americans as the border situation continues to be a major situation for this situation. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. we posted that matthew mcconaughey interview online, instagram, twitter. that's it for "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid. "jesse watters primetime" starts right now. hey, jesse. >> jesse: hey, great interview with matthew. >> bret: thanks. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: i'm sure have you all been lectured about some whiny upscale lib about male privilege, straight privilege. you know. here is one you don't hear much about liberal privilege. if you are a democrat, you can get away with just about anything in this country. lie, cheat, steal, whatever you want without consequence. because there is an entire system in place to protect americans who lean blue. when something goes wrong, the machine kicks in to high gear,

excuses are made, evidence just disappears. and the media makes sure the controversy goes away. they look out for their own. and if you aren't on their side, you get dumped in the basket of deplorables. with all the other racists and mass shooters. hillary clinton pioneered this tactic way back in 2016. remember that? it almost worked. and joe biden is doing the same thing right now. demonizing millions of responsible republicans who own firearms. they are deplorable. but not his son hunter. he voted for dad. so it's totally cool that he committed a felony by lying on a federal gun background check. think about that. a drug addict breaks the law, buys a gun, and uses it in some weird fantasy with hookers in a seedy hotel room. and then he loses it. he gets a pass. the press looks the other way. that's liberal privilege. do you think don jr. would get

away with that? i don't think so. how about the bush twins? what if they went on a crack bender and tossed a hot gun in a dumpster across from a school? we know they wouldn't. but you get the point. they probably wouldn't do this either. >> i spent more time on my hands and knees picking through rugs, smoking anything that even remotely resembled crack cocaine. i probably smoked more parmesan cheese than anyone. [laughter] -- anyone that you know. i remember one time for 13 days without sleeping. and smoking crack and drinking vodka exclusively throughout that entire time. >> jesse: when you have liberal privilege, you can do whatever you want and the media is going to help you clean it up. >> when did you have a gun? >> well, i -- again, you know, it appeared in my life that was

difficult. but, you know, i -- i don't know. >> jesse: the i don't know defense only works for democrats. and it's not just the media helping with the clean-up effort. in hunter's case, the secret service even chipped in, yeah. when the gun went missing, they helped search the dumpster and didn't think twice when hunter claimed two mexicans probably took it. you see, liberal privilege is all about getting off scot-free. instead of getting handcuffed, you get a clean record. it's a win-win for everybody involved. or in the case of peter navarro, a republican, you get leg shackled and a full body cavity search. turn your head and cough. >> they intercepted me getting on the plane. and then they put me in handcuffs. they bring me here. they put me in leg irons. they stick me in a cell. >> jesse: this is a distinguished public servant who was flagged off an airplane and

thrown in jail because he wouldn't go along with the democrats' partisan show trial. he didn't wave an illegal pistol in front of a hooker while high on narcotics and dump it next to a school. maybe he could have if he would have voted democrat. look at what is playing out right now with pappa pelosi, pauley p.? nancy's hubby. nancy goes out of town, he smashes up a shiny porsche. what was he doing out so late any way going stag to a dinner party? police gave him a blood alcohol test. he obviously failed. but that's when the liberal privilege kicked in. it's been more than a week and the california highway patrol still won't give us his mugshot. why is this mugshot different than any other american's mugshot? and while we are at it, where is the footage from the cop's body cam? the dash cam? the surveillance cameras in the drunk tank? it's all mysteriously missing. and we can't get a straight

answer out of anybody in california. the california highway patrol is run by a woman named amanda ray. there she is. ray is a democrat appointed by gavin newsom. this is a political position and it appears to be working as designed. a member of the california royal family gets arrested by highway patrol, and then the next day all the evidence vanishes. nobody can find it. amman ray's job is to protect and serve the people of california. not just the pelosis. right now, it looks like she is involved in a massive cover-up to protect the most powerful woman in the country. we have called ray's office dozens of times. she won't take our calls. we have lawyers involved. we sent her a letter today certified mail asking her to answer some simple questions about that night. was paul pelosi arrested? did police take a mugshot? were the officers wearing body

cameras? where is the footage? was it acid washed? and what was nancy pelosi's involvement in all of this? did she call newsom to make it all go away? we don't know. but we have every right to know. we will get to the bottom of this. we have lawyers. they are looking into it, and we will have an update for you very soon. liberal privilege is real. and it's dangerous. crimes in this country can't go unpunished for just a few. under joe biden criminals are being rewarded, hunter is selling finger paintings for hundreds of thousands of dollars a pop and they are no good. and we just learned today his vegas call girl got a 20,000 ppe loan. apparently she fell under the category of independent artist writers and performers. i guess the performer is what she was. that is liberal privilege. as for pauly p., he is already back to slinging stocks again.

today it was over 2 million in apple and microsoft. in case you are looking for some stock tips, now you know. again, liberal privilege. as for you, you don't get that privilege. you are just another deplorable in the eyes of washington's most powerful. they may be the ones screwing up all the time, but you are the ones getting the book thrown at you. "primetime" won't stand for, this and the american people shouldn't either. tulsi gabbard is a former democratic presidential candidate and former hawaii congresswoman. how does it make you feel when you see people just get away with things? if your mugshot was out from a dui, mine, come on it would be out there. if you smoked crack and waved a loaded gun in front of a prosecute do you think you would be able to get away with that. >> the answer is no but i would never do any of those things first of all. >> jesse: thanks for clearing that up.

it businesses me off.it's the d. those in power and the rest of us. we saw it in those examples you showed here. we saw insider trading pelosi does and has been doing for quite some time but also blatantlied a row indicating for. i introduced legislation in congress to prohibit members of congress and their spouses from trading in stocks, period. or even any perception of insider trading because your job is to serve the people and not cushion your own bank account. but, you know, one of the hypocritical things, you pointed out a number of them. one of the hypocritical things i see here is that president biden and his administration take a lot of time touting how great our democracy is around the world and how we follow the rule of law and so on and so forth and that autocracies with oligarchs should look to us to copy what we do and, yet, we have this living example of the oligarchs of america in people like pelosi and joe biden and hunter biden showing exactly

what our democracy should not be. >> jesse: if you are some king or some psycho autocrat and you see some of the crooked stuff that's going on in this country with hunter, the money, with pauly p., all this stuff, you got political opponents being shackled with leg irons, hauled off of planes, come on. you can't make hay out of that in a little propaganda piece? >> exactly. if you describe that without talking about names or where it was taking place, that's what a normal person would think. what foreign country is this happening in. that's not what founders envisioned for us. that's not here with supposed to been in country. disheartening to see the very people we have in charge are the ones dishonoring that vision our founders had and abusing that power. jess yeah. we'll couldn't get the mugshot so we had to do a sketch. some of the producers put together a sketch of what we think maybe the mugshot would look like. we will show that for you. we put it up earlier in the week. and this amanda woman, who runs

the california highway patrol, she knows what she is doing. you can't have someone -- there she is. you can't have someone arrested and, you know, their number is up if you are as interested as we are in getting the mugshot and body cam footage. that's how you contact her. it's a political position. obviously knows she has got a little hot potato sitting in the department's office. and she can't not know that they are not releasing it i mean, we have been banging the door down, so what is she hiding? >> i mean that is the real question, when you are showing that picture and looking at this person who is in a leadership position of those who wear the uniform, who are charged with enforcing the law, and you see this intentional cover-up, you see this very direct and blatant abuse of power is exactly why people start to lose faith and trust in these institutions that are supposed to represent the rule of law and that are supposed to represent the best public interest, not the interest of nancy pelosi and her

husband. >> jesse: all right. tulsi gabbard, thank you so much. >> thanks, jesse. >> jesse: coming up, matthew mcconaughey goes to washington. >> as divided as our country is, this gun responsibility issue is one we agree on more than we don't. ♪ ♪ at booking.com, finding perfect isn't rocket science. kitchen? sorted. hot tub, why not? and of course, puppy-friendly. we don't like to say perfect, but it's pretty perfect. booking.com, booking.yeah.

♪ >> jesse: hollywood actor and uvalde texas native matthew mcconaughey was at the white house today to talk about how to stop mass shootings. he met privately with the president and then he spoke at the white house press briefing. watch this. >> do you know what they all said? we want secure and safe schools

and we want gun laws that won't make it so easy for the bad guys to get these damn guns. we know it's on the table. we need to invest in mental health care. we need to safer schools. we need to restrain sensationalized media coverage. we need to restore our family values. we need to restore our american values. we need background checks. we need to raise the minimum age to purchase an ar-15 rifle to 21. we need a waiting period for those rifles. we need red flag laws. responsible gun owners are fed up with the second amendment being abused and hijacked by some deranged individuals. these regulations are not a step back. they are a step forward for a civil society and, and the assessment. >> jesse: here's the thing we

agree with some of what he just said. not all of it. and i have raised some of those points on this show. but matthew mcconaughey also said this back in 2018. >> one, let's ban the assault weapons. [cheers and applause] i have friends out there who are responsible owners of these recreational or these assault weapons that they use for recreation. let's take one for the team. set it down. [applause] >> jesse: so we don't know what to believe. karl rove is a fox news contributor. so, karl, he says one thing. ban all assault rifles, three or four years ago. and then he comes out and he is trying to move to the middle here, what do you think? >> well, i'm not going to be so critical of mcconaughey because he is an actor. he is not a public, you know, official. he is not a politician running for office. he, you know, he is clearly on the record before saying he wants to ban these weapons.

and yet he, today, he struck a. >> morgan: democrat tone. i would say two things. one is it is interesting that the white house put him tout speak rather than the president. second of all it, strikes me that this wasn't particularly constructive because, right now, we do have a group of republicans and democrats on the hill who are trying to find common sense solutions that will move us forward. they did this once before. we had this terrible shooting in sutterer lands springs texas. pass a bill no one pays attention fix nics bill this improved the background checks and filled a gigantic hole being ignored by state and local officials and even federal officials to make sure information was fed into the database this law passed in march of 2019, i believe it was. and the next year guess how many

people who weren't allowed to purchase weapons were stopped from purchasing weapons? it will blow your mind. 6 million people. adhered. to say they weren't being adhered by for state wanted the shooter at siewrld springs somebody forced out of the air force shouldn't have been allowed to buy a weapon. the air force failed to add the information into the criminal information system so as a result he was able to purchase a weapon. i'm less concerned about matthew mcconaughey than i am about another texan robert francis owe o'rourke. you had some footage of him the other day him breaking that up news conference. >> jesse: yeah is he a clown. >> is he a clown. remember in 201 hell yes we are going to take your ar-15, your

a.c. will that was when he was running for president. running for governor he wasn't interested in taking anything from anyone. what i want to make sure we do is defend the assessment. that was february of this year. >> jesse: sounds like mcconaughey changing positions all over the place. i'm just joking about the actor. what is the white house going to do now put tom cruise out to talk inflation? is this where we are going? >> yeah. one other thing. >> jesse: quickly, yes. oh, big list, karl, we don't have time. >> no, no, no. these are all the emails, the dates of the emails that robert francis owe o'rourke sent out soliciting campaign contributions campaigning uvalde. just send three bucks he said on each of these days in an email. >> jesse: i love how you used his god given name robert francis owe o'rourke. karl rove the architect as always. a new report says some familiar

>> jesse: there's an old saying if it ain't broke don't fix it well, what do you do if something is completely shattered, i mean, broken beyond repair? well, that's the task ahead for cnn's new boss, chris light. the failing new network is getting crushed in the ratings. and now they are trying to figure out how to survive post donald trump. and the word on the street is that cnn might clean house. according to a new report in axios, licket, whatever his name is, the new cnn president is quote evaluating whether personalities and grew polarizing during the trump area can adapt to be less partisan. if talent cannot adjust to a less partisan tone and strategy,

they could be ousted. who could those people be? well, axios names, specifically brian stelter and jim acosta. those two talking heads are on the chopping block. watch to see how they both move to the middle to try to keep their jobs within the next month. but, if we lose those two guys, we would be missing out on moments like this that make this show and others here so great. >> looking at the 2020, one reason why i'm taking you seriously as a contender because of your presence on cable news. >> let me ask you a question. jim. >> do you believe. >> to this country and they are not always going to be. >> jim do you believe. >> they are not going to be highly skilled. >> jim, i appreciate your speech. >> we all love tv, especially "primetime." not this show, of course, we all know we love this show. i'm talking about from 8:00 to 11:00 where the networks love to

put on a good show. some of them are ratings hits like adele's one night concert i would sing but my voice is a little hoarse right now. some are train wrecks like lebron james' decision in 2010. >> lebron, what's your decision? >> um, this fall is very tough. and this fall i'm going to take my talents to south beach and join the miami heat. >> jesse: but this week the american public is about to witness the "primetime" performance of a lifetime. no, it's not tom cruise and the new top gun, it's the january 6th committee hearing coming to you live in prime time on thursday night. and every poll we have looked, january 6th doesn't register. the american people are focused on the economy, gas prices, crime, so the democrats, they are going to jazz it up for us on thursday night. with so-called bombshells. >> if you don't deliver a bombshell on thursday, don't you

run the risk of losing the public's attention here? >> our goal is to present the narrative of what happened in this country, how close we came to losing our democracy. the american people i think know a great deal already. they have seen a number of bombshells already. so we want to tell that comprehensive narrative. >> jesse: so it doesn't seem like there is going to be any bombshells. that doesn't mean the democrats won't be pulling out all the stops. the committee has brought in former abc news president and good morning america head james gold citizen to turn the hearings into a quote blockbuster investigative special. in other words, the democrats are going to razzle dazzle you. we're going to need to entertain. they have seen the heard depp trial. this country right now is still in danger. >> for folks watching at home

now, should they be concerned that these midterms coming up might be marred by violence? >> we all should be concerned about the midterms being harmed and all public officials should be concerned about their own safety. >> jesse: see what's going on here in the democrats and the media are going to put on a movie and the plot will draw a straight line from january 6th to the midterms in november. which are going to be violent, according to these guys. if democrats retake the house and the senate, trump and the shaman, you know, with the little horns on his head are going to win, that's the implication. democrats need to scare you because they have nothing else. they are failing on every metric. but we all know what this is really about. it's about politics. biden is not only under water on every major issue except covid, is he practically drowning. and democrats know this is going to crush them in the midterms. >> since 1938 the republican two point lead on the generic

congressional ballot is the best position for republicans at this point in any midterm cycle in over 80 years. my estimate for the 2023 house makeup if the election were held today when which, again, it isn't. we still have five months. five months from tomorrow would be republicans 236 seats to 241 seats. democrats 194 to 199. >> jesse: republicans have their best position to take over the house, ready, in 80 years. and the left knows it. that's why with no support and no substance, all the left has is turning january 6th hearings into something bigger. they need to razzle dazzle. >> razzle dazzle. >> 1, 2, 3, 4. >> jesse: let's get some razzle dazzle here bret baier fox news chief political anchor. bret, it sounds like the strategy here you take matthew mcconaughey and wrap him up into january 6th and roe v. wade

and, boom, you have the democrat midterm strategy. do we have that right? >> bret: i'm not sure, jesse, whether matthew mcconaughey fits into that picture. i do think is he in town making impassioned pitch. i had him on "special report" tonight. is he trying to speak to the middle of the country to get common sense things done left and right. obviously the administration is going to take whatever they can to try to get something across the finish line. the numbers are horrific. you saw the cnn guy talking about 80 years, it's the worst position for democrats. the republicans only need to win seven seats to take over the house. they are in a position to potentially win 30 or 35 or 40. the president is upside down on economic approval. net approval minus 26. that hasn't been anything like that. since president jimmy carter. he did not do too well. so i think that they are looking at all those numbers and trying to see what potentially works. whether it's guns, roe v. wade, it's definitely not talking about crime, immigration, or

inflation. >> jesse: a lot of complaining going on. you don't see a lot of the leaks. we have heard a lot cnn to nbc news. biden is mad. he is seething, bret. they are not letting him out of the house. his poll numbers are atrocious. they're worst than trump's. now they are fretting over the jimmy carter comparison. why doesn't he just solve problems instead of trying to empathize with people or cheer lead for how great the hot economy is which he doesn't understand. why doesn't he actually do something that you can feel that might actually make americans feel that things are better? >> bret: you know, when you start seeing a flow of these stories, and influx of the stories from insiders in the white house, you know that there's angst inside. there is the let biden be biden. there is we have to control him because he is not good after so many minutes in a press conference. he is saying he wants to be out on the stump and wants to be out, you know, at the baby formula factory and with the car manufacturer and all these places. but it does not appear like the

powers that be communicationswise want him to do that. so, it is this box that they are in. and democrats are fretting and you are starting to see more stories about is there a plan b? i will say that this january 6th committee, you are right to point out that he they are using it and they are positioning it in prime time. the last prime time committee hearing we had was the va hearings back in 2014. there is obviously hearings and confirmation hearings that drift into the night like supreme court nominations, but this is positioned to be there and the abc producer is positioned to make a splash. i will say that robert mueller's hearing was supposed to be a big splash. it did not deliver that. if people want to see all of the splash, martha and i will be anchor on fox business network, streaming on foxnews.com and fox nation, no pay walls on thursday night and i know you guys will be dipping in throughout. you know, it will be a spectacle, whether it's what the

democrats think it's going to be is yet to be seen. >> jesse: we will see how it plays out. bret baier, thank you so much. >> bret: you bet. >> jesse: breaking news about kamala harris and the caravan. that's next. ♪ ♪ allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! flonase all good.

the u.n. is actually running the show. according to the "new york post," the u.n. is giving cash cards to people in the caravan. the u.n. is also paying for therapists to sit illegals down on a little couch and help them recover repressed memories of persecution. so when illegals get to border patrol agents they can remember all the scary things that were done to them in el salvador and then they are granted asylum. the "new york post" says this works. the u.n. is playing us for a bunch of suckers and biden is buying into it. julio, don't you remember how you were famished? don't you remember, juan, how you were bullied? oh, yeah, this is ridiculous. we give the u.n. more money than any other country in the world. $10 billion a year. and they take that money and give it to the illegals to break our law? but this is only part of the problem. kamala is in charge of the

border. she has never actually visited the border. but then again, neither has joe. kamala spent a year and a half investigating root causes and now, get, this she plans to throw more money at the problem. at today's summit of the americas, kamala announced a $1.9 billion investment in central america. >> these investments are also a good example of what our policies, beyond our shore, can do to benefit the people within the united states because we know the american people will benefit from stable and prosperous neighbors. >> jesse: so, in other words, she is just throwing money at a problem that keeps getting worse. basically the very definition of liberalism. she is virtue signaling with our money and it's not solving anything. the corrupt leaders of these countries just embezzling the money and keep the caravans

coming north. and you are never going to buy them into compliance. we can't even get these leaders to show up. mexico's president isn't even making an appearance at biden's big summit this week. mexico is our second biggest trade partner and second most populated country in the americas. they just dissed us. and they are not alone. other leaders in countries like guatemala, honduras, kamala's allies are snubbing us, just taking the money and running. and, by the way, kamala is supposed to be running point on diplomacy over there? but she went months without even talking to the president of guatemala. here's what she told fox back in december. >> other than your meeting with kamala harris in june. >> that's the only one. >> that is the only communication you have had with the biden administration about illegal immigration? >> yes. >> jesse: no wonder the border is a mess. you can't buy respect. and throwing money at a problem won't make it go away.

have a solution to inflation but she really admires the problem. in other words, get used to it. meanwhile, her boss, president biden, continues to campaign for more economic chaos by trying to convince us in congress to raise taxes by $3.5 trillion, by expanding an already generous welfare state, and by turning cops into social workers. meanwhile, i don't know about where you live, jesse, but in my state, the price of gas is so high that it would be cheaper to buy cocaine and just run everywhere. [laughter] >> and in the middle of all of this murk and mayhem here comes vice president harris. she told us she has had an

epiphany. she has discovered the root cause of illegal immigration and what we should do about it she wants american companies to invest $3 billion, not in america, but in central american countries. many of which hate us, some of which will steal the money, so those central american companies will be more like america and their people want won't want to come to our country. now, this is not satire. she said that. i mean, i will wait a moment while you stop laughing. [laughter] >> she really said that if the vice president were here right now, i would say respectfully, madam vice president, there is no force in history, none, more powerful than self-delusion. the root cause of illegal immigration is that people are coming into our country illegally and people are coming in to our country illegally

because you and president biden are letting them in. enforce the law. do what we were doing the day before you took office. and the american people understand that. and that's why president biden is about as popular right now as a sinkhole.
