bravery and valor of those who fought iwo jima and if you ever get to see the memorial here, it's quite something. tomorrow on "special report" new fox poll numbers out on all kinds of things. thanks for inviting us into your home. that's it for "special report" fair balanced and still unafraid. "jesse watters primetime" is right now. hi, jesse. >> jesse: how are you doing, bret? thank you. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: i'm sure we all remember what it was like as a kid when your parents left you home alone. it's great. you are the king of the castle. in charge of cleaning your little siblings in line. your brother wants to jump on the bed, na na na, not on my watch. maybe your baby sister thinking about making a mess in the kitchen? no, no, no. not going to happen. everything is under control. until you step away for just a

moment. your siblings start fighting and bam they break mom's favorite lamp. you know the one. you try to fix it but it's completely shattered. and by the time your parents get home you are all in trouble. >> that's it, that's it. >> you two guys leave me no choice. >> television for a week. >> what? this house is a [bleep] prison. >> jesse: you didn't do anything wrong but now you're paying the price. doesn't sound fair, right? well, that's what's going on in eastern europe. halfway across the world russia and ukraine have started a brawl. but instead of breaking a lamp, they are going to break the economy. and like the responsible older brother, the american people have r. going to get punished for it and there's no place will be hit harder than at the gas pump. we showed you last night a gallon of gas is over $5 here in new york city. well over 100 bucks just to fill

up your suv. >> what do you think about these high gas prices? >> i think their ridiculous. >> it's horrible. 5.29 here. i can't afford that. >> how much does it cost to fill up your tank. >> my tank $80. >> over 100. >> $110. for regular. >> jesse: that's just getting started. yesterday, biden laid out a series of sanctions against russia sanctions are like mosquitoes in louisiana. they have always been there. the way of life. they deal with it. russia's ambassador to the u.s. summed it up best saying, quote i don't remember a single day when our country lived without any restrictions from the western world. we will learned to live under such conditions and not only to survive but also to develop our state. there is no doubt that the sanctions introduced against us will hit global financial and

energy markets. the united states will not be left out with its ordinary citizens feeling the consequences of the price increase in full. biden's sanctions are going to hurt americans more than russians. oil supply is already tight and russia a big exporter could just slow down the flow whenever it wants. how do we protect ourselves? "jesse watters primetime" has written an advice column and it's addressed to one person. joe biden. mr. president, suspend the federal gas tax. this would take the edge off immediately. don't wait until prices hit 4 bucks a gallon nationally. do it now. even democrats are calling for it. >> there are some of us that think we should suspend the federal gas tax. s that something i introduced last week. a temporary suspension. it's not perfect at least it would bring down the average gallon of gas for my constituents.

>> jesse: when jesse and democrats agree it's time to react. joe spent the last year destroying america's energy independence, making us more reliant on foreign nations like russia for our oil. president biden, you need to admit you made a mistake. i know you are not going to restart the keystone pipeline that's too big of an ask. last week you did something really dumb. you have to unfreeze the holds on new permits for oil and gas leases on federal land. i'm no energy expert, but that seems like a pretty stupid move in the middle of a gas crunch. instead, we have to kiss up to opec for our energy needs. biden just begged opec. begged to boost production. they just flipped him off. go back to opec, mr. president, threaten the sawed saudis, i don't care. what just get them pumping more oil. we basically pay for their security in that dessert. threaten to yank it. and get your energy secretary in gear. >> what is the granholm plan to

increase oil production in america? [laughter] >> that is hilarious. would that i had the magic wand on this. as you know, of course, oil is a global market. it is controlled by a cartel. that cartel is called opec and they made the decision that they were not going to increase beyond what they were already planning. >> jesse: have you seen an administration get pushed around by cartels like this one? in the mideast and in mexico? you said america is back. so act like it. we're sanctions russia so why not sanction the saudis or the mexicans? their cartels hurt americans much worse. but biden seems frozen in fear over this looming economic crisis. the dow's down 2,000 points in less than a week. biden, why don't you release oil from the strategic reserve? we're facing an actual

emergency, not like the political emergency you released for last year. it won't solve all our problems, but it will at least send a message to the american people that every cent counts. and you have our backs. the liberal media is pleading with joe to do something. watch. >> gas prices, they were already at 8-year high are now spiking. california yesterday hitting an all-time record nearly $5 a gallon. >> a crisis in europe has implications for everyone, john. it's a global market for energy. any supply disruption from fighting or sanctions could raise prices further. president biden pledged to use every tool to blunt gas price but he acknowledged they are coming. it's not just energy, food costs could also rise. >> jesse: she is right. not just gas. foot prices. your receipt at al pell bees is going to look like you ordered caviar. russia and ukraine are not the

world's gas station they are one of the globe's bread basket. corn, sun flower seed oil and wheat are some of the top exports. as thomasy points out the region is responsible for, are you ready? $700 million of fertilizer each year. that's a lot of important ingredients would could soon find ourself short on. a war in europe that would disrupted the food supply chain possibly sending commodity prices through the roof. experts are saying the fallout from europe could push inflation to 10%. it's already at 7%. maybe that's why in this recent a.p. poll only, are you ready? 26% of americans want the u.s. to have a major role in ukraine. that's a whopping 72% of us wanting to have a little minor role nor role at all. the american people know this isn't our fight. this is europe's fight. so why should would he be punished for their problems? aren't you sick of bailing out the europeans anyway?

i can already tell biden is going to start passing the blame. he will look to peg putin as the reason our economy craters, but joe is already doing a pretty good job ruining it himself. biden has plenty of tools left in his belt. he could have approved the israeli pipeline to europe. that cuts out russia. biden already withdrew his support for it earlier this year. are you ready? because he didn't want to anger russia. yeah, we wouldn't want to do that now, would we? he just can't wait for the problems to present themselves. we see the results of that today. the president has no vision and is wickedly stubborn and hates to correct his mistakes. the russia-ukraine conflict might be halfway around the world, but its problems are landing on our front door. here now senator lindsey graham, member of the judiciary committee. all right, senator, can you call

the white house and maybe get them a message about some of these things i'm advising him to do? >> i don't think anybody is at home. so, here's the deal. it's one thing to hurt putin and shutting down nord stream 2 hurts putin. it's a cash cow. a pipeline germany to russia. goes around ukraine. and it's a lot of money for putin and a lot of gas for the germans. i'm glad they're shutting the damn thing down but it doesn't help you here at home. do you know what would help the american people let's become energy independent again. why can't we open up keystone pipeline. let's have a vote in the united states senate and put democrats on record they want to keep the pipeline shut down. why can't we go back to aggressive fracking and un -- what you just said, limitations on exploring for oil and gas here at home. we are sitting on an abundance of american owned oil and gas and we should be exporting it for our purposes and henning our allies. we should be all-in with energy

independence but, no, we are getting our ass kicked overseas and biden is getting led around by his nose here at home by the left. we are not going to secure our border because it will piss off a.o.c. we are not going to drill oil and gas we own. putin is kicking his ass in the ukraine. i will tell you, this jesse. you are a good guy. if we get screwed over in ukraine the world and let putin get away with it, china is going into taiwan and iran is going to get a nuclear weapon. one thing does lead to the other. >> jesse: so what would you do right now if you were sitting in the white house you? are the commander-in-chief. senator lindsey graham looks like he is going in hard any day now. what are you doing? >> hire new people. i would open up keystone production tomorrow. >> jesse: in europe? >> in europe? what would i do? i would start exporting liquified natural gas from america to europe. i would tell the europeans that we're going to go after putin's assets. let's do something new.

the guy is the richest -- one of the richest people in the world because he steals the russian people blind. let's take his oligarchs. all of his buddies. take their rich apartments from them. sell their yachts and put them in jailing for being war profiteers. do you know what i would do if i were president of the united states i would declare putin an international war criminal he is invading a neighboring nation that signed an agreement with russia in 1994 to give their nuclear stockpile to ukraine with a promise they wouldn't get invaded. putin broke that promise and he needs to pay a price personally. i gold all in with energy independence. and i would kick our friends in the ass for not helping us in europe. >> jesse: now that sounds pretty tough. and i respect that opinion. how would you cool things down though? because seizing apartments and making international war criminal i feel like gas is probably going to hit $10 a gallon if you do something like that. >> you can't cool things down. >> jesse: keep things down keep

things cool state side? >> well, there is no way it disconnect us from -- this whole idea that what happens in europe doesn't matter to us, remember world war i and world war ii it's clear to me that putin is going after more than ukraine. the ukraine is a democracy. he is dismembering the democracy. is he going to take the entire country over. and china is watching what he is doing. and if taiwan falls, that's where all the chips in the world were pretty much made. china would own taiwan. the iranians i would spend three days in israel. they are worried to death that biden doesn't have the back bobby to stop the ayatollah who wants a nuclear bomb. he is a religious nazi. is he not getting a bomb to protect the iranian people. is he getting a bomb to enact his religious agenda which means to kill all the jews and the infidels. i don't know how to be nice about this. i don't know how much more we have to suffer as a nation and let bad guys kick us in the ass and lose control of our own den

destiny at home. i don't know of a nice way to stand up to thugs. >> jesse: last question real quick if he goes after a nato country, if do we send soldiers there and bail out estonia or lithuania or something like that. >> we better because we made a promise to all of our nato allies and an attack on one is an attack on all. i would like to remind you, my friend, after 9/11 article 5 was invoked for the first time in history and nato on our behalf. if you let putin get away with this and china get away with it and iran get away with it, you will be in a third world war and a bunch of radical islamists with nuclear weapons. that's why you need to control your border. remember world war ii. this didn't work out well then. it's not going to work out well now. i miss donald trump. if donald trump were president, none of this crap would be going on because you have got to be strock. when you are weak is when everything falls apart. and biden is weak and trump was strong. i hope we have another election soon. >> jesse: all right. senator lindsey graham. thank you so much for joining "jesse watters primetime." >> thank you.

>> jesse: fox news alert. looks like another trump investigation has just blown up. two prosecutors and the democrat d.a.'s office here in new york looking into trump's finances resigned. chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher is here with the latest. trace? >> trace: jesse, the manhattan'sd.a. two have resigne resignations are a very good indicator the case against donald trump is falling apart. primarily for three reasons. one, prosecutor carrie dunn has been closely involved in this case for years and his exit leaves a gapping hole in the

power to prosecute. then there is the grand jury which has not heard any evidence or witness testimony for more than a month. also the grand jury's term expires in april and there appears to be very little appetite to impanel a brand new grand jury and start from square one. finally far left manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, who was initially very aggressive with the case had recently indicated that he had doubts about this case moving forward analysts believe that's why the top prosecutors then called it quits. remember, this is all about looking into the business practices of former president donald trump, specifically whether he allegedly inflated the value of his assets to get better deals on bank loans. the former president's attorney issued a statement reading in part i believe they had a meeting and went through evidence and decided what i have been saying all along that there wasn't any evidence that donald trump individually did any wrong in this case. now, we should note that there is also a parallel investigation

into trump's business practices by new york state attorney general letitia james. she does not have the authority to charge mr. trump but she could go after him in civil court, meaning she could sue him, jesse. >> jesse: thank you so much, trace. we told you last week about hunter biden's baby momma, former stripper london roberts who just testified in front of a grand jury that's looking into the president's son who is under federal investigation for money laundering and evading taxes. turns out she wasn't the only ex of hunter to throw him under the bus. hunter's former girlfriend 28-year-old zoey committeeston better known on social media as quote weed shut 420 took the stand before a grand jury this week and was forced under oath to share some of hunter's dirtiest secrets according to her testimony she stayed at five star hotels all throughout 2018

flying coast to coast with each other. lavish trips to the four seasons, so who he grand and, of course, a full one month stay at the chateau in los angeles one f favorite hotels where he learned how to cook crack for the first time. he loved there. as comfortable there as joe is in delaware until the hotel staff caught him so zonked out they permanently banned him from ever stepping foot back on the property. but hunter was in love. and he was flashing cash all over this girl. keston testified he would give her his debit card and tell her to withdraw thousands of dollars at a time from the atm. she didn't know where the money was coming from but she did know that the money was endless. so, she would go out and blow all of it on clothes and food

and whatever else she had her eye on. it wasn't a bad gig for her, you know. she actually played the girlfriend role pretty well. zoey said she tried to get hunter off the crack and even suggested that he take up art as a hobby. turned out that was very good advice. hunter is now raking in cash for finger paintings all from anonymous buyers or so he claims they are anonymous. but like so many may to december relationships the biden keston love story came crashing down in 2019 when hunter got married to second wife alisa cohen and decided to ditch z oh she said it was super crazy and now she is talking to the feds. blackmailing biden with hunterrens dirty laundry? what do the russians have on hunter? what do the ukrainians have on hunter and what do the chinese have on hunter?

here now host of unfiltered on saturday nights. dan bongino those are legit questions are they not, can? >> i'm sorry i can't get past the weed shut 420. are there 420 other weed sluts? this is the craziest things. this is sad and insane. we are talking about the president of the united states' kid involved with these people. it just amazing. now, listen, yes, of course they are viable questions. i will never forget my prior line of work, right, traveling overseas a lot. you would have the sit down meeting with the regional security officer from the diplomatic security is office. nobody knows the better than him and they would sit you down and say listen, even in countries that weren't necessarily hostile they would say hey, dadio, let me lay this out for you, buddy.

there are probably cameras in every single room. they are watching you everywhere. they are watching everything they do. they will get your comm. talk 'your mouth over your face and make sure your phones are either burners or printed right so they can detect anything that printed on and went back. hunter was all over the place in all of these places in china and we know and i know from multiple sources if you know what i mean he was up to shady stuff in these countries. you ask a pretty good question. what is the blackmail file on hunter biden look like and what i don't get is i listened to your story before from trace, it's perfect. we have had everyone from the lone range tore wyatt erp investigating the trump family and trump kid, we found absolutely nothing but two fake impeachments and yet you have hunter leaving atlantas all over the known globe with information selling blow o. blow hole paintings and dating weed shut 420 and we can't find anything? come on is, this for real?

i feel like we are all being played for suckers here. >> jesse: i think if that file, the blackmail file is half as thick as what we think it is, then that has to have some influence on the president. and his dealings in ukraine. would they pay the biden family over a million dollars he was making, what 52 grand a month, his son? getting wires from moscow billionaires over there getting diamonds from the chinese communist. and you are saying that doesn't play at all into anything the president is doing as commander-in-chief? i mean, how could it not? how could it not, dan? >> i mean, jesse, the obvious thing is to say well, if it was donald trump, of course we would have our 15th impeachment by now. here's the thing. i even have evidence, right? he told our own peter doocy, joe biden, oh i knew nothing about my son's overseas business deal. jesse, we have the picture. it's all worn-out because i have used it on my shown a thousand

times. that's the picture of joe biden. i even circled him with a sharpy. that's not a halo, he is not a saint. that's my sharpy from my show. that's joe biden with hunter and his business partner. jesse, that's a picture. that's not photo shopped. little hunt photo shop in the show. here is another one. that's the receipt. that's the hunter biden receipt for the laptop, i mean, of course you are asking simple questions like he has already lied. we know he is the big guy, of course there is probably some tie to joe biden that they know about and want to make go away. >> jesse: dan, we have not seen yet the picture of joe biden with weed shut 420. >> maybe 421. i don't know. i don't know where 420 comes from. >> jesse: if that happens it's a whole new story. then it goes into clinton territory.

>> jesse: breaking news tonight it appears aoc has finally taken some advice from a very wise person, me. i have been saying for months, years even, the squad ringleader does a whole lot of nothing in congress. she literally has done nothing for her constituents. not a single one of her bills has become law. but now, it turns out, the democratic socialist seems to be turning things around. she is finally doing something. drum roll, please. aoc is trying to rename a post office in her district. it's not going very well though. guys and lesbians are not happy.

the post office is currently named after two historic gay icons. but still this is progress. aoc is actually working and doing something other than dunking her head in ice water so we should take this as a win. this week vladimir putin pulled the trigger and sent russian tanks into ukraine. biden warned them not to invade but doing it anyway. what was the response to slap sanctions on russia. >> i'm going to take robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions is targeted russian economy, not ours. >> these are some of the greatest sanctions if not the strongest that we have ever issued. and it will exact absolute harm to the russian economy and their government. >> jesse: turns out russia doesn't care about sanctions. that's been made crystal clear. last week the country's ambassador to sweden said we

don't give a bleep about sanctions. and yesterday, russia's ambassador to the united states said this: it is hard to imagine that there is a person in washington who expects russia to revise its foreign policy under a threat of restriction. basically the kremlin is saying what are you going to do make life tough in russia? so what's next? americans have no interest in sending our boys to eastern europe to fight russia. the pentagon press secretary john kirby says that's a real possibility. >> we're going to keep all options on the table. nighttime going to rule out that the secretary might want to consider that should there be a need. we did reposition inside europe and there are lots of options available to us to continue to look for ways to reinforce that eastern flank. >> jesse: what do we do? joining me now florida senator marco rubio. do you think that's really a consideration sending american soldiers to eastern europe to find a land war in the european

theater against nuclear armed russia? >> well, i don't think that with nato there and the thrust that he is going to move on baltic states which are probably the most vulnerable. that's probably too much to chew off at this time. i don't have a problem with some level of ramp up. we can't lose our focus on china. nato can take care of with some contribution from us can prevent this from going any further. we have got to remain focused on china. this is an important thing, you know, i think that china is watching this and if we live in a world where our country can decide hey, that land belongs to us and give you some two hour history lesson which a bunch of nonsense and then go in and take it, you know, you are going to see that happen in other places. i want to make one more point. one of the things that's happening here we have waged a war under the biden administration against oil and natural gas in the united states. we stopped producing it we have cracked down on it we are not going to do more of it what's happened is it has made russian oil and gas more valuable. given putin more leverage and actually left europe and the world and us more vulnerable. that's why the most important

sanctions we could impose right now to announce tonight joe biden should go on tv and say we are lifting all these silly green new deal restrictions and we are going to begin to produce oil and gas so thugs like vladimir putin don't get to hold entire continents hostage. >> jesse: senator, you speak to the american people right now. the president has not prepared the country what to expect if this starts ramping up and there is cyber and there is oil embargoes. what should the american people expect specifically if this thing goes sideways? >> all right. let me first tell you this because they're already trying to pivot this thing. inflation is already out of control. everything already costs too much. gas is already high. it's not because of ukraine. ukraine is happening now. it's already been high two, three, four weeks ago. it will get higher. the reason it will get higher russia has less competition from america and the global marketplace. i think you should expect higher energy prices that invasion with us cutting back on production has put us at that point. as far as cyber is concerned, yeah.

we are vulnerable. is he going to try to hit us there. we are probably going to hit him back. signer is a dangerous thing. we have never had a cyber war. there is no rules around it. it could rapidly escalate into something very serious and that's a factor in place. but i think, i hope, look, i hope we should help the people of ukraine fight him. they want to fight him. they are not asking us to go in and fight. let them -- they want to become a poor could you pine. let them try to swallow the poor could you pine. the invading is edie point. occupying a country doesn't want you there and willing to fight and ukrainians are with toiling fight. that's painful. we are too dependent on china for supply chain and dependent on china and the rest of the world for our energy. we need to produce more of our energy or we could be held hostage the way he is going to hold europe hostage. >> jesse: bleed them dry in ukraine that makes sense. marco rubio thank you for joining "jesse watters primetime." >> thank you. >> jesse: the cdc scandal is getting much, much bigger. vaccine lies. and covid cover-ups.

covid data from us. they hid information on boosters. it turns out for americans under 50 who are already vaxxed we didn't need the booster this fall. we were already perfectly protected. but they didn't release that data. they concealed it. so millions got a shot they didn't need so big pharma could get paid. they also buried all the data on covid infection and hospitalizations. broken down by age, race, and vax status. we could have judged who was getting sick and who wasn't. and who was getting infected after being vaxxed. they hid the break through cases too and they lied they said they weren't tracking that knowledge is power. and they didn't want us knowledgeable. when the "new york times" reached out for comments they said, you know, they had been slow to release all the data because, you know, they didn't think it was ready for prime time and because they didn't want americans to think the vaccine wasn't working.

well, it wasn't working the way they said it was supposed to work. they said you couldn't catch covid if you were vaxxed. that's why they pushed the mandates, remember? but that begs the question, do they have other data that isn't ready for prime time? what else are they lying about? the former national institutes of health director admitted the vaccine has some side effects that they didn't reveal to us. and they must know that america is one of seven countries in the entire world that masks kids in class, just seven. given the gravity of this you think the media would have had a field day with it, but they didn't. cnn gave it less than two minutes of coverage. msnbc mentioned it one, what about the networks? cbs news covered it and nbc gave it less than 20 seconds. but it makes sense, the cdc, big pharma and the media all have the same agenda, keep us in a

permanent pandemic for profit and for power. and they can't admit their corrupt motives now they are in too deep. joining me now hoover institution senior fellow dr. scott atlas. dr. atlas, do you see this scandal as i see it? this seems pretty horrible. >> well, it's absolutely horrible and frightening and it's really just a continuation of everything that i saw when i was in the white house myself. this is not new. it's just that finally others are discovering, finding this out. the cdc did the same thing with their really laughable stuff they put forward on masks. do you remember the two hairdresser study, so-called research was garbage. they put forward and really pseudo science trying to manipulate the public and trying to just push an agenda.

this is the politicization of what was the world's most respected public health agency. they have destroyed the trust we, regular people, put in them. the fact that i had lost trust in them when i saw it with their own eyes was gross incompetence. they didn't know what they were doing. this is not new to this cdc director by the way. this happened under the previous cdc director, remember holding up a mask and saying that this mask is better than any vaccine that this kind of hiding data, distorting date and it being politicized is now finally being revealed. people like me who are legitimate, objective reviewers of the data, we are forced to the look at other countries. it's sad to say but when i give talks on what the data is on the vaccine, i cite the data from israel, from denmark, from the u.k., because our data is simply not to be trusted because the

cdc is a politicized agenda driven, almost sort of a disgrace to the country. >> jesse: it's corrupt. and now everybody knows it and we're not going to about let them get away with it. dr. scott atlas, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> jesse: someone is shopping dirt on mayor pete. major corruption at play. and we have the dirt. and we have some suspects.

1-800-217-3217. that's 1-800-217-3217 ♪ >> jesse: if mayor pete wants to be president, he better watch out because the knives are already coming out. do you want to know how i know? because of this interesting report by the daily mail. apparently back in the day pete buttigieg was involved in what some might call a pay for play scheme. while he was mayor of south bend, indiana, pete's campaign took in over a quarter million bucks in donations and gifts. i wonder what those are from two dozen companies. those exact same companies were then awarded $33 million in city contracts, from the south bend board of public works which, you know, mayor pete appointed the members on that board. so why is this all being dug up

now? it happened years ago? it almost seems like someone is purposely going out of their way or her way to smear mayor pete, why? could it have something to do with 2024? it's no slam dunk if biden runs for re-election if he doesn't a slew of ambitious young democrats are waiting in the wings. pay for play pete certainly one of them. and if that's the case, someone, clearly sees him as a threat. someone who also wants joe's job. but who could that be? we don't know anybody in washington who would want the sabotage their friend, right? joining me now "fox & friends" co-host ainsley earhart. ainsley, this has kamala's fingerprints all over it. >> ainsley: wait a minute, jesse, i didn't think they were rivals. they denied that they're patting

themselves on the back and shaking hands and being friends and hugging. who knows it could be hillary clinton, too. because we have so many women in the field that want to run maybe against pete buttigieg or take over for joe biden. there is hillary clinton, there is klobuchar, there is kamala harris, pete buttigieg wants the position possibly in 2024 or 2028. why didn't this come out when he was running against all these other democrats? but, let me tell you what this is all about because it gets really convoluted if you read the daily mail's article. they have explosive charges. and, if this is true it could be extremely problematic and very serious for him going forward. the daily mail, as you were saying, they are accusing him of accepting $250,000 from all these big corporations and companies in donations and gifts when he was running for mayor. if you look at these papers, there are 23 companies on the list that received $33 million later once he was elected in city contracts. then, as you said, he appointed the public works committee. there were five people that sit

on that. the company out of that 23 on the list that gave the most money, he is the executive director of public works and they decide who gets these city contracts to fix the roads, to fix buildings and that kind of thing. let me give you an example. american structure point donated almost $36,000. they were awarded almost 18,000 in contracts, jesse. dod construction and its subsidiary donated 14,000. then awarded almost 900,000 in city contracts and daily mail is saying he was invited to the christmas party. he was invited to all these golf outings, he got gifts that included alcohol and cigars and two construction companies on this list. they gave him money. then that very same day that they gave the check, they received city contracts. one of them 600,000. another 400,000. >> jesse: the same day? what a coincidence, ainsley. >> ainsley: right? and when he was elected the mayor, he came up with a formal ethics code for all the city

workers, but it did not outlaw this in his city. so is he setting himself up for this? it seemed to be legal in south bend i know the fec says you cannot do this at the federal level. >> jesse: of course you can't. it's pay for play. if you thought the democrats had a shallow bench, i think it's getting a little bit shallower. thank you so much, ainsley, good reporting. >> ainsley: thanks, jesse have a good night. >> jesse: you too. a drunk democrat crashes a middle school sleep over and then it gets weird. plus, i'm reading your texts. ♪ ♪ ♪ my patients like these patches because they work for up to 12 hours, even on moderate pain. salonpas. it's good medicine listen, i'm done settling. because this is my secret. i put it on once, no more touch ups!
