00:01Welcome to Jesse Waters' prime time tonight.
00:05Can you now explain to us five days later how many students were in that classroom?
00:10That was a study hall, so we don't have the number. We're still getting information.
00:14New video in the Brown shooting case.
00:18If you can identify this person faster than we can, have at it.
00:22You want something to investigate as a legislature? Investigate how many times they've called me the N-word.
00:27Fanny's back, and she's dressed to impress. But where's Loverboy?
00:32Mr. Wade would be the first one in the office making sure that my staff arrived. He corrected their behavior.
00:39You don't seem very fiery to me. You seem like you might just...
00:42I get crazy. I get crazy. Yeah. You don't want to set me off.
00:45Breaking news on Rob Reiner's killer. Plus...
00:49It a.m. Santa's coming to town. Santa! Oh, my God!
00:57Fox News alert. It's been almost five days since a gunman shot up one of the most prestigious universities in the world and got away with it.
01:11No one knows where the shooter is, who he is, or what he looks like.
01:14After days of no answers and no leads, Brown students are angry.
01:19The general mood I've been feeling is like getting the air knocked out of you.
01:24It is pretty, pretty sad on campus.
01:27We have been concerned and confused and hoping that there's more progress in the case.
01:34There's definitely uneasiness with the gunman not being in custody.
01:38There's uneasiness because we're not getting any answers from the people in charge.
01:43Their press conferences are an embarrassment.
01:46The police chief doesn't even know he was in the room during the shooting.
01:51Can you now say how many kids were in that classroom and did the gunman come in from the back so these people never knew it was coming?
01:58Or did he come in front with full view of everybody?
02:02That's all part of the interviews and actually we cooperating with Brown to get the roster.
02:06That was a study hall, so we don't have the number.
02:08We're still getting information as far as who was there.
02:11It's been five days and you don't have a list of witnesses.
02:15You don't even know how many witnesses there are.
02:18And the witnesses that you have talked to, they told you the gunman shouted something, but you don't know what that is.
02:25One eyewitness said there was around 20 ducking behind the table.
02:29You can't track down 20 of your own students.
02:32Well, the New York Times says there's 60 eyewitnesses.
02:36How do they know that?
02:37And the chief doesn't.
02:39The local media has had it.
02:42Had it been a final exam, we'd have a roster.
02:45We handed it over.
02:46We know exactly who was in the room because everybody shows up for a final.
02:50But for a study session, it's elective.
02:53We're finishing the answer.
02:54Rinaldo.
02:55It's elective.
02:56I've got a question for you.
02:57It's elective to turn out for a study session.
03:01So we don't know exactly what fraction of the overall roster turned out for a voluntary review session.
03:07Remember the black student witness who told ABC that the shooter had a long gun that was really big.
03:14Now they're saying the gun might have been small.
03:17I don't think there's multiple weapons.
03:20No, just that individual.
03:21I just want to jump in here too, because I, you know, you mentioned a long gun.
03:27I don't, we are not, we are not in a position to say, unless the chief, you want to square it, whether this was a long gun or not.
03:39And get this, now we're learning Brown University had more than 800 surveillance cameras.
03:46They had 1200 and not a single camera got a shot of the shooter entering or exiting the building.
03:53Is it dumb luck that he found the one blind spot on campus?
03:58Or is he a student who knows the lay of the land?
04:01Or did he just case the place for hours and no one noticed?
04:05It's believed based on what we know that the gunman primary person of interest, the suspect came out of that build out of that entrance or exit and started walking this way and passing this dumpster.
04:17You just look around this parking lot to show everybody.
04:20There are no cameras that we can see out here right outside of the bears and Holly building.
04:26Uh, you can see there, there are no cameras that we see visible to the eye.
04:31So that is something that has been a big sticking point in this investigation.
04:35Why wouldn't you put cameras on the perimeter of campus so you can see who's coming on the campus and who's coming off?
04:42That's security 101.
04:45Here we have surveillance video that caught the shooter right after the attack, walking by a cop car a block away from the building at 406 Saturday afternoon.
04:55This could be a huge break.
04:57That means we have dash cam footage of the shooter leaving the scene of the crime, right?
05:02No, the police chief hasn't checked.
05:05In the video released yesterday, it appears that the person of interest is going by a police cruiser that has its lights on.
05:14Does that mean that the dash cam in that cruiser was on and activated and have police been able to recover anything useful from that video?
05:21So that was a Brown police cruiser and I'm not sure if they have body cameras in their cruisers.
05:27You're not sure if Brown's police cruisers have dash cams.
05:32You haven't asked them that yet.
05:34And you're standing right next to the Brown University campus police chief.
05:38Does he know?
05:39More on that guy later.
05:41And this just into Fox were told Brown's police cruisers do not have dash cams.
05:48So a multi-billion dollar university with an engineering department researching AI can't put a camera on the squad car.
05:56Some of the poorest counties in America have dash cams on patrol cars, but not one in the richest school in the country almost.
06:06Apparently the shooter just disappeared.
06:09Another video that they obtained later subsequently places him right here behind this pole.
06:16And this is where he crosses the street.
06:19Once he crosses this street here, hits that corner and goes up that way.
06:24The police are essentially at the mercy of residential cameras in order to obtain video.
06:29This is a wealthy neighborhood.
06:31A lot of the houses have walls.
06:33They're well set back.
06:35They don't have ring cameras.
06:36And if they do, they're internal.
06:38No one knows where the guy went.
06:41Cops are asking for Tesla owners to turn over their videos.
06:45Hopefully they haven't all been firebombed.
06:48Later on in today's press conference, the chief just casually drops this bombshell.
06:53Listen.
06:54We have seized and found physical evidence.
07:00We have found physical evidence.
07:02I'm not going to confirm.
07:04What's the evidence?
07:06Does the chief even know?
07:08My goodness.
07:10Providence police just happened to also be looking for a second person.
07:15They say was in the proximity of the shooter.
07:18Is it a man?
07:19Is it a woman?
07:20Nobody knows.
07:21Are we sure it's a man?
07:23I know it was brought up in the question report.
07:25It could be a man, but are we 100% sure it's a man or could it be a woman as well?
07:30It's a person that we would like to at least speak with.
07:33Oh, okay.
07:34Maybe the person's trans wouldn't surprise me.
07:38Now this could be just a false lead.
07:40There's a chance this person has nothing to do with this, or he could be a getaway driver
07:45or could have been a spotter.
07:47Could have transferred the weapon.
07:49We don't know.
07:50We still don't know where the gun is or how the shooter escaped car, bike, bus, electric
07:56scooter.
07:57Even CNN's like, what the hell, Smiley?
08:00How on earth does it happen that somebody can walk into a prestigious university like
08:06Brown or any school that has thousands of students and faculty and support staff shoot
08:12at least 11 people and then apparently walk out and disappear.
08:17I don't think it matters that it's a prestigious university.
08:20We've all seen horrific acts of gun violence in public schools.
08:24You know, Brown's in trouble when Trump and Jake are on the same side.
08:28Here's the president.
08:30Why did Brown University have so few security cameras?
08:33There can be no excuse for that.
08:35In the modern age, it just doesn't get worse.
08:39It's gotten so bad that people think Brown is in on a coverup.
08:44Is the Brown University withholding anything for the record?
08:48For the record, we are cooperating 100% with law enforcement.
08:52We are turning over everything we have to assist in this investigation.
08:56Reporters think Brown's covering up a school shooting.
08:59The university told us they have footage from inside the building, but they won't release
09:05it.
09:06They say it doesn't show the shooter.
09:08So there's camera footage that the university is refusing to release.
09:13At one point, a reporter asked, why don't you just release it so that the public can
09:18help you solve this?
09:20That's when the attorney general snapped.
09:22Watch.
09:23Would you like all of it?
09:24Why not?
09:25Well, because here's why.
09:26Because it doesn't tell us anything about who committed this crime yet.
09:29If we get a better image of who committed this crime, you'll have it.
09:34There is no effort to preclude the public online investigators investigators in the press
09:40from getting to the result faster than we can.
09:43If you can identify this person faster than we can have added.
09:47Has there ever been a mass shooting in modern America where there's not a single image of
09:52the crime scene?
09:53We don't even know what the auditorium looks like.
09:56Not even a rendering.
09:58We haven't seen shell casings, bullet holes.
10:01They don't even know if the shooter came in the front or the back.
10:04And now they're telling Fox police don't even know how long the shooter was in the room.
10:10They don't even tell us how long it took for police to respond to the scene.
10:15Apparently there's anywhere between 20 to 60 eyewitnesses and no one took any video.
10:22Did anybody try to tackle the gunman?
10:25The new excuse for why they didn't have a camera by the building was because the building was old.
10:30You know where they do have a camera outside the university president's house.
10:36That building is over 100 years old and they have state of the art security cameras.
10:41But this building facing the streets of Providence doesn't have a camera.
10:47And the door didn't need a swipe card.
10:49And campus security didn't have a guard there.
10:52Was there a security guard ever posted at the engineering building entrance?
10:57If so, were they there that day and whether they do and if not, why not?
11:04So maybe I'll ask our chief of police to speak to that.
11:09On that day we did not have and do not have a security asset posted inside the building.
11:15Is that atypical of a Saturday or in that particular building?
11:21How do you determine where security is posted and is that under the purview of the ground police?
11:26That is and that is typical for that academic space.
11:29So that right there is the mysterious campus safety chief Rodney Chapman.
11:34Funny, we haven't really heard from him.
11:37Where has he been?
11:38Well, we just discovered the Brown University police chief isn't really a big fan of policing.
11:44He once said this, communities don't want policing done to them.
11:49How this guy came to Brown is a crazy story.
11:52He was the head of campus security at the University of Utah.
11:55And right after he was hired there, he was immediately suspended because he didn't have the proper credentials.
12:01Utah then told him, we're going to fire you or you're going to have to resign.
12:05What's it going to be?
12:06So Rodney resigned and Brown said, we'll take you.
12:10And right before the shooting, Brown's police union issued a vote of no confidence in chief Rodney.
12:18The chief's own men accused Rodney of endangering officers and creating a toxic workplace culture.
12:25Rodney should know the campus better than anyone.
12:29But all week he's been hiding under his desk.
12:32He's obviously completely unqualified.
12:35Brown's the most liberal Ivy League school and they take DEI more seriously than safety.
12:41The school's been under intense pressure from the Palestinian students.
12:46The president, who is a no show at today's presser, has been heckled for years by Muslim underclassmen.
12:53She always bends the knee, but they heckle her anyway.
12:57Over the summer, radical left human rights groups demanded Brown disable their security cameras.
13:02So Palestinian activists could raise hell under the radar.
13:07Did they cave?
13:08We asked.
13:09No response.
13:11It's not just Brown.
13:12The whole city is a DEI mess.
13:15You know who else was at the press conference?
13:17The Providence City Council chief of staff is a genderless bisexual who was arrested for protesting at Trump Tower this year.
13:25Meanwhile, the police chief could be compromised.
13:28Turns out the chief's nephew was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison for running one of the largest fentanyl rings in Rhode Island.
13:37And Mayor Smiley promoted him to chief knowing his family was trafficking.
13:42Why would Smiley do that?
13:44Well, because Smiley and the chief speak the same language.
13:48The chief's main goal is to diversify the department.
13:52It's too white.
13:53He says when an officer shows up to a call on a Colombian block party.
13:58So Colombians are loud.
14:00They know at a party and a Colombian officer would be more understanding while a white officer would just start slapping cuffs on everyone at the fiesta.
14:09This is the guy leading the investigation into one of the biggest unsolved mass shootings in American history.
14:1511 people shot two dead one was like the most prominent Republican on campus.
14:22And we don't have any answers or videos or pictures.
14:26We don't know what he shouted if he had an accomplice the size of his gun the number of witnesses where he is how he got out.
14:34And the people trying to ask questions are getting told shut up by the Rhode Island senator.
14:41For people who have no idea what they're talking about.
14:46To offer their stupid and ill informed views about what happened all over the Internet.
14:53So I would please just from a law enforcement perspective ask anyone who sees this to just shut up.
15:02They're asking for the public's help, but they're telling us to shut up.
15:06They arrested the wrong guy, got no video and didn't even know if the brown cop cars had dash cams.
15:11They're in no position to lecture anybody.
15:14This is completely unacceptable.
15:16The whole thing.
15:17Retired FBI criminal profile James Fitzgerald.
15:22James, what do you see in this new video or still they released from a video of the second person?
15:34Yeah, you can tell the senator first.
15:35I'm not going to shut up, but I agree with a lot of what you said, Jesse.
15:38Of course, any investigation, there's other people tags on cars, people walking by storefronts.
15:44You're going to try to identify them.
15:46You're going to try to pick out who they are, what they are.
15:49And it always if it goes past 12 hours or 24 hours and this person who ostensibly was doing nothing at the scene.
15:55If he doesn't turn himself in, call in not to be arrested, say, hey, I'm the guy you're looking for.
16:00That has to ask or put out some of the more questions about what he's doing there.
16:05Maybe he does have a connection to the shooter.
16:08Doesn't seem to be the shooter, but he's right around that person.
16:11So I would say if he's listening or watching or reading this, call the police.
16:15Let them know, hey, I was doing nothing there.
16:17Here's what I can offer.
16:18That's a very good point.
16:19Do you have a theory on this case?
16:21Was this a crime of opportunity?
16:23This was a soft target.
16:24Guy goes in, comes out and that's it.
16:27Kind of mad at the school.
16:28Or was he going in there to kill a specific individual?
16:31Yeah.
16:32And my earliest media hit on Monday morning.
16:36That's what I said.
16:37And as soon as I saw the name of Ms.
16:40Cook, who was the vice president of the of the Republican Club.
16:44I just couldn't rule that out.
16:45I look at this as a profiler.
16:47I've been on many task force task forces over the years.
16:50Anthrax and the murder of a DEA agent.
16:53Two professors murdered Dartmouth College at their home.
16:56And we have to walk in with every single option.
16:59Where was someone specifically targeted?
17:01And to me, it's more than a coincidence that this young woman was killed who happens to be one of the few probably representatives of the Republican side of the house in that particular very far left university.
17:14Something isn't right there.
17:15And Jesse, before anything else, I'm also a forensic linguist.
17:18What the heck did that guy yell when he walked in the door?
17:21There's such a thing as ear witness evidence, not just eyewitness ear witness.
17:26Somebody has to know.
17:27And if it comes out later that the Brown people, the Brown University or the Providence PD is holding back what this person said because it wasn't politically correct.
17:36That's going to be really, really a problem.
17:39Yeah, that's going to that's going to have legal repercussions.
17:42Well, they're also the university holding back video.
17:45They say they have video inside the auditorium.
17:47They're not releasing it because it doesn't show a picture of the face of the gunman.
17:52Is that proper?
17:57Look, I'm going to give the investigators on the ground, including the FBI.
18:01Now, I hope in the Rhode Island State Police some leeway here.
18:05They're inside.
18:06We're all, of course, outside.
18:07A lot of people bash the Idaho investigators and even NYPD last few years over cases that weren't solved right away.
18:14Let's give the working people, working investigators and agents time to do that.
18:18I have a problem, though, with what's on that panel.
18:20And I don't even know about some of the stuff you just mentioned about the chief and his assistant, the president, everything out there.
18:27This is a bad if this was pitched to Netflix as some kind of a some kind of a comedy.
18:33They would turn it down because it's too unbelievable.
18:35The richest school in the country or one of them.
18:37It makes no sense at all.
18:38There are a lot of problems on that panel.
18:40And I hope someone comes and takes over and gets this operation run.
18:44And I hate to bash these people in the middle of an investigation.
18:47I'm not bashing them.
18:48I'm just angry.
18:49I'm frustrated because they can't communicate.
18:52And it doesn't seem like they know what's going on.
18:55And there's a killer out loose and they're not giving us anything to go on.
18:58It's dangerous and it's sick.
19:00James, thank you so much.
19:02God forbid someone else gets killed.
19:03Exactly.
19:04Exactly.
19:05He's at large.
19:06All right.
19:08Fox News alert.
19:09Just minutes away from President Trump's primetime address to the nation.
19:13And we're going to go live to the White House straight ahead.
19:16Plus breaking news on Rob Reiner's murder.
19:25Fox News alert.
19:26Nick Reiner in court for the first time today in his suicide vest and shackles.
19:30He's charged with the double homicide of his parents, Rob and Michelle Reiner.
19:34Senior national correspondent Kevin Cork has the latest.
19:37Kevin.
19:38Evening, Jesse.
19:39Bearded, wearing glasses and restrained in a blue protective vest.
19:43And as you point out, wearing shackles, 32 year old Nick Reiner, son of famed Hollywood
19:47actor, director Rob Reiner, appeared in court today, three days after his arrest.
19:51In a day after he was charged with fatally stabbing his parents, Rob and Michelle, early
19:55Sunday morning in Brentwood.
19:57The couple's bodies discovered Sunday afternoon before a planned evening gathering with former
20:02President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama.
20:04Now, in a bit of a surprise to many, the arraignment was postponed again today, this time
20:10for three weeks, so the accused killer actually didn't have to enter a plea, at least not yet.
20:15Reiner, of course, could face the death penalty for the vicious stabbings.
20:19Meantime, also today, a new trove of video has surfaced, including one of the accused killer,
20:25where he apparently was calmly strolling near his parents' home before the murders.
20:31Reiner also was seen in another video allegedly buying a drink at a gas station, again moments
20:35before his arrest.
20:37There have also, Jesse, been numerous reports that were beginning to sort of filter through,
20:42including some that have detailed Nick's alleged violent behavior, including one from the post
20:47that he'd been living in his parents' guest house, which he'd apparently trashed several
20:52times in violent outbursts.
20:54Now, if you throw in alleged meth use and not sleeping for days, and there are a lot of people
21:00who knew him who thought it was only a matter of time before something terrible happened.
21:04Some, in fact, noting adroitly he was a ticking time bomb.
21:08Oh, and by the way, there's this from Nick a few years ago talking about his temperament.
21:14He was fiery.
21:15You don't seem very fiery to me.
21:17You seem like you might just- I get crazy.
21:18I get crazy.
21:19Oh, okay.
21:20Yeah.
21:21You don't want to set me off.
21:23Don't want to set me off, he said right there.
21:26In the meantime, there are also new questions tonight about his lawyer, celebrity defense
21:30attorney, Alan Jackson, of course, arguing the case.
21:33He repped Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein previously, and there are legal eagles who
21:38believe he could charge over a million bucks for this case, which of course begs the all
21:44important question.
21:45How does a guy who's been homeless repeatedly with no apparent source of income afford such
21:51high priced counsel?
21:52One of many questions we continue to seek answers for tonight, Jesse.
21:56Yeah.
21:57Tragic and very weird situation.
21:58Yeah.
21:59Thank you so much.
22:00You bet.
22:03Fox News alert.
22:04We're learning more about the left wing New Year's Eve terror plot that the FBI broke
22:08up.
22:09Big surprise.
22:10It involves Trantifa.
22:12One of the five arrested is a former cop and Marine.
22:15Micah James Legnan.
22:17Sources say they're a Trantifa extremist and wanted to recreate Waco on ICE agents in New
22:24Orleans.
22:25The rest of the radicals were planning an attack in L.A.
22:28Zachary Page is also trans and is now begging the judge to go to a women's jail.
22:34Hopefully the judge denies that request.
22:40Sleigh bells are ringing.
22:41Ice warriors are whistling and liberals are transitioning Mary and Joseph into bad hombres.
22:47I cannot help but think of what is happening in our city today and how that echoes with
22:56how outsiders have been treated for thousands of years.
23:00How Mary and Joseph themselves were considered outsiders and forced to stay in a barn.
23:09Since when did Mary and Joseph have mug shots?
23:12It's not just the Bible.
23:13They're rewriting history to turning the Boston Tea Party into an ice tea party.
23:19Liberals are declaring war on ice like the red coats.
23:35Leslie Jones wants a reckoning.
23:37Everybody that worked for ice, I want them in jail.
23:40I just want a reckoning.
23:42I want a reckoning.
23:44Y'all know y'all did wrong stuff.
23:46You know some of the stuff you did was so wrong.
23:49I need a reckoning.
23:50Because that's to me, that's the only thing that's going to make it right.
23:54At least Ilhan Omar has some holiday hope.
23:57She says what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
24:01What we are also seeing is people showing just how resilient and united Minnesotans are in defending their neighbors,
24:10documenting the actions of the unlawful actions that we're seeing from ice agents and we're seeing them come together.
24:18Resistance elves have been hard at work assembling their nice list.
24:22This year, the competition's fierce.
24:24Top of the leaderboard, ice Karens.
24:27Agents were outnumbered in Minneapolis.
24:29Cars blocked in, snowballs flying.
24:32It didn't end well for them.
24:34Let her go!
24:35Let her go!
24:36Let her go!
24:37Let her go!
24:38Y'all just drag their **** around?
24:40Let her go!
24:41Let her go!
24:42Let her go!
24:43Let her go!
24:45Let her go!
24:46Let her go!
24:47Let her go!
24:48Let her go!
24:49In a close second, a bad hombre with a big gun.
24:53But who needs guns?
24:55This season, resistance warriors are using words as weapons.
24:59It's a piece of **** Bovino.
25:02The loser piece of ****.
25:05Cause you're a ****.
25:07And you're a ****.
25:08And you're a ****.
25:09And you're a ****.
25:10And you're a ****.
25:11And you're a ****.
25:12Let's hope Bovino finds a big beautiful bar of soap under his tree because someone's mouth needs a deep clean.
25:18That's if Bovino and the boys make it home for Christmas.
25:22They're surging into Ohio and Kansas now to deliver Somalis a festive farewell.
25:28They're not the only ones lonely this Christmas.
25:31Homan's at the border.
25:32And he's home alone.
25:34Hundreds upon hundreds of miles of border.
25:37I didn't see one illegal alien.
25:41Not a single one.
25:43Incredible.
25:44Considering the Biden administration, we had 10, 12,000 a day.
25:47Fox News alert.
25:50Trump's about to address the nation from the White House.
25:53We'll take you there.
25:55Plus, Fannie's back and she put on a show.
26:00Minutes away from his address to the nation.
26:07And one thing that may come up.
26:1047 just ordered a full blown Venezuelan oil blockade.
26:14Nothing sanctioned is getting in or out.
26:16Maduro needs about 200 million a week to keep the dictatorship from collapsing.
26:21A U.S.
26:22Naval blockade squeezes that cash to a drip.
26:25It's only a matter of time.
26:26Once the money and oil get choked off, people put it just a matter of weeks.
26:30Until then, coke boats will keep going kaboom.
26:34Pistol Pete.
26:35Officially taking out 95 narco traffickers.
26:38Or as Democrats call them, fishermen.
26:41Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had.
26:44They took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching.
26:49But they're not going to do that.
26:50We want it back.
26:52They took our oil rights.
26:53We had a lot of oil there.
26:55As you know, they threw our companies out and we want it back.
26:58This is big.
26:59Trump's upping the ante.
27:01Venezuela is sitting on the largest oil reserves in the world.
27:05300 billion barrels.
27:08America used to do big business there, but they seized our leases and our oil.
27:12And China swooped in and started cashing in.
27:16Venezuela took all those oil profits and started funding narco terrorism
27:20and pouring migrants through our borders.
27:23No bueno.
27:24Those days are about to be over.
27:28Guess who's back.
27:30Back again.
27:32Fanny's back.
27:34Tell Nathan.
27:36Fanny Willis strutting into court today for a hearing over her sham Trump investigation.
27:41She brought the drip.
27:4360 degrees in Atlanta and Fanny's looking like a snow angel.
27:47She's used to the fur, though.
27:49Nathan keeps the cabin cold.
27:52And what's a fur coat without a fanny pack?
27:54That looks like a Louis Vuitton.
27:56At least a couple G's.
27:58Not too shabby for a public servant.
28:01After the fashion show wrapped, Fanny got feisty.
28:05The date that I have is January 24th of 2022.
28:09Does that seem like it's within the range of being the correct?
28:12So I already stated I don't trust you.
28:14I understand you're trying to run for lieutenant governor right now.
28:16Anything you want me to testify to, I'm going to need to see.
28:19Georgia, please, let's elect any lieutenant governor.
28:22But this one.
28:23Hmm.
28:24And she was just getting started.
28:26You all want to intimidate people from doing the right thing.
28:29And you think that you're going to intimidate me.
28:32You all have been trying to intimidate me for five years, which is why I have not been able
28:36to live in my house for five years, because the N word has been written on my house.
28:40Thousands of threats have come to my office.
28:43But you see, I'm not Marjorie Taylor Greene.
28:45I ain't going to quit in a month.
28:46Ooh.
28:47Fannie ain't going anywhere, y'all.
28:50She did learn something from investigating Trump.
28:52How to fight, fight, fight.
28:54It just came at a cost.
28:56The cost of love.
28:58What I can tell you is that I only allowed Mr. Wade to bill 160 hours a week.
29:04And then Mr. Wade would be the first one in the office making sure that my staff arrived.
29:09He corrected their behavior.
29:11They thought that 8.30 meant 8.30.
29:12He taught them that 8.30 means 7.45.
29:15That would mean Nathan worked 22 hours a day for seven days a week.
29:21That's a lot of pro bono.
29:23If you know what I mean.
29:25For the record, Fannie did correct herself later.
29:27She says she meant hours per month.
29:29But we'll let it slide.
29:31We know how she gets flustered when Nathan's name pops up.
29:35But make no mistake, Fannie wants everyone to know who wore the pants in this situation ship.
29:41Was Mr. Wade part of, would you say, more than half of the interviews that you conducted?
29:45Yes.
29:46Would you say it was more than 75% of the interviews conducted?
29:48I'm not going to guess at numbers.
29:49He was definitely more than half.
29:51And what percentage of decisions, the same percentage of decisions that he was a part of?
29:55I ultimately made every decision.
29:58Was Mr. Wade paid for this transition work?
30:00None of them were paid.
30:01It was all volunteer work.
30:02Oh, lover boy was just a volunteer boyfriend.
30:06Nothing to see here.
30:08While Fannie and Nathan's honeymoon ends, Democrats are into someone new.
30:12The cross-legged disciple.
30:14You guys think Newsom's earned the front runner spot?
30:17I think he's done more to improve his image with the base of the Democratic Party than anyone else by a landslide.
30:22Gavin's got some work to do.
30:24He's neck and neck with Kamala.
30:26And she ain't going away.
30:28I have to ask you, are you thinking about 2028?
30:31Do you feel like you have unfinished business that you want to do?
30:35You can always break news at our table.
30:39We'd love to have that.
30:41I have not made any decisions about that.
30:43Hmm.
30:44It's like Christmas came early for Republicans.
30:47Kamala 2028.
30:48But this time, no isn't an option.
30:51Even if Kamala's a repeat swing state loser.
30:54Anyone who is being in any way discouraged from pursuing their ambition.
31:06I would say to them, don't you hear no?
31:10Let's just hope there's no tears this time around.
31:14Black dudes for Harris were crashing out.
31:16My wife was upstairs.
31:18She was in her office.
31:20And she said, are you okay?
31:21And I said, you know, and then she said to me, very simple.
31:26She said, Jamie, what will it take for a black woman in this country?
31:30And Madam Vice President, when she said that, I just had to turn away and I went to our bedroom and I cried.
31:39I really did.
31:41Let's bring in Fox and Friends Weekend co-host Charlie Hurt.
31:45We can't, we can't ignore our friend Fannie.
31:47I mean, Trump's enemies.
31:50It's like, none of them have any class.
31:56Or self-awareness.
31:58I mean, you know, to listen to her complain about that.
32:01And let's just say for a second that she was being, you know, prosecuted for political reasons.
32:11It's so funny to sit there and listen to her talk about all that.
32:14When you recall that just a couple of years ago, she was doing precisely that.
32:19And there's nobody today has any question that that's what she was doing and others were doing as well.
32:25But what I love to think about is, you know, because of her weird escapades going after Donald Trump, Donald Trump got a great picture out of all of it.
32:35Yeah.
32:36He got a really fantastic mugshot.
32:38It's hanging in the White House, right outside the Oval Office.
32:42He loves that thing.
32:43We all love that thing.
32:45Something tells me that whatever she gets out of this thing she has to deal with right now, she's not going to be like, you know, framing it and putting it in the foyer inside of her front door when you walk into her house.
33:00Yeah, that the greatest gift anybody could have ever given the Donald Trump for president campaign.
33:06I don't know if you've noticed.
33:07And remember.
33:08Go ahead.
33:09And and remember when he was riding in down there to the to the courthouse in Atlanta, the streets were lined with people, Democrat voters in Democrat neighborhoods lined with voters who were cheering him on.
33:24The there's a lot of feminine aura surrounding the Democrat Party.
33:29I don't know if you've picked up on this, Charlie.
33:31They're talking about crying.
33:33Gavin Newsom's putting his legs behind his head.
33:38You got tampon.
33:39Tim Walts.
33:40You got Mayor Pete.
33:41You got Kamala Harris.
33:42What's going on with that?
33:45I don't know.
33:48I kind of makes you wonder if maybe they're taking all of their crazy ideological nonsense about gender a little bit too personally, a little too seriously.
33:59And maybe they're at least they appear to be castrating themselves, which does not work out well.
34:06Not a very smart move, especially if you're trying to run for public office.
34:10But, you know, the weird thing about this that I think really may be actually true.
34:17Twenty twenty may have been the high watermark for Democrats in a post Obama era.
34:24Democrats have had a lot of problems going back a number of years.
34:27Obama was able to keep them together.
34:30And all that fell apart when Obama left.
34:33And the only thing that kept them together for twenty twenty was Donald Trump.
34:38And in the post Trump world, when we see whoever it is that picks up the Trump mantle to to carry forward the America first agenda that Donald Trump has brought us.
34:50And I think it's probably going to be J.D. Vance.
34:53You know, what are what are Democrats going to do?
34:56What is what in the world is going to unite them?
34:59And their obsession with race, their obsession with terrible economic policies, their obsession with open borders, I think is going to wind up absolutely destroying them.
35:09And we may look back at twenty twenty as the moment that they reach their apex of support.
35:16Yeah.
35:17In a way, Trump's a blessing and a curse to the Democrats.
35:20And I think you're absolutely right.
35:21They peaked.
35:22They peaked too soon.
35:23Yeah.
35:24Like me in high school.
35:25Yeah.
35:26Charlie, good to see you.
35:27Exactly.
35:28Although you you do a great M&M.
35:30I got it.
35:31That was you shouldn't have brought that up.
35:33I thought no one noticed.
35:35I'm still a little little embarrassed by it.
35:37Thanks, Charlie.
35:40Fox News alert.
35:41President Trump's about to deliver his primetime address.
35:43We'll go live to the White House next.
35:49We're moments away from President Trump's primetime address live from the White House.
35:54The president's expected to highlight some of his biggest accomplishments since taking office and lay out what to expect in the years to come.
36:02Let's bring in host of Mornings with Maria, Maria Bartiromo.
36:06All right, Maria Bartiromo.
36:07So the president is going to get this opportunity to drive his economic message.
36:14What should he say?
36:15Well, I think I know what he's going to say.
36:17He's got a great story to tell, Jesse.
36:19He's going to talk first about the border and he's going to say how secure it is.
36:22Then he's going to go into his economic policies, which include tax cuts, deregulation and tapping into energy capacity in America.
36:30He certainly is going to discuss the fact that he has lured companies and investors to put 18 trillion dollars into America.
36:38And the 18 trillion dollars is not as important as what they're doing with it.
36:43They are building supply chains so that we can make stuff again in America like pharmaceutical products and semiconductor chips so that we are not any longer wedded to China.
36:54Because right now, 90 percent of the underlying components of our pharmaceuticals and our antibiotics are made in China and India.
37:00So that's going to be a very positive thing.
37:02I suspect he's also going to talk about what's ahead and he's going to say we're going to have a rock and roll year in the year ahead because the big, beautiful bill is going to take effect with all of those changes in the tax code like no tax on tips and no tax on Social Security.
37:17But even more important than that is going to be the expensing options for businesses.
37:21I've got friends who are expensing and writing off things like new computers and and all the stuff that you can write off because of all of these new changes in the tax code.
37:31That is going to be big. I spoke today with one major investor, Louis Navalier.
37:35He said in 2026, expect growth of five percent.
37:39That is a big deal. Of course, one of the big issues right now is the cost of living.
37:44And the president is likely going to talk about how he has reined in inflation, certainly by taking oil prices lower.
37:51But it's not so easy to get down from 40 year highs of inflation, which was the case under Joe Biden.
37:56Remember, nine point one percent consumer price index.
37:59Yeah, that was the case under Joe Biden.
38:01And tomorrow, tomorrow morning, which we'll cover on Mornings with Maria on Fox Business, we will get the latest consumer price index.
38:08And it's expected to be three percent.
38:11Get your head around that one, Jesse.
38:13Nine point one percent to three percent.
38:15I suspect he'll say all of that.
38:17And then he will wish us a very happy Christmas.
38:19Merry Christmas and a great year ahead.
38:21All right. Well, it sounds like he does have a good story to tell.
38:24Just asking for a little more patience to pull ourselves out of the Bidenomics hole.
38:29Maria, we'll be watching you tomorrow morning.
38:31Thank you, as always. Thanks, Jesse.
38:33White House A.I. czar David Sachs.
38:36So, David, A.I. is just driving the stock markets, driving investment.
38:41The Democrats want to slam the brakes on it, though.
38:44What's the message for tonight on that?
38:48Well, that's right, Jesse.
38:50Bernie Sanders just tweeted out that he wants to stop all construction of data centers.
38:54He wants a total halt to progress in the A.I. race.
38:57If we do that, we will lose to China.
38:59It will be the biggest own goal in American history.
39:01A.I. is driving the economy right now.
39:03We had a four percent GDP growth rate last quarter.
39:05Almost half of that was related to A.I.
39:08It would be a really bad idea to stop progress because we don't control that.
39:12The progress is inevitable.
39:13The question is whether the United States is going to win or whether China is going to win.
39:17But Bernie and the Democrats just want the progress to stop.
39:20Will the president be making the point that it's great for the stock market and these investments are going to pay off big time next year and the year beyond?
39:28But right now, where is the payoff right now if you're not in the stock market and you're just a middle class worker?
39:35Well, Jesse, if you're a construction worker who's working in any of these areas, whether data centers or the energy production that's necessary for the data centers, you're seeing your wages go up 30 percent.
39:45It's people. It's not just stock market investors.
39:47It's people like plumbers, electricians, carpenters, the people who hang the drywall or pour the concrete or drivers, engineers, architects.
39:55There's a construction boom going on right now in America, and that is lifting the wages of all workers and is creating a lot of jobs.
40:01These are blue collar jobs. It's not just tech workers.
40:04Because some of the anti A.I. message is it's going to put you out of a job.
40:09It's no evidence of that.
40:11So there's no evidence that A.I. is taking away people's jobs.
40:15No, it's creating jobs. Yale just came out with a study in the last 33 months.
40:19No disruption to the job market. That's all a myth.
40:21What we're seeing is job creation.
40:23We're seeing a construction boom and we're seeing roughly a doubling of the GDP growth rate.
40:27So, look, people can predict whatever they want about the future because no one really knows the future.
40:32But if you look at the data that we see right now, there is no job loss because of A.I.
40:37It's all job creation.
40:39Now, Elon Musk famously said we might not even have to work in a few years because A.I. is going to make life so easy.
40:47What does he mean by that?
40:49Well, Elon's a visionary and he's a great visionary and he creates the future.
40:53And for him, the future is it's really clear.
40:56But I think the timelines matter a lot here.
40:58And I think Elon's right, but it's going to take a long time to get to that future.
41:02But what he's basically saying is that we're going to be in a world of abundance because of A.I. and robotics.
41:07And they're going to eventually be able to do all the work for us.
41:09But I don't think that's what's going to happen in the next few years, at least.
41:12So but I think it's a positive future.
41:14OK, it's good to hear.
41:16Thank you so much, David.
41:17Look forward to your analysis the next time.
41:20Let's now bring in Kayleigh McEnany, host of Saturday in America, which will be hosted from TPUSA headquarters this weekend out in Arizona.
41:28I'll be there.
41:29Hopefully we run into each other if you're not sick of me enough already from the five, Kayleigh.
41:34The president out now in front of the nation.
41:39This is a big event.
41:41He was just doing a big economic speech in Pennsylvania.
41:44Is this teeing up a lot of the action for next year in the midterms?
41:51This is the kickoff to the midterms.
41:53And it is always a big deal when a president asks for primetime network coverage.
41:58The first time ever that they are cutting into the season finale of Survivor on CBS by way of example.
42:04It's a big thing when you ask for that time.
42:06He's asking for it.
42:07And I think he's going to use it to great effect.
42:09When I was on the Trump campaign, we knew that the greatest form of political communication is contrast messaging.
42:15And Republicans hold a lead, according to Reuters, on crime, economy and immigration vis-a-vis the Democrats.
42:22So President Trump tonight, I think he's going to come out and not just say, look, I'm bringing down inflation.
42:27My policies are working.
42:28Yes, that's important.
42:29But it's contrasting it to the Democrats.
42:31Democrats took twenty nine hundred dollars out of your paycheck.
42:34I've put a thousand dollars back in and Democratic jurisdictions around the country.
42:38There have been people getting lit on fire on subways.
42:41Horrific stories.
42:42Irina Zarutska.
42:43I'm bringing safety and security to the streets on immigration.
42:46You can go down the list.
42:47That is what you will see.
42:49No one does that better than President Trump.
42:51He has a great story to tell.
42:53You're going to see him tell it.
42:54But you're exactly right.
42:55Kickoff to the midterms starts tonight.
42:57You know, because he blew the Democratic Party so far out of the atmosphere that there is no contrast.
43:03It's just Trump, the Republican Party in complete domination.
43:07You're saying he kind of almost needs to elevate the Democratic Party as a foil or as a contrast to say this is where they're going to take you.
43:16This is where I'm going to take you.
43:18And that's necessary, even though it might bring them back into the arena.
43:24It's necessary when you have guys like Mom Donnie.
43:26I know it's deep blue New York City, but winning on this message of affordability.
43:30It's necessary to remind people where we've been, where we are.
43:34We've made significant progress in where we are going.
43:37And that's what I'm looking for are the deliverables tonight.
43:40I really hope he comes out and announces some sort of policy deliverable.
43:44He does this day by day pretty much.
43:46But if he's able to say, look, two thousand dollar tariff checks are coming your way next year.
43:51Some deliverable. There are millions of people that will be watching tonight.
43:55He the Trump checks that we heard just last week.
43:58Again, there's a deliverable day by day.
44:00But now is the time to highlight what you've delivered and what you're going to deliver next going into November, which is critical.
44:07Do you think if the tariff rebate.
