tech's biggest struggle yet. competition with china. tune in this sunday, "fox news sunday," martha mccall lem will be hosting this weekend. thank you for inviting us into your home tonight. thank you to to my staff for a very busy day with that interview. that was logistically challenging but happy to get to you. that is it for this "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid. "jesse watters primetime" starts now. hey, jesse. >> jesse: hey, bret. great interview with zelenskyy. >> bret: thanks. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: in the late 170s legendary rock band the eagles released one of music's all-time greatest albums. hotel california. it was a run away hit. topping the charts, winning all sorts of awards and producing a smash hit single with the same name. ♪ welcome to the hotel california ♪ such a lovely place.

♪ such a lovely place ♪ >> jesse: great song but ends with anonymous line. >> you can check out any time you want but you can never leave. >> jesse: you can never leave. well, i hate to rain on done henley's parade but people are bailing on california in record numbers. and why the sudden rush from the golden state? gas prices have a lot to do with it. look. i know gas prices are high everywhere, but they are not even close to what people are paying in liberal california. the state is closing in on $6 a gallon compared to 4.21 nationwide. and residents know exactly who to blame. >> californians are tired of high gas prices. families, single income households. everybody is dealing with it it's only the democrats that have done this with their policy. they talk about the green policy and why they don't want to be

drilling for oil. well, guess what? all the other countries are doing it. >> i blame the biden administration. the democrats for the high gas prices. i think we need to be more sufficient sufficient. >> jesse: i would be mad, too. if i live in california 5.88 per gallon in the golden state. only 3.76 in missouri. $2 a gallon less. so, if you got a 10-gallon tank in california, it's an extra 20 bucks to fill up. if you do that a couple of times a week, which they do, that adds up big to my knowledge. so let's talk about why prices are so high there. it's because of progressive policies. the state of california has high energy taxes already. but on top of that it requires the specialized gas blend meant to lower emissions. and it's very expensive. in 201, the price of gas in california really wasn't that much different than other parts of the united states.

about 30 cents more. nothing really to worry about. but, a year later, costs surged. in 2013, democrats decided to put in place a cap and trade program for refinery. and since the refiners were paying more because of cap and trade, they just passed the cost to consumers. that cost was an extra 25 cents a gallon. but, that was just the start. in 2015, the state added more regulation. making refiners use more biofuels, which added another 22 cents a gallon. and then, in 2017, california said we're not done yet, they added a 12 cents a gallon excise tax. it all makes sense now, doesn't it? democrats want high gas prices. democrats in california created higher gas prices with extra taxes and regulation. car and truck emissions going down in california? no. they are going up.

so high gas prices and cleaner fuel isn't saving the world like liberals promised. california drivers are paying over 70 cents in taxes per gallon on top of the other fees and getting nothing back for it. except traffic. plus, california's green dream is completely crushing the oil and gas industry. and its own citizens. it's forcing refineries to either shut down or just relocate out of state. the state is losing the ability to refine oil into gasoline. and that pushes prices even higher. even if the cost of oil comes down nationwide, this is a california problem. so as long as these policies stay in place, nothing is going to change. but, don't worry, california, gavin newsom, he feels your pain. he wants to give out $400 gas cards. sounds nice, doesn't it? where is the money coming from? not from the family vineyard.

instead, newsom is going to tax you more at the gas pump. and then give you back a tiny piece of it as a rebate. while asking you to say thank you, sir, may i have another? now, those of you watching at home might be asking why why care about what is happening in california? well, i will tell you why. if democrats get their way, all of america will soon look exactly like liberal california. the biden administration's talking points sound a lot like gavin newsom wrote them himself. >> we didn't anticipate that vladimir putin would wage war on ukraine and cause these markets to go out of control. we have got use this reason to become energy independent with clean energy. ultimately the best solution is to go clean and that's why the second part of what he announced was invoking the defense production act to help increase the building of batteries for electric vehicles in the united states.

>> jesse: how convenient, democrats have found a way to use the war in ukraine to push their clean energy agenda. you know what they say: democrats never let a crisis go waste. but they only way they can reach their green dreams is if you go along with it. they want us powering our homes with solar panels, cruising around in teslas, you know, practical things. joe says it's going to save you money. >> most important thing my plan will do right away is save your family money. here's what i mean. under my plan, which is before the congress now, we can take advantage of the next generation of electric vehicles that a typical driver will save about $80 a month from not having to pay gas at the pump. >> jesse: after you drop that 60 grand on brand new tesla, and a couple other grand to turn your garage into a power plant, you will be good to go. na. teslas won't solve all problems, joe. heck, he doesn't even drive one.

we need to wake up democrats from this green dream. we need to fight back. we need energy independence. if we continue down this path, we will be california where the gas in your tank costs more than the car you are driving. douglas murray is a national review institute fellow and a fox news contributor. so, you think this is going to happen here in the united states everything is going to look like california? we're going to be paying through the nose? >> that's right. what happened in california could be all of our future. it's just amazing, isn't it, the way the democrats do this. remember the beginning of the coronavirus, the democrats and the world economic forum and all these bodies said this is a great opportunity. this is a great opportunity to increase our reliance on green energy. now, russia invades ukraine, this is a great opportunity, guys, we could increase our reliance on green energy. how do they manage? you can do the same thing with a

virus. do the same thing with russia and ukraine. strangely it's all vindication of democrat policies of the kind that's rolled out in california. bret. >> jesse: they always sail the same thing these greedy oil companies. these profiteers. and they point to, you know, exxon mobil or something like that. how much is the ceo of exxon mobil making probably $20 million a your. do you know how much the ceo from amazon is making? he is making a quarter billion dollars a year. you don't hear about the amazon c oh. only the big oil cos you hear about. why is that? >> anti-capitalism underneath it. anti-capitalist and energy seen as being old energy and got to go forward, remember. we always got to go forward green. they mapped out the future. they have decided what the future has to be and everyone who is not on board with their vision of the future just has to be kemonized. dee dee monday nice the oil companies.

they demonize cars. why don't you drop 60 k on a tesla? turn your garage -- why don't you find yourself forever stopping in the middle of the road because you can't find a power socket for your car? what's the problem? >> jesse: they are saying also now in some of these crazy radical states in the west coast, they are not even going to let car dealers sell internal combustion engine vehicles in like 10 years or something like that. what do you think that is going to do? >> all of this is like -- it if it's as if they haven't forgotten they don't have the structure in place. >> jesse: walk everywhere. ride a bike. >> the future is walking. i mean, they don't have the infrastructure in place, the thing they are telling us 20 do. and this is why. whatever happens in the world they are going to blame it on. that was they are going to blame it on the virus. blame it on russia invading ukraine. the problem is their policy. the problem is democrat policies of the kind we have seen in california. they have been doing this for years in california. raising the prices. raising the taxes. and they still haven't nixed it.

so, why try to roll out nationwide something that hasn't worked in the one state you have been already been tries. >> jesse: if it doesn't work do it all over the country and that's the liberal logic. douglas murray, thank you so much. >> fox news alert, breaking news from will smith and this is big. also mel gibson goes one-on-one with "primetime." have you had any time to watch fox recently or have you been a little busy? ♪ ♪ lovely day hide my skin? not me. dupixent helps keep you one step ahead of eczema, with clearer skin and less itch. don't use if you're allergic to dupixent. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes, including blurred vision, joint aches and pain or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines

>> jesse: fox news alert. will smith just resigned from the academy of motion pictures art and sciences. this is coming after the actor released a statement just moments ago where he is

apologizing again to chris rock saying, quote: the list of those i have hurt is long and includes chris, his family. i am heart broken. i want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievement so i am resigning from membership in the academy. a huge migrant caravan broke through a police barricade in mexico and is heading straight for our border. [shouts] >> jesse: they heard about biden

ending another trump era policy and now heading straight into our policy title 42 put in place when covid kicked off to stop migrants from coming into the united states and spreading the vice. by dropping it biden is essentially admitting covid is over. so, why is he still asking for billions of dollars in more covid aid and why do we still have to wear masks when we fly and why do our children have to wear them in school? doesn't make any sense. biden saw russian troops amassing across the atlantic months before they went to war, but he doesn't see this caravan barreling towards our border? or is he just choosing to ignore it border agents are already spread thin. they are barrelly able to keep up with the all-time record surge of illegals were facing let alone an incoming caravan just this week texas officials busted 76 illegals being

smuggled inside a trailer on the texas border. the driver, honduran national with a very long rap sheet illegally, of course was arrested for human smuggling. also in possession of meth. so that's great. expect to see more people like this just pop up around the country as joe biden continues to tear apart our southern border. brandon judd, border patrol agent and national border patrol council president joins us now. do you think the administration is doing anything to get ahead of this caravan busting through barricades in mexico heading straight north? >> it has nothing to do with -- i know this administration is doing absolutely nothing to protect the borders, to protect our citizens. what you see right now is complete total chaos. when you saw when they busted through those barricades that is anything but peaceful. those individuals are coming up to our country and ultimately they are going to be released into our country after they

violate our laws. rewarded for violating our laws by this administration. >> can't joe call the president of mexico and say hey, he will presidente we got an issue in our country. you are a top trade partner. let's work this out because we can't have mass chaos on the border when the caravan arrives. it's not going to be good for you. it's not going to be good for me. let's get some fixed and quit. can he do that? >> absolutely. i'm going 25 years border patrol. and i saw one president that was willing to do something like that. that was president trump. and when he did that, we saw numbers drop exponentially. if president biden wanted to end this border security crisis. he could do it like a light switch. he could do it by putting requisite pressure on mexico. do it by reimplements policies by the way, jesse, it doesn't cost the taxpayer a penny if he does it by policy. we can in fact control the

border with the resources we have. we don't need more technology and manpower we need policy which doesn't cost the american taxpayer one cent. >> jesse: is he patting himself on the back for uniting 30 nato allies for protect the border of ukraine. he can't one ally to the south of us, mexico to stop this flow? and protect our border? it doesn't make sense. what would you do right away first thing if you were in charge with this caravan? >> the first thing i would do is reimplement the remain in mexico. even if he doesn't do that offer within his parameters, stop the catch and release. hold people in our custody here in the united states. putting deportation asylum proceedings. if he did that, people would stop coming. again, it's like a light switch. they will not get the cartels thousands of dollars smuggled united states if they know they are going to go back. the only people that are benefiting from this are illegal border crossers, the drug smugglers and the cartels,

billions of dollars our policy. it's policy that is alouing these people to generate the billions of dollars. >> yeah, the american workers are losing money with inflation. >> jesse: where are they saying after they see you long day of work what are they saying how do they feel? >> defeated. we all feel defeated. we all feel like this administration has waived waived the right flag of surrender. given everything over to organized crime. when we put on that uniform, we want to go out and protect the american public. we just don't feel like that's happening right now. we do day in and day out simply because we want some semblance of control of the border. we need an administration that's going to step up to the plate and do the right thing for the american public. >> jesse: all right. brandon judd. unbelievable situation down there. our hearts go out to you and keep up the great work.

>> thanks, jesse. >> jesse: congress can't get anything done. well, almost anything. the house did manage today to pass a bill to legalize weed. it's a good idea let's get the country high so they forget about all the record high inflation. will the open border and the war in ukraine. just smoke up, relax. everything is fine. getting stoned might not be democrats' only motivation for passing the bill. we are already seeing reports that congressional members have been buying up cannabis stocks for months before the vote. [laughter] and we are going to look into those members and bring that update to you guys on monday. up next, it is mayor pete's time to shine. he is just clawing his way over kamala harris' career. and, later, mel gibson's handlers didn't like when i asked the actor about that will smith slap.

>> well, i have always gone over and above the stringent ethical and legal requirements. >> given the reports [inaudible] media outlets join outlet. >> well, i have nothing again to announce about conversations or any future plans. >> jesse: maybe goodbye maybe she will circle back with them another time. it tells me though that hunter is about to be indicted. because she doesn't want to stick around and answer questions for that. perfect timing. the democrat party is a chicken with a head cut off. leaderless and torn in a million different directions frantically running in circles for the midterms. now, normally, the president is the head chicken. but joe is asleep at the wheel and kamala has chuckled her way into political irrelevant, basically. so if joe doesn't run again in

2024, who is the rightful heir for the democrat throne? new york magazine has an idea. pete buttigieg. who they claim is living his best life. they say mayor pete is washington's power broker thanks to his discretion over joe biden's massive infrastructure money. he is described as, quote: out front and unruffled. and the public faces a trillion dollars infrastructure package. and, get this: he is making his own soaring case sass especially liberalism packing a gymnasium like barack obama. did you guys hear that? mayor pete is basically barack obama and is he making lots of friends. new jersey governor had this to say about him. quote: my god it's night and day compared to his predecessor elaine chao. he is a guy who understands what it is like to be a chief executive.

wow, chief executive. basically begging us all to do a favor and run for president. but will he? the magazine answers that question, quote. buttigieg is reflective, if circumspect about his future. i don't know run for office ever again he says pausing carefully. he paused carefully. how should we read into that? maybe after pete reads this puff piece ned ryun is the founder of american majority. so this is so obvious. the press hates biden. they know is he a train wreck and kamala is toast. they have got to push pete and push him hard and fast. >> yeah. but the irony in my mind is little pete is basically the male version of kamala harris. vac could you say, unskilled, over his head.

secretary of transportation staging fake bike rides into the office and calling roads and bridges racist. maybe biggest triumph is being out for two months on paternity leave and they didn't know he was out of the building for the first month. this is somebody deeply unqualified. unserious. even biden in the 2020 primary said the mayor of south bend was reinviteddizing the sidewalk on south bend with decorative bricks. and here we have him thinking that he is going to run in 2024 as president which is he obviously angling to do. i was thinking can you imagine a head-to-head debate with kamala harris? a battle of word salads and a massacre of brain cells for everybody that's watching. >> jesse: he has got the juice because he has got that all that dough from the infrastructure dial. so if you are walking around the country or biking, however he wants to get around currency

democratic mayor governor or congressman or woman. >> you got it you got the it factor. do you think he is kind of like i wouldn't say bribing his way but do you think he might be kind of greasing his way to the nomination? >> i would say that he is greasing his way and buying a few favors that he might call n about two years. as he hopefully -- as he, he thinks, he is running for president. but, of course he is. that's one of the things that basically the unstated fact of that new yorker magazine article in which he is saying yeah, i have got a lot of money. phil murphy is delighted that he is receiving this money from mayor pete. so, of course he is. but, again, in my mind, jesse, on a serious note. mayor pete is really the face of what i call the credentialed idiocrasy, former mackenzie consultant. oxford degree with no real answer or solutions for the real world. and, yet, here he is being as a meaningful presidential

candidate in 2024. it does show you the sad state of the democratic party today. >> jesse: it does. the guy is really an empty suit. and he will be going up against an empty pant suit, kamala harris in a very brutal primary. i can't wait to watch. here is kamala's latest. i don't even know what. >> i am here because this is a community the mississippi delta that has a long history of being part of america's history, including having the needs that should be met. >> jesse: this is a community with a long history of being a part of american history. good, pretty good line. >> i feel like i'm being punked every time -- whether it was in jamaica, this. of course, there system other times i feel like we are being punked right here this can't be serious. but she keeps on doing it time

and time again. clearly, i mean, i honestly think the only reason that joe biden picked her is because clearly she is even dumber than is he and never, in any lifetime ever outshine joe biden which is saying something. >> jesse: we are going to be looking forward to a bruising primary. a lot of back stabbing. a lot of bribing and a lot of word salad. >> a lot of word salad. >> jesse: definitely going to eat our greens when they run against each other. all right, ned, thank you so much. >> thanks, jesse. >> jesse: so what does mel gibson say about the oscar slap? we asked him about that next. ♪ my name is douglas. i'm a writer/director and i'm still working. in the kind of work that i do, you are surrounded by people who are all younger than you. i had to get help somewhere along the line to stay competitive.

there is a lot of war and there is inflation but we are going to get through this. i watched your film this morning and i cried. and i'm not a cryer. it was a very powerful movie and tell me if i have it right that this is all about suffering and people suffer have a choice. they can either be angry or they can be grateful and if they are grateful then they can receive god's grace and that is what life is all about. did i get it? >> i think that's -- i think that's one of the main themes. there is other themes of course but that's pretty good. >> jesse: i feel like i passed the test here. >> oh, yeah. >> jesse: tell me about suffering. because that seems to be something everybody goes through, you, me, the american people. how do we process that? >> everybody has a bolder, man. and everybody -- they have got to drag something around. and of course something is going to come by and knock you down at some point in your life.

now, later. and how do you stand up from that? you know? and how do you not only stand up but find the purpose in that. there is a purpose for all of this. and so it's looking for that purpose. and i think, you know, if we're too self-involved, i think if your head is too big, put it that way, it's an easier target to get hit. and if your ego is not that healthy, if you actually realize there is something greater than you and find a little bit of humility, you are not going to get hit as hard even if you do get hit because you are going to realize that there is a purpose in it and you are not the most important thing in the world that and that there is a way to deal with that stuff. and almost be grateful for it so, you know, and one of the other things i think was in it was that it's never too late to fix stuff. >> jesse: yeah. >> you know, if there is something that you missed. i mean, i got nine kids, you know. and i haven't been a perfect

parent. but, you know, i have realized on a few occasions that you can kind of go back and fix stuff. if you missed it the first time around. you know. >> jesse: never too late to turn things around. that's what this film was about. this guy found himself and turned himself around one of the ways he did that was also by finding love. not just by finding god but through actual love. do you feel that when you do find that true love that is almost the same as finding god in the way that you submit and just open yourself up completely to that person? >> well, of course. i mean, you know, a real healthy faith comes from complete abandonment of self. which is very difficult for most of us. and, you know, some of us hang on, you know, i don't know if i have ever achieved that complete abandonment. maybe a few times in my life. but, you know, mr. ego is always

waiting there. i call him bjorne he is face down in the backyard and shovel a spoon full of dirt on him to keep him down there or come up and start wreaking havoc again. and then be bjorne again. >> jesse: i'm picturing you in the backyard with a shovel just smashing the bejesus out of bjourn. do you think the american people are very caught up in ego? the way that most people throughout the world aren't fixated on ourselves and just not really looking out for the rest of the country? we are all just wrapped up in what is going on in our own lives? do you feel that way? >> well, i think that's, you know, endemic to the entire world, you know. it's like not just us. but it's a human failing. you know.

and i don't think we have cornered the market on ego. but, hey, you know, it certainly is a problem. i think the sooner you realize there something bigger than all of us, the easier it's going to be in your life. as i say, hard jump to make for a lot of us even me and i kind of understand the process is jess you understand it probably better than a lot of people with your career and i was wondering if, you know, you had been the one that jumped up out of his seat and slapped chris rock, if you would have been treated the same way, mel. >> hello, jesse? thank you, that's our time. >> jesse: have you ever thought about that? >> thank you, jesse. that is our time. >> jesse: well, mel, thank you very much for joining "jesse watters primetime." really appreciate it april 13th the movie drops father stu. we really enjoyed it. >> thank you. >> jesse: speaking of action stars. we have a couple of our own here
