of the party flat out said, no thanks, Hakeem.
06:07Since Hakeem's not the dream, Democrats are getting on their knees and praying to the cross-legged Messiah.
06:13And he's answering their prayers.
06:15Barry's back to cutting ads.
06:17Virginia's elections are some of the most important in the country this year.
06:21And I'm proud to endorse Abigail Spanberger.
06:24Every vote counts.
06:25So turn out.
06:26Virginia, Abigail Spanberger is the best choice for government.
06:30Vote for her on November 4th.
06:32Barry just endorsed a woman who supports boys and girls sports and who backs a guy who wants to shoot Republicans in the head.
06:39We'll see if Barry can turn water into wine.
06:41But their cup's empty.
06:43It'll take more than a miracle to save this.
06:45Honestly, I was speechless when I woke up to your voice.
06:49Now you tell me how you've been feeling.
06:51It's not Halloween yet and we're already scared.
06:54Plus, Democrats have monsters under their beds.
06:57This lady who's running for governor of California.
07:00This crazy lady.
07:01Porter or whatever the f*** her name is.
07:02Katie Porter that screams at her staff.
07:04Get out of my f***ing shot.
07:05She's the worst.
07:06She looks like the way she talks.
07:08Oh, dude.
07:09Like the way she talks when the cameras are rolling and she doesn't think anybody's going to see it.
07:14Like what a monster.
07:15She's the worst.
07:16You're supposed to dress up and scare people for one night.
07:20But Democrats have been haunting us all year.
07:22At this point, Fetterman's not scared.
07:24He's just embarrassed.
07:26I know and I love people that voted for President Trump.
07:29But they are not fascists.
07:31They're not Nazis.
07:32They're not trying to destroy the Constitution.
07:35I refuse to call people Nazis or fascists or I would never compare anybody, anybody to Hitler.
07:44And now people have forgotten.
07:46President Trump was, in my state, was shot in the head.
07:49And if that would have, could you imagine where our nation would be if he was hit in the same way with Kirk?
07:55Schumer and Hakeem both live in Brooklyn.
07:57The two leaders of the Democrat Party have no idea what's going on in the rest of the country.
08:02And the leader of the coup, she's out of Queens.
08:05The three most powerful Democrats are from New York City.
08:08The country is just not as crazy as they are.
08:11I campaigned for thousands, thousands and thousands of miles across Pennsylvania for Vice President Harris.
08:18And it was going to be incredibly difficult.
08:20You could just feel the energy there.
08:22And I'm trying to explain to the party right now.
08:24It's like this is why we lost.
08:26And this is where we need to be to continue to win.
08:29All Democrats do is go from New York to D.C., New York to D.C., back and forth, all week, all year.
08:35The only time they step foot in the rest of the country is every four years when there's a presidential campaign.
08:41They have no connection to America and never talk to the people who live here.
08:45And now they're trying to coup the one Democrat who does.
08:48Democrats are already gearing up to primary John Fetterman four years from now.
08:53And they can't even wait.
08:54They hate him.
08:55They're trying to take out the one guy in the party with common sense.
08:59He's a Democrat senator from a battleground state that Trump has won twice, maybe three times.
09:05And he's really popular.
09:07And they want him gone.
09:08They just went through this whole autopsy.
09:10And they said they had to reconnect with the working man, be tougher on crime and illegals, drop the trans stuff and stop talking like college professors.
09:19And the one guy who's been doing that, who won by doing that, they won at 86.
09:26The final straw for Fetterman was when he said he doesn't mind the big, beautiful ballroom because Trump's tasteful.
09:32Also eating dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
09:35Big no, no.
09:36The only way Democrats can go to Mar-a-Lago is on an FBI raid.
09:41Let's bring in Kayleigh McEnany, outnumbered co-host and the host of Saturday in America.
09:46All right, Kayleigh.
09:47Last night, CNN was a big debut for AOC, her coming out party.
09:53How did she do?
09:56Extremely poorly.
09:58She said that in rural communities, there are rivers on fire because of companies that are dumping pollution into them.
10:05One company she named is Deloitte.
10:07Deloitte is an accounting firm.
10:09Deloitte does not dump chemicals into rivers.
10:12I do not fear AOC.
10:14There's a socialist takeover of the party.
10:16That is what I fear.
10:17AOC is not the embodiment of said socialist takeover.
10:21The embodiment of it is Zoran Mamdami.
10:24You're exactly right that New York is running the Democratic Party.
10:27But we are a stone throw away from a socialist taking over the largest city in America.
10:33And it's frightening, Jessie.
10:34The government run grocery stores we all know are going to fail, have demonstrably failed.
10:38That's scary.
10:39The charter schools he's going to shut down that serve underserved communities.
10:42That's scary.
10:43The gang database going away.
10:45Crime in the streets.
10:46That's scary.
10:47But the scariest thing of all, Jessie, AOC aside, because I don't think she has the brains
10:52to quite pull it off, Mamdani does.
10:54He's very smart.
10:55And when he doesn't answer a question about Hamas de-arming, demilitarizing, what he is
11:02saying is he is okay with Hamas strangling a nine-month child, Kefir Bevis.
11:06What he is saying is he's okay with Avinathan Orr, who was put in a cage with five other
11:11hostages and handcuffed to the cage for two years.
11:14He is saying that is okay and that he is on the side of terrorists.
11:17I know that's hard to hear, but that is what he's saying.
11:19So AOC, she doesn't have the wit to do it.
11:22That is a very smart man, Zoran Mamdani.
11:25And I very much fear should he take the mayor's race, he could go on to run for president.
11:29And that is a frightening prospect.
11:31Well, one thing at a time, he's got to wreck New York City first before he can seek higher
11:37office.
11:38What does it say about the Democrats, though, that are backing Mondami, but want to take
11:42out Fetterman?
11:45John Fetterman is a voice of truth.
11:47You described him so well.
11:49It's very hard.
11:50You know, I worked in Washington a long time, RNC, presidential campaign, the White House.
11:54It is rare, the rarest of rare breeds, almost an extinct species.
12:00To have someone who speaks truth against their party.
12:03It's not easy to do.
12:04The pressure's there from donors.
12:06The pressure's there from the party apparatus.
12:08For John Fetterman to be the first vote to vote for the continuing resolution, to stand
12:13up against his party on Israel, to say, no, Donald Trump is not Hitler.
12:18That man is a rare voice of truth.
12:21And instead of embracing him and saying, this is the leader of our party, they are pushing
12:25him out.
12:26And I'll share with you, Jesse, the last time the Democrats flipped a Senate seat from red
12:30to blue was in 2022.
12:32And it was a man named John Fetterman.
12:34So the fact that they are not asking him how to win is very striking.
12:38And it goes to your point.
12:39Yeah, they should be asking him for advice, not asking him to leave.
12:42You know, the Democrats have been saying they need their own Trump.
12:45Right.
12:46Well, I'm not comparing Trump to Fetterman, but Fetterman bucks his party just like Trump
12:51did.
12:52Fetterman talks like a normal person, just like Trump does.
12:55Why don't they see that?
12:57It's so obvious.
12:58It makes me think they learn nothing from November.
13:01No, they learned absolutely nothing.
13:05Fetterman's a guy who's the big A word that you always want in politics.
13:09And that is authentic.
13:10Look, he wears his hoodie.
13:11And some people are like, why does he wear his hoodie on the Senate floor?
13:14He wears his hoodie because that's just who he is.
13:17Who you see behind the scenes is who you see in front of the camera.
13:20And he says he has no butt.
13:21His authentic self.
13:22So he couldn't wear a suit.
13:23Yeah.
13:24Yeah.
13:25He can't wear a suit.
13:26He's a big, tall man, Jesse, and the hoodie's comfortable.
13:28All right.
13:29Well, we'll see how it shakes out.
13:31Very interesting.
13:32Going to be a fun couple of years.
13:33Kayleigh McEnany, everybody check her show out on the weekends.
13:36We'll see you soon.
13:39Fox News alert.
13:40Trump had another perfect phone call this afternoon.
13:43This time it was with Putin.
13:45And it was a long one.
13:46And apparently productive.
13:48Senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy has the details.
13:51Peter?
13:52Yes, it was long if you consider a two hour long phone call to be a long one.
13:58But President Trump basically wanted to give Putin a chance to make his case that for the Americans not to start giving Tomahawk missiles to the Ukrainians.
14:10Vladimir Zelensky is here in Washington, D.C. tonight.
14:13Tomorrow he's going to go to the Oval Office and he is going to ask President Trump to give him these tomahawks that would let the Ukrainians strike further into Russia than they have been for the last three years.
14:25President Trump is obviously feeling really good right now like he's got a hot hand ending global conflicts.
14:31Just ended one that he says has been going on for three thousand years.
14:35So how hard could it be to end one that has been going on for three and a half years?
14:39And the question now becomes, will Trump give Zelensky the tomahawks?
14:45He gave us a very clear window in classic Trump fashion into his thinking tonight.
14:50Listen to this.
14:51Did President Putin try to dissuade you from selling tomahawk missiles?
14:57Well, of course, what do you think he's going to say?
14:59Please sell tomahawks.
15:00He's going to say, please sell those tomahawks.
15:03I really appreciate it.
15:06I did actually say, would you mind if I gave a couple of thousand tomahawks to your opposition?
15:12I did say that to him.
15:13I said it just that way.
15:16He didn't like the idea.
15:18He really didn't like the idea.
15:19No, I said it that way.
15:21You have to be a little bit lighthearted sometimes.
15:24But no, he doesn't want tomahawks.
15:26Tomahawk is a vicious weapon.
15:29Tomahawks or no tomahawks.
15:31President Trump says he and Putin and Zelensky are all going to meet in Hungary.
15:35We're all going to meet in Hungary within the next two weeks or so.
15:38He says maybe it would be all three together or maybe it would be two meetings that he calls separate but equal.
15:42But you look at how we got here.
15:44President Trump had Putin come to Alaska and he was so unsatisfied with what Putin was saying.
15:50And basically Putin's decision not to end the war right then and there, that that is when he said that he thought Ukraine should go and do whatever they had to do to win the war, win back their territory.
16:01Tomahawks would help him a lot.
16:03We will be the pool in the Oval Office tomorrow with both presidents.
16:06So, Jesse, if you have any questions, just text them along for either president.
16:10I will pass those along.
16:11Not now, but definitely later.
16:14So it looks like the first time that forced the meeting was was Trump with the secondary oil sanctions on India.
16:20And then now it looks like this meeting is coming together because probably the Gaza peace deal, but also the Tomahawk threat.
16:27If they do meet, I want to hear your prediction.
16:31Will it be the three of them?
16:33Will it be Zelensky and Putin together or will it be one on one separate but equal?
16:41My prediction would be that the three leaders all wind up in Budapest at some point.
16:46There is a Trump-Putin meeting.
16:47There is a Trump-Zelensky meeting, both separate at some convention center, whatever convention center they got available in two weeks in Budapest.
16:55And then at the end, there will be a photo op with the three of them.
17:00President Trump will be sitting there signing something in a Sharpie.
17:03He'll hold it up.
17:05Whether that means the end of the war or just the beginning of the end of the war.
17:09But it seems like that's the way that things are trending.
17:11All right.
17:12So you're saying you're not having a meeting in Budapest with these three men if there's not something that's going to be signed?
17:18At least the beginning of the end of the war.
17:21Okay.
17:22Peter Doocy, you're always right.
17:24So why would you be wrong now?
17:26Good to see you.
17:27I tell everybody that, Jesse.
17:30We'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
17:31I'll text you my question.
17:33Don Lemon wants minorities to strap up against ICE.
17:37Why?
17:45The White House honored Charlie Kirk this week, but the people of Chicago weren't so charitable.
17:50Why free Tyler Robinson?
17:52Because he's a patriot.
17:53Tyler Robinson is a patriot.
17:54I mean it.
17:55You think I'm hiding a song?
17:56I've just said this shit a million times.
17:58What makes him a patriot?
18:00Because he got rid of a piece of shit.
18:02Okay.
18:03And you think that's a good thing to kill people who disagree with you?
18:06I think it's a good thing to take a racist out.
18:08I bet Jimmy Kimmel thinks that guy's MAGA too.
18:11Everything Jimmy says, believe the opposite.
18:13Listen, I'm gonna tell you this.
18:17Spread it around.
18:18There's no chaos in Portland.
18:20None.
18:21There is no chaos in Chicago.
18:23There was no chaos in Los Angeles.
18:25They're pretending there's chaos as a pretense for a military takeover.
18:30That's right.
18:31Don't believe your eyes and don't answer the door unless you're strapped.
18:34Holman might be on the other side.
18:36Black people, brown people of all stripes, whether you're an Indian American or a Mexican American or whoever you are, go out in your place where you live and get a gun legally.
18:49Get a license to carry legally.
18:52Because when you have people knocking on your door and taking you away without due process as a citizen, isn't that what the Second Amendment was written for?
19:04ICE has enough to worry about.
19:06Cartels are putting bounties on their heads.
19:08And if the cartels want a war, they're gonna get one.
19:11Because Fox News alert, B-52 bombers are flying off the coast of Venezuela.
19:18Trump's not bluffing.
19:20Right now, more than 10,000 U.S. soldiers are built up in the Caribbean on ships in Puerto Rico, locked and loaded.
19:27Special operations helicopters were just seen flying 90 miles from Venezuela's coast.
19:32The chopper units used by Delta Force, Navy SEALs and the Green Berets.
19:37The Black Ops were spotted off the coast of Trinidad.
19:40They're very important for search and rescue missions.
19:43Also spotted, little birds.
19:45They're smaller but faster.
19:47Designed for quick insertion of special operators behind enemy lines.
19:52The ghost was also confirmed to be in the Caribbean.
19:55That's the nickname for MV Ocean Trader.
19:58It's the kind of ship that doesn't want to be found.
20:00It's designed for black ops and special missions because it's dark and blends in with cargo.
20:06There's more.
20:0710% of the U.S. naval power is now in the region.
20:11It's a major shift.
20:12There's subs, several destroyers and F-35 fighters in Puerto Rico.
20:17That's on top of all the coke boats getting smoked to pieces by the week.
20:21Kilos of cocaine are washing ashore.
20:24Don't tell Hunter.
20:26Dozens of bad hombres becoming shark bait.
20:29It's got Maduro's attention.
20:31He's the dictator of the narco state.
20:33A very bad hombre.
20:34And we just doubled the bounty on his head.
20:36It's now 50 mil.
20:38According to the New York Times, Maduro offered us a dominant stake in Venezuela's oil, gold and mineral wealth and promised to cut ties with Russia and China.
20:48And Trump and Rubio said no.
20:51That tells me the gunboat diplomacy is going to end up with no Maduro and a Venezuela aligned with us.
20:58Not Putin or Chi.
21:00American action in Latin America hasn't always ended well.
21:03Look at the Bay of Pigs.
21:05Other times, it's a piece of cake.
21:07It's our backyard.
21:08And Trump's just reestablishing the Monroe Doctrine, a.k.a. the Dunro Doctrine.
21:14Hopefully, a Venezuelan general does the right thing and collects the $50 million bounty.
21:19No one wants a messy conflict in South America.
21:22Maduro controls drug traffickers who are pretty strapped.
21:25They have military-grade weapons.
21:27And Biden let hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans into the country.
21:31They could be activated.
21:33But if Trump can pull this off and kick China and Russia out of Venezuela after what he did with the Iranians, it'll give them a lot of power to deter Russia and Ukraine and China and Taiwan.
21:46Let's bring in U.S. Army Special Forces veteran Tim Kennedy.
21:50So you've seen how these operations go.
21:54What's your instincts say?
21:57I think we've been giving a very clear message that if you're going to be breaking international law and you're going to be trying to smuggle drugs in the United States, you're going to die on those waters.
22:07For decades, we have tried to interdict those boats with the Coast Guard, and it just hasn't worked.
22:14Seventh Group, my original Special Forces Group, works out of that area of operation in South America.
22:20And they have been planning for this eventuality for decades.
22:27They're completely poised and prepared.
22:29And as we have seen with Director Gabbard and Secretary of War, Hegseth, there's no messing around when it comes to cartels trying to have their way with Americans.
22:41All right. So if we really turned down Maduro's offer, he basically gave us everything, gold, minerals, oil, whatever we wanted.
22:48And we said, no, you can't be our puppet. You've got to go.
22:51And with all these naval assets on the coast, and now we assume the CIA is operating inside of Venezuela, how does the next step fall in?
23:03I mean, does someone hand cash to a general? I mean, what does this look like?
23:08In the unconventional model, you're never going to have to be doing it yourself.
23:15You know, there's a force multiplication aspect where by, with and through, you know, people doing the work for you.
23:21Fortunately, the opinion of Maduro, especially after an election that he clearly lost and then refused to step down.
23:29You know, he has been moving further and further down the dictator route and, you know, the eventuality of the people themselves or a military coup just keeps having to increase without us even having to do anything.
23:45Yeah, that's what we want. We don't want to have to do much. We would love to have this taken care of for us because you don't want a Chinese and Russian backed dictator running Venezuela and then running drugs into our country, running gangs into our country and destabilizing the entire South American continent.
24:07What message will it send to the Chinese and the Russians if we get rid of this guy?
24:13Yeah, it's going to be a very powerful message, you know, but I think you're touching on something that people have to understand that our adversaries want instability.
24:21They want lack of security. We as a nation, you know, as a capitalist nation, for us to do commerce, we need regions of the world to be stable.
24:29And people like Maduro, dictators that are working in collaboration directly with both our peer level adversaries and cartels.
24:38There's there's nothing about this that is good for America.
24:41So first, we we've seen President Trump address the initial threat, which is blowing boats up in the water and now taking a powerful position because he's not going to be doing diplomatic discussions without destroyers off the coast of Venezuela, as we now know.
24:55I want to tell F-35s blowing boats up as they're trying to leave the shores.
24:59We are now in the most powerful position and every everybody in the world knows it to include Maduro.
25:04Now we're going to be in a really great position to have that conversation.
25:06Yeah, it looks like this is going to go down pretty soon by the amount of force that's in the region.
25:11We'll be on it. Tim, good to see you. Thank you so much for your service.
25:15Good seeing you.
25:16A sexy DEI Thursday plus breaking news on John Bolton.
25:25Fox News alert. John Bolton's officially been indicted and it's not good.
25:32Prosecutors say he sent diary like entries chock full of classified information from his personal AOL email account and even shared sensitive foreign policy material after leaving the White House.
25:44But that's not all. The indictment says Bolton was hacked by a cyber actor believed to be linked to Iran.
25:51He's also accused of printing documents with defense information and storing them in his Maryland house, which the FBI found in August.
26:00Trump reacted today.
26:02I didn't know that you tell me for the first time, but I think he's, you know, a bad person.
26:07I think he's a bad guy. Yeah, he's a bad guy.
26:12It's too bad, but that's the way it goes. That's the way it goes, right?
26:16Bolton's attorney denies Bolton illegally shared or retained classified material.
26:21But if convicted, he faces decades behind bars.
26:26So why are Democrats losing men? It's not just tampons in boys' bathrooms.
26:31AOC's got a theory. MAGA's radicalizing the boys.
26:36They are able to radicalize and target and exploit a generation of young boys, in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker or a different gender than them.
26:59And that is why they are resonating online.
27:03It was the Democrats who exploited boys into an insecure masculinity so much that they chopped off their own manhood.
27:11They radicalized young boys so dangerously, they switched genders and started shooting up schools.
27:17One trans lover murdered Charlie. What's more radical than murder?
27:21AOC's lost and so is their message.
27:24Now they're playing their favorite card.
27:27New hoax alert. New hoax alert. New hoax alert.
27:32New hoax alert. Republicans control the media.
27:35They have learned a lot about social media.
27:37And by the way, it doesn't hurt that their friends own all of the major social media platforms.
27:45You know, Bezos owns Twitter or X. Zuckerberg owns Meta, Facebook and Instagram.
27:55Mr. Ellison is going to own you pretty soon. I think he's going to take off the CNN, not to mention CBS.
28:02We complained about Democrats controlling the media for decades. Now we own a few things.
28:08All it means is it's more fair and balanced just because they don't have a monopoly anymore.
28:13They think it's a national emergency.
28:16Martha just interviewed Kami Mandami. She let him talk.
28:19But George Stephanopoulos had the VP on and cut him off.
28:23Tom Homan didn't engage in any criminal wrongdoing.
28:26It's not a weird left wing rabbit hole. I didn't insinuate anything.
28:29I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50,000 as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024.
28:36And you did not answer the question. Thank you for your time this morning.
28:40No, George, I said that I don't.
28:43Up next, we'll be right back.
28:44Slopinopoulos isn't the only suspect. Things get worse when the lights turn off.
28:49We're talking late night. Studies found 99% of the guests were liberal.
28:54That's why Mickey shelved Jimmy for a week and why Gutfeld stands tall over his competition, figuratively.
29:02The ladies debunked Bernie's hoax, too. The View had over 110 liberals on and one Republican.
29:09Was it K-Mac? Was it Clay? Was it sexual matador Stephen Miller?
29:14Wrong, wrong, wrong. The one lucky guy? Tim Allen.
29:18And we watched the interview. Didn't even talk politics. Just sitcoms.
29:22It's not like Republicans haven't offered to go on the show.
29:26Byron Donalds, Riley Gaines, Matt Walsh all say they offered to go on but were shot down.
29:32The ladies, though, they swear they're scared.
29:35I think that we should have more Republicans on the show, but they don't want to come on.
29:39They're scared of us. It's like Marjorie Taylor Greene says that she finds the Republican men afraid of powerful women.
29:47Well, that may be true of all the political persuasions.
29:50But if they would come on this show and they can explain to us what they're trying to do to this country.
29:55Big weekend show co-host Tommy Lahren. So are Republicans scared of the ladies in The View?
30:05Certainly not, Jesse. Way back in 2017, I was actually invited on The View.
30:10And actually, Joy Behar told me that I was, quote, all right.
30:13So there was a different time when they did invite some conservatives on.
30:17And then they decided that conservatives spoke too much truth.
30:20They didn't want their audience hearing any of that.
30:22So they decided no more conservatives allowed on The View.
30:25I also think it's interesting that they would come up with this Republican men are scared of strong women.
30:32The White House is pretty much run by strong women.
30:34So once again, the facts are just not lining up on their side.
30:38But, Jesse, I would love to see you join The View.
30:40I'd love to see you take them on.
30:42I think your audience would certainly appreciate that.
30:45You've been warming up with Jessica Tarlov all these years.
30:48And now is your time to enter the big leagues and sit down with Whoopi and Joy.
30:53When I have a book coming out, then I'll do it.
30:56If I'm not selling anything, it's not worth getting yelled at by all those women.
31:01I can go home and get yelled at by my mother whenever I want.
31:04The thing that AOC said, Tommy, that Republicans are radicalizing and exploiting young men into becoming just disgusting pigs.
31:18Where did that come from?
31:21Yeah, you made a great point.
31:23And I agree with you.
31:24I don't think there's anything more radical than trying to convince young men that they are young women.
31:29And they should play women's sports and be in women's locker rooms.
31:32That sounds like the most radical thing to date, the LGBTQ rainbow mafia.
31:37That's about as radical as it gets.
31:39But AOC is never going to learn how to talk to men.
31:42She made fun of Stephen Miller for his height.
31:44Again, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
31:47I don't know if you've ever seen her fiancé, but he wears open-toed sandals in public.
31:52He's not necessarily a looker.
31:54So she's not going to do anything for the Democrat Party when it comes to winning over male voters.
31:59And I have a strong belief that even the female voters will soon leave the Democrat Party.
32:04I don't think that they're going to win a swing state in the near future, especially if they keep having more socialist town halls.
32:10Good for CNN.
32:11Real bad for the Democrat Party.
32:13When you lose men and women, all you're left with is trans.
32:16That's not a powerful party.
32:17I did see the picture you were talking about.
32:19The fiancé of three and a half years was crossing his legs, wearing Birkenstocks, and sipping a drink from a straw.
32:26Strike three, Tommy.
32:28We know the rules.
32:30Drag Queens and Jimmy Kimmel.
32:34Happy, sexy DEI Thursday.
32:37On a weekly basis, DEI is something we must have.
32:45Happy DEI Thursday, primetime's favorite day of the week.
32:50In honor of Reverend Al Sharpton, we're bringing you the best stories about diversity, equity, and inclusion.
32:55First, Happy National Coming Out Day.
33:00We're a few days late, but primetime never turns down an opportunity to celebrate.
33:04This year's extra special because, apparently, it's not just for gay people.
33:09Happy National Coming Out Day.
33:11And if you're not part of the queer community, but you care, then that makes you part of this day, too.
33:15Hello, students.
33:16This is your official reminder to RSVP to this year's Queer Gaspo!
33:23Happy National Coming Out Day.
33:25I just want all the gaybies to know that it is way more fun being gay, but it's twice as expensive.
33:30So save up.
33:31Cheers.
33:33Cheers.
33:34Next, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wants to redraw congressional maps based on race.
33:40Why?
33:41She says black people are disabled.
33:44The idea in Section 2 is that we are responding to current-day manifestations of past and present decisions that disadvantage minorities and make it so that they don't have equal access to the voting system.
34:03Right?
34:04They're disabled.
34:05Next, we've seen libraries and schools host drag queen story times across the country.
34:11The left's favorite late-night hosts brought one to national TV.
34:15Jimmy Kimmel hired a drag queen to teach kids how to bully conservatives with Eric Trump's new book.
34:22Do I scare any of you?
34:24No.
34:25No.
34:26Really?
34:27You just look amazing.
34:28Why would that be scary?
34:30That is so affirming.
34:31Thank you so much.
34:32You guys look amazing, too.
34:33This might not be a great book, but it's gonna make excellent confetti.
34:37All right, let's go to happy hour.
34:44I have a drink ticket.
34:47Finally, the Victoria's Secret fashion show's back with what Marie Claire is calling the most inclusive fashion show of the season.
34:56It looked like a classic runway show from the 2000s.
35:00Then there was a transgender model back for a second year and a couple of plus size models, too.
35:07There was even a pregnant supermodel on the catwalk.
35:10We're not gonna show it to you, but congratulations.
35:15No DEI Thursdays complete without a victory.
35:18Parents in Maine are exposing the Augusta school board for their hypocrisy by stripping down to make a point about boys and girls locker rooms.
35:26Watch.
35:27So now I'm about to show you guys how uncomfortable it is for these young girls.
35:30Point of order.
35:31Point of order.
35:32We've asked that we use...
35:33Oh, so wait, wait, wait, wait.
35:34They're covered.
35:35You feel uncomfortable?
35:36Because that's what these young girls feel like when a boy walks into the locker room and starts unchanging in front of them.
35:41Yeah, you feel uncomfortable, right?
35:42You don't care how young girls feel?
35:44You don't care about the safety of young kids?
35:47Happy DEI Thursday.
35:49Ribs was feeling lucky.
35:52So lucky he made over a million bucks playing blackjack in Vegas.
35:58Senior national correspondent Kevin Cork with more.
36:00Kevin.
36:01Evening, Jesse.
36:02If you're like me, you've had a little fun at the neighbor's place, you know, watching football, having a beverage, playing some cards.
36:08But if you're like Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, well, playing cards doesn't mean, you know, winning a couple of bucks and getting side-eye from your pals as you take all their money.
36:17Not that I'd know.
36:18No, sir, it means winning 1.425 million bucks in a single day.
36:23The massive winnings reported on his 2024 tax returns, which were released by his campaign on Wednesday.
36:30I went on vacation with my wife, with some friends.
36:33I was incredibly lucky.
36:35You have to be to end up ahead, frankly, going to a casino anywhere.
36:40It was in Las Vegas and I like to play cards.
36:46And I like beer.
36:48Pritzker's campaign said he'd donate the money to charity.
36:52Uh-huh.
36:53In addition to the casino winnings, the Pritzkers, Mr. and Mrs., reported nearly six million bucks in taxable income in 2024 on their federal return.
37:02By the way, no word on any possible, you know, casino video confirming the winnings or any word on any possible ongoing investigation.
37:11Then again, he did say, Jesse, come and get me.
37:14And that just might happen.
37:16Pam Bondi.
37:17Yeah.
37:18I'm sure she's not interested in this at all.
37:19No.
37:20No, not at all.
37:21Kevin, good luck and good luck at the casinos next time.
37:24I'll see you there.
37:25Thanks, buddy.
37:26More prime time straight ahead.
37:28I like to wake up early in the morning.
37:29It's kind of my thing.
37:30But sometimes you've got to listen to your body.
37:31And if you sleep in, don't be ashamed of your body.
37:35Don't be ashamed of yourself.
37:36It's nothing to feel bad about.
37:40Maybe you just needed to sleep.
37:41I'm not telling you how late I slept.
37:42Let's do texts.
37:43David from Hiram, Georgia.
37:44David from Hiram, Georgia.
37:46I'm not telling you how late I slept.
37:48Do they cancel each other out?
37:49No.
37:50I like to wake up early in the morning.
37:51It's kind of my thing.
37:52I like to wake up early in the morning.
37:53I like to wake up early in the morning.
37:54It's kind of my thing.
37:55But sometimes you've got to listen to your body.
37:57And if you sleep in, don't be ashamed of yourself.
38:01It's nothing to feel bad about.
38:03Maybe you just needed to sleep.
38:06I'm not telling you how late I slept.
38:07Let's do texts.
38:10David from Hiram, Georgia.
38:13Bernie had his hands and legs crossed.
38:15Did they cancel each other out?
38:18Like this?
38:19Yeah, that's no good.
38:21Steven from Habersham Mill, Georgia.
38:24They say real men wear pink, but the realest men go on The View.
38:30Do I have to go on The View to prove that I'm a real man?
38:34Akilah's saying yes when I have a book.
38:38Nancy, I'm not doing it for free.
38:39Nancy from St. Augustine, Florida.
38:41Is anyone checking on the effect of all that cocaine in the ocean?
38:45I'm worried about the sharks.
38:47Sharks are having a great time.
38:50Peter from Athens, Tennessee.
38:51We can call weapons tomahawks, but we can't call a football team the Redskins?
38:57Make it make sense.
38:59I think the Indians would be honored that one of our most effective missiles was named Tomahawk.
39:05Bill from Annapolis, Maryland.
39:07I would have pegged ribs to be more of a craps guy.
39:13Carrie from Chesterfield, New Jersey.
39:15How many texts do you get every night?
39:16Just curious because you've never picked mine.
39:19Who should I bribe?
39:20Just pay Johnny.
39:22Just pay him in cash.
39:23Tanya from Winfield, Alabama.
39:27Show us the dance you'll be doing at the big, beautiful ballroom.
39:33Running man and then maybe a little.
39:36Did I just do that?
39:40Akilah liked it.
39:41She liked it a lot.
39:43It's all for tonight.
39:44Sean Hannity's next.
39:46DVR the show.
39:47And always remember, I'm Waters and this is my world.
39:51Yeah.
39:51Haha.
