you love may not be loved by people voting. >> joe: i love when elites complain, go vote on your people in the industry, if anybody snubbed, it was "sound of freedom," they got no nominations at all, stop complaining, this makes me want to throw up pink. >> laura: isn't gossling trying to virtue signal, i'm for the gals, the ladies, the women? that is what he's doing, all virtue signalling. >> joe: he takes home his golden globes. >> laura: i have not seen "barbie" and -- thank you. set your dvr, and remember, jesse is next. >> jesse: welcome to "jesse watters primetime." tonight --

>> i find in life, you can't let people get away with -- >> jesse: nikki haley and independent factor, r.f.k. jr. is here. >> 10 million, 20 million, no. a billion? no, this is not about money, this is about our country. >> jesse: secret tapes expose who picks our politicians. >> must step in, that is why we have the voting rights act and civil rights act. >> jesse: relationship between biden and kamala turning frosty. plus -- [cheering] >> jesse: the general election started last night, trump versus biden. one woman is standing in the way, nikki haley. the revenge tour will make a slight detour through south

carolina. >> who the hell was the imposter on the stage before and like claimed victory? she did poorly actually, she had to win. the governor said she's going to win, she's going to win. i don't get too angry, i get even. the only person -- >> jesse: is this nikki haley movement or mirage? landed in third place with a caucus with a few thousand votes and won a small and moderate new england state, where she outspent trump 2-1. primetime is curious about nikki's army. >> why did you vote for nikki haley? >> it is a vote against donald trump, it would be better to have her against biden. >> are you independent, republican or democrat? who are you voting for? >> joe biden. >> who did you vote for and why? >> i voted for nikki haley, it

was strategic vote, i wouldn't vote for her in a general election, it helps diminish trump's influence. >> jesse: is nikki mirage sabotage? how much is for democrats and how much a vessel for never-trump republicans? i'm sure nikki has a small fraction of republicans, we won't know the truth for a month, nikki and trump will be getting licks in while biden hides and expands his war chest. it will be a messy month. what is nikki strategy? the theory is east coast king makers, queen makers rather, with deep pockets will finance nikki through super tuesday so nikki haley can leverage herself

on to the ticket. using blunt force trauma to the head to create republican party unity and tee up nikki haley for vp and potus in 28. this is a longshot for a lot of reasons, we get it, it is all mute if trump can blow nikki out in the palmetto state and voters get alligator arms. nikki loses her juice and limps into the convention as an insurance policy in case trump's court cases throw a curveball. here is trump's task. unite the party like in 2020, 94% of republicans turned out. biden about the same thing, 95% of democrats turned out then. a quarter of the country are independents. last time both biden and trump came to that election with equal bases, but biden won independence by 13 points and

that was the difference. trump has to unite his party with charm, muscle and an heir of inevitability and rally the independents. how does he do that? policy. trump dominates biden on every major policy issue, economy, immigration, crime, foreign policy. so if trump stays calm and stays on message, he wins because democrats won'ting talking about policy this election. it will be racism personality and dictatorship. >> we're naive to think he's tricking people to vote for him and surprise, a dictator, the end of elections, the sidelining or do do meft indicating of judicial and congress. the man in charge will get it done, that is what he's selling and they are eager to buy.

>> jesse: democrats have to save democracy by slaying the dictator by not campaigning for president. >> if i were biden, i would stay hidden and i'll tell you why. he doesn't inspire confidence. and he's not a great messenger for himself. something wrong with his campaign, we are expecting joe biden who hid during the last campaign to be flash gordon and save his own campaign. >> jesse: not only do they not want joe biden on the campaign trail or the debate stage. >> are they hiding in trenches? are they on the campaign trail? what will the campaign look like? will there be debates? >> that is open question. >> jesse: biden prosecutors and the press wage the campaign against trump. it requires hiding president

from the republic. we are looking at weakest president since carter. 10% of democrats will not vote for him under any circumstances. 40% of democrats say he is too old for a second tomorrow and majority of americans think he is mentally deefficient. we are stuck with the oldest and most unpopular president in history because he let obama pick his dei vice president, he can't pass the torch, he has to run again. by running again, i mean not running again. so will independent voters choose trump, the man who won't campaign or debate trump or another candidate? robert f kennedy jr. is an independent running for president and joins me now. what did you learn from new hampshire? >> i guess i -- one of the

messages is that nikki haley spent $31 million there and $37 million in iowa and did not perform that well. i think, you know, it seems what biden, president biden said last night that trump is the presumptive winner of the election, i think that is true. i think what you said is true, that president biden is not going to -- is probably not going to campaign that democrats are relying on court cases and to try to derail the election, to keep president trump off the ballot, that is a very bad strategy, it is bad for democracy. i think it is bad for the democratic party. it is bad for everybody. >> jesse: it sure is. he wouldn't debate you, looks

like he will not debate trump or campaign. where does that leave r.f.k. jr. in this mix here? >> well, you know, i'm already -- my favorability ratings are better than president trump or president biden. i am beating both president trump and president biden in all americans under 45 in the six battleground states and beating them across the country decisively with independent voters which are now the biggest party. this will be the first election in american history where independents are the biggest self-identified party. i'm gaining points about one point a month and i've got nine months and i have all i need to do is get 34 points to win the

election and i'm at 24 average in the battleground states. >> jesse: are you on the ballot in these battlegrounds? >> no, i'll be on the ballot in every state and district of columbia. we just completed sig nataries today, 5000 signatures in a single way, one day to qualify for new hampshire. i'm confident we'll be on the ballot and i think, jesse, we have two most unpopular people running in modern history and i think that americans deserve more than choosing lesser of two evils and if you talk to republicans or democrats, many of them say i'm not voting for president biden, i'm voting against president trump and vice versa and it is important for

our democracy that we have somebody who can inspire us and somebody that people actually like and want to vote for. >> jesse: actually like, imagine that. imagine a politician someone actually likes. that would be fun. all right, r.f.k. jr. says he will be on the ballot everywhere and it's a three-person race. we don't want to offend anybody. thanks, as always. if people want to know more go to kennedy24.com. thank you. >> jesse: thank you. secret tapes, allegations of senate bribery, straight ahead. like your workplace benefits and retirement savings. voya helps you choose the right amounts without over or under investing across all your benefits and savings options. so you can feel confident in your financial choices.

>> jesse: an alleged bribery

scandal is rocking washington, americans who pick our politicians. kari lake in arizona doesn't have a lot of friends in the donor class, made enemies in arizona and running against kyrsten sinema for u.s. senate seat there. not everybody wants her to run. a recording was made of a conversation between kari lake and chair of the arizona republican party. the chair of the party, jeff dewitt is relaying an offer to not run for senate in exchange for a cushy job. lake says she can't be bought, plain and simple. primetime has a copy of that tape, listen. >> there are very powerful people that want to keep you

out. >> i know they do. >> they are willing to put their money where their mouth is in a big way. so this conversation never happened. >> this is crazy, though, they should want me. i'm a great candidate, people love me. these people are corrupt. >> well, maybe you're right. >> what do they want? what do they want me to do? >> [indiscernible] -- what? i'll tell you what to offer you. what i got from back east was -- any companies out there that can put her on the payroll to keep her out? i said what do we want to do? >> i'm not willing to accept that, i will be the biggest -- in those people's -- i'm running. >> i'm willing to tell them that. >> they will have to -- kill me

to stop me. >> is there a number at which -- >> i can be bought? that is what it is about. >> take a pause for a couple years? >> no, uh-uh. no, 10 million, 20 million, 30 million, a billion? no. this is not about money, this is about our country. >> i wish you would give me a counter offer. give me a counter. >> i can't be bought. >> jesse: the chair you heard resigned today, dewitt said it wasn't a bribe, he was offering perspective and calling it a setup, accusing kari lake into blackmailing him into resigning or she would release more tapes. kari lake denies blackmails dewitt. politics is a dirty game, one

camp calls betrayal and one corruption. we are not here to sort that out, primetime is intrigued, when you pull the curtain back, men with money are pulling the strings and voters don't get a fair shot casting vote for their person of their choice. it is dark and slimy and unfortunately how d.c. rolls. you have to go along to get along in this business and that does not always serve the american people's interest. donald trump promised to lock in nomination by super tuesday and media is foaming at the mouth. he's popular and his policies are even more popular and media won't expose you to a popular politician with popular policies. >> former president trump giving second person in victory

celebration, bring in daniel dell, i heard two or three things need fact checking. >> the former president opened remarks by proclaiming falsehoods about previous elections, this makes it hard to take his pronouncements live. >> jesse: first iowa and now new hampshire. will not take the former president live, cnn interrupted historic acceptance speech because donald trump is boasting he won new hampshire three times when he only won it twice? so what. and voters need to be protected from the language? and media warning us that trump is dangerous and mentally deefficient. why? he said nikki when he meant nancy. it is fair to question his

mental acuity. >> donald trump ducked debates all primary cycle and he would be tested and fact checked and this race has only just begun, he has through this process been caught in a gaffe. >> jesse: oh, one gaffe? biden sees dead people on stage, thinks he is jewish, he gets lost, they give him picture of reporters to call on. >> we will teach donald trump a valuable lesson, don't mess with -- >> jesse: i have no idea what he just said. host of adam corrolashow joins us now. you will not hear from either candidate, one hides and the other gets censored. >> yeah, the reality is they turned donald trump into a

cartoon character and if they cover his speeches and his acceptance speeches, he becomes a human being. he is pretty endearing and fairly magnanimous in a lot of speeches and they don't want their audience to discover he is a human being because they want their audience to think of him as a bully and a big orange man. >> jesse: he was handing the microphone to a supporter and thanking them for being hard-working and helping deliver victory in new hampshire. you can't see that at cnn, that will humanize him and you can't humanize the monster. >> yeah, and they are pretty obsessed with fact checks, they don't want to hear about checks that came from ukraine to hunter biden. those checks, not so interested and i don't think hunter is a good name for that kid.

they should have called him gatherer. >> jesse: very good, they didn't get that one right. you are right, they would have to cut biden off every five seconds. my son wasn't in business with the chinese, i reduced debts. we wouldn't get through a speech, bringing out fact checkers. >> i find it rich rachel maddow and jake tapper, every single thing they said was a lie, ivermectin, horse -- worried about misinformation? >> jesse: russia, covid, the gatherer. new nickname, new name for nikki haley, nikki mirage and gatherer

>> jesse: texas governor greg abbott is upping thente, in his mexican standoff with joe biden. he is accusing the president of violating his oath and dereliction of duty and will use the full and total power of texas and the state is being invaded by a foreign power and will use any and all means necessary to defend themselves. bill melugin joins us.

>> bill: texas has a right to protect itself from invasion and abbotts biden -- the federal government broken the pact between the united states and the states. the visionaries who wrote the constitution foresaw states should not be left to mercy of a lawless president who does nothing. details on border security begin to leak that would allow crossings, texas senator cruzes initial details are unacceptable. >> this supplemental bill is a calma causy plane with no exit hadding for a train wreck. negotiating with chuck schumer on securing the border is like

>> jesse: bill, thanks so much. remember wanda, the stuffer who stuffed so many ballots they had to redo the election. they redid the election last night and her boss, mayor of bridgeport, won again. was it a clean fight? not exactly. the battle is fresh with new allegations of fraud, the campaign says gomes campaign pulled absentee ballot apoccasion, violated election law by distributing to campaign workers who were not authorized. a voter was issued an absentee ballot on the same day she died. >> jesse: dead people voting and ballot application given out like candy, harvesting?

it is so bad secretary of state said you are better voting in person. if absentee is not secure, get rid of drop boxes. bridgeport is so crooked, "new york times" admits it. headline, election fraud is rare except in bridgeport, connecticut. everybody knows about it, voters call them the absentee ballot queens. our local reporter went to see where they counted the ballots and the city did not want to talk. can you explain what happens in the count room? why don't you want to talk about how absentee ballots are counted? don't people deserve to know how the pros works? >> jesse: last year we told election officials to get it together by 2024 if they want a safe and secure election. if you look at bridgeport, not

>> jesse: when you're on a tiny island in middle of the pacific, last thing you want to see is a massive wave coming your way. that happened to u.s. soldiers at an army base on the marshall islands. a massive wave crashing through the dining hall. >> keep the door closed. keep the door closed. >> oh, my god, jake, are you okay? >> coming in. >> get out of here. >> jesse: the waves flooded a third of the iknow land, more than half of the base evacuated. no one was seriously hurt, it could take years to repair the

damage, we're praying for them. kamala has been busy, biden can't be. she sat down with katie couric. remember here? >> some people seem fixated on joe biden's age. i want to ask you -- >> because they have nothing to run on. >> they are running on. >> they could participate in fixing. no, really -- >> but -- >> they are running on immigration, they like having the problem so they have an issue. >> jesse: i thought katie couric was going to ask kamala what newspaper she reads. kamala says republicans want open borders? this is why white house keeps her on ice. new book says 10ing building between kamala and joe for three years. amateur hour, kamala harris in the white house by charlie

spiering digs deep and reveals joe biden is running because he and his close circle know kamala is not up for the job. the party brass do not believe kamala is loyal, she is too self-interested and biden team believes kamala is not a team player. she is too interested in her own political career to think about biden and always trying to write her own political narrative according to her rules. the writer says kamala is for kamala. describes after awful afghanistan withdrawal, kamala disappeared for several days and she hid in a separate room not wanting to be there for biden's moment of crisis. kamala barely suppressed disdain for the president.

the strained relationship goes back to the beginning. the book says biden did not want kamala for vp, he wanted gretchen whitmer, he got bullied to pick kamala harris by obama. jill biden said kamala could go f herself. kamala and jill have a rocky relationship. dougie fresh, he and dr. jill are on great terms and getting better. we didn't need to read how close they are. oh, and the white house thinks kamala is a cry baby. her thin-skinned outraged, perceived grievances, staff bullying and endless turnover. she's had 13 staff members leave since 2021, she goes after them

with criticism and urs curses like a sailor. a secret tape i want to hear. this checks out, kamala's favorite past time, turning her staff into the wikipedia. >> you are 5'2", is that correct? >> that is incorrect, 5'4" and a quarter. >> wikipediais wrong. >> i said this to my team, i don't know where it came from, they want to make us smaller in every way. >> jesse: charlie spiering is the author of amateur hour. tell us in one word what the reason between kamala and joe really is? >> pretty frosty. kamala has no interest in being buddies with jill, she wants to

be treated like the next president and jill is not interested in creating a sisterhood with kamala harris because everything she did against joe and the family. it is not a well matched thing right now. >> jesse: so barack obama tapped biden's vp. he did not choose his own vp, he wa wanted gretchen whitmer. what happened there 1234 >> he promised to pick a woman and obama pushed hard for kamala, urging biden to forget the insults during the campaign and get back together with a black woman on the ticket and kamala can bring us together. obama people say it was always joe's decision and obama had a heavy hand in getting joe to pick kamala. >> jesse: kamala turned into a coast, you are saying she hid in

a room? >> it is a combination of both things, biden team does not trust her to defend the president, that is what the vice president is supposed to do and kamala is not interested in propping up joe biden in times of crisis. she went to, staff told reporters she would be together with the president when he made that famous address after the botched withdrawal from afghanistan. she was not wanting to be part of this crisis. >> jesse: she went into a safe space. did this start off horrible or did they have silly lunches every wednesday and it dissipated after a couple months went by? >> yeah, biden wanted a buddy and true partner like he considered his relationship with obama, he wanted a buddy. kamala has no interest being a buddy, she wants to focus on her

future career. she tries to dodge tough assignments and flubs media interviews and top with the word salad, the biden team does not see her as a good asset across the board, they will let her play inner had safe space. >> jesse: there was an effort, maybe six or nine months ago, there was orchestrated effort to remove her from the ticket. you saw it in the press, saw people flirting with the idea, what was that process like? >> behind the scenes in washington, washington can be cruel and when you are found incompetent it turns on you and leaves you hanging in the wind. democrats don't want kamala on the ticket and you saw that among brave souls who tried to step up and say something. if you do, you are branded

sexist and racist, they are paralyzed and pulling for joe to make it across the finish line. >> jesse: joe doesn't think kamala has what it takes. what does kamala say about joe? >> she will show up and do bear minimum and if she wins she will be waiting for him to step down. few people think he can make it another four years and kamala is waiting it out. >> jesse: waiting it out until nature takes its course or until he gets reelectioned? >> if he is re-elected, she will be there waiting for him and his family to admit he doesn't have what it takes to get through another four years. imagine that case when biden and his team realize he can no longer go forward and what they are facing with the real possibility of president kamala

harris who never faced voters in her own presidential election. she could be next president of the united states. >> jesse: god bless. love seeing you, "amateur hour" is the name of the book. mine is coming out, you can preorder it, it is called "get it together," and check oud "amateur hour." first oranges and now women testing men with ketchup.

she is a terrible dancer. >> jesse: the pure clinton. >> lovely. >> jesse: the orange peel theory, now women are testing us men in a saucy new way. >> okay, try the tripping ketchup on the counter and see how my husband cleans it up. >> whoa. >> can you clean it up for me? >> why? >> what are you doing? you clean it up like normal. >> jesse: that is the ketchup challenge, test whether guys are willing to help with cleaning and chores. looks like he cleaned up poorly

so he is not asked to clean up again. >> i thought he did a good job. he scooped it up, he didn't have to grab a paper towel. this is the stupidest challenge ever. how idiotic tiktok is. >> jesse: why do you guys keep testing us, julie? >> i'm not testing you. if someone dumped ketchup in my face, i would not dance macarana, i would -- >> >> jesse: jason kelce. >> i said i'm taking my shirt off and jumping out.

she said, jason, don't you dare. i'm not asking for permission. be on your best behavior, we are meeting taylor. >> jesse: your boyfriend, significant other, he goes back and knocks back 40 miller lights and rips his shirt off. >> that would be the end. i enjoy being single, that is disgusting. he picked up little girl to show her taylor swift. his naked top belly hair. >> he has good strong hands, will not drop the kid. >> taylor got the better kelce. >> you are not into beer belly and chest hair? >> i'm not. >> what if he cleans up ketchup? >> nothing. >> what we learned is julie is single. that is the headline.

>> happily single, don't make me clean up after you. >> she's got rules. >> yeah. >> jesse: when i was researching my new book, which you can preorder, "get it together," we spoke to a woman who was a free-range parent. she raised her children with no rules, no bedtimes, they sleep in the same bed, no baby sitters, no diet. interesting parenting technique. fascinating chapter, we explore the personal lives, this behavior is making our lives les comfortable. let's do tests. john from rucksville, he recommended "first lie wins" many exciting twists and turns. i loved it, i will never recommend a bad book ever.
