"fox news primetime" have you seen this show? this week hosted by jesse watters starts right now. hi, jesse. >> jesse: hey, bret. thank you very much. good evening and welcome to prime. i'm jesse watters, putting constituents in danger isn't anything new but now they are taking to a whole new level. in a moment we have an exclusive interview with oakland police chief laron armstrong in charge of a police force that's trying to keep what the fbi calls the fifth most dangerous city in america safe.

not only is he battling a crime wave but he is also facing an incompetent city council that just slashed nearly $20 million from the police budget. seems like an odd move for a city that has seen homicides and carjackings nearly double since last year. luckily these numbers aren't real. according to city council member carol fite. it's just propaganda. >> so all the hysteria that's been going on through the media and through certain other channels is just that it's hysteria and propaganda. >> jesse: even if there was a crime surge wouldn't help they need to be nurtured. >> investing in policing will only continue to lock folks up but not give them the nurturing that they have never had. we're attempting to do that. and this budget does not even begin to crack the surface of what is needed to do that. >> jesse: just last night two armed robbers held up a tv news crew right in front of city hall

as they interviewed oakland's director of violence prevention. you can't make it up. unfortunately, the suspects got away before they could be taken in for nurturing. even though this is what some residents asked for as they marched to defund the police last summer, not everyone is on board. even in neighboring liberal mecca san francisco where new survey shows 70% of residents feel that the quality of life is on the decline. now, it's not clear if it's the crime surge, homeless encampments or high taxes that's making them feel that way, but clearly california is doing something wrong. joining me now exclusively oakland police chief laron armstrong. all right, chief, so four murders in 48 hours there. they are trying to slash your budget for, i think, 18 mil. it's going to cause slower 911 response times. less cops on the street. that's a criminal's dream. do you think the political leadership in oakland is dumb?

>> no, i don't call them dumb. there are people who believe that less resources and violence prevention will make the city safer but we clearly don't believe you need to reduce police forces in order to achieve safety. we believe that we need more resources to address the high spike in crime in the city of oakland and that's really what i have been asking for is more support and resources to address the serious issue we are facing here. >> jesse: you are being very diplomatic. i would not be that diplomatic. but i understand you have a job to do. when you hear this council member say that criminals need to be nurtured, do you think that's going to stop people from shooting each other in your city? >> no, i don't think that's what's going to stop people from shooting people in our city. i think that people who pick up guns and use them against other people in our community, they need to be arrested and held

accountable. i believe our community wants the same thing. when i travel throughout the city, everybody says to me they want to live in a safe community and with those that are picking up firearms and shooting them. they believe they should be arrested and held accountable. that's what we are seeking to do is make the city safer. >> jesse: i don't think the leadership there has any clue what they need to do. nikki fortando bass the city council president she is the one recklessly slashing your budget. do you think she actually cares if body bags are piling up in oakland or do you think as she said earlier it's a bunch of idealism and if you did come face-to-face with her, what would you tell her? >> well, i believe that these numbers that we see that continue to increase, they represent human beings. they represent people and thatdifficult for me to accept taking on new programs when we have a crisis on our hands. i would hope that we would all be able to come together and all

agree that reducing violent crime and making oakland safer should be all of our goals and to try to defund police in this moment at this time where we see homicides nearly double for the last year doesn't seem like it's the right thing to do. the numbers clearly suggest that there is a need for more. they clearly suggest it's an epidemic with gun violence and also is clear that we need these resources that she is taking away and giving to the department of violence prevention. >> jesse: just so everyone is clear and i don't want to make this political i know you have a very important job to do, city council in oakland controlled by democrats. is that correct? >> yes. >> jesse: okay. not republicans? because i just wanted to make that clear to the audience because the white house is saying that the republicans are defunding and it's actually the city councils dominated by democrats. all right, chief. i know you have got a lot on your plate and stop talking to me. go out there and keep fighting crime. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me.

>> jesse: also here tonight bob woodson, founder and president of the woodson center which has been considered an alternative to black lives matter. all right, take us into the liberal mindset. if you have black-on-black crime that's surging in streets that are controlled by democrats, the democrats do control these streets, political power is there. why doesn't the democratic party do something to stop black americans from hurting each other? >> i think that that this crisis, you know, goes beyond democrats and republicans but the fact of the matter is the people in power are really guilty of moral treason because the bulk of america, 82% of blacks polled support increased police. our group, mothers, black mothers, voices of black mothers united a group of 2,500 mothers

who have lost children to urban violence, they want this carnage stopped and they are against defunding the police. but they are also working with the police to improve. but the people advocating defund the police, they don't have to live with the consequence of their advocacy. >> jesse: so you are saying that political leadership in these major metropolitan areas are ignoring the black community who has been imploring them to send more police -- well trained police into their communities to reduce crime. do you think that when you hear and black americans hear the biden white house talk about guns or blame republicans for the crime surge how do you think that is playing? >> it's not playing very well. but, again, low income blacks who are in these toxic neighborhoods, they don't have a voice. with the woodson center does is giving them a voice. they are speaking out because

they -- again, the people who are sworn to protect them are not doing so. they use systemic racism to defect attention away from why are low income blacks suffering and dying in cities run by their own sneem if systemic racism that kamala harris and the president keeps talking about systemic racism, i don't know what that is? but if we continue to use that as an excuse for not providing adequate protection for our people, it's really a moral equivalent of i call it more treason. give me an old fashioned bigot. >> jesse: yeah. it's a dodge. because they don't have the tools or the mindset to actually reduce crime and help those black neighborhoods so they just play the race card to distract and divide. you have now 50 american cities, 22 of them have defunded the

police. bail reform on top of that soft d.a.'s soft on crime on top of that a crime wave has been triggered. take the politics out of it. bob. what is the root cause of this in terms of these people pulling the triggers all day if you could boil it down for us? >> it's really a lack of content and meaning. they don't value their own lives and, therefore, they will take it in upper income neighborhoods like silicon valley, suicide rate of six times the national average. and so, and then appear lash i can't, this prescription drugs is the biggest killer and in urban neighborhoods it's homicide. that's why the woodson center we are trying to take race off the table, jesse, so we can really understand and come to grips with this moral and spiritual free fall that we are in that is causing children to devalue their lives to the point where they will take their own or take

someone else's but answers too exist. we have created islands of excellence within some of these urban centers through the woodson center's violent free zones but no one will invest in it because the agents of change are not professionals and if no race involved but it's supporting indigenous leaders that have the trust and leaders of these young people so they can serve as surrogate parents and surrogate brothers and sisters. the answers exist, jesse. we just got to have the will to invest in it and it will not be looking outside for a fighting racism. that is not the answer. it's a deflection. >> jesse: well said and the woodson center everybody can go online and check that out. you have guys are doing fantastic work. thank you, as always, for coming on. we appreciate. >> it and thank you for having me. >> jesse: whatever you do, don't google the number of new covid cases this week. it might make you a little

18 million people. basically nil. but that isn't stopping its corrupt leaders from lighting their hair on fire over a new variant of the covid-19 virus the delta variant. i know it sounds scary. we're told this new varnt is ravaging the entire region. don't look at the numbers. just trust them. that's why they are now recommending everyone in l.a. put their masks back on despite cdc guidance saying they are not necessary anymore. illinois released similar guidance today. you might think this doesn't make any sense. but you would be wrong. it makes total sense once you realize that this new mandate what it's really about. this is not about keeping you safe. it's about satisfying their addiction to government control. they want to control your every move. so put your maverick on and don't ask any questions. otherwise, the delta variant will kill you and kill everybody

that you love. joining me now host of the next revolution steve milton. steve, i looked at some data today, l.a. county averaging five deaths a day. five. more people o.d. on fentanyl probably in a single day but they miss their mask, steve. what do you think this is all about. >> it's exactly what you said, jesse. it's lower than that the latest update is down to three. five in the whole state of california what they want is a permanent pandemic. that's what they want. because it gives them the opportunity exactly as you say to boss everyone around indefinitely. but the governor, gavin newsom, facing a recall. he still got emergency powers. he just renewed the emergency, he just said i'm going to keep the emergency even after he announced the reopening of the state by the way i'm reopening the state but it is still an emergency so i still have to have these powers to

unilaterally make all these decisions to micromanage your life. it is complete nonsense and, by the way, the masks we know that they made practically no difference anyway in the first place. so even on their own terms, you said quite rightly the cdc says if you have been vaccinated you don't need to wear a mask anymore. california has the highest rate. 41 million vaccines have been administered. 14 million people. the whole thing is so infuriating but also so predictable because it's an excuse, as you say, for endless micromanaging of our lives and that's what they love. >> jesse: the vaccines neutralize the new variant. fauci, you may have heard of him. he is on every tv show in america. he is on the air more than kilmeade. never turns down an interview. he even did "watters' world" last year. finally he turns down showing up on television when the republican house wants to talk about the origins of covid-19

likely from a lab. now, he has stage fright. not as tough as he presented himself, is he? >> yeah, he doesn't want to be challenged by anyone who actually has gone to the trouble at looking at the evidence that connects him there were experiments that he funded and he advocated and he went around the regulations that were put in place by the obama administration to be fair, and also by the trump administration, both administrations strict rules in place to stop the kind of research that fauci has long been the champion of. fauci went around those rules. put the money to the wuhan lab. they did the experiments. got paper trail. we know what they did with his money directly. you have the project numbers tracking it they made bat coronavirus transmissible through the air, more infectious to the human respiratory system. that is all documented and that connects it to him.

he doesn't want to answer any questions on that from anyone who actually know what is they are talking about and can put these points to him and challenge him and also say to him, hang on a second, you say that you have dedicated your life to fighting disease and why would you ever do such a thing? in 2011 as you reported, i have many others on this network at least, he wrote an editorial for "the washington post" saying that engineering a potentially dangerous virus in the la bore tore is a, quote, risk worth taking. he said that would he still say that now? we need to ask him. of course, he doesn't want to be asked because he has a guilty conscience. >> jesse: that is true. you have been covering it very aggressively on your weekend show. and we really appreciate that. steve hilton, everybody, thank you. >> great to see you, jesse. thank you. will. >> jesse: kamala harris has been in charge of our immigration crisis for a few months now. how is that going? we know white house insiders

humiliated by performance in mexico earlier this month where she rambled on about root causes at dismissed the tour of the border as nothing but a grand gesture. her handlers make a trip last friday after a bombshell report from cbs news claiming dozens of children locked in biden's cages had to be placed on suicide watch. they are reportedly so depressed border patrol agents have taken away all pens, pencils, nail clippers even those little wire nose clips from those n-95 masks. out of fear the migrants could use them to slash their own wrists. kamala harris knows all this or at least her press secretary claims she does. yet, she stood up in front of the cameras last week miles away from the actual border and said this. >> the president and i are absolutely committed to ensuring that our immigration system is orderly and humane. we are seeing here in el paso

unaccompanied minors who i spent ti with, who are filled with optimism but they are without their family. >> jesse: you got that little kids filled with suicide watch filled with optimism. never mind they are probably in straight jackets. kamala harris can't fix this crisis by ignoring it or lying about it. one reason president trump won the election in 2016 is because he was honest about what was happening onon t the border. and he offered a solution. joe biden, kamala harris just blew it up the second they sorority oath and tomorrow the 45th president will return to that region for a tour of the actual border so what should we expect? north carolina congressman madison cawthorn will also be there alongside president trump and he joins me now. all right, cawthorn, where are you guys going and what's on the agenda? >> well, jesse, currently we are right at the border as you can see behind me, this is a live

shot from the border. and what's going on is this is where the actual border crisis is happening. where kamala harris went is hundreds of mistles from where the actual border crisis is it's like if you went to chicago and said that you were trying to finish crime in new york city. el paso has a very limited illegal immigration because there is a well functioning border wall there. because there are a lot of border patrol agents. but in the area of southern texas that i am in right now, we are seeing thousands and thousands of migrants cross through this section every single day. >> jesse: so kids are so depressed they are trying to slash their wrists with anything they can get their hands on. they are having panic attacks. they are trying to escape from joe biden's cages. i don't see a.o.c. counsel with you. jill biden education expert. i don't see any democrats even acting like they care at all. do you think they do care about what's going on down there? >> oh, do they care about what's going on down here? no.

all the democrats care about is power. and they will say whatever they need to to be able to get that and so during the last election cycle, saying that there were children in changes was a convenient line for them to use. but now that there are actual children in cages. now that there are actually children who are in very inhumane circumstances who have to be put on suicide watch, they simply don't care. all they do care about is power. and when i say that they got rid of very, very humane and good policy, good humanitarian policy like the remain in mexico policy, the construction of the border wall, the ideas to actually keep people from migrating here and being subjected to the terrible sexual abuses that happens underneath the rein of the cartels. that was all under the trump administration and that was worth while and that protected people. as soon as joe biden and kamala harris got in power. they got rid of all of that right away and they shuttered our schools that they left our border wide open. >> jesse: so when you are there with entrepreneurship tomorrow. i'm sure there is going to be a few cameras, maybe some

reporters there following along. what kind of action do you expect from the media because it's going to be hostile. it's going to be boisterous. they are going to try to take attention away from the actual crisis that the white house triggered and put the focus back on former president donald trump. do you guys have a strategy to confront that because this thing, this whole trip will get spun hard. >> wait, jesse, are you telling me the mainstream media isn't going to paint news a rosy light? that's just terrible. i didn't expect that at all. >> jesse: i know. >> i will tell you right now when the leader of the republican study committee, the conservative caucus inside of the republican party in the house jim banks has more leadership n. and gumption than the actual commander-in-chief does to lead a caudill down here to see our border and see what's going on to see how to fix it when we take the majority back. they can try to spin this any

way they want. the american people are waking up to the fact that there is a dumpster fire of a policy going on down here at our southern border and the commander-in-chief is nowhere to be seen. i'm proud of president trump for coming down here so he can help lend a shining light what's going on. i'm excited for jim banks, myself and president trump to expose the exact inhumane practices that are happening here. show just how many thousands of illegal immigrants are passing through this section every single day and show how much of a failure the democratic policies are. >> jesse: good luck tomorrow and put some sunscreen on, congressman. thank you. >> thanks, brother. >> jesse: it's sort of shocking to see white house insiders actually suggest that kamala harris is a terrible vice president. what's more shocking, news today that suggests they might be trying to replace her. ♪

♪ >> jesse: has joe biden finally lost faith in his v.p. after

kamala harris botched nearly every project the president put on her plate, it appears the white house p.r. team is trying to turn the page, push kamala aside and beef up first lady jill biden wants profile. they coordinated a new puff piece published in vogue magazine today that claims, quote. role dr. biden is fulfilling is in many ways neither first lady nor professor but a key player in her husband's administration a west wing surrogate and policy advocate. couple this with reports that jill biden not joe or kamala will be religion the u.s. at the tokyo olympics. we have to ask, is she joe's new number two? here to react are former white house press secretary and host of outnumbered kayleigh mcenany as well as fox news contributor karl rove. all right, karl, i have picked up on this. it does look like they are trying to propel jill biden into a more senior role at the expense of kamala harris and you

can tell she is seething in the background. i don't know if you picked up on a photography last week they had a bunch of the players in that bipartisan budget deal go out to announce outside the white house. kamala is kind of lurking in the background not really there. just kind of lurking off camera. i don't know what's going on. what's your assessment? >> well, first of all, lots of first ladies get vogue articles and, let's remember, this is a vogue article. we are talking about new york fashion magazine so they generally do a nice story about the first lady. they do a really nice story about the first lady if she is a democratic first lady. >> jesse: right. >> this one is over the top. you know, jill biden's relationship to fashion seems to have been complicated by the pandemic. she looks like a virtual goddess another line. you know, the way she was received here was beyond touching. second of all, this writer injects himself into this story in weird, weird ways.

about 75% of the way through all of a sudden i talked to joe biden few times and went to the beach house in delaware and grand kids swirling around when someone hand me a cell phone joe wants to talk to you and subjected to several paragraphs. >> jesse: when i give interviews i always invite the reporter to my beach house. karl, you know, it's not just that though. kayleigh, it's now that they have this profile and they are making her out to be something more than your traditional first lady like some sort of policy wonk or power player and i just remember that photography when she was over in air force one flying over to europe and she is did he big desk and she is working and got all these notes while kamala is down in central america trying to figure out what the root causes are i can't help but think there has got to be some sort of jokeying for position here in the hierarchy of the white house. >> seems that way. an insider tip that picture that

was taken of joe biden on air force 1, that was at the president's desk. i can tell you the first lady melania trump never sat at the president's desk in his private cabin. that was shocking. in this article, yes, they describe her as the designated driver of that trillion dollars covid relief plan. i don't know why you need a designated driver. we should have a president who doesn't need that. who can control it himself. they also say she is in charge of reimagining education, whatever that means. we are doing a ton of reimagining well, you are right kamala is lurking in the background trying to remind joe to bring up the tragedy in florida at an event. he clearly has multiple handlers, kamala one, jill biden appears to be the second. >> jesse: they call her the designated driver dr. jill biden of the covid relief bill. >> of a portion of it yes, but, still. >> jesse: we don't want to disparage the president he is obviously the leader of the country but not so obviously. because of you have seen it he even says it himself i'm going to get in trouble if i stay and talk to the reporters. he is obviously highly scripted.

have you seen anything objectively that concerns you about his ability to really fulfill the role of commander-in-chief? >> no. but there is a danger in this article and it starts where you started this whole discussion. namely that she is a policy adviser. look, this is a danger for the biden white house. let's say that you want to have a full discussion of an issue, and you figure out that jill biden is on the opposite side of the issue, do you really want to be the person in the white house arguing against what the first lady is? >> jesse: never. >> that's why nancy reagan was sensitive about this. go read what she wrote about her concerns. barbara bush was concerned about it laura bush was concerned about it. hillary clinton was not. when i was at the white house, my office was formerly her office. she was the first first lady to have an office in the west wing as opposed to just the east wing. she had two offices. when she wanted to send a message if there is an issue that i'm concerned about, i'm going to be in my west wing office, which is big enough to have a conference table and have

12 or 13 people around the table so i can be heard with where i want to be on this. that was a problem for the clinton white house. talk to people that worked there. they were always concerned about getting on the wrong side of hillary. if this is true and i'm not certain it is, if it really is true that she is a presidential adviser taking the lead on the infrastructure, education, and public policy at large, that's a problem. >> jesse: maybe she can fix the border crisis. all right, and i guess, guys, the move, if you work at this white house, never disagree with the first lady. right? >> good advice. >> jesse: never disagree. all right, thank you, karl, kayleigh, thanks. next, what happens when you let people pick a gender out of a hat? well, you get scenes like this. >> it's okay for a man to go into the women's section, show his penis around other women's young little girls under age. your condone. that is that what you are saying? like i asked.

and changes in the culture about whether or not we accept the reality that people are male or female and that those biological distinctions are meaningful and significant. but it's a war on reality to be told that it doesn't matter if female only spaces are opened up to people who are not women. >> jesse: we don't know if this is some sort of stunt on behalf of the guy or the woman with the camera? we don't know. but, taking this aside, i'm pro-woman, mollie. i fought in the war on women. i have the scars to prove it and i have daughters. and if my daughters were in a spa getting ready for a massage and a person walked in there biologically male and just swaggered on through, i would assume that that would be a little disturbing. in that environment in a relaxing environment like that. is that wrong for people to say, wait a second, maybe this shouldn't be happening here and

we're not saying transgendered people or people like that shouldn't be able to get massages. but we're saying that, you know, maybe someone that is biologically male shouldn't just be able to just run naked through a all female dressing room. >> it's insanity, yes. women should have women only spaces. and it's important, you know, i noticed the woman said that young girls should not be seeing men genitalia but no woman should be subjected against her will to seeing male genital i can't. it's actually very important. it's important for both sexes to have single sex paces. and people a lot of what is being done, i think people want to accommodate people who are struggling with this issue. but what it does is redefines sex for everybody. and it affects everybody when you change the law or change words to mean things that they don't mean. and it might sound dramatic but these types of attacks on

reality can actually have horrific cobs sequences for the entire sizzles. civilization.the whole reason we because of the men and women get together and make babies. this is really important stuff. we need to have that reality and be comfortable with that reality and it's important that we not take that away or make that sound like something you can't say. if you can't acknowledge that truth. that is very dangerous for your ability to say anything for you to be a free people, for you to have civilization and so i applaud this woman for actually standing up for the reality and the truth that so many people who are in positions of power are afraid to say. >> jesse: we feel sorry for everybody involved in that situation. everybody on both sides and clearly that spa was not equipped to handle what happened there, that is for sure. mollie hemingway, check her out at the federalist. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> jesse: next, greg gutfeld goes on the clock and it's going to get personal.
