"jesse watters primetime" hosted by pete hegseth starts right now. pete? >> pete: mike, great show. thanks so much. >> mike: thank you. ♪ ♪ >> pete: welcome to jimentd i'm pete hegseth in on this summer friday night. i know what you are thinking last night we witnessed one of the most disturbing scenes in american history. the president of the united states, joe biden, standing before a dictatorial-like background with troops standing at the ready screaming with his

fists in the air. and he called half the country a threat to our republic. >> we must be honest with each other and with ourselves. too much of what is happening in our country today is not normal. donald trump and the maga republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. >> pete: you uncle joe the guy o campaigned on saving the soul of america to him this is extremism at its peak. ♪ ymca ♪ it's fun to stay at the ymca >> pete: remember that? if you waived an american flag, chanted let's go brandon, other even danced to ymca you are an streamist. you are a fascist and you live a life of darkness and chaos. >> nation of fear, division and

a darkness. maga republicans have made their choice. they embrace anger. they thrive on chaos they live not in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies. but together, together we can choose a different path. we can choose a better path forward to the future. a future of possibility, a future to build and dream and hope. >> pete: i don't remember maga rallies being so dark. we just showed you a clip of one right there. right there. sorry, wrong side. pretty good time. i have been to many. they are a good time. a celebration of america. maybe joe biden would have been a little more convincing if he wasn't standing in front of a creepy blood red back drop out of soviet russia. you must have imagined how he felt after stargs at it for 20

minutes. [laughter] >> i'm on no sleep. no sleep. you don't know what it's like in there all night long things are creaking and cracking and that red light is burning my brain. >> you look a little stressed. >> oh, i'm stressed. >> but joe biden did deliver some news last night, we learned from him that republicans are now the party of lawlessness. i know what you are thinking. hear it from yourself. >> maga republicans do not respect the constitution. they do not believe in the rule of law. they do not recognize the will of the people. >> pete: orwellian back drop may be giving me some amnesia but i'm pretty sure he has been on the side of defunding the police. letting criminals out through bail reform. open borders. right? i guess facts don't really matter when democracy is on the line. that's why biden is calling his supporters to get tough and

stand up for democracy. [pounding] >> blood alone moves the wheels of history! it has been a lifetime struggle. pounding] a never ending fight. it is a privilege to fight! we are warriors! >> pete: come on, producers, that was, of course, the wrong clip. but it's not too far off from the real one. >> a long time we told ourselves that american democracy is guaranteed. but it's not. we have to defend it. protect it. stand up for it each and every one of us. >> pete: insurrection kind of sounds like he is calling for insurrection. is he obviously not holding it back. if you are not on his side, you're the problem. you deserve the worst. you are the enemy. and if you don't think he is talking about you, you would be wrong. his press secretary karine

jean-pierre just yesterday said if you are not on their side, you know, the right side of history, their favorite dystopian phrase you are exstrategic if we are so bad why did senator chuck schumer just spend over $3 million on the maga movement today? his super pacs have been pumping money to help america first candidates win their primaries. sounds like democrats love spending money on people they call fascists. i'm sorry, the fact checkers at cnn would like to correct the record. >> talked about a maga philosophy, a s semi fascism of maga philosophy. he didn't say republicans were fascist. >> maggie has not even said. >> did he not call them fascists. he called the maga philosophy to semi fascism. he did not call all republicans fascist. that's not true i'm sorry it's not true. >> pete: it's not true thank you, don.

we will correct the record you are just a semi fascist if you voted that way. kind of like being a semipregnant birthing person. don't worry, according to the white house, none of this at all is political. it's really all for democracy. >> if you could address the criticisms and questions about why the president delivered what sounded very much like a politically charged speech as an official white house event taxpayer funded with two marines in uniform. >> standing up for democracy is not political. >> pete: i have to say it again. we are not a democracy. we are a republic. a constitutional republic but, you know, details. democracy is the catch word they use for everything they want to get done. well, at least kjp remembered last night's speech. the president, on the other hand, seems to have forgotten everything he read off of his teleprompter. here is him today. >> do you consider all trump supporters to be a threat to the country? >> keep trying to make that

case. i don't consider any trump supporter to be a threat to the country. >> >> pete: i don't consider any trump supporters i just talked about maga republicans but i don't think any trump supporters are a threat. it's astonishing. but, can we really blame joe biden for not remembering? the highlight of his night wasn't being a defender of democracy it was getting a kiss from the misses democracy, thank you. [cheers] ♪ ♪ >> pete: which way do i turn? is this mic on. was that kiss good? everybody? we don't think joe biden had a change of heart. what joe biden said last night is exactly what the democrat

party thinks of us. former cia director michael hayden you know this said democrats -- said exactly what democrats have always thought of god-fearing americans, trump supporters, that they are more dangerous than a terrorist group. worse than al-qaeda and isis. you name it. why? well, because we love this country. you are now a fascist if you want free speech. you are a threat if you want a say in what is taught in your kid's classroom. imagine that. or if you believe in your second amendment right to defend yourself and your family. you are an extremist if you take a stand against fauci's authoritarian mask mandate and you are certainly a racist if you don't want an open border. talk about chaos or criminals running the streets. we could keep going on and on all program. you see, they call us, all of these things because we don't agree with them. they have turned the patriotic opposition into treasonous

outlaws. even if they try to deny it the next day because we stand for freedom and that's the problem. we know last night's speech was just deflection. it's the democrats and joe biden who seek to run an authoritarian regime. i stand corrected a semiauthoritarian regime. joining me now is charlie kirk founder of turning point u.s.a. and author of the great book "the college scam." charlie, i started by saying i know what you are thinking. we watched it and we are astonished. your reaction to what went on last night? great open pete. zero mention of fentanyl deaths and open border and zero mentions of china, zero mentions of inflation and zero mentions of crime but 13 mentions of maga republicans. meanwhile flanked by marines on both sides and this very creepy authoritarian visual of all red behind him on the landmark of

which our nation was founded independence hall, where the principles of america articulated into word form and it was decided to be acted upon. none of that was by mistake, pete. all of this was intentional. the message is very clear. i don't care about the well being of american people. we are going to launch an offer campaign against the opposition political party. against dissidence. people that disagree with me. he keeps on saying democracy, democracy. democracy. we are going to see a lot about that. what do they mean by that they don't mean representative government. they mean democrats in control. every time you hear democracy you should say oh you mean democrats in control because if they actually meant representative government that's the maga movement. it is grassroots. it is people centered, it is school boards. it's city council meeting. it's small dollar donations we don't have clent cratic billionaires. welders, police officers, teachers, and moms building the parents' party. anyone to embody the jerusalemy of democracy it could be the

maga movement and that's why joe biden is so afraid of us. >> pete: you put on the message. you said last night was designed to provoke. don't take the bait. regime is -- it almost feels like they want a clash and they want to use things like january 6th. entire indictment of a movement. >> everyone needs to stay calm and stay disciplined and stay peaceful. people are angry, pete. they can't afford groceries kids learning crt and president comes out to a landmark we grew up adoring and having so much respect for with all red and marines flanked saying we are the problem. don't fall for it don't take the bait. instead, let that organize. let's register more voters. let's become precinct committee men. let's win the election. that's actually what they're worried about. this is the last gasp of a dying regime. and one thing joe biden was absolutely right about, pete. is he right that the maga republicans represent a threat

to the euna party in washington, d.c. the days of ryan is over. new republican coming to washington, d.c. we are coming in record numbers. and joe biden is so worried. he is willing to use the full force of the executive branch to try to threaten us. guess what? it's only going to make us stronger. we have to remember not to fall for the bait. >> pete: you are exactly right. he gave this speech because he is so afraid of what may come should actual power obtained once the power back in the hands of the people and, you know, you labeled it, it was a tweet you put out or a statement you put out today, nothing on fentanyl, nothing on crime. nothing on inflation. yet, they are -- or china, yet they tell us it wasn't a political speech. charlie kirk, thanks a lot for all your insight tonight. appreciate it. don't forget to catch the ingraham angle tonight for more reaction to biden's speech as raymond arroyo sits down with florida governor ron desantis

reading. and 7 points in math since the start of covid-19. and the lockdown. this is the biggest decrease we have seen in reading in 30 years and it's the deepest year over year decline in math scores on record. these numbers are indeed alarming. but they are part of an even more alarming trend. efficiency in reading and math they have been on a downward slide for better part of a decade and covid made it worse. school lockdown crushed students' ability to learn. and no one had a bigger role in keeping schools closed than the president of the american federation of teachers, randy weingarten. she found-she fought tooth and nail for kids and teachers to stay at home as long as possible. and now, she is rewriting history. >> the effects of that disruption. do you have any regrets for not advocating in a more strong fashion for a faster return to

in person learning? >> so this is where i'm going to really disagree with you. i mean, i was -- i personally i have been pushing for the return to in person learning since april of 2020. could we overcome all the fear? i wish we could have. but i don't think it's anybody's fault that we didn't understand what was going on in terms of school. >> pete: april of 2020? that's a flat out lie. and lucky for us, we have the tape to prove it randy and her teacher union friends had zero interest in returning to the classroom. >> we have an obligation to make remote better because until we can really decrease community spread throughout the united states, distance learning and distance working is going to be a fact of life. >> the reason we raise the issue about as a last resort on a local basis, a safety strike

action is because we are really concerned as schools start opening in august that you got the deniers and you have got the mac thinking. >> we know people need in person learning and remote instruction is no substitute for it but it has to be safe! >> pete: she said she has been fighting for it since april of 2020. all of those collision are from july and august of 2020 they say they are about protecting the kids. if these people wanted to make schools safer who kids could return to the classroom they would have actually spent, i don't know, the money designated for covid changes in schools to make it easier to reopen? i mean, isn't that what they say they wanted all along? more money? well, get this, of the 122 billion in federal money set aside for schools, barely over 15 billion has been spent. that means almost 90% of the

covid money is untouched. i'm sure they will spend the remaining 100 billion very wisely. how many diversity, equity and inclusion advisers and investors can you hire for that? and it gets worse. they are not taking any responsibility for the damage they have caused. instead, they are passing the blame on to somebody else, and you know who they are blaming. here is what education secretary miguel cardona said this week and i quote: today's data confirmed the significant impact the prior administration's mismanagement of the pandemic has had on our children's progress and academic well-being. we must repair the damage done by orange man bad donald trump's mismanagement of the pandemic and we will. what world are these people living in? donald trump said over and over again open the school. >> got to go to school. we have got to open up. we have got to open up our schools and open up our businesses. >> i want to say get open in the fall. we want your schools open.

>> children are at the lowest risk of any age group from virus. indefinite school closures will inflict lasting harm to our nation's children. >> pete: he said what we knew kids at the lowest risk. surprise, surprise, donald trump was right all along. when we look at the big picture, the damage caused by school lockdowns is just a big piece of the puzzle. the slow motion implosion of our education system is building for decades. we are just now noticing. in my book i called it the covid 1619 moment. parents seeing what their kids were being taught in their zoom classrooms it became impossible to ignore. public schools more accurately called government schools are no olonger focusing on teaching the kids the essentials, reading, writing, arithmetic, history, civics, however you say arithmetic. poisoning young minds with sex ed shear indoctrination rich states poor states. government schools and private schools. it's serious stuff.

you might say it's a threat to our republic you can't keep a country if you are teaching kids to hate that country. the affections and affiliations of our kids are the target of the left and now those same kids can't even read rachel campos-duffy is my co-host on "fox & friends weekend" and can a rolle mark wits columnist on "the new york post." rachel, sound off. they are admitting kids are falling behind but it's donald trump's fault. >> yeah. they do not get to get away with gas lighting us on this. >> fauci biden, wolves, reaneld weingarten. all of them fought to shut down our schools. not only shut down our public schools but private schools the catholic schools. they tried to get them to shut down because they couldn't have them open proving that no kids catholic schools proved that you could do it by the way keep the

schools open. no one is going to die. by the way, they didn't need all those billions of dollars that you talked about that are now going to go to diversity and crt programs and transgender programs in our school. they didn't need that do you know who did stay open, pete? the chinese. 195 million chinese students went right back to school in the fall when they were shutting down our schools and, boy, the chinese love this our kids got, you know, their scores went down. they got lazier, they got depressed, they got suicidal, they got fatter because childhood obesity went up when you closed down the schools and locked our kids up. all of this, you couldn't -- chairman xi couldn't have thought of a better plan to undermine our future these scores are. >> they turned the virus over to us it was part of their plan. are they this cynical or do they really believe what they are saying here, the democrats? >> i think they are trying to absolutely rewrite history. the timeline is so important. i love that you called out randi

weingarten for wanting to keep schools closed in 2020 important to note she wanted to keep them closed in 2021 also. it wasn't just her. secretary cardonena, joe biden, tons of governors, tons on the left wanted to keep schools closed for september of 2021. when governor desantis my governor in florida was heading towards reopening schools. all the headlines said florida schools open as k through climb. specific motion to stop florida from opening schools. they kept schools open and proved it was possible. all of these democrats want to pretend they weren't involved in this tragedy that we are living through right now and this travesty with these scores. absolutely at their feet and randi weingarten is number one person that caused this. >> pete: we knew even they kids were not the ones effected. number one do voters remember this. >> of course they do. this is -- you talk about this awakening, 161 moment that you

talked about, it's not just what, you know, was -- they were teaching our children, but the way they wanted to torture our children, the parents who had to fight to keep the schools open, to take the masks off. parents are not going to forget this they don't get to get away with this. we certainly should keep replaying these clips as you just have done, pete, because, sometimes, they wants to rewrite history. we are not going to let them do it this time. >> pete: can a rolle, you made the move say hey we will go to florida where we know they will keep it open. >> thank you for your time. >> thank you, pete. >> pete: you got it what did the fbi take from mar-a-lago? we got a sneak peek at the full inventory coming up next. ♪ but asthma has taken enough. so i go triple... with trelegy. with 3 medicines in 1 inhaler,... it's the only once-daily treatment for adults that takes triple action against asthma symptoms.

detailed list of what the fbi seized from president trump's home as she continues to deliberate whether or not to appoint a special master to review trump's files. so what did the fbi take? well, a lot of reading material, a whole bunch of books, over 18 pieces of clothing or gift items more than 1500 magazines newspapers, the president like to have those. they also took over 90 completely empty classified on them or concern return to staff secretary military aid. they seized over 11,000 pictures and documents with no classification marks on them and we already knew about the supposed secret top secret confidential documents they took that weren't stored to their liking all of which may have been classified by president trump. look at that staged photo the doj released tuesday the one that the liberal media loves oh so much.

the walls are closing in are. the information we learned today not the we know it was a general search warrant. actually what the doj says about their investigation into the filing release. the doj wrote that they have already evaluated all of the items they seized, they are now looking into the much further in a much more detailed manner in order to develop, quote, additional evidence as part of the ongoing grand jury probe. why they were really there. the presidential records law was just a predicate to enter mar-a-lago. the doj is now scrubbing through the items looking for new evidence. there's other investigation that they need evidence to find they used the national archives to access mar-a-lago but they were interested in finding something else. what could that be? brett tolman is a former u.s.

attorney and right on crime executive director. what were they looking for? they released the detailed manifest of what they have yet they also admit they were looking for other things. what does that mean in your mind. >> yeah. you can see clearly that the department of justice is losing the pr battle. so what do they do? they bring out what they often do when they are behind, they bring out pictures that might inflame those that already hate donald trump. they bring out the perp walk type mentality. pictures of the classified cover sheets. when you back away from it and look at it. it screams of a case where they had an overbroad search warrant. they gathered everything they possibly could, they don't have clear guidance of what they're looking for. i think they are looking just for everything they possibly can because they are afraid of donald trump running again in 2024 they admitted it special

master someone should go through this and determine what should be applicable to the warrant and what has been ceased so they could look at other things. today on our network, bill barr, a former attorney general said that appointing a special master is just a red herring, is it a red herring or a serious step to try determine determine what actually happened. >> i'm glad you brought up the general warrant. this is in fact a general warrant. it's constitutional. that argument is going to be made. a special master is an objective third party not involved in the litigation and not part of doj. >> that's why you see the department of justice fighting against it. it's unusual for sure. the attorney general barr is correct. that it is -- it's unexpected. he turns a red herring, but i think it's a little more troublesome forever for the department of justice. they don't want someone else having insight into what they are looking at and having a different opinion. they are used to controlling the

narrative. >> pete: they didn't expect this. they are used to controlling the narrative. by the way, this is a former president, so they are forced to show the goods. and this is what struck me about what came out today. they rereleased the manifest. admit they are scrubbing it to look for additional crime. that's effectively what they admitted they are doing. >> yeah. i mean, pete, it's not the flex that they think it is. when you usually see a picture of stacks of cash and drugs and weapons, you know, it can inspire you to think that your law enforcement is really taking down a bad guy. here, that's not what we are looking at. we are looking at random documents, empty folders, on an individual who was absolutely entitled to look at anything he wanted. and, oh, by the way, he can declassify classified material. so this is different than a regular citizen and i have worked on cases where they possessed unlawfully classified material. this is not that case.

>> pete: our orders are clear. comply. it appears the white house message was received loud and clear by big tech. in fact, people at facebook were eager to help. there's a good example. this email obtained by fox business.com. a facebook official tells surgeon general vivek murthy quote i know our teams met today to better understand the scope of what the white house expects from us on misinformation going forward. expects from us? it sounds like they are emailing their boss and in some ways probably felt like that. biden says jump. zuckerberg says how high? it didn't stop there they are even censoring memes. the white house covid response digital director asked facebook fake page impersonating fauci and even got a reply within seconds. if i were to forget my face book password it would take them a week to get back to me or you.

the white house is already playing defense on this story claiming these communications between facebook and the white house started during the trump administration. but who is really believing that? louisiana attorney general jeff landry joins you now to walk us through his court filing. attorney general, walk us through that court filing. what are you attempting to expose here? >> what we are attempting to expose is basically that the government infringed upon citizens and others who were disseminating that information fir first amendment right. so let's use this as an example, if you were a police officer and you believed there was criminal activity at a house but you didn't have probable cause to to be able to get in that house to get into that house. their neighbor now becomes a government actor, right? >> sure. >> that warrant would basically fall on its face.

because the person wouldn't have probable cause. it wouldn't hold up and there would be no due process. it's the same thing with the first amendment. and that's what we are getting ready to test i really believe this could be one of the most important cases in american history. people when i said this back in june, some people said oh, there is no way. another opportunity for republican attorney generals to attack the biden administration. no, this goes down to the bureaucracy of the federal government basically using the power of the federal government to coerce big tech into censoring americans and whether it would be the hunter biden laptop or whether it be all of the pandemic information that people are trying to get out there, suppose we find out there is information out there that big tech censored that could have saved americans' lives? think about that. >> pete: we know there we know

there is. you are saying when big tech companies work as an arm of the government, they lose their protected status as neutral platform. >> that's exactly right. they no longer can put up this thing i'm a private actor. i can control things on my plat form. when the government basically tells you i need you to go do something and then you go do it, you no longer have that shield. you become a government actor. and that's what this case is about. what was remarkable was the ability for us to actually get over the discovery on or about stack and when we were able to -- when the judge allowed the discovery to happen and then starting to flood discovery. the things that we started to find were really astonishing. it was things that we believed. really hoped it wasn't true, but it is. and americans on either side of the aisle should be concerned.

because this basically says that whoever is in control of the government can censor information to american citizens. i mean, this is completely unamerican. >> pete: very quick, attorney general, they claim it started under the trump administration. have you seen evidence of that? >> well, i have not, to my knowledge, we haven't. but, you know, let me close with this. abraham lincoln once said you can fool some of the people all of the time or all of the people some of the time but you can't fool everyone all the time. and i think this is exactly what's being exposed today. a lot of us said that the government was censoring information. we were basically laughed out of everywhere we went in saying think what we find that a prima facie evidence in its discovery, the government censoring americans. >> pete: keep us posted, as always, they get caught trying to blame trump. but you are doing the heavy lifting. attorney general jeff landry appreciate your time. all right.
