with hutch as well. that's pretty cool. seven years later. tomorrow, on "special report," we will talk to arizona democratic senator mark kelly about the border crisis and other issues. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that is it for this "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid. "jesse watters primetime" starts right now. hey, jesse. >> hey, bret. thank you. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: protests are a big part of american history. this country started with a protest. the boston tea party. it sparked the american revolution. peaceful protests are so important that they are protected by the first amendment. women protested for the right to vote. mlk marched on washington with a quarter million people behind him. the civil rights act was past the next year. in the 1960s and 70s college camcampuses were packed with students protesting the vietnam war. some protests were peaceful.

some were violent and some turned deadly. >> william was killed in the confrontation between national guardsmen and students protesting the war in vietnam at kent state university. joe lewis was shot twice that day as was allen both survived and feel it necessary to remember the four who died understanding it could easily have been them it was a tense time troops coming home called baby killers. might be ripped out of a classroom and september to a jungle. they protested civil rights, women's rights, antiwar. these movements changed the course of history. today college kids want to be in the history books too. but they don't know what to protest. segregation is illegal. there is no draft and women have more rights than us sure, there's problems, crime, fentanyl, chinese balloons. but these kids don't care about any of that so they protest words pronouns and isms. lock themselves in a building

for 10 days, why? because they wanted more money for the quote division of institutional equity and insolution. i don't know what that means. i know what make love not war means but not that. at stanford university the diversity dean, yep, that is a thing. teamed up with students to heckle a judge. the judge was an invited guest. why did they heckle him? well, because the judge misgenderred a pedophile who transitioned to a female so he could go to a women's prison and assault more people. >> so you have invited me to speak here and i am being heckled nonstop and i'm just asking for. [shouting] your racism is showing. >> jesse: not all protests are peaceful. at the university of california mostly peaceful prefers tried to shut down charlie kirk under attack what do we do? >> whoa, hey.

[scuffle] [bleep], [bleep] [bleep] shut the [bleep] up. [screaming [bleep] antifa mixed in with the students. shot pepper spray, lobbed rocks and tried to ram through a glass door to get at kirk. a police officer was jumped and then thrown to the ground. but the event went on. >> they broke some windows, the terrorists did outside to try to come in. people had things thrown at them. the whole place was spray painted. tonight is a statement to them that they're the losers and that speech wins in america. >> jesse: so why were these protesters so mad at charlie? was charlie trying to send them to war in vietnam? segregate them, deny them the right to vote? no, they were protesting charlie kirk because the media told them

charlie kirk wanted to lynch trans people. the sacramento be, a local paper out there wrote this, quote: charlie kirk has called for the lynching of trans people. a comment that should warranted the cancellation of his speaking engagement at uc davis. then the head of the university doubled down, listen. >> many of you have reached out to me and others regarding tonight's event organized by registered student organization turning point u.s.a. or tpusa at uc davis. thank you for sharing your distress as student group hosting a speaker who is a welling-documented proponent of misinformation and hate. and who has advocated for violence against trans gender individuals. >> jesse: "primetime" knows charlie and that doesn't sound like something he would say. so we looked around and we couldn't find charlie saying he wanted to lynch anybody, trans people, anybody. but the sacramento bee says charlie said it here. now, charlie was talking to riley gaines, a division one female swimmer who didn't feel comfortable swimming against the biological man and not only

swimming against a biological man but changing in front of. >> the ncaa allowed us as female athletes to not even just allow, they encouraged us as female athletes to participate in lia thomas' sexual arousement and lia thomas' fetish. we had no idea we would be sharing a changing space with someone who was fully intact with male genitalia. >> i blame the decline of american men. this should have never been -- you should have -- somebody should have just took care of it the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s or 60's. but as you have -- have testosterone rates go down and men don't do anything, then who is to say. obviously we have never advocated for violence on this program nor is that not the answer. and i encourage everyone to remain peaceful. >> jesse: i didn't hear charlie kirk say we should lynch trans people. did you? i heard charlie kirk say back in the day we used to have real men

stand up for what is right and not allow biological men to swim against girls and get naked in front of them in the locker room. well, we pushed the sacramento bee to explain themselves and it looks like the sacramento bee never even watched the video. so they retracted it. quote: some trans advocates on social media extrapolated from charlie kirk's comments that he called for trans people to be lynched, an accusation the bee repeated but a review of the video shows that kirk never advocated for trans people to be lynched. in fact, he strongly denies the accusation. these notes have been added to the column, the bee regrets its comments and we apologize for any misunderstanding the earlier version may have caused. so a liberal newspaper didn't do their jobs as journalists and published hateful lies about a public figure and incited a riot. charlie could have been hurt. an officer was hurt. and a ton of property was damaged. the sacramento bee needs to apologize for that, too. reckless journalists are riling

unangsty college kids for cash, basically and these college kids are so tender they read the paper and think it's true. and instead of protesting, the students should be partying. all right? why are you screaming at charlie when you should be on spring break socializing and soaking in the sun? vitamin d is good for you. it helps with depression and stabilizes your mood. follow the science. antifa can use a little of that. spring break kicked off this weekend in florida. the students listened to "primetime's" travel advisory and are staying away from mexico. ♪ everybody go up ♪ >> jesse: now "primetime" is not saying these kids are making good choices but they are saying their choices are better than antifa's. you go to spring break blow off steam. students hitting the gym beforehand. saving money for booze and hotel rooms. they have goals well at least for a week they do. if they set a fire it's probably

because they forgot to use an ashtray not because they threw a molotov cocktail. if they punch a cop it's probably because they are drunk not because they want to defund. they do damage in the name of partying. spring breakers aren't perfect but antifa could learn a lot from them. take off all the black, get some sun on your chest and make love, not war on charlie. let's bring in charlie kirk. founder and ceo of turning point u.s.a. and host of the charlie kirk show. so, charlie, let me give you an opportunity to explain what you meant when you said during that podcast, you know, back in the 50's and the 60's because that's what they took out of context. >> yeah. and i clarified it later in the show if they actually listened in the 50's and 60's local law enforcement wouldn't have put up with that they wouldn't have allowed a biological man to go in a female locker room and expose himself. that's it. i explained myself in great detail. and an internet rumor unsubstantiated said that i wanted to lynch trans people based on that video. the internet rumor that was seen by 5 million people on twitter and then the sacramento bee

never actually watched the video and then they repeat in the op-ed. the chancellor of the school as you said repeats it again and then a riot happens and a mob gets extremely violent. the issue here, the core issue is that these college campuses, we know they have become radical and no longer places of free speech but a speaker on american college campus if you want to come and talk about free speech and american values it should not be a danger to fellow students or to the speaker. over 100 police officers were there last night. that mob was there to try to do violence and the chancellor who has a duty to tell the truth and represent the students did the exact opposite. and it's really too bad. it's tragic, jesse, that when you go to a college campus, you have to experience a quasimilitary war zone. this is not just at uc davis. we are seeing it on stanford in a separate way but with that kind of radicalism. i'm glad last night the event went off peacefully. despite all the damage, vandalism and spray painting and

i say that only because someone could have gotten hurt. somebody could have gotten hospitalized because of the lies of the media. yes, we are considering legal action because they deliberately and materially lied about my statements. >> jesse: yeah, you should take action against the bee and that chancellor is a buffoon. he is saying you promote disinformation. he just promoted it on that video that he did. wouldn't you like to see antifa maybe just take a week off and go to panama city beach or go to fort lauderdale? i mean, enough with the drama, guys. have a drink, get in the pool and lighten up. >> you know, i think you are on to something about the vitamin d. it finally makes sense why antifa is so depressed and angry they are covered head to toe in military style gear. like maybe if they let themselves out. sun's out, guns out a little bit. actually get some vitamin d arched get happier out there. you make a great point. why are they so angry? they live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the world. what injustice are you protesting and what is sick and

manipulative have you these reporters that almost enjoy it. they manufacture a synthetic mob to go after a speaker they don't like based on lies and based on falsehoods. we have been looking for quite some time. where did this woke idea pathogen come from. there has been a lot of talk about lab leaks in the last couple weeks we now can say without a doubt that the idea of shutting down speakers and awful ideas ideologically leak from college campuses and impact the rest of culture and society. >> jesse: you nailed it. they are creating fake injustice so they can protest it because there is nothing else that they can do. all right, charlie. thanks so much. glad you survived. >> thanks, jesse. >> jesse: the antifa mob. see you at spring break. johnny is going down there. so behave. how did the fake indian guru from a fake hindu country scam over 30 american cities? ♪ (bridget) with thyroid eye disease

>> jesse: last time "primetime" brought you the story of kailasa. the island off the coast of south america. where you give your areasonable sans of hinduism. spree education and guru 24/7 at your disposal. as the of late the island kailasa becoming sisterhood cities around our country places like newark, new jersey. there's one problem here. kailasa doesn't exist. >> it had all the makings of a diplomatic ceremony newark mayor wras baraka along with the unitd states of kailasa signing a cultural trade agreement to become sister cities in january. kailasa calling a bilateral agreement with the united states

of america. so you might be wondering where is the united states of kailasa? turns out? it doesn't exist. the guru with dozens of videos on a youtube channel documenting his teachings claims he left india in 2019 to seek protection. >> i have immunity of non-prosecutable. and immunity and protection of the state. >> he was arrested there years earlier accused of sexual assault charges by five women who say he abused them at a religious retreat. local reports say he appealed the charges and eventually fled india. >> jesse: the city of newark, new jersey got duped into signing a cultural agreement with a fake nation led by a serial rapist. newark didn't scratch heir heads wait a second where is kailasa? what kind of language do they speak? no one was even curious. all they needed to hear is that it's a hindu nation off the coast of ecuador. even newark voters are

embarrassed and it kind of takes a lot to embarrass them. >> i think it's embarrassing that he didn't do his background research before entertaining them. >> jesse: wasn't just newark, new jersey as promised last night "primetime" did some digging we are finding out the supreme fake pontiff of hinduism has a long list of cities he has duped. according to the state of kailasa's website there have been over 30 american cities that have signed a cultural partnership with the fake nation of kailasa. cities from richmond, virginia to dayton ohio to beaten that park, florida all over the map. look. "primetime" did our due diligence. we'll listened to don lemon and we googled it and reached out to a bunch of these cities and asked did you sign this? and so far most of the cities have confirmed these proclamations are, in fact true. jacksonville, north carolina told us, quote, our proclamation with kailasa are not an endorsement, they are a response to a request. and we do not verify the

information that is requested. so, cities. if someone wants a proclamation someone gets a proclamation they will say you are exotic hindu island and name a street after you. it's just not mayors or city councils. the people running the federal government are falling for it, too. according to the pontiff of hinduism two members of congress have given kailasa special congressional recognition one of them is congresswoman nor that tores represents rancho kook honda. she is on a very powerful committee. the people who decide what we spend our tax dollars on just got duped by a fake country. it's not just democrats. both sides of the aisle, republican troy ball duerson from ohio also presented his divine holiness and pontiff of hinduism congressional recognition. now our congressman may not have

graduated from college. google it. all you need is five minutes to realize kailasa is fake. if you go to their website aside from all the spiritual videos the first thing you see is an application for a free and quick calais is aen p passport. all you have to do is a quick crash course on the history of kailasa and we made johnny do it. and for the first time in prime time history we are proud of johnny. not only did he learn to say hi in kailasan johnny got his passport and took him five minutes. a dual citizen of kailasa. fly to the nation, another nation that doesn't exist. johnny has dual citizenship. but no one in the government was curious. literally no one said wait a second, maybe we could vet this person. at that level does someone say wait a second, this looks fake. we are being governed by imbeciles idiots who won't ask a

question. asking questions is a no-no. remember? they call you a conspiracy theorist if theorist if you ask a question about the lab leak or what's on the laptop. they will just clap and salute when they hear a hindu nation is coming to town dana perino is my co-host on the five and she joins me now. this could be worse. there could be senators involved. >> dana: might be. >> jesse: what is the vetting that goes on in government? >> dana: i found this story a little bizarre because i have a healthy dose of paranoia and skepticism when it comes to anything that somebody is asking of me, i think of myself as a staffer as a congressional staffer. i worked at doj, worked at the white house. if a request comes in from someone i always assume this is going to hurt me somehow so how? and then you start digging around and looking into it a little bit. having a healthy bit of paranoia really is good. now, i thought it was just going to be democrats. because being a democrat means

you don't have to be paranoid because the media covers all the time. now you tell me there is a republican that did it. >> jesse: do you think people are so into being welcoming and global citizens that -- i mean this is like falling for the nigerian email scam except nigeria is a country. >> dana: on some of these things they are not asking for money. they are asking do you want to be friends? sure i will be friends with you, right? there was nothing at stake. so the newark signing ceremony what does he think newark is going to get out of this? if you can't find it on a map. if you don't google it and if you do google it and google has never heard of it then you should be a little more skeptical. >> jesse: do you think money ask is the next step. >> yes. he is a con artist. we know is he a con artist because, one, is he running from the law. pretty engenius to set up your own nation to say you are immune from any prosecution.

>> jesse: it does legitimize you. what does it say about the people that govern us or the people we elect that, you know, we used to have the best and the brightest. remember we always had the best and brightest leading this country and then what was that famous quote like i would rather be governed by the first 100 people open up in the phone book. but, i don't know, dana. i might not be governed by anybody. >> dana: well, this would lend to that theory. one, people are moving too fast and they want the easy thing. request comes. in you want to be friends? sure i will be friends with you. what do i have to do. fine i will do a letter of recommendation. i would imagine that the congressman, republican never saw. this congresswoman never saw. this this is a staffer and chief of staff saying that's fine, whatever. >> jesse: we are going to blame the staff here? >> dana: i do think there is that desire to be friendly with other nations, especially oh, wow, the hindu nation. we want to be inclusive, we want to be multi- multi-cultural. we want to be accepting and it

came back to bite them in the rear. >> jesse: very accepting of johnny. >> dana: do you think he will come on to do an interview. >> dana: i bet he does it. >> jesse: only allow him if he comes on with no shirt and gels. >> dana: i'm glad that's not a requirement of all your guests. >> jesse: that's true we could get in trouble. dana perino, thank you very much. in san francisco they are now singing for reparations. ♪ it's no mystery ♪ just check the history ♪ i've been working on some cases ya know, if you were cashbacking you could earn ♪

the crisis inside ukraine has reached a catastrophic level with the elderly jews pushed to the very limit. go inside! she's freezing cold! there's no electricy no heat, no water. winter is now a weapon of war used against the elderly the mothers and the young children.

they've been lined up here for hours. these are precious people who are hungry. they have nothing! if someone doesn't do something soon a humanitarian disaster is coming! so many jewish people who are just waiting. waiting for someone to care enough to pick up the phone. fears are growing that without an emergency full-scale response thousands will die this winter. the international fellowship of christians and jews needs your $45 gift now to help rush a winter survival box filled with food, medicines and other life-saving supplies for elderly jews and families in ukraine. they've felt the shaking of missiles. these are people who have already endured so much suffering and disaster. the fellowship has been here and across the former soviet union for decades. but the need has never been more urgent.

reparations in committee got a whiff of the spending and now is demanding $5 million to every black resident. $5 million. in a city and state that never had slavery. ever. and the people are singing for it. >> ♪ but it's no mystery ♪ just check the history ♪ i've been working with some cases ♪ what's going down, down in this town ♪ black population is going down >> jesse: i would sing for 5 mill, 5 mill isn't enough. the reparations crew also wants you to pay off all their debts, credit card, mortgage, student loans if you owe back taxes or any taxes wiped. and they want a guaranteed salary of $100,000 a year for the next 250 years. i guess that means when you die

your estate keeps getting paid. also, if you want to buy a new home, all new homes in san francisco cost $1. that's right. $1 a home if you are black. and there are no limits on how many homes you could buy. you could get a home for less than a happy meal. sorry, the people have spoken and they want reparation. >> it would change fundamentally everything. everything martin luther king was looking for was nothing, was wrapped up in one word, reparations. >> what i ask you to do is for you to stay the course. don't punt out or give into pressure. i have seen you cave under pressure. you are all capable of greatness. please stay focused, stay the course and the can the check. >> this society takes from the black community and doesn't always include us. so that's why we need reparations. that's why we need reparations. i end with that charles souter land. long live charles sutherland. >> jesse: i don't know who charles sutherland stay the course and cut the check.

how are we going to pay for it? >> i think part of the challenge here is for folks how are we going to get paid into this the question is why we need to do this. >> jesse: it's not about the how it's about the why. but, if it is about the why, and we got to cut the check, don't punk out, somebody needs to figure out the how so we tried. we did the math because san francisco won't. and lehr it is. let's say every black resident in the city is eligible. right? it would cost the city $2 billion, $200 billion. 200 billion. that's like half the pentagon's budget. and we are not even including wiping away the debts and cutting their taxes so what would the city look like if 45,000 black san franciscans had 200 billion in cash and buying everyone's home in the city? the chair of the reparations committee eric mcdonnell says the 5 million is actually low

considering what black san franciscans have gone through in a city that never had slavery. somebody is going to have to pay for it. what will it cost for the nonblack families of san francisco? are you ready? each nonblack san francisco family has to give $600,000 to the task force. i'm sorry, but that's the law. even if you just moved to san francisco. even if you just moved to america. even if you your great grandfather was abolitionist you still owe the task force 600 gs. >> you call the city hall ♪ i call it silly hall ♪ i'm going to tell y'all why ♪ because i have been [inaudible] >> jesse: offer the sphrafer michael shellenberger joins me now. is this a real serious thing they are debating san francisco city hall? >> well, unfortunately it is. and i think what is so disturbing about it is they are obviously coming up with this

ridiculously large amount of money they are demanding for reparations knowing that people will push back against it. but the underlying problem is that new forms of racism are the wrong response to older forms of racism olympics whose ancestors more oppressed as you mentioned california was a free state. they embraced you from around the world. a lot of different people were mistreated latino immigrants, asian immigrants, how are you ever going to resolve whose ancestors were more mistreated the sickening part of the proposal, jesse, they are proposing be made on the basis of genetic trauma. ridiculous idea all african-americans whose ancestors enslaved now biologically genetically damaged from experience. that's wrong victimhood mentality instilled among kids. this is really the opposite of what martin luther king talked about in terms of focusing on

the content of our character rather than the color of our skin. is he rolling around in his grave tonight at the prospects of his nightmare being realized in san francisco today. >> jesse: you are saying in napoleon basically wind the floor with my european answer says tores that i have trauma and i need to be compensated by the people of france. is that the line of thinking? >> it's racist every level. race craft. it's pseudo scientific. this is not who we are as a country. this is not what martin luther king wanted. you know, we had put some of these issues to bed in the 1990s. there was a brief period there where gen xeres wanted to move beyond this stuff. it's sad to see it come back in a place that really for so many people, black included has represented liberation for them to go and want to basically impose a half million dollars or

more tax on nonblacks to pay for black reparations a horror show. something everybody should condemn. >> jesse: if it goes through, mike, you are out $600,000. i'm sorry. the banks out there having some trouble. you might be in financial straits. good luck. this never would have happened if you were the governor alas, michael shellenberger, thanks so much. >> appreciate you, thanks, jesse. >> jesse: remember jussie smollett the midnight foot long lover? here is the body cam footage we got a while back. paper mache noose he got from the craft store. in the middle of fabricating a hate crime on hisself. hired the two nigerian body builders to yell racial slurs and beat him. the two brothers recently went on fox nation and walked us through jesse's entire plan. >> i remember, man, we was in character the whole time. i was in my bubba character.

$500. what makes you think you are going to give us 1 million? >> jesse: turns out chicago really was a maga country. more like snitch nation. coming up, benjamin hall risked it all to cover the war in ukraine. losing his legs in the chaos. his details on his road to recovery next. my mental health was much better, but i struggled with uncontrollable movements called td, tardive dyskinesia. td can be caused by some mental health meds. and it's unlikely to improve without treatment. i felt like my movements were in the spotlight. ingrezza is a prescription medicine to treat adults with td movements. ingrezza is different. it's the simple, once-daily treatment proven to reduce td that's #1 prescribed. people taking ingrezza can stay on their current dose of most mental health meds. ingrezza 80 mg is proven to reduce td movements in 7 out of 10 people. don't take ingrezza

[inaudible] [gunshots] [screaming] [sobbing] [gunfire] >> multiple casualties are being reported as ukraine, again, is accusing the kremlin of targeting civilians. >> benjamin hall joins us live from kyiv with more on the russian assault. benjamin?

>> ben: yeah, pete, ainsley good morning. in the background we heard a very large bang. taken four days to get this far. the u.n. says 120,000 have fled the country feared it could raise to 5 million if the russians continue their push in this westward direction. it is getting harder and harder to get out of ukraine at the moment. in many cases you don't need tickets anymore. you have to get on the whatever train you can. the once bustling streets. people don't come out anymore except for food and supplies. everyone knows that the russian invasion is coming. the people here will not roll over. they won't back down when the russians arrive and the russians are not far outside the city. >> for so many different reasons. a true catastrophe. greater than the one we are already seeing. >> jesse: throughout benjamin hall's career his mantra to get the story you have to take the risks, sometimes enormous risks and for ben no risk was too big. so when fighting broke out in ukraine ben rushed head first into a war zone. through his bravery and dedication he brought the

horrors happening in kyiv to our nation's tv screens every night. but ben's work wasn't without sacrifice as he lost a leg on one side and a foot on the other. also losing sight in one eye after a russian missile strike. ben never let that stop him though and refused to surrender to his injuries. the story of ben's recovery will be featured in sacrifice and survival a story from the frontline. the author of "saved" a war reporter's mission to make it home, benjamin hall joins me now. when you hear all that explosive activity that we just led in with, does that freak you out? >> it doesn't. for many years covering wars i thought it might. and talking about 10 years ago i came back from somalia particularly brutal and spent a while having difficulty sleeping. i have since been able to turn that i'd off. when you go to work you put aside your fears and focus on the story. no, i'm lucky i haven't brought that home with me. i'm lucky i don't suffer the ptsd some people do. >> jesse: if you have anything

symptomatic like that gutfeld can give you something. when you were initially hospitalized you kind of came to for a moment. you have talk about this in the book. and you thought you were behind enemy lines. >> the first thing i thought because when the car saved me the last i heard was passed away saying it's the russians. i woke up the next day life-saving operations and i assumed i was in russia. i assumed that the patient lying opposite of me was a russian spy and bed sheets are moving and i thought he had a gun pointed at me. someone was shouting at me holding my state department press card who are you? who are you? my immediate thought we are in russia. i'm in the middle of a spy movie and i have got to escape somehow. i was thinking i can't crawl but i'm going to find a way home somehow. turns out that i was in ukraine. i was saved by americans who came in to get me. there was that first moment i thought well, this has just gotten a lot worse. >> jesse: our friend sarah did a great job coordinating that, also. other people within the

organization. when you are now back stateside and have you sustained some injuries and you hear people debate about ukraine and funding. how does that make you feel? >> yeah, it's an interesting debate at the moment. there is a fair amount of growing talk will that there is a lot of money going to ukraine how long should that continue for. for the people on the ground they think that needs to continue until russia is pushed out of the country. in the journalist i stand in the middle and tell both sides of that story. but, i think putin is waiting for that is he waiting for a few years to pass now. is he waiting for western involvement to cease and then i will take think he will take it another go to take over the entire country. >> jesse: are you ageneral lynn junky. this was not your first rodeo. tell me what inspires you to get out there. >> i like adventures and stories and seeing things other people haven't that's driven me from the beginning of this job. important for the journalist as well. i can't tell you the right story about what is going on in ukraine unless i have seen and been there. when you have told stories from war, it's very hard to find

stories that march up to that you know, so once have you done it a few times. it draws you back. in it can be addictive i have had to do it time and time again. love it but be careful when you are doing it. i have learned how dangerous that can be. >> jesse: i loved your book here it is.

bit it off. when cops showed up, they decided they weren't going to take chances. we got to warn you, this is a little graphic. all right. i didn't think we were going to show that much of it. i'll be just fine looking at the cabernet flavored jacket. >> this guy looked like a mall guy who couldn't be hired. thank you for even tolerating it. let me tell you what's going on. that's circlesville 25 miles south of columbus. my wife is from that area. it's making me rethink things. she's taken me to see if zebras in the past. i think she's trying to get some life insurance money. >> jesse: feed the zebras with me. walk through the streets of san francisco. >> i have a theory on this,

waters. animals hate humans now because of the smart phone. we are always taking pictures. we're always shooting videos. this poor farmer was probably the victim of zebra aggression because they mistook him for some type of annoying influencer. used to be if you were an animal you stood in the field and got honked at twice. >> jesse: you're thinking the farmer was taking selfies with the zebra and lost an arm. >> he was clearing brush. okay. >> jesse: i'm sorry to peta because that video was a little much. we all heard of biden's war on gas stoves. old joey not stopping there. biden wants to stop climate change by taking on washing machines. okay? the way he's going to do it is by requiring washing machines to use a lot less water. what is this gonna do to your clothes, jimmy? your clothes, to be honest with you, need as much washing as possible. >> that's true. most get confiscated by the fashion police.

>> jesse: you raren't going to e walking out here. >> this is a scam. it's going to require possibly a second wash. think about this. remember when they banned supersized fries so all the fat people like me just brought two larges? they're banning super size water. >> jesse: i don't think a lot of house wives and house husbands will be okay with that. we had someone who's left us. even after a decade of marriage, the second gentle man can't seem to find the right words to describe his wife. >> what do you think is the most surprising thing about vice president harris? that people out there don't know. >> that they don't know? >> and that you can say on this stage without us both getting in trouble. >> she's like normal. she's exceedingly normal. she's an awesome wife. she loves to have fun. she loves to cook. she loves her family.

>> that's concerning body language. if you watch the rest of the video, she closes his eyes and chanted to himself three times. she's an awesome wife. she's normal. >> jesse: is that the best he can do? >> he wouldn't even look her in the face. >> jesse: he said my wife likes to cook. what do we know? she's normal. she belongs in the kitchen! that's what he wanted the american people to know about kamala. she's not crazy. oh, man. after he kissed joe biden and that interview, he's in the dog house. >> kisses his wife with a mask. don't ever forget that. >> jesse: thanks very much. we're still on the hunt for the footage of my hiccupping producer that's on the scooter with the helmet on. again, we have a hiccupping male producer who rides a scooter,
