this is "the washington post" going up to new york and sitting next to environmental protectiod about the news and covering the news and we went to work on our phones a busy news day we will be back here tomorrow. jesse on "primetime" starts right now. hey, jesse. >> jesse: hey, bret, thanks so much. ♪ >> jesse: a fox news alert. live look inside police headquarters in new york city where we are awaiting a press conference this manhunt underway across the city tonight for the guy who shot up a subway train in brooklyn in the middle of rush hour this morning. he dropped a smoke canister in the middle of a train before opening fire injuring at least 29 people. five of them now are in critical condition. we are learning that it could have been a lot worse. police later recovered a jammed

glock with two extended magazines at the scene. and new now, we are learning that the suspect may have left a credit card at the scene linked to a u-haul van with arizona plates. early this afternoon the police commissioner came out with details on the suspect. >> we will describe him as an individual. he is being reported as a male black approximately 5'5" with a heavy build. he was wearing a green construction type vest and a hooded sweatshirt. >> jesse: again, we will repeat it a black male approximately 5'5" with a heavy build. the suspect might be anywhere at this point. so these traits that new yorkers and everybody should know we should be keeping an eye out for. and it's the media's responsibility to keep the public informed with the facts. make sure all the details are out there. but that's not happening tonight. instead, the media is letting

political correctness get in the way. just take a look at how they are reporting on the suspect. abc calling him, quote a man wearing a green construction vest and a gray hooded sweatshirt with a heavy build and about 5'5". nbc saying he is a man believed to be about 5'5" and 180 pounds who was wearing a green construction vest during the attack and the "new york times" saying police were seeking a man with a heavy build who had been wearing a green construction vest and a gray sweatshirt. and here's nicolle wallace: >> they are looking for a man believed to be about 55180 pounds who wore green construction vest over a gray hooded sweatshirt during the attack. >> jesse: they are looking for a man 5'5" 180 who wore a green construction vest during the attack? they all mention he was wearing a costume which he probably already ditched.

but, notice, what all those descriptions have in common. somehow they all forgot to mention his race. how do you explain leaving out of the main identifying trait of a suspect who just shot up a subway full of commuters? besides being a man, not a woman, the race of the suspect is pretty significant in helping the public i.d. the guy and call the tip line. all these people ever talk about is race. and when it actually matters when there is a dangerous suspect on the loose? we need the public's help in apprehending, they just leave it out. the credit to cnn they actually mentioned his color but they were just a little more careful about it. >> got some very important things that we learned most importantly the suspect still at large described as a heavy set black gentleman approximately 5'5" inches. >> jesse: yeah, the guy is a

real gentleman. manhunt underway for a gentleman suspected of a shooting spree. probably superb, hair his teen. this is the coverage we get. reminds me of the suv that plowed through a waukesha christmas parade. or the fort hood shooter turned out to be just another disgruntled employee. not domestic terrorism just workplace violence. are you guys seeing a pattern here? depending on the suspect's race, terrorists are mass shooters can be gentleman. just mixed up in gun violence. mayor eric adams who just tested positive for covid, is so politically correct he stayed inside his apartment all day during a mass shooting. he didn't want to sneeze on anybody. he saved some lives today by quarantining but he did go on cnn from his living room or wherever and announce this was a terror attack and then said actually we have no idea what it

was. >> it's a preliminary investigation. this is terror of someone attempting to terrorize our system. they brought in what appears to be some form of smoke device. they discharged a weapon. and so i don't want to be premature in identifying that this was or was not. >> jesse: okay, so it's terror but it's too premature to say what it was. so enlightening. we do know the neighborhood where the subway stop is a heavily asian neighborhood as you can see from the video many of the people on the subway were asian and we don't know whether they were targeted because they were asian. if this was a hate crime situation. but we'll report what the facts are so the country can stay safe. a retired first grade nypd

detective. all right, harry, why do you think the media wouldn't identify the suspect by race when you have millions and millions of people wondering where the guy is and what he looks like so can call the nypd so the guy could get apprehended? >> well, jesse, thanks for having me on. listen, the main reason for that is that they are trying to be politically correct. let's say that, you know, when the -- before the van was ever found, somebody might have walked by it and saw a white guy walk out of that van. so if you saw a white guy walking out of that van would have thought nothing or anything. you know, if you say a black person was the perpetrator in this crime and he walked out of a van, maybe somebody would have saw something, able to call police. now we know on the street that, you know, you have got -- when you get the identity of a perpetrator, you need the race, height, and what they're wearing. all right? because so many different races in this country and so many

different razors in new york that a very important factor. that's just showing their bias. that's just clear. >> jesse: that's probably the main factor besides the gender. if it was -- >> sure. >> jesse: anything like that police, anybody needs to know what the guy is looking like in order to bring him. in let's go right now to this live press conference we're going to hear from the nypd and the mayor eric adams. ♪ ♪ >> working on audio. >> jesse: so they're having a little technical difficulty because as i mentioned the mayor, eric adams has tested positive for covid-19. so, he is going to be doing this press conference from his bedroom, his atrium, we assume it's from his apartment because he doesn't want to get anybody

sick with covid during a mass shooting here in new york and is keeping the city safe by doing that he says. so, when he does dial up, from quarantine, we will again, take you to the mayor's comments. and that right there is the new police chief and she will be, hopefully, bringing us some good news. can we have harry back? harry, can you hear me? >> yes. >> jesse: we have the mayor here, you know how this is. this is a big city. you got a shooting in a subway. people aren't going to take the subway after something like this for a long time. to have the mayor in quarantine at his little crash pad, wherever that is, does that send a message of strength and security to the city in a time like this? >> jesse, didn't he say that he was a tough guy? all right. when he was the police officer. you mean to tell me this guy, all right, he can't come out and talk to the people after an

incident like this hitting the subway? here's a mayor that was talking about how bad the crime rate was in new york city and especially in the subway. where were the transit police? all right? where were the transit police? they were supposed to be there. how come the transit police aren't down there? >> jesse: yeah. they are not down there at the height of rush hour and the suspect was able to get away. it's pretty amazing. let's go to the commissioner here in new york. ♪ >> process the crime scene, they recovered a 9-millimeter semiautomatic handgun, extended magazines and a hatchet. also found is a liquid we believe to be gasoline and a bag containing consumer grade fireworks and a hobby fuse. about an hour ago detectives located a u-haul van in brooklyn that we believe is connected to the suspect. at this time we still do not know the suspect motivation. clearly, this individual boarded the train and was intent on

violence. we are conducting a highly coordinated investigation that includes nypd detectives, the fbi, nypd joint terrorism task force and the atf who have been instrumental in tracing the firearm and about ballistics the suspect is a dark skinned male and wearing a knee on orange vest and a gray colored sweatshirt. we do have a person of interest in this investigation. but we need the public assistance with additional information. we are asking anyone with information to call crime stoppers at 800-577-tips. we know this incident is of grave concern to new yorkers. we cannot lose sight of victims in this city. we will use every resource we can to bring those to justice who continue to prey on the citizens of new york. i will ask chief james to come and give details of the investigation.

>> good evening, everybody. today at 8:24 a.m., upon a manhattan bound m train, 10 people were shot. seven males, three females and they were removed to area hospitals. an additional 13 people suffered injuries related to smoke inhalation, falling down, or a panic attack. the information i'm about to give you is preliminary and it's subject to change right now. at that m train was between stations 59th street and the 36 street stations. seated in the second car, in the rear corner was a dark-skinned male. various descriptions of his height are given. he is heavy set wearing an orange-green nylon type construction vest. he also had on a gray hoodie, a surgical mask and a knee on

green construction helmet. as the train approached the 36th street station, witnesses state the male opened up two smoke grenades, towered them on the subway floor, brand dishes a glock 9-millimeter handgun. he then fired that weapon at least 33 times striking 10 people. the male then fled the scene and detectives are actively trying to determine his whereabouts. recovered at that scene was a glock 17, 9-millimeter handgun. three extended glock-type magazines. one was still in the weapon, one under a seat, and one in the backpack. we had 33 discharged shell casings. 15 bullets, 5 bullet fragments, two detonated smoke grenades. two non-detonated smoke

grenades. a hatchet. a black garbage can, a black type rolling cart. gasoline and a u-haul key. the u-haul key at the scene led us to the recovery of a u-haul van a short while ago in brooklyn. the male who we believe is the renter of this u-haul in philadelphia is a frank r. james, male, 62 years old, with addresses in wisconsin and philadelphia. we are endeavoring to locate him to determine his connection to the subway shooting, if any. the two crime scenes, the subway and the van are very active and are still being processed. we are asking for anyone's help with information. cell phone video, witness information, or if they can

identify the perpetrator or the renter of this vehicle to call crime stoppers at 1-800-577-tips. there's a $50,000 reward out right now, 25,000 from the new york city police foundation, 12,500 from the mta and 12,500 from the twa local 100. i just want to assure everyone that we in the nypd have all our resources working this along with our partners in the fbi and the atf to find this perpetrator. with that, i would like to turn it over to mike driscoll. >> we are going to go back to the mayor. >> okay. >> >> mr. mayor, we are ready for you. j. >> thank you, commissioner and

chief. as we indicated today was a difficult day for new york. days like these are playing out too often in cities across america. as mentioned this morning, we witnessed an active violence in the heart of brooklyn where a shooter attacked subway car innocent people at the 36th street station. [inaudible] m train into a war zone smoke bomb detonated and multiple shots rang out. we witnessed 20 individuals injured as mentioned. thanks to the quick thinking of mta crew and brave cooperation of passengers. >> jesse: we are hearing the mayor adams now broadcast from his apartment where is he quarantining for covid-19 during a mass shooting here in manhattan in new york. so here's what we know so far from this update from the commissioner, there was a glock

9-millimeter recovered at the scene, a handgun, two extended mags, hatchet and gasoline. they don't know the motivation of the suspect. obviously it was premeditated but the feds are now involved. they have changed the description the suspect from black male, which was said on a few occasions this morning by police and the mayor to now a dark-skinned male. we don't know why that description has changed but it is now a dark-skinned male that is the identifying skin color of the suspect. and frank james, that name is connected somehow to this u-haul, this rental out of philadelphia. we don't know if this frank james is the suspect or is just connected to the suspicious u-haul that they have recovered.

so, again, that is the -- those are the facts as we know them. and let's go back and listen again to the mayor, mayor adams. >> schools columbine, shood in virginia to music festivals in las vegas, to night clubs in orlando, to movie theaters and yoga classes across the nation. these killers have used weapons of mass destruction to massacre innocent people. they control no armies or military forces. yet, these individuals terrorize our nation. i have long since said that this city is not going to adapt to dysfunction. anti-gun violence means changing gun laws. we cannot clean up a flood when the water is still pouring into the basement. we can never stop the killing if we cannot stop the guns. to be clear, we will not submit

our city to the violent few and not [inaudible] all of america to this culture of death. we must dam every river that sees the greater crisis. that is the work of my life. this administration, and this police department. i will not stop until the peace we deserve [inaudible] as a former police officer, a fellow new yorker, and your mayor, that we will end this epidemic and that will capture the individual responsible for today's attack. we will capture him and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. thank you fdny. our first responders collaboration from the federal government, city agencies. >> thank you, mr. mayor. >> i would like to turn it over to assistant special agent in charge of the fbi new york office michael driscoll. >> thank you, commissioner.

i want to start by expressing our hopes and prayers that the victims of this event will enjoy a quick recovery. they're our primary focus right now. i also want to echo the thanks for the partnership to the nypd, the atf and all the partners contribute dog this investigation. right now the fbi and nypd joint terrorism task force is fully engaged with this investigation, providing assistance through manpower, technical assistance and basically everything we can throw at it. we expect the process to be a long one as we gather all possible information to track down all possible leads. and i would encourage you as was mentioned earlier to please reach out to the nypd tip line at 1-800-577 tips. i would also add as frequently the case many of our current investigations, everyone has got a cell phone in their pocket. there is a lot of video out there. if you have digital information that you would like to share with us in connection with this

investigation, please visit fbi.gov/brooklyn shooting where you can upload that information. so, we are seeking the public's help. you heard mention before of a name of possible interest. videos would be particularly helpful or any other additional witnesses who have yet to come forward to provide information that might help this investigation. so thanks for your participation and i thank everyone for their partnership in the course ever the investigation. thank you. >> we will take a couple questions. >> mr. driscoll police say he fled on foot after abandoning the van. >> we are not sure where he went at this point. subject to investigation. we have a number of resources combing on foot and doing video canvass as well to determine where he went. >> i'm sorry. >> videos online talking about victims mental health program. can you tell us about. this based on preliminary information, there are some

postings possibly connected to our person of interest where he mentions homelessness. he mentions new york and he does mention mayor adams and as a result of that an abundance of caution we are going to tighten the mayor's security detail. [inaudible] >> we have no one in custody at this time. no. we are looking for frank james. we know he rented this u-haul van. the key of that u-haul van was found at the crime scene in the subway. >> mr. james [inaudible] >> we're pouring through that but, yes, correct. [inaudible] >> we are looking to determine if he has any connection to the train. we know mr. james rented that u-haul truck in philadelphia.

[inaudible] >> so we are not calling them threats. he made some concerning posts or someone made some concerning posts. we cannot contribute to that individual yet. under an abundance of caution we are going to tighten the mayor's security detail. [inaudible] >> that is subject to investigation. we don't have that information yet. >> does he have a criminal record? >> [inaudible] >> mr. james is just a person of interest. we know right now who rented that u-haul van in philadelphia. the keys to that u-haul van were found in the subway in our shooter's possession. we don't know right now if mr. james has any connection to the subway. that's still under investigation.

>> [inaudible] >> the crime scene is still being processed now. the van is being processed and the subway is being processed. but it's too early right now to tell. can you explain where this u-haul was located? was it nearby? [inaudible] investigating videos but can you confirm [inaudible] video? >> the video, the youtube videos? there is a man who posted frank james we're still working to see if that's our person who rented the video. >> where. >> kings highway. 30 west fourth and kings highway. >> is there anything more you can tell us [inaudible] direct threat to the mayor?

[inaudible] security detail? >> there were general topics of concern and i don't want to go into too many details about the mayor's security detail we are just doing it to be on the safe side. [inaudible] >> complaints about homelessness and complaints about new york. nothing in general. i'm sorry, just general comments that caused concern subject to investigation at this point. >> why would were there no working surveillance in the. how much does [inaudible] hamper this investigation? >> we know that there were three stations that the video wasn't working. we're still investigating that to see why or how those -- what those mechanical problem, electrical issues why those videos weren't up. [inaudible] >> there was no issues with police radios. >> first responders on the scene said the radio wasn't working

[inaudible] told teenager to call 9911. >> [inaudible] top side station they have to freak frequency uhs to vhf. if they didn't switch over they would not be able to transmit in the subway system. it's a user area not a problem with the actual radio. >> how many officers were assigned to this 36th street station and were there any officers in the station at all. >> we don't typically assign officers to subware stations. they patrol. ride trains come out patrol the stations. patrol officers from the precinct go down and do station inspections. we have been doing that since january that station was patrolled several times today. there were no officers present in the station at the time of the shooting but it had been patrolled several times on this calendar date prior to the shooting in the early mornings

hours. >> what do you know about mr. james and his local ties to new york city? >> we know mr. james has addresses in wisconsin and philadelphia. as far as new york, he is still under investigation. but he is just a person of interest right now in this case. [inaudible] >> we know the shooter was -- entered the station on king's highway. we are asking for anybody who knows from king's highway to 35th street stops. anybody who sees him with any information please call crime stoppers. [inaudible] video at all? >> we literally have hundreds of detectives out in the field right now pouring through video at train stations, the egresses. the recovery sites of the vehicle. so, we hope to have clearer

pictures of who we believe is the shooter. >> [inaudible] cnn about the weapon that was recovered, has that been traced back to mr. james at all and is there any [inaudible] >> that's as far as pulling the trigger that's still under investigation as far as the firearm is concerned. we know it's not [inaudible] we know it's not stolen. we are working with our partners in the atf to track back to the point of sale and move forward on that. >> last question. >> public description of james match the description that's already been put out today? >> again, as i said, there was two smoke gren nadz thrown. we have various descriptions of height. i gave the description of the man with the vest. we are looking through all possible leads on a person of interest. >> [inaudible] all right. thank you very much.

>> thank you, everyone. >> jesse: all right. so we did learn a few new things there. frank james, person of interest, age 62. so, they found the key to the u-haul at the crime scene. and he is connected to the u-haul. and the u-haul was parked right outside of that subway station. so, they are saying he is a person of interest, i know we shouldn't assume this, but seems like they are saying he was the shooter. we can't say that but that's what i'm assuming. he has addresses in philadelphia and wisconsin. he drove the van from philadelphia and he has made some concerning posts on social media about mayor eric adams and about homelessness and just some complaints about new york.

and because of that, they have under the security here at -- for the mayor who is in quarantine because of covid-19. all right. let's bring back harry, retired first grade nypd detective. what strikes you from the information we just got there? >> well, jesse, you know, from the beginning they stated that they had known exactly the way the shooter had entered the subway. how could they have not known that before they had this picture? well, i think what happened was there was probably some type of video, you know, showing the shooter coming into the subway and then when they finally got a picture of this mr. james, compared that, and i think they have got their guy. but we wouldn't know 100 percent sure. the fact that, you know, they had found the vehicle. he dropped the keys. i have had cases where bad guys actually drop stuff by mistake and easily identified after

that. there is a possibility that this gentleman or this person of interest rented the vehicle for somebody else. that's a possibility. if so, then mr. james knows he has been on tv, and should be calling the police or the fbi to talk to them right away and say, listen, i rented this vehicle for somebody and this is the name of the guy. so if we don't hear from this guy in the next couple of minutes, i think we got our guy. but there is a possibility we might not. >> jesse: all right. i would agree with that thank you, harry hauck. author of prepared not scared. you have been watching the nypd briefing and the mayor. your thoughts so far? >> i concur with you and our esteemed first grade detective. my guest is there will be a call made within 24 to 48 hours. if they don't get this frank james on the phone now, that

tells me is kind of sort of complicit if not the actual shooter because america is now -- anybody who knows this guy is dialing him up and saying get to the police right now. if he is not in contact with the law enforcement right now. i'm looking at him long and hard. and now with the cyber crimes division, they are up in his facebook, twitter, everything, friends of. and this is where cyber really is our friend. >> jesse: yeah. you could call facebook up or twitter if they cooperate. >> if they cooperate. >> jesse: and then you could get a location on this gentleman as cnn likes to call him. all right. if you're in a situation like this and you are coming to work and it's 8:30 in the morning and you are on a packed subway train and all of a sudden you hear gunshots like this, what do you do? >> okay. this is where i like to say complain sensei is our enemy because every day we go through life.

you hear shots go off and you have all that engaged, you are taking that much longer of a beat to get situated. have that situational awareness, disengage from the cyber world when you are traveling to work and get into the real world. have your head on a swivel. i park my car to come in this building i'm looking left and right and looking all around. you hear those shots, don't be a bystander. don't look to be a junior reporter. get out of doj. take that minute, know where your exits are. and then don't necessarily go with the crowd. go where you think you're going to be safe. >> jesse: you hear reports the gun jammed. when you are aware of that, potential, do you now run for the exits? do you stay down? do you try to be a hero? what's the move there? >> well, i'm never going to tell anybody when it's your individual life on the line, you need to know your capabilities. you and i, jesse, we see that guy 5 feet from us, i'm going to say you take him low i will take

him high and let's take this guy down. if you are an elderly person and you have a child and you can't travel with that child you may want to get behind a garbage pail a column to secure in place. if you see that exit and you see it wide open you take it and you run. >> jesse: well, i think bill, you are going to go low and i'm going to go high how does that sound? >> i'm for that. >> jesse: thank you very much. >> thank you. >> jesse: from crime to covid to climate change, the so-called experts can't get anything right. that is next. auto ♪ no way ♪ ♪ walking on the moon ♪

nic. my three brothers are mechanics. >> jesse: experts are supposed to have all the answers. but what we're finding out today is that experts have a lot to say but most of it is wrong. let's look at inflation. the experts said this was a transitory phase. >> supply developed that has caused inflation. i believe that they are transitory. >> this is something that will settle down. >> transitory. >> transitory secrecy jess that woman is the secretary of the treasury. and she blew it. inflation has skyrocketed to a 40-year high. how could the experts not see this coming? they pumped out trillions in covid relief, the largest flood of federal money in world history. not to mention the fauci lockdowns wrecked the supply chain. experts told us it was a good idea because lockdowns save lives.

>> the fact that we shut down when we did and the rest of the world did has saved hundreds of millions of infections and millions of lives. >> jesse: because of the experts we locked down, people lost their jobs, their small businesses, kids suffered and inflation build up. all for nothing. john hopkins study found lockdowns had little to know effect on covid deaths. where could the experts have gotten this stupid lockdown idea from? china, of course. >> the chinese government is to be congratulated for the extraordinary measures it has taken to contain the outbreak. we would have seen 78 more cases outside china by now. if it were not for the government's efforts. china is actually setting a new

standard for outbreak response. >> jesse: what a good idea. let's take lockdown advice from the people who unleashed the virus on us and then lied about it. trusted the chinese with our lives. the chinese down played the death toll, secretly cremating countless of their own citizens so the rest of the world wouldn't realize that the lockdowns don't work. what are they up to now? locking down with military force a city of 25 million people. in shanghai they are running out of food. citizens are locked in their apartments screaming for help. as little robot dogs and drones patrol the street, warning citizens to stay inside. or else. theses are the people our experts took advice from. and they praised governors like cuomo and newsom for playing along. but when ron desantis decided to think for himself and use common

sense, the expert said he was a murderer. wrong again. turns out florida handled covid the best. while the states that listenerred to the experts did the worse. liberal states have been listening to experts for a long time and it's turned out horribly. look at the homeless crisis in california. for years, experts came up with this failed idea after failed idea to solve the problem wasting billions of taxpayer dollars. what is listening to experts getting them? well, at least 160,000 homeless and tent cities across the states state. their latest bright idea has l.a. spending more than 800 grand per homeless person. you could buy each homeless guy a four bedroom house with a pool for that kind of money. nowhere though have experts been more wrong than on climate change. since the 1970s, experts have been telling us we are just a couple years away from

extinction. in 1967, experts predicted a dire famine was coming in 1975. and it was too late to avoid it. i wasn't even born yet, but i think i would have read about the famine of '75. in 1971, experts told "the washington post" that a new ice age would be here in the next 50 years. well, it's 51 years later and 6. in 198 #, experts at the u.n. washed that rising seas would obliterate nations if global warming wasn't reversed by the year 2,000 and in 2004, the experts at the pentagon told bush that climate change will destroy us. it's a bigger threat than terrorism and that britain would feel like siberia by 2020. all wrong. we can't trust these people anymore. we need to do our own research. we have to use common sense. stop trusting what the experts

say because someone who has a master's degree doesn't mean they know everything. or anything for that matter. the media throws around the term expert to give whatever narrative they are trying to sell some weight. saying the world is going to end is a pretty juicy headline. so they call up an expert, who they know is going to give them the quote they want. they throw it in the article and have a great story. verified by the experts. elena johnson is the editor and chief of the washington free beacon. elena, i don't want to tell people not to listen to experts because i'm sure there is a very smart experts out there who have very great degrees. but i mean this is a bad, bad track record. don't you think the american people need to think before they listen to these fools? >> i'm with you, jesse. the founder of national review, the conservative magazine, william f. buckically jr. used

to say he would rather be governed by the first 2,000 names in the boston phone book than by the faculty of harvard university and i think there's a lot of good sense in that i think you can't go wrong assuming that experts are wrong most of the time and doing research on your own. and when i was in ninth grade, on the first day of debate class, they handed out a white piece of paper with a list of logical fallacies. the first one was appeal to authority. and that is what we see in these news articles. any time you see trust the science or experts say that is an appeal to authority and a way to avoid engaging in a real debate. >> jesse: is that how they shut down debate or shut down any questions about what they want to have happen? just say oh the experts said it was true so you are not even allowed to disagree? >> i think what you see often a way to shame people and there is very little humility.

we see very little humility among experts particularly in the approach to covid, you know, we saw wear masks, don't wear masks. what we didn't see was, you know, this is a new virus, we don't quite know what the correct approach is yet. we are giving you the best guidance that we are as we see it now, and it might change. and i think it's that lack of -- not only that there was a lot of sneering at people who dared to question the guidance that was given. and i think that's what rubs the regular folks the wrong way. >> jesse: yeah, the fact that the treasury secretary and the fed chair had no idea that inflation was going to go nuts. everybody else could see it coming but the two experts in that field missed it. i mean, who are -- i mean, it's amazing. how people get appointed to positions of power. and government today. i guess it's who you know. right? all right. elainena, good know you know me.

i would point you somewhere if people ever put me somewhere in power. that's probably not a good idea. thanks. joe biden has become a laughing stock on the world stage. the saudis are roasting him like it's "saturday night live" now. >> i have very important message for you. the message is -- ♪ ♪ but we'll gladly be functional. so you can be free. booking.com booking.yeah >> tech: does your windshield have a crack? trust safelite. booking.com >> tech vo: this customer had auto glass damage, but he was busy working from home... ...so he scheduled with safelite in just a few clicks. we came to his house... ...then we got to work. we replaced his windshield and installed new wipers to protect his new glass,

america on the world stage and he does it repeatedly. there is a real cost to that. >> jesse: what's funny about this criticism is that trump was actually very successful on the world stage. he cut peace deals in the middle east in the balkans, he calmed down the north korean dictator. smashed the isis call fifth amendment took out al-baghdadi, absolutely. made our nato partners pony up more money. forecasting how the russian pipelines were weakening german resolve and confronted china on trade. trump was tough and the media hated him for it. so, when joe biden was elected, america was back. >> when president biden says america is back, he is right. >> this is why joe biden ran for president. because he wanted to strengthen the trans-atlantic alliance. he wanted to take america's democratic ideals abroad. >> it is a neck snapping change of pace in terms of both style and substance in this white

house and as you heard the president announce today, the united states of america is back. >> jesse: boy were they wrong. since the day biden took office, he has failed us on foreign policy. southern border wide open. who knows who is coming in. his afghanistan withdrawal complete disaster. 13 marines were killed. north korea firing off missiles like never before and russia is waging a war in europe. so we can't even count on the president to get through a press conference without saying the wrong thing. other countries are noticing now how weak biden is even our allies. we told you a couple months ago that saudi arabia didn't answer the phone when joe biden called. after protecting the kingdom for decades, the saudis turned their backs on us when we needed more oil production. didn't even pick up the phone. and now we know why. apparently then a little busy

producing tv skits like this one. >> africa, yeah, russia, yeah, russia, and i want to talk about president of russia putin, yeah, putin, putin, listen to me, i have very important message to you. the message is. [snoring] >> jesse: yikes. this doesn't make air without the approval of the crowned prince. the world's gas station thinks our president is a laughing stock. it's not good for business. so much for america being back. that's odd because kamala said foreign policy was easy. it's all about relationships. >> you know, joe is -- i love talking to joe about a lot of these issues and, you know, joe, i think he said it quite well, he says, you know, foreign policy might sound complicated but really it's relationships. just think about it as relationships. and so we know this in our

personal and professional relationship. >> jesse: karl rove is a fox news contributor. do you see this skit from the saudis as significant because i do. >> yeah, i think it's representative of a problem that we have got in the reasonable and it's not because of personal relationships. it's because of actions that we have taken that they don't like. we have cut back the military assistance. they think it's vital. we have engaged in negotiations with iran. their arch enemy to restart the so-called deal they sees a a sure pack path to nuclear weapon nation intention to not only destroy the state of israel but to recapture the holy sites inside saudi arabia and then we have been, you know, less than supportive in their mind of their fight against the houthi rebels in yemen, so and then there is also the issue of the murder of khashoggi and "the washington post" reporter that's looming back there. but i think the bigger issues are these three and they feel

like the new administration under the last year and a half has not been working with them but is working against the interest of their country. and they don't understand why. they think of themselves as a strong ally and they know that we want help from them on energy issues and they can't understand why we have on all these big issues yemen, iran nuclear deal and military assistance to saudi arabia been less than forthcoming in this administration. >> jesse: so, joe flies to iowa today to, i guess, blend a little more ethanol and the gas of the american public i think it brings down the price of the pump maybe a penny or two and then a bird pooped on him, karl, i think this just means that's good luck for the president because blaming putin last hasn't brought him any luck at all, has it. >> no, it hasn't. look, please, i mean, gas prices were going up before february 24th in the invasion of ukraine. and we were all hurting because

of that in fact, they moderated here in the last few days, the last week or so the idea of we are going to blame all the problems of the transitory inflation on putin is just -- i mean, they are digging a hole deeper. the american people look at that who do you think we are? idiots? of course they there may be some impact from the invasion of ukraine all that was happening long. you kept telling us it was going to go away. the administration has got bad messaging and it's because they got a lousy message to sell. >> jesse: all right. karl rove. i'm going to let you go because i have a big window into my soul that i need to share with the american people. thank you so much. >> i can't wait. >> jesse: the architect. >> they can't wait. >> jesse: watters window. this is important. i have been making a lot of to do lists. and people make fun of it because that's for nerds. you know, that's grocery list, something, it's not serious, no,

no, no, no. i make lists now. i make it and i put it somewhere where i see it in the morning and then i go through and i cross it off. you are laughing at me. i know you are. but the importance of list making is significant. it tells you what you need to accomplish the next day and then when you accomplish it, you cross it off. and you can just go down the list and knock things out. you wouldn't believe how much more you could accomplish in a single day in a single week when you make a list. so start making lists, america. we were going to have a toad lick licker to come on the show to share the psychedelic experience: new trend. because ever the shooting subway and the live press conference we had to go to, we're going to air the to do licker tomorrow night because everyone wants to know why people are licking toads and

what it feels like and whether there can be therapeutic qualities to injusting the venom of a southwestern american toad. that is it for us tonight. tucker carlson is up next and always remember i'm watters, and this is my world. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." had there been a single 24-hour period maxis joe biden became the president when you haven't been horrified by something you saw the news? probably not. the cascade of absurdities been really was. today we are sad to say it was officially depressing. inflation hit another record high and that's according to the government statistics that our leaders have devised to hide inflation. it turns out there's no
