it's only tuesday. "jesse watters primetime" starts in about 15 seconds but because i have wrapped everything up, i'm going to hand it over to jesse early. you okay with the interview? >> jesse: i'm okay with the interview. i would have liked a little more physical contact. [laughter] >> bret: of course. of course. >> jesse: nicely done. thanks very much, bret. >> bret: see you, buddy. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: the best and the brightest used to run for office in america. men of achievement, war heroes, businessmen. public servants from great american families. they debated the issues and campaigned hard for your vote. you had to be on your a-game. >> hey, hey, that's my baby to kiss. >> excuse me. >> excuse me. ♪ [struggle] >> you don't take a swing at my hair. >> but everything has changed. politics isn't about persuasion anymore.

for democrats, it's about do they have enough power to pump up the ballots and drag a victim across the finish line. the let fit you are for office, the better. they will just fling you into the back of a van like you are a side of beef, like they did with hillary. but, she couldn't walk but, hey, she was a woman and that's who barack wanted to succeed him. and if you're too scared of covid and you can't get a crowd and you can't handle the press, they will bury you into a bunker and zoom you into the white house just like they did with joe. and then came along john fetterman, who wasn't senatorial timber to begin with, and then the poor guy had a stroke. took the summer off, and delivered the worst debate performance in american political history. >> here's what i think we have to fight about inflation here right now, that's what we need to fight about inflation. >> there is that 2018 interview you said, quote, i don't support fracking at all. so how do you square the two?

>> oh, i do support fracking and -- i don't -- i don't -- i support fracking, and i stand -- and i do support fracking. >> jesse: but we were told everything is fine. and john fetterman would get better. even though he couldn't hear what anybody was saying. >> we did find that in smalltalk before the interview, without captioning, it seemed it was difficult for fetterman to understand our conversation. >> walk me through why we need the closed captioning how it works. >> it's really just how things happen with me because i sometimes will hear things in a way that's not perfectly clear so i use captioning. so i'm able to see what you are saying. >> jesse: so the democrat nominee for u.s. senate barely makes sense and needs to drag around a translation machine to understand english but former president barack obama and current president joe biden

vouched for him, a quack doctor vouched for him, the media vouched for him. even though we all could see he was deficient. fetterman was their wet market, it had to be him. even fetterman knew he was busted up, but they made him lie to you. >> i don't think it's going to have an impact. i feel like i'm going to get better and better every day. and by january, i'm going to be, you know, much better, and dr. oz is still going to be a fraud. there really isn't anything that's going to stop me from doing this job. >> jesse: well, that wasn't true. as i speak fetterman is not doing his job. he has been stopped from doing his job. which is to represent the people of pennsylvania in the united states senate. where is the guy? the democrats promised would be fit to serve by now? well, that guy has spent the majority of his brief senate career checked into a hospital. senator fetterman couldn't even make it through a democratic

retreat without being rushed to the e.r. the next day fetterman's staff said his heart's fine. but what they didn't tell us was that doctors diagnosed senator fetterman with severe depression and recommended that he receive treatment. the democrats didn't want us to know that a key senator was severely depressed. but we found out days later when fetterman had to check himself into the hospital for depression. where fetterman remains today. still. over two weeks later. a u.s. senator with a bad heart and severe depression has been institutionalized for the last two weeks. with the senate, balance of power at 51-49 #. is the senate balance of power now 50, 49? nobody will tell us. his senate office tells us he's fine. they say he has been meeting with staffers and getting briefed. well, i mean, we hope that's

true, kind of. but, i mean, is that really the best way to recover? or are they just telling us that to keep up appearances? but, here's the thing. no one has seen or heard from the senator in weeks. now, usually when these kind of things happen we get a video saying hey, guys, thanks for your well-wishes, i'm feeling better. hope to be back at work soon. the philadelphia eagles made it to the super bowl and then lost on the last drive because of a controversial flag. does the senator from pennsylvania want to say something about his eagles? i mean, that's easy politics. you are an eagles fan, right, john? or what about something more serious a rich pennsylvania teenager executed a cop in cold blood last week in philly, is your office going to put out a statement about cop killers? i don't know if the fetterman office has heard but a train wrecked, toxic chemicals? ohio and tons of toxins are

wafting through the air across state lines into pennsylvania. usually senators would be holding press conferences and demanding action. president biden claims he spoke to both governors and senators of the affected states. did president biden speak to fetterman? and it's not like john fetterman is incapacitated. he is depressed. and "primetime" takes depression seriously. it can be a debilitating condition and we don't take it lightly. but the senator's depression and institutionalization is completely prevented him from functioning at all. he is not serving the people of pennsylvania at all in any way. republicans in pennsylvania are being forced to ask for proof of life. >> he is not doing his job. he has to be present to vote. he has to work on legislation. he has to interact with other senators. i want to hear from my senator. he's my senator, too. i want to hear from him. i want to know that he's okay. and if he is able to visit with

friends and families and his family, then why can't he go on camera? okay? is that too much to ask? >> jesse: well, it's not too much to ask. cnn reports that depression has kept fetterman from eating, from drinking water, and even taking care of his personal hygiene. fetterman is unable to care for himself. and the reason he was rushed to the hospital for lightheadedness is because he hadn't fed himself all day. the man has lost a significant amount of weight. look at his shirt collar in this photo. some of these photos, guy looks gaunt. the "new york times" says all of this has taken a real physical and psychological toll on fetterman, less than a year since the stroke transformed him with someone with a large stature that suggested machismo into a physically altered version of himself. i mean, fetterman used to chase blacks out of town with shotguns and now the "new york times"

reports that the senator is frustrated at times that he is not yet back to the man he once was. he also a had to come to terms with the fact that he may have set himself back permanently by not taking the recommended amount of rest during the campaign. so, fetterman didn't follow the doctor's orders. he followed the democrats' orders instead. now look at him. and now he is permanently damaged and the people of pennsylvania are down a senator. democrats may have caused a man irreversible damage in order to win a senate seat. they never cared about him. he was just a way of getting them what they wanted. power. and now that he has been institutionalized and in bed all day surrounded by doctors, they are hanging him out to dry. they say he is brave for leaving work. is he brave for going to the hospital. is he brave for saying he is depressed. the democrats put fetterman in the hospital and then they call him brave.

and no one visits him. and after john checked himself into the hospital, his wife gisele took the kids and flew to canada. >> flying over the falls. [inaudible] they are try [inaudible] >> the "new york times" reports fetterman staffers are more worried about how they are going to get him out for caucus and committee meetings and how is he going to appear at public white house events. they don't care about how he is actually doing. they care about how all this looks. they don't care about the people of pennsylvania where fetterman is supposed to be religion. they care about keeping a lid on the scandal. and that's what this is. this is a giant scandal. the democrats basically crippled this man for power. they cheated him out of his recovery. missed every sign that he was struggling, ignored every sign, lied about it, the man could be suicidal for all we know. he has been institutionalized.

he has been pumped full of drugs. pennsylvania voters are wondering if he is still alive. there has been no video of him. his office doesn't even talk about anything that's going on in pennsylvania. and we're supposed to wait and wait and wait until they lie to us again. let's bring in karl rove, he is a former white house deputy chief of staff and a fox news contributor. so, i mean, what's going on here, karl rove? >> yeah. well, first, let me say one thing about depression. it is a debilitating disease and we ought to -- our hearts ought to go out to him and we also ought to be respectful of the fact that he did ask for help. i have one disagreement and it's a big one with what you have said and that is you blame it on the democrats. i don't. i blame it on fetterman. we now know that he had heart trouble when he ran for lieutenant governor and it was not made public. we know that during the campaign he suffered this stroke, and it was him and his wife who told us

that he was -- healing and that it was their doctor who came forward and said he is going to be all right. it was they who assured us that it was only a matter of time before he was back fit and fiddle and to his 6'8" foot tallself. they lied to the voters of pennsylvania. and they knew he was gravely ill. then he his doctors told him he need rest. he decided it was more important to go out on the campaign trail and give it his all and get elected then to take care of his health and remain the father of his children and husband to his wife. so, you know, we can say that democrats made him do it, but, no, at the end of the day, this is john fetterman. now, the democrats cooperated with it. it was absolutely essential for them to keep him in the race, frankly, if they had -- if he had withdrawn, they had conor lamb in the wings. a moderate democrat who had served in the military and could have stepped in and probably

would have won. but, no, no. he could not bring himself to say my health is so precarious. >> jesse: i agree there is a lot of blame to go around. this is unsophisticated guy who was under a ton of pressure from the democrat machine being led by the very top echelon. barack obama, joe biden, chuck schumer were bringing down a lot of heat on this guy to stay in it and to cover his health up and yes, he takes the blame but they take a lot of blame, too. and now he is in an institution being monitored 24/7. >> yeah. now, look, again, i'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. i think they relied upon his assurances. he knew. he knew. >> jesse: look at the performance of the debate. you didn't need his assurances it was clear to everybody he wasn't well. >> by then it was too late. by then it may have been physically impossible to remove him from the ballot and replace him with some other candidate. but, look, a lot of blame can go around on this thing. but the fact of the matter is,

we have had instances like this where members of congress, senate and house, have been ill, but this is by itself a big difference. this happened during the campaign and is carried forward and there is no happy end in sight here. there is no happy moment where he returns to the floor any time soon, if ever. and represents the people of the commonwealth of pennsylvania. >> jesse: i feel terrible for him, for the people of pennsylvania. and for everybody that was lied to and deceived throughout this process. it's not good. we hope he is not depressed anymore and he gets back on his feet soon. thank you very much, karl rove. >> you bet, jesse. thank you. >> jesse: well, governor ron desantis is coming up. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

>> jesse: america has a serious crime problem. down there. >> no he just put a magazine in it and still trying to load it. >> oh my god he just [bleep] killed him. he just [bleep] killed him. >> this just happened in st. louis. some guy just walks up and blasts a guy in the head and stuff like this is happening everywhere. so what are we doing about it? feels like nothing. we had the '94 crime bill. remember, it got about 100,000 more police on the streets? introduced the three strike rule. you commit three felonies and you get life these tools drove down the violent crime rate for about two or three decades. but now what? people don't feel safe and they are demanding action. and the president is taking action. the president of he el salvado. just a few years ago el salvador

had the highest murder rate in the world. ms-13 and drug cartels land all over the country, terrorizing people carving them up about satanic blood loss. people were crying out for help and new president rolled in who from missed to fix things. >> crime is going up. people police. more tougher dynamics get the criminals and put them in jail. we did a lot of things army, in the streets. police force. tougher dynamics with criminals. you need law enforcement. that's very, very important. no society can say we don't need law enforcement. it's common sense. prisons here were like the headquarters of crime. so we turned that 180 degrees. and now prisons are really tough. >> jesse: instead of defunding the police the president is giving the cops more money. he is rounding up every gang banger in the country and throwing them in a mega prison. what you are seeing is 2,000 vicious criminals being

transported to el salvador's new mega prison. the new prison holds 40,000 inmates. mostly ms-13 gang members. it's believed to be the largest in the americas. and these bloodthirsty gang bangers are going to be locked up for a long time and won't be able to hurt anybody. this is how you do it. this is why crime in el salvador has dropped like a rock. president says the country hasn't had a murder in a week. now if that's true that's amazing considering el salvador which has a population the size of massachusetts recently had 65 murders in a single saturday alone. and what do the people in el salvador think? they love it. president bukele is one of the most popular leaders in the entire world. he has an approval rating in the high 80's. even little rocket man is jealous of those numbers. what a novel idea? crack down on crime. take the gangs off the streets

and people love you. well, everybody loves him but the american media. who thinks he is some sort of right wing dictator but he is a populist who is taking on corruption. maybe we should take some notes here. sean davis is the ceo of the federalist. so, there is no more gang bangers in el salvador and there's no more crime. is this the one thing we can learn from el salvador here? >> yes, kind of fascinating to watch when you apply just basic common sense about tackling crime which is you go after criminals and you put them away, wouldn't you know it? crime goes down. it's not a difficult problem to solve. you actually just have to have the spine and resolve to do it so, yeah, i think america's leaders could learn a lot from the el salvadoren president about how to tackle violent crime here. >> if you read any american media, every single thing they say about this guy is bad. they say these poor gang bangers, he is violating the gang banger's human rights.

the conditions in the mega prison they are mean and they don't have enough good food. these poor ms-13ers. >> yeah, poor babies. there is this weird thing in the leftist american media where they invert who the victims and the perpetrators are. they have decided that laws are racist and cops are racist and prisons are racist and, therefore, everyone in them is a victim of racism and therefore the victims are actually -- you know, they are the ones we need to be worried about here. the criminals. and the people who have been had violence inflicted on them who lost loved ones they are the real baddies, it's totally bizarre and odd. and, yet, they do the same thing here. just look at what they did with the blm riots during 2020 the people torching american cities and burning police stations and federal buildings to the ground. they were the victims. they were the heroes here. they just have such a messed up world view and sense of how

things work that leads them to say these and believe these stupid things about crime. >> jesse: i'm going to become an american political consultant so i can get paid on the side and i'm just going to tell every candidate arrest the criminals and you'll have a approval ratings in the 80's. just send me a check and i will tell you to do it. sean, thank you so much. >> thank you, sir. >> jesse: well, aoc goes to japan and boy oh boy what a trip she had. and, ron desantis goes onou "primetime."' go inside!

dropping ever since. what happened around that time? well, the media started lying about shootings like zimmerman and mike brown, also social media took off then and race relations have been poisoned ever since. now we have racial propaganda in the classroom. the lock down showed us what some of the kids were learning, contractor, the media said it wasn't real despite all the video evidence. so ron desantis banned crt in florida schools and now the media lies about him. if crt wasn't real how could you be racist for banning it? and the students in florida are now better off but some teachers, they missed the memo. one florida teacher ethan hopper uses middle school students as props for his little social media videos attacking the governor. watch this. >> i'm about to run up on these kids and start banning these books right away. >> hey, hey, hey, what's you all reading? harry potter? you are reading harry potter?

oh, witchcraft, got to go. absolutely not. no. i made a mistake. dictionary is a no. i shall not read books. >> i shall not read books. >> books are bad. >> books are bad. >> if i read, it's approved by the feds. >> if i read it's approved by the feds. >> jesse: so wannabe actor ethan is not just hating kids to hate their governor. watch this the teacher posted a video of white students bowing to black students and feeding them grapes. the kids are about 11 and 12 years old and they are being split by race and told to serve each other. well, actually serve just one race. and creepy ethan was put on leave and is probably going to get fired. it's pretty simple. don't teach little kids to judge each other by their skin color. don't tell kids about your sex life and don't rewrite u.s. history. but not everybody likes that. when ron desantis sheffield an

a.p. black history course, just part of it, well, even people who admitted wrote it said it was laced with crt, all of these race hustlers starting popping up out of the woodwork. al sharpton flew his private jet down to the sunshine state to get a piece of the pie. >> [inaudible] our children need to know the whole story. not to only know how bad you were but to know how strong they are. >> jesse: this is how little al-raises money for charity. the same charity that pays him a million a year and covers his limos and private jets. and sharpton has made a year out of ratcheting up racial tensions. he has been doing it for decades. >> say we are crazy? you have driven us crazy. >> right. >> 400 years of abuse. >> are you talking violence?

i'm talking what is necessary. when it was necessary, god got violent. >> most people saw him for what he was, a race baiter and a tight track suit. he would lie through his teeth and stir up a mob and burn down a city and as long as he could get on tv and plug his charity. little al-would hold companies hostage either you pay me or we call you a racist and put protester holding a sign in front of your front door. and it made him a very rich man. the guy was a joke until obama took him under his wing. sharpton was obama's shadow adviser. he was at the white house over 100 times. now, all of a sudden people started taking him seriously and as sharpton got more powerful, america became more divided. little al-even got his own tv show on msnbc. msnbc's former president who hired al-knew exactly what he was doing. >> i have been at nbc news for almost 35 years. i always tell people you want to

understand the media world? and how it's changed? you follow the life of reverend al sharpton. >> now there is an army of al sharptons across america working at newspapers and tv stations, big tech, college campuses, even public schools in florida splitting up americans instead of uniting them. ron desantis is the governor of florida and author of "courage to be free." so, governor, you got al sharpton after you. you got these teachers still not taking no for an answer, are you ready for this heat? >> well, i will tell you what, jesse, when al sharpton comes down to florida to grift off me, that's a badge of honor. so i wear that with pride. that must mean we are over the target. you are right, we basically said that schools in florida need to teach facts and teach accurate history. they should not be categorizing

students based on their race. we are not going to be spending your tax dollars to teach our kids to hate our country tore hate each other and we are proud to stand for those principles. and do you know what? those are the principles that the vast majority of people in this state want to see and you showed that chart in 2014 during oobama's second term when this started to go down hill and it's because you have some people that are trying to divide on the basis of race and that is not going for our country. >> jesse: got a lot of corporations too. they are getting involved in the race game. we know they are already getting involved in the transgender game. you had a little tussle with disney. is corporate america on notice with ron desantis as you get a bigger profile. >> my view is i have got to protect the people of florida, their freedoms, and if woke corporations are threatening their freedoms then i have to contend with that and stand up for them. for example we passed the stop

woke act ban crt in the k through 12 schools. it also gave employees a private corporations the ability to opt out of this crt training where they are basically made to self-flage late based on their race. we don't think that's appropriate. so, yes, we are willing to step up and support people's freedoms. at the end of the day, you have a right to make you're own decisions, live freely, without having the left's agenda crammed down your throat and whether that's in a school or whether that's at the hands of a multi national corporation. we're on your side, not on theirs. >> jesse: we just heard news that potentially this whole pandemic came out of a lab in china and they trotted fauci out to say maybe it could have happened, maybe my lab partner might have killed a million americans. you famously called him a little elf that you wanted to shake. have you changed your mind with fauci? >> he needs to be held accountable. the lab leak, jesse, the

lockdowns he was wrong. masks he was wrong. school closures he was wrong. he was wrong about the vax saying you wouldn't get covid if you took it. he was wrong about passports. all these different things, he and the whole bureaucracy were wrong about. and i'm proud as my term of governor and i talk about in the book we fought back against fauci and all those people on all those issues and that's part of the reason why florida is the fastest growing state in the united states and has led the country in net in migration the last four years. >> jesse: "the courage to be free" i got it a while ago i'm through chapter 2. well written. you are obviously running for president. you got the book going around the country doing these events. i mean, what's going on here, governor? >> i will tell you what, i have got -- well, i'm proud of what we have done in florida. a lot of people ask me how you do it. but i have got over the next few months i have got a big legislative session. we just won a big re-election

victory. i made a lot of promises. we are going to deliver on those promises. finish reading the book. i'm happy to come back and discuss that with you. i would like to come back over the next three months and discuss a lot of these legislative wins that we are having. for example, we're going to make sure our universities are free from this dei ideology. and that's going to be a great bill to be able to sign here coming up very soon. >> jesse: all right. well, former president donald trump definitely thinking about you. you haven't said a lot. i know you have heard what he said. you can see this collision is coming. can't you? >> well, look, jesse. i mean, you know, he used to say how great of a governor i was. then be i win a big victory and all of a sudden, you know, he had different opinions. can you take that for what it's worth. at the end of the day, one of the reasons i have been successful as governor is i don't really pay attention to a lot of the background noise. is he obviously a big fish, but i get attacked all the time from

every different angle and you either put points on the board or you don't. and so i just focus on delivering the wins and i think we have done a pretty good job of following through on our promises. >> jesse: you have done a great job in florida. thank you very much. the courage to be free. ron desantis, i'm getting through it and liking it. thank you very much, governor. >> thank you. >> jesse: well, who is getting a makeover? bond, james bond. ♪ ♪ >> woman: why did we choose safelite? >> vo: for us, driving around is the only way we can get our baby to sleep, so when our windshield cracked, we needed it fixed right. we went to safelite.com. there's no one else we'd trust. their experts replaced our windshield, and recalibrated our car's advanced safety system. they focus on our safety... so we can focus on this little guy.

>> jesse: if you watch the show you know i'm a veracious reader. books are sacred. they are historical artifacts. and lately books are coming under attack first they came for dr. suess pulling six of his novels off the shelves and last week they came from raoul abdulah banning words like fat and bald and works like james and the giant peach and willa wonka and the factory. the bind the james bond franchise announced new changes to the world's most famous spy

novel. so if they're censoring children's novels are they going to treat a spy kills bad guys. according to the publisher of they are editorring out the back people. quote. the changes to flemming's books result in depiction of black people being re-worked or removed. dated references to other ethnicities remain such as bond's terms for east asian people and bond's disparaging view of odd jobs. gold fingers korean henchman. the thing is hardly anybody knows the bond books. they watch the movies. so scenes like this are being gutted. >> me felix lighter. felix say hello to dink, dink say goodbye to felix. man talk. slap, just do as i say, will you? >> yes, james.

goldberg and clay travis and jesse watters all on the same side of an issue you are screwing up pretty big, right? that's where we are. anyone who reads we want the historical and literary context of the work in which we are reading to reflect the time it was written. that's how we build literature. this is terrifying. this is scary. this censorship can't stand. >> jesse: every book, if you open it up and can you see when it was published and if you see a spy novel published in the 1950s, you know maybe they have some outdated references or some caricatures in there that maybe were good with the times that aren't good with today do they think we're not sophisticated enough to understand this? are we being treated like children? >> are they going to have to rewrite the books to make it clear that the internet didn't exist in the 1950s when james bond was 007 that there was no information super highway? i'm joking about this. when you read a book for instance they have done this to

laura ingles wilder, too. the descriptions of what she experienced on the planes and her concerns about native americans were very real and reflected the time in which she was writing. cleaning it up for 2020 is pure madness. it's indefensible. its historical inaccurate and anti-free expression. >> jesse: if 50 years if they touch one single sentence in how i saved the world, i might be long gone but i will be rolling in my grave. clay. >> jesse, you are a young man. you will still be alive. >> jesse: maybe not. i will see you later. coming up, big, breaking news. aoc is getting a be det when covid hit, we had some challenges like a lot of businesses did. i heard about the payroll tax refund, it allowed us to keep the amount of people

aren't so friendly to the gay community. >> there was a member of the japanese administration that was caught in off the record comments making very discriminatory statements about lgbt people. it's quite shocking. i think it's fair to characterize this as pretty shocking development. >> jesse: you hear that, japan? she is shocked and she wants japan to change or else. hang a rainbow flag and put pronouns in your twitter bio otherwise we are going to take america's business elsewhere. she wants you to believe she's a brilliant, cultured person. she is appearing a little unworldly. don't go to your friend's house and insult your wife's cooking and you don't visit an ally and tell them they are a bunch of backwards yokels. the woman shattering protocol. we need japan to help us with china, north korea, and she's out there calling them bigots.
