watters primetime." >> he is weakens masquerading. >> stop pussyfooting around. >> newsom, what it means. >> sammy the bull has an idea, he's here. >> i was patriot of the mafia, i loved it and protected it and i'd kill for it. [screaming] >> jesse: how the palestinians stole christmas. plus -- >> my boss got bit by a dog. >> i'm sorry. >> you know what the worst part was? >> what? >> the dog was a democrat. [laughter] >> jesse: fox news alert, brand new developments in the biden bribery scandal, remember joe biden cashed $40,000 check that came from china? >> 40,000 in laundered china

money landed in joe biden's personal bank account in the form of a check. >> jesse: the white houses his brother was paying joe back. a money laundering investigator blew the whistle. in 2018, this money laundering investigator was flagging hunter biden's accounts like crazy. hunter was designated pep, politically person. hunter demanded chinese pay the bribe and threatened the chinese his dad was in the room. the chinese sent $5 million the next week and hunter told the bank it was a loan. the money laundering investigator called this unusual

and erratic since the llc does not have any investment projects at this time, raising concern as millions in fees are being paid and does not appear to have services rendered, that is bank lingo for bribe. the money laundering investigator added hunter biden put his family in a hole which opened him to china targeting children of politicians and purchase of political influence through sweetheart deals. the money laundering investigator finished with this, the activity on the account appears unusual with no current business purpose and may require reevaluation of the bank's relationship with the customer. that is bank lingo for chinese are bribing the vice president's family and we should tell them to bank somewhere else so we

don't find ourselves under federal investigation for money laundering. the fbi and cia and the bank knew they were taking bribes and laundering cash and no one did anything. that tells me biden is a puppet or he's being blackmailed or he's a made man. save your breath, you got nothing on me, you know it, i know it. i'm changing dollar bills, that's all. do you want to waste my time? okay, i call my lawyer. he is the best lawyer in miami. he's such a good lawyer that by tomorrow morning you going to be working in alaska. so dress warm. >> jesse: here now notorious mobster sammy the bull. how you doing, sammy? >> i'm doing pretty good, i saw -- heard your opening monologue and it's incredible,

incredible story. i mean, it's mind-blowing, i don't understand how the country is sitting back listening to these things and no aksz being taken. if you want my opinion, there are so many guys that i know who would go to prison for 20 to lifetime sentences for this kind of stuff and when it comes from the president, vice president and people like that, it is beyond theft, it's treason to a country. when i was younger in the military treason is something you face the death penalty for because you are robbing every man, woman and child, every race, black, white, hispanic, asian. you can't get a more disgusting crime than this. i've been hearing it over and over again. and i don't understand why there

is no action, certain people like yourself talking about it and i'm very proud of you. i know a lot of people in the media industry, men and women, through the years and they are good people, they went to colleges and universities, to come out and stop things like this and protect us small people and yet they do nothing. i know why they do nothing, i spoke to a lot of them. i will not mention names, but a lot of them, they are a single mom or have a job that is paying well, their bosses won't let them talk and if they do talk, they get fired. it's a shame. so as far as what you are doing and talking about and saying openly and honestly and bravely, may i say that, so -- >> jesse: you're saying the biden family's treasonous and

that the feds know they're dealing with a treasonous family, but many honest people in the federal government are afraid to speak out because they will be fired and destroyed? >> yes, without a doubt. i cooperated years ago, everybody knows with fbi and federal government and prosecutors, john gleason and different judges. they were so honest, it was unbelievable. i was proud to be with them for a while, i am still friends with some of them. they have fold me they are embarrassed to tell people they are fbi agent. i said, don't feel like that, get out, and do something about it. don't sit back. not just them, any one individual, talking about the whole country. if we allow this, our forefathers died for this country. i am a veteran, i go to the va

hospital and see people walking around without a leg or arm, they fought for us, died for us, lost parts of their body for us, how do you think these people feel when they go home and look in the mirror, everything they gave and we sit back and do nothing. i don't care how much power they have on their side, we have the people, the people are the power. if we don't talk, don't say something, then we're part of it, we become complicit with what is going on. so that is how i feel about it. i feel strongly about it, now that i changed my life, i fight for a lot of things, open borders, people pouring in invading our country by the millions, not tens of thousands, millions and we do nothing. >> jesse: i never thought i would hear an inspiring patriotic speech from sammy the bull tonight on primetime, i

think you are saying things people agree with and you paid the price, served your time and i think what you are telling me, you are seeing things that mirror what you did and what you were involved with back in the day. >> it is true. we did things, i don't even want to compare, we are like choir boys compared to these people. we always had a thing about protecting the public. i talk about people and i have friends in new york and family and they turn around and say, sammy, it was so much better when the mafia was in control in new york, things that are going on. i see the lighting of the tree. these things are so important, not for religion or anything like that, it is so festive and brings love and respect. they used to be hundreds of thousands of people lighting the trees and looking at macy's

window and it brought love to your heart, no matter how bad of a person you are. now i'm seeing riots and things going on, how do you have the audaci ty to come to this country and do this and you're getting away with it is mindblowing. >> jesse: we need to bring back love and upon are, not sure we would have to bring back the mob if we would take things ourselves. great talking to you. merry christmas, i know it is early to say that, thank you for joining us on >> jesse:. >> thank you so much, my pleasure and i watched you years ago when you would interview people coming out of colleges and running around, you are a main person now and doing a great job, you did it from day one up until now, continue it, it is my pleasure to talk to you, anything i can do for you, let me know.

>> jesse: i'll let you know, i appreciate that. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> jesse: why senator dick durbin covering up for jeffrey epstein, a dead child trafficker and senator marsha blackburn tried to subpoena eshg pstein log today and it was blocked, why can't we see who was on his jet or went to his island? we already know bill clinton. who is dick durbin protecting? he is a pedophile and he's dead, so durbin is protecting associates of a dead pedophile? durbin's office said they didn't have enough time to schedule a vote on the subpoena, okay, they'll have time tomorrow. you are the senate whip, dick, you can make time. they got a subpoena to go

through melanie trump's underwear drawer. and epstein had surveillance video and hard drives seized. almost like the government has no interest in tackling international sex trafficking. it was intel and dick durbin is covering up, what a bunch of animals and how dare they pretend to care about women and kids. ahead, primetime talks to dogs. when moderate to severe ulcerative colitis takes you off course. put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when i wanted to see results fast, rinvoq delivered rapid symptom relief and helped leave bathroom urgency behind. check. when uc tried to slow me down... i got lasting, steroid-free remission with rinvoq. check. and when uc caused damage rinvoq came through

(car engine revs) (engine accelerating) (texting clicks) (tires squeal) (glass shattering) (loose gravel clanking) >> jesse: we caught the left censor free speech before an

election and they are still trying to justify it. >> you are aware of course, that the laptop, so to speak, was published in "new york post" was actually a hard drive that the "new york post" admitted here was not authent indicated as real, it is not the laptop the fbi had, right? >> it was same contents. >> how do you know? would it be transparent if hunter biden testified in this hearing than if he testified privately? >> i've never thought about that, i have no idea. >> you don't know? >> i've never thought about that. >> is testimony -- >> are you familiar with the first amendment? i yield back. >> congress will not abridge freedom of speech. >> jesse: social media companies keep coming up with ridiculous excuses for when and why and where it is okay to censor you.

>> social media platforms to whom they flagged potentially problematic tweets took action on only 35% of them. and only 13% were removed, it was 35% of the url's labeled, removed or soft blocked, that is all forms of censorship but 65% were not. how can the government be so coercive? first amendment say the -- >> time of the gentleman expired. chair recognizes -- >> 35% of the first amendment. >> jesse: you paying attention? politicians arguing it is okay to censor a third of the things you say, while saying no one is being censored and federal judge ruled against biden administration saying what they are doing is censor, the judge is saying it is illegal and

democrats are saying it is fine, if it is 35%. the constitution says congress shall make no law prohibiting free exercise or abridging freedom of speech or the press. the democrats had a congressional hearing said, yes, we can. dan holloway joins me now. i should talk with a third of my mouth covered because the government might be watching. >> dan: this is, dan goldman, last dummy pretending the hunter biden laptop is not real, do you want to be the last guy admitting that? can they search 35% of my home without a warrant or quarter troops and 35% of my house? this guy should be getting 65% of his salary, that sounds like too much. >> jesse: only go to floor,

second floor you can keep. we are negotiating the percentage of constitutional rights they can take away. >> that is how it is, though, right? this is the show i do, the premise is this, you can whine about your rights and wait for somebody to secure them and be subject under the rule or you can secure rights yourself by performing the responsibilities required of a citizen and one is to be educated and know how the constitution works, i expect average ordinary citizen to know that and expect members of congress to know how it works. we've got problems, a little disconnect here, right? >> jesse: dan and sammy the bull said the same thing, people need to wake up and get it together, this censorship and corruption just washing over us as we stare into our phones for the rest of our lives.

you think it will wake us up or not? >> dan: staring into the phone will not wake you up, that is a chinese programming device you are holding, sir. >> jesse: it sure is and china, i'm sorry i looked at that website, that was a mistake. >> dan: you only looked at 35%, though. >> jesse: dan, we'll have you back, go check out drinking bros. muslims rioted against the christmas tree lighting last night here, if you watch the news, you would never know. tired muscles and joints were keeping me from my family. now i can be myself again. blue-emu supports healthy muscles and joints. shop our expanded family of products at major online retailers. you want to know what it takes to be great? you

columbia and hillary had nowhere to hide. [cha [chanting] >> shame on you. shame on you. shame on you. >> jesse: columbia called the confrontation respectful, hillary called it an airstrike, but was convinced not to. hillary is not special, rockefeller center was surrounded by a palestinian mob, demonstration to flood the tree lighting for gaza. watch. [chanting] >> palestine will be free. free, free palestine. free, free palestine. >> jesse: the mob was blocked from disrupting the christmas tree lighting and got violence,

clashing with police. one point, palestinians tried to rip an american flag away from a new yorker, who needed a police escort after radicals surrounded him. >> jesse: seven palestinian supporters were arrested, but that did not slow things down. one protester stole a cop's hat, lit it on fire and paraded it throughout the street. >> what do you want? >> when do you want it? >> when do you want it? >> now. [chanting] >> jesse: if you expected to hear about this attack against american's time-honored christmas tradition, you are out of luck, msnbc, cnn, nbc dedicated zero minutes to violent protesters that targeted

christmas in midtown manhattan, in the media capital of the world. why ignore muslim violence in their own frontyard. am i going to have to save christmas again? why do you think the press covers this muslim violence up? >> it's been clear when it comes to this, they have aligned themselves with left-leaning media and will never show the truth and the other half sold out. if they show you what protests truly, which is antiamerican, they will lose well meaning moderates they claim to be centrist for. >> jesse: they are anticop, antichristmas, they are antichristmas, you do not disrupt the christmas tree lighting in midtown manhattan. you can't do that. this was an attack against

america, against religion and against police and no one wanted to talk about it. when you see violence like this as a jewish american, does it frighten you? >> it frightens me, it does not surprise me. what we saw earlier with hillary clinton, i was at nyu and they hated everything. she was heckled there. they align causes with each other and end of the day, it is antiamerica agenda. >> jesse: this is antiamericanism? >> i do. i feel unsave, but there are well meaning americans. when they protest christmas it reminds me i'm not by myself, it is not antisemitism issue, it is antiamerican issue. >> jesse: you said something during the break, i asked when hanukkah was and you said next

week, you said you celebrate christmas. are you allowed to celebrate christmas and are we allowed to celebrate hanukkah? one thing and the other. >> we are a melting pot, jewish don't exactly celebrate christmas, as jew living in americas, i love christmas time. >> jesse: are you getting a tree? >> i am not. >> jesse: thank you, happy hanukkah. another guy tried to provoke mike tyson, he is now shaking him down. mike, mike -- k-d my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose new neuriva ultra.

>> the biden-harris campaign has a message for you. hi, everyone, join me and joe for a cup of joe. >> jesse: that's real. i can't believe it's real. that person is leading the country. no one wants a cup of joe. the world's richest man has seen enough. >> could you see yoursz voting for president biden, if it is biden-trump election, for example? >> i think i would not vote for biden. >> jesse: wall street doesn't want a cup of joe and they put him in the white house. >> i think biden has done a lot of good things, but i think his legacy will not be a good one if

he's the nominee. i think the right thing for biden to do is step aside and say he's not going to run and create opportunity for competition -- >> why do you think that? >> i think he is past his prime in meaningful way, it is full-time job and you need to be strong, you need to be at your intellectual best and i don't think biden is there. >> jesse: even cuomo wants a cup of joe, considering sipping on don. >> we survived a trump administration, would we survive another one? >> yes, i don't think there is greater risk with him than with biden, data is data, nobody was trying to kill us when trump was president, if anything there is more hostility. >> you are open to trump? >> i am always open, people say you have never voted for a republican in your life, wrong. not only have i, first vote i

ever cast was for a republican. >> jesse: today the "washington post" put it bluntly, biden's quote, one major health issue or one small slip on the stairs from losing the white house, the "washington post"s democratic voters ought to wash the newsom-desantis debate in case they should wake up one day and find themselves in the market. watch fox tonight because newsom is the backup plan, autonot kamala, the secret is out, next time biden falls, newsom is the nominee. in less than 10 minutes, sean hannity will monitor the red versus blue state debate, ron desantis against gavin newsom, they have been talking trash like a prize fight. >> i think i'm being generous, small and pathetic, very generous, he is just weakness masquerading strength, he is

flailing, desperate for attention. >> stop pussyfooting around, are you going to throw your hat in the ring and challenge joe? get? and do it or sit on the sideline and chirp. >> jesse: gavin newsom says he baited ron into the debate. what is your strategy? >> why is he doing it is the question, the fact he took this debate, he took the bait in relation to this debate, shows he is unqualified to be president of the united states. >> why is that? you are baiting him? sglp why debate a guy not running for president when he is running for president. >> jesse: desantis has a shot to separate himself from the pack and gets to square off one-on-one against a democrat, instead of five republicans. desantis says the florida story, to tell national audience and sell it, the florida story is

much better story than the california story and desantis excels when he draws contrast, he can't let newsom's charm go unchecked, turn newsom's charm into sleeze. if he does that with facts and strong storytelling, voters will not trust newsom, newsom's goals are different, i laid it out on "the five," watch. >> newsom has to be good, can't be too good, newsom has to be good and establish himself as the heir apparent apparent, in case something happens to joe and definitely in 2028. if he's too good, you will see donors and pundits start drafting him and that will create a war and i don't think the democratic party wants that right now. newsom is heading in cocky thinking he can handle desantis. not only does he have to defend

california's record, he has to defend biden's record and biden's record without being a suck-up and acknowledge that there is a lot of problems out there and what is his vision to solve it. but if he acknowledges there are a lot of problems, the white house will not be happy. tonight gavin newsom's performance will create drama and a lot of turmoil in the democratic party. for that, we'd like to thank the great sean hannity. turn it over now to national correspondent bill melugin live from georgia. >> bill: jesse, this is a match up that feels it's been a long time coming, two of america's most high-profile governors and these guys simply do not like each other, their policies are polar opposite and they have been slinging mud over tv and social media for months now.

tonight is first time they have met each other and it will be face-to-face, see if the talking they have been doing online matches up in person, what can we expect tonight? desantis to go afternoon gavin newsom on handling of covid-19, mandates, lockdown, crime and homelessness, the cost of living in california, the mass exodus of people leaving california. you can expect newsom to go after desantis on abortion, social issues, transporting migrants around the country. gavin newsom called ron desantis a small, pathetic man and said has campaign is belly flopping against donald trump and ron desantis says gavin newsom hair gel is interfering with brain function and he's responsible for all the people leaving the state of california and going to red states like texas and his state of florida. we went into the debate hall,

cool setup, both candidates will be standing six to eight feet apart, only "hannity," no crowd. each person's side, each governor's side is customized for their side, gavin newsom has a california flag and california bear and picture of the l.a. skyline and hollywood sign and ron desantis has a picture of the florida city with the florida seal, as well. they have been itching to get at each other, going at it online and on tv and tonight they can put up or shut up, they will be face-to-face, eye to eye, national audience to draw contrast between liberalism with two top governors. >> jesse: thanks, bill. let's bring in a political analyst and former advisor for bernie sanders. okay, you are a democrat, you are watching tonight's debate, what are you looking for?

first of all, i'm excited to see this, there should be more of this. there should be the opportunity for people to debate their ideas and i agree when i say both are benefiting from this, desantis gets an opportunity to sell himself and not share time with chris christie or nikki haley or other candidates to show he can stand out. he hasn't had that opportunity and newsom gets an opportunity to defend himself and be able to talk about his left ideas and see if it can land and be clear about it, he's trying out for either vp position or trying out to be the democratic nominee in 2024 or 2028 and to be honest, give him 10 points for coming to fox news, i've been coming for seven years and people criticize me each and every time, i tell democrat and independent friends, i go where you will never go. for the simple fact he is

willing to come to fox and take both of them at the same time, i commend him. >> jesse: if he has a good night, will you say get joe out of here? >> i have been saying it, i think democrats need a better candidate, they have decided that biden is their candidate, so they will have to select him in order to have an opportunity, let him do a good job and put pressure on and see what democrats do. >> jesse: thank you. here now anchor and executive editor of "the story," martha maccallum. she is open and looking for action out of gavin newsom. what does gavin and ron need to do? >> i'm fascinated listening to all of this, you have jamie diamond saying democrats should look at nikki haley. you have all of these barriers

breaking down, the "washington post" saying, watch fox tonight and look at what is going on. there is hunger for an alternative to trump and biden, we know that based on the number 60 to 70% want other choices. if they have trump and biden, we know what the numbers look like at this point and trump is in great shape when it comes to the republican nomination process. no doubt. big opportunity for ron desantis, he is six weeks from iowa, both are struggling for second place. nikki haley had a good week. ron desantis is good going head-to-head with someone with a different ideology. newsom, their goal, two governors that have a lot in common in a lot of ways and different in terms of philosophy about government, small government, big government. it will be interesting to see them duke it out. people will say, why don't we

have more options, it will be a big night and we'll watch them duke it outcoming up soon. >> jesse: if you're desantis, can't you say your state is a mess, everyone is leaving, there is homeless everywhere, you had to clean up for the chinese. can't you just point and say, what are you doing? >> yeah, he will, he absolutely will do that and then you will hear the counter punch there is no freedom in florida, abortion issues, all of that you will hear from gavin newsom, he has a tough argument to make with border and education. he is really preaching to democrats tonight saying, you have other options out there, i'm waiting, watch what i can do. >> jesse: he can't be too good or there will be civil war. thank you so much. sean hannity is next! thank you for doing this, sean. ♪ ♪
