disaster in the way did it and getting al-zawahri is a good thing. they are not mutually exclusive. >> bret: tomorrow, exclusive interview with kentucky republican senator rand paul. fair, balanced, still unafraid. will have complete coverage of the president's speech tonight. "jesse watters prime time" is now. >> jesse: thanks. tonight we start with fox news alert. al qaeda leader ayman al-zawahri is dead. intelligence sources tell fox news the terrorist leader was killed in a cia drone strike in afghanistan over the weekend. president biden set to address the nation tonight with details. white house correspondent peter doocy is here with the latest. >> the national security council here at the white house's briefing reporters with details that we will be able to share about the steering drone strike the president ordered.

we should have been for you in a few minutes. this is the kind of thing that a president, any president, would usually be monitoring while it's in progress from the oval office, from the white house situation room. that was impossible as we learn more about this raid because the president is quarantining. he got covid. this is something that was in progress while he has been isolating. we know that about 30 minutes, because of the covid, he's going to be speaking from the blue room balcony. it's not something we usually see from this president. mrs. oh leader who about a year ago argued limits to what was widely considered at the time a hasty withdrawal from afghanistan. it was never going to be pretty but that the u.s. was going to figure out how to go and kill terrorists without an afghanistan base. this drone strike, if confirmed, as we can for more details, it appears to prove the president

correct in that regard but remember. this is a leader, when he was vp, and all some of bin laden was leader of al qaeda, he famously bragged about counseling barack obama to wait, not to go after bin laden when obama did but now more than a decade later with the new leader, president biden had a chance. had a shot any ticket. >> jesse: it looks like nancy pelosi's trip to taiwan it's a big gamble. is nancy getting sloppy? reportedly supposed to land in taiwan tomorrow. chinese propagandists are already threatening to shoot her out of the sky. are the chinese buffing? we don't know. but they put out this video today on the eve of her arrival.

watch this. they say the u.s. military is prepared for action and have deployed carrier strike group, uss ronald reagan in the south china sea and we have a marine expeditionary unit to the south of japan. it's not just the chinese we have to worry about. the president is very unhappy with this trip. very unhappy. the biden family has a lot of money at stake in china. they have paid his son and his brother over $6 million, a diamond, not to mention in the

future chinese business biden stands to reap when he leaves office is significant. nancy is on her own little family mission and we will get to that a little bit later. the truth is biden doesn't even really know what our policy is towards taiwan. two months ago he said we would use military force to defend the island if the chinese attacked it. >> are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? >> yes. >> you are? >> that's the commitment we made. >> jesse: joe is saying that the military doesn't want nancy to go. after the long lecture, last week, biden says the united states will behave. knowing all of this, why is nancy going to taiwan? she can go wherever she wants. but are we planning on dragging china into a proxy war over taiwan, like russia is with ukraine? we hope not. what is the plan, nancy? nancy has been all business in

asia. this isn't the same laid-back nancy who went to italy hanging out with the girls on the beach. this was a buttoned up as this delegation. nancy is playing diplomat now. if you know anything about nancy's repeated in congress, the last thing she is is diplomatic. she uses her gavel as a weapon. divides and conquers. if her stock trades have shown us anything, her timing is perfect. can you think of a better way to distract from your husbands dui hearing on wednesday the do fly into an asian hornets nest? scramble the u.s. navy? she hits taiwan tuesday. then the papers wednesday are going to run with that headline. we don't believe in coincidences when it comes to nancy pelosi. there's always more that meets the eye in the pelosi family. since nancy is already taking a risk, you might as well hit two

birds with one stone. let's not forget. big money in taiwan. they happen to be the biggest chip manufacturer in the world. most of our chips come from taiwan. our supply chain depends on taiwan computers, electronics. pelosi knows about all this. of course. how could she not? taking the first loss of his life holding nvidia options before nancy passed the chips bill. this is the second bite of the apple, we suspect. nancy is looking for a new investment opportunity firsthand kicking the tires in singapore, looking for sure things in malaysia, talking shop over dinner in south korea. all major tech manufacturing hubs for u.s. industry. i'm sure nancy would never dangle potential taxpayer investment in these countries. i am sure she would never happen to know about can't miss

opportunities. maybe nancy plans on retiring after she loses the house in a setting up the pelosi foundation in the far east. same as the clinton foundation but classier. you can never be certain what the wolf of washington is up to. she is looking at every angle. flying to taiwan a week ago, got her greatest enemy all worked up, put biden in a box, and she looks like the daring diplomat from the cold war era. all eyes on the queen of napa and all eyes off papa. on wednesday he learns his feet. then ryan is the ceo and founder of american majority. he joined us now. what you think is going on with this trip? >> i think there's a couple different purposes. one is pelosi is using the speakership. they've always use the speakership to actually pad her retirement account. i've note doubt taiwan, the world headquarters for semiconductors. she's doing a little investigating.

i also think that she is doing a little legacy building. she knows this is probably her last run a speaker. she knows when republicans take a majority back she's done in congress. i think you might be right on that front. a little legacy building. taiwan. photo shoot doesn't do much at all. if we were serious about standing with taiwan in the face of the chinese communists, we would be serious about getting western economic dependence off of china. if we are so concerned about it, we would stop buying so many chinese goods. you think they would have the ability, china, to be having this threatening stance towards taiwan if we hadn't funded it because i think we need to be honest. just as europe, billion euros a russian energy in ukraine, we have to be honest the china has been empowered by us to take a stance against taiwan. if we want to be serious, it's being serious about economics

dependence on china. >> jesse: you are saying it's legacy burnishing. she knows the arc of history's great against the chinese and she knows as speaker she has been instrumental in opening up the chinese market, allowing for u.s. investment and jobs in factories to pour into mainland china at the expense of the american worker and now after covid and after the fentanyl thing and after this whole thing is coming on buttoned, she is going over there to look like she had the backs of the taiwan people. she has america's best interest at heart when in fact that's not what the facts say over the last two decades. >> this has been going on for decades, the ruling class in which nancy pelosi is front and center has been selling off out of the chinese on the manufacturing front, trade, they have been selling out the american people for decades so i think this is a sad, starry little attempt to say i stood wh

the people of taiwan when the empirical evidence points to her selling out the american people. this is about enriching her family and abusive public office all we need to be aware of that. >> jesse: her husband paul made a killing on a limo deal with the chinese. this has retirement fund written all over it. thanks as always for joining us. again, paul's hearing is wednesday and we will someone there. fox news alert. president biden is about to make a major announcement from the white house. we will take you live at the bottom of the hour. what we know about this experimental drug that the president is taking? he hasn't worked this hard to only get this far with his cholesterol. taken with a statin, leqvio can lower bad cholesterol and keep it low with two doses a year. side effects were

>> jesse: three days after joe biden were his aviators and declared victory over covid the resident tested positive again. >> hey, folks. joe biden here. tested positive this morning. i'll be working from home the next couple days. feeling fine. feeling good. commander and i have a little work to do. >> jesse: we got the news on saturday and certainly hope he recovers quickly but the prime time team is worried joe biden has been the victim of disinformation. hasn't been following science, experimenting with some unproven drugs. not hydroxychloroquine. joe biden has been taking paxlovid, the pfizer drug which apparently you can get covid twice with. they are calling it a covid rebound. i guess biden likes quarantining so much he fell for covid again. don't worry. politico describes this as a phenomenon, something that rarely ever happens.

wait a second. i remember this happening just a month ago. >> after i finished the five days of paxlovid, i reverted to negative, antigen test for three days in a row. and then on the fourth day, just to be absolutely certain, i tested myself again and i reverted back to positive by the antigen test. so it was sort of what people are referring to as a paxlovid rebo then over the next day or so, i started to feel really poorly, much worse than in the go around. >> jesse: dr. fauci and biden both, quadruple facts, caught covid, took paxlovid, got covid again. these guys might have better luck with ivermectin but i'm not a doctor. would like to ask how the president is really doing but again, the white house is muzzling the doctors. simply biden accuse the trump white house of doing which was strange since dr. fauci was on

tv more than kilmeade. i know you're not allowed to question the signs. you just have to follow it blindly. pfizer initially said reinfection only happens in one to 2% of people who take paxlovid. med didn't seem quite right with our team. cnn medical analyst agrees with us. he says the reinfection rate for people taking paxlovid is more like 40%. that's a big difference. we need to get to the bottom of this. pfizer is making big money on the pill, raking in over $8 billion alone in the second quarter. interesting. it seems like the money is adding up with the science isn't. biden pushed vaccines, boosters, pills and none of them do what they say they're going to do. despite all of this, biden is still pushing vaccine mandates. in fact, the administration isn't letting the arguably the greatest tennis player in history to come into our country

and play in the u.s. open. because he won't get the shot. the joker is healthy. he's young, he's fit. playing tennis and an open air arena where at no point during the match do you come within 6 feet of your opponent. but since he is unvaccinated, he is banned from the united states. biden is bringing thousands of unvaxxed migrants into the country a day and flying them into every city you can think of. but these things don't matter because biden has covid again and he's back in the basement where he won the election from. the media says he's been on a roll since he's been in the basement. passing bills, killing terrorists. the media thinks joe biden is no longer jimmy carter. he is becoming ronald reagan. listen. >> reagan. that's what a biden confidant told me. when that confidant said we are reagan, the extension was we had a big plan and its getting in

place. here comes the asterisk. the president's inner circle may think of him as reagan but of course a lot of data out there showing great skepticism among voters. >> jesse: nationally syndicated radio host and sub stat columnists. dana, lots to digest here. where do we begin? >> yeah. well, thanks for having me as always. correct me if i'm wrong, i believe that tennis player already contracted the virus. the athletes have this natural immunity which is never discussed but i do have a theory about biden in the long covid or still having covid or whatever. i think they just want to keep them in the basement until after the midterms because he is such a drain. they want to keep them out of there so people can go on to make and try to mitigate their losses in the house and senate as much as possible because the more he's out there, the worse it is meant reminds everyone

that this election is all about biden and his disastrous policies and how he further disastrously manage this response to coming out of locked out and the pandemic with the not really vaccines but injections, boosters. they don't want that reminder so he is in the basement. >> jesse: this long covid could last quite some time and it avoids that awkward situation where the democrats campaigning in districts that don't want him to visit don't have to say no, no, no, don't visit. he is not coming anyway because he is stuck quarantining at 1600 pennsylvania. that clears that right up. >> it's super convenient. it does clear it right up. no skin off his nose. i don't know about kamala harris. she can't help anybody out either. no fund-raising. >> jesse: they had to cut the harris fund-raising. they were slashing the price because no one would pay it.

>> it was deeply discounted, dollar store discounts, still pretty high for inflation. you bring up a really great point. i wish all these medical professionals, fauci and whoever. the biden administration could say we know what we know. we know what we don't. you can still have all these problems. this is what this has been all about from the get-go. people have lied. these people in these bureaucratic positions have misrepresented things to the american people so we no longer trust them anymore. minus one keep biden in the basement at this point. >> jesse: if they told you and that small print on the back of the pack of the drugs you see, 40% chance you get the disease. taking this bill to stop it. how many people would buy that. no one. >> it will probably cut into some profits but we are not supposed to say that. i'm glad that he's recovered. and i'm glad, kind of mostly

recovered. i'm glad he's able to get through it. natural immunity and everything else was actually reduce the severity of symptoms so we are grateful for that. >> jesse: grateful for everything and we wish the president a speedy recovery. speedier this time. in couple recoveries. all right. we've got this. thank you so much, dana. >> thanks, jesse. >> jesse: fox news alert. major announcement live from the white house on the other side of the break.

national security correspondent jennifer griffin is standing by at the pentagon. >> we expect to hear details from the president moments from now about the cia drone strike that allegedly killed ayman al-zawahri. until now the white house would simply say they carried out a successful counterterrorism operation against what it called a significant al qaeda target in afghanistan. sources of the pentagon were sworn to secrecy. the white house as there were no civilian casualties and the target was a residential home in kabul. the 70-year-old al qaeda leader was usama bin laden's right hand, responsible for the 9/11 attacks, the embassy bombings in africa, the bombing of the uss cole. not as charismatic as bin laden, he was the philosopher behind the al qaeda ideology going back to its nation formation -- nation formation he was jailed twice in egypt as a member of egyptian islamic

jihad, accused of overthrowing the government in egypt. a former surgeon, he was bin laden's personal physician and close confidant in those years when the mujahedin were fighting the soviets in the '80s. he became the nominal leader of al qaeda al qaeda after bin laden was killed in 2011 but was believed to be very ill for years. in the meantime, isis began to compete with al qaeda for the global jihadist mental. other al qaeda branches like those in yemen served as the operational tip of the spear, plotting terrorist attacks on the u.s. a vicious rivalry developed between isis and al qaeda in the past decade. after this number 11 attacks, u.s. state department offered a $25 million reward for information or intelligence leading to al-zawahri's capture. this drone strike is the first publicly known cia strike in afghanistan since the fall of kabul, almost exactly a year ago. that example of what the

pentagon turned over the horizon strike capabilities of the time. president biden will deliver on the operation moments from now. the white house blue room in order to keep him in the rest of the staff stay say from covid. >> jesse: what does it tell you, a guy like this of his status was living openly in the heart of afghanistan and kabul, in the capital? >> we don't know is when he moved to kabul into that statehouse. he allegedly was hit, struck. what was the intelligence that led the cia to that house? did he move sometime? it's assumed he moved sometime in the last year. he was largely believed to have been in that border region inside pakistan on the other side of the afghan border for years. again, he was very sick for some time. we'll hopefully get more details from the president about some of the intelligence.

i highly doubt that they will really give away the source of the tip. it's interesting that there was this $25 million reward. will that reward be paid out? was their attempt that will lead to some sort of reward being paid out? >> jesse: where would we have launched a drone from? because we lost a lot of capabilities when we pulled out of there. i'm not really sure if we actually were able to do what we said we were able to do with the strike certainly bolsters the president. we see the president right now as he takes the podium. we are going to have to let you go and listen to the president speak. >> president biden: at my direction, the united states successfully concluded an air strike in kabul, afghanistan, that killed ayman al-zawahri. zawahri was bin laden's leader. he was with him the whole time. he was his number two man, his deputy at the time of the terrorist attack of 9/11.

he was deeply involved in the planning of 9/11. one of the most responsible for the attacks that murdered 2,977 people on american soil. for decades, he was the mastermind behind attacks against americans, including the bombing of the uss cole in 2000s ear which killed 17 american sailors and wounded dos more. he played a key role in the bombing in the u.s. embassies in kenya and tanzania killing 224 and wounding over 4,500 others. he carved a trail of murder and violence against american citizens. american service members. american diplomats and american interests. since the united states deliver justice to bin laden 11 years ago, >> jim: who has been the leader of al qaeda. he coordinated al qaeda's branches and all around the world including setting

priorities for providing operational guidance that called for an inspired attacks against u.s. targets. he made videos calling for his followers to attack the united states and the allies. justice has been delivered. this terrorist leader is no more. people around the world no longer need to fear the vicious undetermined killer. united states demonstrated our resolve and capacity to defend the american people against those who seek to do us harm. we make it clear again tonight that no matter how long it takes, no matter where you hide, if you are a threat to our people, the united states will find you and take you out. after relentlessly seeking zawahri for years under president bush, obama, and trump. our intelligence community located zawahri earlier this year. he had moved to downtown kabul

to reunite with members of his immediate family. after carefully considering the clear and convincing evidence of a vocation, i authorized a precision strike that would remove him from the battlefield once and for all. this mission was carefully planned, rigorously minimize the harm to other civilians. one week ago after being advised the conditions were optimal, i gave the final approval to go get him. the mission was a success. none of his family members were hurt and there were no civilian casualties. i'm sharing this news with the american people now after confirming the total success through the painstaking work of our counterterrorism community and key allies and partners. my administration has kept congressional leaders informed as well. what i ended our military mission in afghanistan almost a year ago, i made a decision that after 20 years of war, the united states no longer needed

thousands of boots on the ground in afghanistan to protect america from terrorists who seek to do us harm. i made a promise to the american people that we continue to conduct effective counterterrorism operations in afghanistan and beyond. we have done just that. in february, our forces conducted a daring mission in syria that eliminated the leader of isis. last month he took out another key isis leader. we have eliminated the mere of al qaeda. he will never again, never again allow afghanistan to become a terrorist safe haven because he's gone and we are going to sure nothing else happens. it can't be a launching pad against the united states. we are going to see to it that won't happen. it's a clear demonstration that we will, we can, and will always make good on the solemn pledge. my administration will continue

to monitor threats from al qaeda no matter where they emanate from. as commander-in-chief, it's my solemn responsibility to make america safe in a dangerous world. the united states did not seek this war against terror. it came to us. we answered with the same principles and resolve that have shaped us for generation upon generation. to protect the innocent, defend liberty, and we keep the light of freedom burning, beacon for the rest of the entire world because this is a great and defining truth about our nation and our people. we do not break. we never given. we never backed down. last year on september 11 i once more paid by respected ground zero in new york city and that quiet field in shanksville and at the pentagon, standing at the memorial at ground zero. seen the names of those who died

forever etched in bronze is a powerful reminder of the sacred promise we made as a nation. we will never forget. the quotation from virgil. no day shall erase you from the memory of time. no day shall erase you from the memory of time. we continued to mourn every innocent life that was stolen on 9/11. and honor their memories. to the families who lost fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, friends and coworkers. that searing september day. it's my hope that this decisive action will bring one more measure of closure. no day shall erase them from the memory of time. today it every day i am so grateful for the superb patriots who serve the united states intelligence community, the countering terrorism communities. they never forget.

those dedicated women and men who work every day to keep our country safe. it is thanks to their extraordinary persistence and skill that this operation was a success. they have made us all safer. to those around the world who continue to seek to harm the united states, hear me now. we will always remain vigilant and we will act and we will always do what is necessary to ensure the safety and security of americans at home and around the globe. today we remember the lost. we commit ourselves to the safety of living. and we pledge that we shall never waver from divining our nation and its people. thank you all. may god protect our troops and all those who serve in harm's way. we will never, we will never give up. >> jesse: let's bring in general keith kellogg, former national security advisor to

vice president mike pence. you heard the president announcing great news for the american people. i'm sure there's going to be some people that are alarmed at the fact that a guy like this, the brains and the philosopher behind al qaeda, the number to come another number one, is just living openly in the capital of afghanistan. there must be more. al qaeda terrorist consolidating power after we left. or you have people thinking this is exactly what we wanted to do, contact these counterterrorism strikes from the air using intelligence and technology in order to keep our people say. how do you see it? >> jesse, thanks for having me. they were very good words. i'm not going to lose any sleep tonight about al-zawahri being killed. he was a thug. he was the mastermind, the brains behind the outfit, chief operating officer. we were able to find him and kill him. president biden was right. we're going to find you and

we're going to kill you regardless of what it takes and i think having a $25 million bounty on your head helps a lot as well. over time, we are going to be able to fear these guys out and find them. here's the concern that i do have. the concern that i've got. let's make sure we verify we've got the guy. when we killed bin laden we were able to verify we got him. when we killed baghdadi we were able to verify we got him. only killed soleimani we were able to verify we've got him. let's make sure we verify that ava actually got this guy. to ensure the american people it was a good strike. president trump was right. president biden was right. we have said you can attack these guys from a distance. when you have guys like the predator and global hawk with great loiter time, ability to strike from a distance, we said you don't need troops on the ground. president trump said that. president biden said that. he got out of afghanistan in a very messy way but i think the

fact is true. i almost want to look look to the military and say we have been telling you this. we told you the last four or five years. why didn't you listen. 33 you mentioned being able to confirm the strike and the identity of the terrorist. i believe they say they have confirmed it. are you suspicious that they haven't confirmed it yet? how would they go about doing that? matching dna samples customer how would they have gotten a sample of a guy like that? >> the president said that they have known where he was out for the last few days. you have the ability. putting people on the ground. people that are supporting you from other countries. only killed soleimani we have the ability to go in and take pictures of him. if you pull up the kill on soleimani, we had a picture of the vehicles that were burning. we have the picture of his hand that was severed with the ring

that he always wore. we killed baghdadi, it was the same way. we were able to identify the body. when they killed usama bin laden, they actually brought him out. measured him with a tape measure. they took his dna. i'm hoping that the cia missing some type of surrogates or agents on the ground were able to get some type of dna brought out that we actually got this guy. i hate to use the old reagan term: trust but verify. i want to make sure we killed these guys and that is verifiable. there's a way to do it and i hope they did it through the cia has the capacity to do it. let's see if they did. >> jesse: i wrote a report that they didn't bring the tape measure. they forgot it so they had one of our soldiers lined up next to him to compare. it's an unbelievable morsel from that strike. >> the president made the comment at the time, you don't even have a tape measure to

measure this guy? >> jesse: the helicopter that we lost was not cheap. thankful for you to come on the show, general keith kellogg. let's turn it over to "special report" anchor bret baier. we were talking a little bit about this on the five. tell me how you think the white house is going to use this successful strike to propel the president in a more positive direction politically. >> bret: good evening. i think this helps his case for over the horizon, the ability to strike at terrorists. there was a lot of criticism after he pulled out of afghanistan that our eyes and ears on the ground would hinder our ability to go after these targets. this goes the other way. you were just talking about the confirmation. he mentioned in the speech u.s. intelligence as well as regional partners. the intel officials and i have talked to are confident that they confirmed zawahri's death. this is a uav drone strike by the cia.

two hellfire missiles fired and he was killed we are told on the balcony at a residence and his family was in a different part of the house. they were not hurt. there were no other casualties. we have heard that before from this administration and it didn't turn out to be true. the sources that we are talking about say this is very specific and they believe that this is zawahri. to your point, i think they are going to use the ability to strike like this without u.s. troops on the ground despite how chaotic and horrible the pullout from afghanistan was so that helps them politically obviously in telling that story. >> jesse: all right. bret baier, thank you so much for joining us and reacting to the president. next, even jon stewart now is missed. the veterans bill he's been screaming about is rigged. he hasn't worked this hard

>> jesse: democrats have a big problem. their voters are jumping ship. they are tired of for a dollar gas and unsafe streets. they know they have to do something. democrats don't want to stop wasting our tax dollars, close our border, lock out violent criminals so they did something unusual. they went to new jersey as an tract on the guy who used to get young lives all excited, jon stewart but he wasn't the same guy they knew from the daily show. democrats needed him. stuart has always been an advocate for veterans. he's helped get a lot done for our troops and we thank him for that. john has been living on a farm for years so he's not as sharp as he used to be. schumer is taking advantage. in a bill meant to help vets who got sick from burn pit exposure democrats snuck in a gimmick that opens the door for $400 billion in unrelated

spending. when republicans in the senate blocked that version of the bill democrats sent stewart to raise. no one trust schumer our bidens so they had john do the dirty work and he did a pretty good job. he made his rounds and he followed schumer's talking points for the most part but in one of his appearances he slipped up and admitted there could be some unrelated spending. >> there isn't unrelated spending. they say there could be if there wasn't oversight but that is the senate's job. >> jesse: there's a reason most of the country doesn't trust congress. they can't get anything right. you want them to give free rein over $400 billion while inflation is at a 41 year high? we don't need story to tell us that. there's a paper trail. congressional budget office or jump from 283 billion to 667 billion because of the little gimmick. come on. we can afford to spend all this

cash on unrelated causes. the amendment would make sure every dollar goes to the right place. whenever you bring it up, schumer loses it. >> suffered for 15 years. you are a troll. >> jesse: that was our friend jack who later got stewart to calm down and agree with him. or he just starts ranting about hunter biden and pride flags. listen. >> i get it. i am a liberal piece of [bleep] i get it. i know what i am. i am hunter biden's cocaine dealer. i get it. i am more gay pride flag than man. you couldn't attack me and you control me. here's the beautiful thing.

i don't give a [bleep]. i'm not scared of you. i don't care. >> jesse: this is the left's only hope. they haven't seen energy like this come out of the democrats since they leaked the roe v. wade draft. sure, stored is oblivious but people actually listen to him. so the pushing back on his claims, the media, they are just encouraging him to run for president. >> i have heard you say you've saw it in the past, you're given consideration of running for office. i think i have that correct. we have some precedent. there is a guy in ukraine who is a comedian who had a very popular show who is now a president of ukraine. some people think he's a very good president. is there any chance you'd run for office? any office at all? >> jesse: the grandstanding is not going to last. congressional sources told prime time that this bill would pass with the senator toomey amendment. we want all the vets to get the

help they deserve but it only seems republicans are going to make sure congress doesn't blow money on pet projects instead of our troops. at the end of the day, schumer knows what's right and wrong. he realized that eventually the press my report this and america would find out it's actually the democrats playing games with our veterans. so chuck decided to give his party the go-ahead on passing the bill. >> the senate will take another vote this week. i urge everyone, every democrat, every republican to vote yes. keep our promise to our veterans. senator toomey said he wanted some amendments and we say we've got to pass this bill. as i said last week, we offered him an amendment but they still voted no. we are putting the bill on the floor this week and we hope they join us. we expected to pass. >> jesse: senator pat do meet opposed the burn pit legislation and he joins me now. we're going to get this done in

the right way. >> jesse, that is still very much an open question. senator schumer has not told me that i'm going to be able to get my amendment. let me just underscore. you have been exactly right about this and thank god there is somebody in the media who cares about getting it right. this is a replay of an age-old washington trick. take a sympathetic group of americans. it could be kids suffering from rare diseases. it could be victims of crime. could be veterans exposed to toxic substances. craft a bill to address their problems, and then sneak something in that they know could never pass on its own and dare the republicans to raise an issue because they will stick their accomplices in the media and some pseudo-celebrity who will tell lies and characterize this as heartless, cruel republicans don't care about these victims. totally untrue. my amendment has absolutely nothing to do with the actual money that will be spent for

veterans who need it. with respect to an existing programs nor the perspective programs. i won't cut a dime, not a penny under any circumstances. what i want to do is exactly what you said. stop them from changing the budget rules to grease the skids for a $400 billion spending spree that has nothing to do with veterans. >> jesse: you've been around for a while. i know you're going to retire. maybe enjoy the grandkids. you've seen a lot of action in the senate. have these things, these ploys worked in the past where they drummed up all of this political drama. maybe a celebrity cried and republicans buckled and did the wrong thing? >> that can happen. they have done this because sometimes it works. it's not fun to have all the media -- not all but the majority of media accusing you

of full things. they make up one allegation after another. you kind of run out of time to set the record straight. you would give me that chance may appreciate that my venice there is i can be and i think frankly most people get it. the desire of the democrats in congress to just keep spending. we have to rein it in. >> jesse: thanks for joining us. i'm hopeful that this gets passed in the right way and let this be a lesson to republican senators not to buckle and caved to pressure. get the facts out there and stick with the issue. thank you so much, senator toomey. ♪ ♪ watters' window. i think i may have swimmers ear. i've never had it before. when i go like that, there's no water sound. nothing comes out. i am trying to do the homeopathic thing first. i'm going to go to one of those asian places where they let your ear on fire or something like

that. it's called you're canceling. they lighted with the match and it open something up. we want to try that first. then i am going to go to an ear, nose, and throat specialist. i can still hear fine but it just feels clogged. they are telling me to stop talking about my ear. it's on my mind. maybe nancy is showing off her diplomatic side for a run for the white house. that would be interesting. they could be a busy primary. just tell djokovic to show up at the seven born with a racket. our government would fly him to new york for free. frank from arizona. i wonder how "the new york times" will describe zawahri in tomorrow's paper. an islamic philosopher? parish unfortunately. steve. jesse, why don't you --
