"jesse watters primetime" starts right now. jesse? >> jesse: hey, bret. thank you. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: as i have all of a sudden said until they pre-you otherwise you have-to-a assume everyone is lying to you. trust in this country is reaching a breaking point. you can't trust the people who are supposed to protect you. and, of course, i'm talking about the government. for years, the government has been lying, hiding and stealing from you. they lied about afghanistan. the patriot act they even lied

you might not. >> but i know that it's not good. i know that they are lying to me. i know that they are lying to the nation. isn't that sad a town living in a mushroom cloud told everything is okay. kids are break out in hives. pets dropping dead. rivers are full of dead chemicals and fish. the people who should care like ohio senator sherrod brown won't even answer if he would drink the water. watch. >> should the residents of east palestine accept assurance from the government or are they right to be skeptic? >> well, they're right to be contempt. contempt. when you return home you should be tested again for the water. >> would you drink the water in east palestine. >> the mayor said emphatically that people can drink the water. >> jesse: so he dodged. he didn't answer the question. i would be skeptical, too. 500 tons of toxic chemicals turned my water collide scopic
4:03 pm
wouldn't you be skeptical if you were told to drink the water and the water looks like this? >> it's all in the bottom of the creek bed how is anyone supposed to listen to the same paye told new yorkers the air is fine after they did 9/11. people doing the tests are being sent out by the rail company whose train flew off the tracks. how is anyone supposed to trust the rail company who's sloppy handling of all of this only makes things worse. >> train derailment happened on the 3rd. they sat around on the 4th and 5th. not certain what do. but on the 6th. they made a decision to dig a hole and take all the chemicals, the liquid chemicals from the
4:04 pm
remain cars and dump it into an unlined hole, hence while we're going to have a big water issue. and they lit it on fire. it looks like a situation was mishandled on the upfront that created a worse scenario. >> jesse: you don't think people in east palestine are sitting there thinking hmmm we really got screwed here. especially after the rail company was a no-show at the town hall last week where they said they were too scared of being in the same room with the people they may have poisoned. and then just waved around checks for a thousand dollars like chump change. >> it almost angers me. it ain't about the money. it's about health. it's just -- it's almost an insult, you know. think about a thousand bucks to them is like you are giving your kid a nickel to put in his piggy
4:05 pm
bank, it's nothing. >> jesse: a thousand dollars is nothing to a $55 billion rail company. alan shaw made $8 million last year and he thinks these people can be bribed into taking a grand? shaw lives in $4.5 million house. here he is smiling in front of the mansion while people in east palestine are worrying whether or not they are going to get cancer does this look like the kind of guy people could crustth truth. in it weren't for norfolk southern alan shaw wouldn't show up to east palestine but he finally did this weekend. he said he was there for the little guy. >> i'm here to support the community if you will excuse me that's where i'm lety to head right now to meet with community members. >> jesse: how did this exactly help? he called a cloud of toxic smoke over ohio a success. >> what was his reaction when he
4:06 pm
saw the result and the cloud of smoke rises into the sky? >> frankly, that told us that there was success and that the opportunity for a much riskier event occurred because of what was in those -- what was in the railcars. >> jesse: let's bring in the mayor of east palestine and lenny kayleigh mcenany. clay ventricle. they both met with alan shaw over the weekend. trent, this guy dodged the town hall he said he was too scared to show up. he finally showed up after a lot of public pressure all week how did it go whether you were one on one with him. >> he seemed sincere it seemed like he cared. right now that's the only thing -- is it comforting? no, you know. we have to trust him right now.
4:07 pm
as soon as he does anything that we feel we can't trust i have go back to media government officials higher to me make him do what he said he was going to do. >> jesse: you tell me first of all if he does anything and we will blow it up. so, lenny, this guy as i said ran away and then he came back, was he surrounded by guys with a.r. 15s? he said he was fearful of his life. that's why he bailed on the first town hall. >> no. i mean, he wasn't surrounded by anybody like that. i feel as if he came, you know, as honest as he could, you know. i wouldn't want to be in alan's shoes, you know. there's a lot of negativity around everything right now and, for him to show face after we asked him to come down, you know that's a start. he came to the community, first
4:08 pm
responders. mayor trent he talked to myself. he gave me the time that i asked for i asked him to come oman to man and talk to me and we stood nose to nose. i thank him for that but, you know, you can't really trust any man, you know, until he proves you to. >> jesse: when you guys were nose to nose, what did you tell him? >> i lost my ear. >> say that again, jesse? >> jesse: when you guys were face to face at the meeting, what did you tell him? >> oh, first off, i told him thank you very much. and, you know, i appreciate him making time for me. i said but i also had to let him know that, you know, there was hurt in my eyes. you know, the hurt in my eyes is the hurt that i know a lot of people in my community are feeling. the uncertainty. and, you know, i told him that i can't sleep, you know. i see what's been done to my town. and his face in the middle of the night when i wake up, you
4:09 pm
know. i hope that, you know, he does the right thing, you know. it's a lot of people. a lot of great people are in great concern for further safety. i don't even know where to start with, you know, that whole process. there's a lot going on. a lot of information coming in. you have government telling you, the ohio e.p.a. telling us this. you have local officials. everybody internet giving their 5 cents, you know. i do know that he told me this won't be fixed in one day. he is going to try to fix it as quick as he can. all the information is yet to be there for people. so, i think that's where a lot of people are coming in to be concerned. so, you know, i will take his word for it and see how things play out. you know. >> jesse: i think he has to prove himself to you. and, mayor, before we let you go. you saw president joe biden over in ukraine, did that make you feel. >> i can't hear anything.
4:10 pm
>> jesse: make you feel slighted in anyway? can he not hear me? >> i got you; he asked me before we go. i can repeat he said with the president being in ukraine today, you know did, that surprise you? absolutely. that was the biggest slap in the face. that tells you right now he doesn't care about us. >> agreed. >> he can send every agency he wants to. i found that out this morning in one of the briefings that he was in ukraine giving millions of dollars away to people over there not to us. i'm furious. >> on presidents' day in our country. >> presidents' day in our country he is over in ukraine. that tells you what kind of guy he is. >> jesse: listen you two. hang in there. please let us know if you can do anything. i'm glad you are holding alan shaw's feet to the fire. hang in there, guys. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> jesse: coming up, "primetime" would like to wish you a very happy presidents' day. >> who was the first president
4:11 pm
4:13 pm
4:16 pm
>> jesse: not a single person from biden's cabinet set foot in east palestine, ohio. joe biden took a secret three-point ukraine this morning to support ukrainians and of course the cameras were rolling as he arrived to the sound of air raid sirens. [siren] ♪ >> jesse: scif war zone. it's not safe. nobody is arguing that but we let russia know biden was coming
4:17 pm
ahead of time and told him not to pull anything. so what is with the air raid sirens. even reuters saying there was zero reports of russian missiles while biden was there zero no, missiles, no tank fire. not even a weather balloon flying toward kyiv while biden was there someone was blasting air raid sirens like a sound track. the media loved it. >> biden sending a strong message of support to ukrainians as air raid sirens waltd across kyiv underscoring the very real risk involved in this trip. >> it definitely is not just your typically mission that the secret service goes from point a to point b. >> air raid sirens began wailing just before they exited the church. so it was somewhat of a tense moment. >> and the biden white house leaked to the media that the generals told biden not to go. it's too dangerous, joe. and joe said no, stand down, generals. i'm the president and i will go
4:18 pm
where i want. the independent put out this headline, quote: biden defies safety warnings and air raid sirens for moment of history in kyiv. whoa. where was this tough talking biden when the chinese spy balloon was flying all over america stealing our stuff? he wanted to shoot it down he says but the pentagon told him no. remember that? >> always my position. once it came over -- into the united states, from canada, i told the defense department i wanted to shoot it down as soon as it was appropriate. >> does this. >> they concluded -- they concluded we should not shoot it down over land. it was not a serious threat and we should wait until it got across the water. >> jesse: let me get this straight biden let the pentagon boss him around when it came to handling the balloon but when it comes to visiting ukraine, biden bosses them around and tells the pentagon to toughen up. if biden really wanted to be
4:19 pm
presidential he would be in ohio right now aiding americans. instead he is halfway around the world walking through a war zone that americans aren't even fighting in. it's never happened before. now, i sure hope joe knows what he is doing here. these are powerful images that he is definitely going to use for his re-election campaign and now we will wait and see how russia and china react to them. i know the american people would like a president who can walk and chew gum at the same time. a president who can go to ukraine and ohio and a former president, president trump will be in east palestine ohio on wednesday. lieutenant colonel daniel davis is a defense priority senior fellow. so those air raid sirens. i mean, my eardrums almost popped out of my head. >> yeah. you got think that looked like a lot of stage craft. especially when we found out just hours later that the white house had cleared all this with the russians before. so they knew that there wasn't going to be any kind of radar. you could also see that nobody
4:20 pm
even flinched when that happened. so it's almost like everybody knew that was coming. >> jesse: all right. so now do you believe this report that joe told his generals i'm going, guys. the general said no, joe, it's not safe enough and he said, guys, i'm the commander-in-chief and i'm going to ukraine. do you buy that? >> look, whether that did or not. there's no doubt that there really was some risk going in there. whether an accident or a rogue russian sniper somewhere, there was a legitimate risk. but i have got to ask, why are you taking this kind of risk when this is not where american troops are? if something goes south here or something goes sideways it's a potential war issue with u.s. and russia. there's nothing on the ground worth that kind of risk. it doesn't help ukraine. i think this was a big risk and very little reward. >> jesse: i guess it helps ukraine because no they know definitively that joe has their back and they will get as much money as humanly possible. everybody has gotten a photo op., i think ben stiller has
4:21 pm
been there who hasn't been to kyiv and stand shoulder to shoulder with zelenskyy. it seems if you are in poland, you might as well go south. >> yeah. i think that's exactly what it was. look, this didn't change anything. we were already going to give them anything they wanted whether he stopped or didn't. it just really looks like it was more of a stabled event than it was any kind of actual benefit to ukraine. >> jesse: all right. well, let's hope things resolve peacefully and we can get on with the rest of our lives back in ohio. thank you very much, colonel. >> thanks, jesse. >> jesse: crazy things going on with baldwin. biden's border chief and bernie. i work hard, and i want my money to work hard too. so, i use my freedom unlimited card. earning on my favorite soup. aaaaaah. got it. earning on that éclair. don't touch it, don't touch it yet. let me get the big one. nope. - this one? - nope.

4:27 pm
years back and now charges being downgraded. correspondent jeff paul joins us with the details. >> yes. jesse, baldwin was facing a mandatory five years now the max just 18 months if found guilty some law experts doubt if he will serve any time at all. this all goes back to a gun enhancement that was applied to baldwin's case. the only problem that law was created after the shooting on the set of the movie "rust." baldwin's attorney called the enhancement unconstitutional in a recent filing. criminal justice attorney brian claypool prosecutors probably faced public pressure to go after baldwin but he says their sloppy work could jeopardy the entire case. >> there is a very real possibility alec baldwin will do no jail time for this alleged crime because either is he going to cop out a plea deal and go on projection or got a good chance now winning this case because all he has to argue now hey,
4:28 pm
look, i was told by two different people that there was no live ammunition in that gun and i'm therefore not at fault. >> claypool and other attorneys following this case say they wouldn't be surprised if baldwin now gets a plea deal that involves some sort of community service or he might go to trial and walk away without any punishment at all. baldwin's next day in court is friday and, jesse, he could appear virtually. we will keep an eye on it. >> jesse: wow. that would be punishment to the community that he was giving community service to serve in. thank you very much, jeff. democrats must really hate the dictionary because words have no meaning to them anymore. it doesn't matter what dictionary it is oxford, merriam-webster, they don't discriminate. they can't define simple words like bill clinton couldn't tell us what the word is. >> the statement that there was no sex of any kind in any manner, shape, or form of president clinton.
4:29 pm
was an utterly false [inaudible] [broken audio] >> it depends upon what the meaning of the word is. if the -- if is means is and never has been. that's one thing. if it means there is none. that was a completely true statement. >> jesse: but it wasn't just slick wily and his trouble with is. the left can't even tell us what a woman is. >> can you provide a definition for the word "woman"? >> can i provide a definition? >> um-huh. yeah. >> no, i can't. >> you can't? >> not in this context. i'm not a biologist. >> jesse: democrats are completely obliterated the english language and destroyed the meaning of words all because they want to rewrite them to fit their agenda. and now we have a new one to add
4:30 pm
to the list. security secretary of homeland security alejandro mayorkas in charge of the border, supposedly, was asked what a secure border is. so how did mayorkas define a secure border? >> there is not a common definition of that. if one looks at the statutory definition, the literal interpretation of the statutory language, if one person successfully evades law enforcement, at the border, then we have breached the security of the border our goal is to achieve operational control of the border. >> so what is operational control of the border? not blocking people from entering the country but processing them. >> i would say that by those standards, what powerful evidence of the fact that our immigration system ask broken
4:31 pm
the vast majority have not sought to evade law enforcement actually surrendered themselves to law enforcement and made a claim for relief under our laws. the challenge, the challenge is that between that time of encounter and the time of an ultimate immigration judge's evaluation of their claim for asylum is four plus years. >> jesse: let me get this straight, mayorkas thinks letting illegals into the country, putting them up in fancy hotels and letting them stay here for up to four years before they finally get in front of a judge, if they even choose to show up in front of a judge is a success, okay. but, did he come up with a reason why all the illegals are flooding the border? >> well, it's because joe biden handled covid so well. >> right now the united states has millions the of jobs opening
4:32 pm
duer to the success of this administration. we have progressed in conquering the pandemic far more than the countries to the south of mexico. and that makes the united states an appealing place of destination for people fleeing persecution or otherwise inn. desperate need of a better life. >> jesse: so now i guess they are redefining what a successful economy means now, too. irene jackson is the border security coalition president and the wife of a border patrol agent. so that was a way with words. does remind us of what the meaning of is. how did that effect you? >> like you said before, jesse. the democrats don't believe in following what the dictionary has upheld for decades. whatever word it is, whether it is can is or border security or woman they always change it to
4:33 pm
fit their agenda you have ever heard from illegal immigrant crossing the border they come here because joe's policies have working so effectively? >> absolutely not they are coming here because in their country their government and our own government helping them get the message out, they are saying that the border is open and there is jobs for them once they get here. and they have a rude awakening not only when they get here but when they take the hard road to the united states. there is no jobs for them. they are not allowed to work and, therefore, they want to go back. but, unfortunately, right now the way our immigration system works, they cannot have a voluntary deportation unless they are from mexico. >> should mayorkas be intr intreeched? >> >> you know i hear that over and over. i have been hearing it since the beginning of january since the
4:34 pm
republicans took over. it's about time that the words actually takes some action. i always tell people don't tell me you love me. show me you love me. so i call on this congress, especially on mccarthy just put action behind your words. the people here in el paso, we're sick and tired of the nonsense that is going on in our communities. we believe that, especially legal immigrants like my parents, that followed the process, our system is not broken. our system needs to be obeyed. we, as americans, we as an american public demand the people that want to come into the united states do it the legal way. like thousands and millions of done before, including my parents. >> jesse: all right, irene. if you are in d.c. hand mayorkas that shirt you are wearing. >> i want to invite everybody to go border security coalition.com and support every effort and, jesse, thank you so much and if you ever want to come to el paso, we will welcome you with open arms.
4:35 pm
again, i'm calling on republicans to do their job, impeach him already, and let's stop the nonsense at the border. americans deserve so much more. >> jesse: all right. i will see you there with open arms. thanks, irene. >> thank you. >> jesse: america's richest socialist on tour this week. bernie selling new book it's okay to be angry about capitalism. along with $95 tickets to see him. 100 bucks to hear some guy talk about how evil capitalism is. something sounds weird about that. >> tickets for your tour apparently are selling for $95 on ticketmaster which is accused of anticompetitive behavior. you know that. some of the democrats are criticizing them. aren't you benefiting yourself from the system you are trying to dismantle. >> first of all, those decisions are made totally by the publisher and book seller. one case here in washington politics and independent bookstore charging some tickets.
4:36 pm
most of them i think are $40, $50 and get a book as well. if you want to come pay 40 bucks throw in the book for free. doing a number of free events. i don't make a nickel. >> you are okay with doing business with ticket master. >> no, not particularly. i don't have anything do do this with that. if you wrote a book. >> you have to operate in the system. >> i do. major publisher, et cetera, et cetera. >> jesse: bernie writes anti-capitalism books, works with multi million dollars publishing company and works with another company ticketmaster to sell tour dates for $100 and then says there is nothing he can do about it, it's the system. why don't you sell the books out of your trunk, bernie or why don't you just hand them out for free on your website? well, you wouldn't make your millions of dollars like you did off your last book. capitalism sure is good. so why are spoiled rich white

he didn't deserve to be slaughtered like that. >> chris would do anything. anything. he would go up and beyond for his company. he had choices to leave philadelphia. he chose to stay here. >> he is a hero. >> is he a super hero. that's what he does. chris is a hero. >> what happened to the shooter, myles feffer, after killing and robber officer fitzgerald he car jacked someone else and took off. then he called his mommy and asked her to pick him up. she brought him back to their million dollars house in the suburbs. and may have even helped him destroy the murder weapon in a fire pit in the backyard. he was arrested 24 hours later. shackled with the handcuffs of the officer he murdered. >> upon arresting the subject this morning, we had officers fitzgerald's handcuffs with him and they were placed on our suspect as we brought him back to police headquarters just a few minutes ago. so, that's a tradition that we do any time there is a fallen
4:44 pm
officer. >> jesse: the cop killer is an 18-year-old from the bushes. bush burbs.pistols in the waist. he wants beam to think he is gangster. he doesn't want you to know he lives in bucks county with mommy riding dirt bikes in the backyard. and when he got locked up, he was wearing a $200 hoodie with what looks like an anti capitalist symbol on the front. see that? he has been arrested before and his neighbors are always say they are seeing cops going to the family's house. >> you have seen police there before. >> a lot. >> buckingham township. >> buckingham township, yes, over the years. >> did that ever concern you a little bit. >> yes. i thought it was the motorcycles because they are young. they are young kids. >> jesse: so feffer is a wannabe criminal wants to look hard. goes to filly with his brother and a gun carjacking people and kills a cop. his mommy and his brother were taken into custody for questioning. and if the far left district
4:45 pm
attorney uncle larry does his job for once, this cop killer is never going to see the light of day. dana loesch is a nationally syndicated radio host. dana, what do you think it is about these wannabe gangsters from the burbs living with mom who go into the city and kill cops? >> what do i think is with them? they don't get their ass beat enough. that's what i think. there is seriously some discipline lacking in this kid's house. how are you not going to know that your two two sons are driving an hour out of the way to go and pillage and reign terror upon people in philly. apparently a crime spike and number of people able to get away with their crimes they thought they would be in the clear. but that's, i think, first and foremost the number one step. before it gets to the prosecutor, before it gets to be a law enforcement issue, this thing starts in the home. so where is mom at? and then where is dad? where is the upstanding man in this kid's home to show these
4:46 pm
kids how to be a man and how to not go out and act like a thug? i think that's the number one question. i have to say i get a little aggravated that the parents get off on stuff like this. this kid is going to fafo when it comes to prison. never going to step out free again. it's sad. four kids that don't have their dad that was doing his job and being an upstanding man for his family now he lost his life because these two kids wanted to play around and act like gangsters. it's inexcusable and disgusting. >> jesse: if you have a son and he is posting on instagram pictures with a pistol on his waist and flashing cash around like that. >> huh-uh. yeah. no. that's not going to happen in my house. no, no, no. i'm going to set it straight. how do you not know that my kid, a, they are not even on social media. >> this is a mom territoryship up in my house. i do not allow. this isn't a republic. don't get -- we don't operate under any allusions. you don't have rights in my house. you are my kid. i'm going to run it how my
4:47 pm
husband and i will run it how we see fit to run it. i don't know how you don't know what your kids are up to. it's inexcusable. it starts in the home. then i'm going to tell you what, when it doesn't get involved in the home then it's everybody else's problem. now it's the fitzgerald's family's problem. it's the state and city's problem. families after families like this where parents aren't doing their jobs. parents, you all need to get right and do your jobs and raise your kids and know what they are doing and not let them run around acting like they are thugs. this is disgusting. going to get the book thrown at him and he deserves it. >> jesse: yeah. that's the problem with this country. people's problems are becoming our problems. and that's got to stop. thanks, dana. >> um-huh. thanks, jesse. >> jesse: coming up, johnny and don lemon celebrate presidents' day in their very own special ways. ♪ ♪ ♪
