people with life-threatening diseases. hope you'll join us for that i'm gillian turner in for bret baier. thanks for watching "special report" from washington tonight. "jesse watters primetime" hosted by will cain begins now. >> will: thank you so much, gillian. >> gillian: you bet. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> will: good evening, i am will cain and this is a special edition of "jesse watters primetime." look, leaving is never an easing thing to do. watters hasn't left. he's just had a baby. not enough people irish goodbye. most people have to be should out the door. leaving is hard. you could be the most hated guy in the office but you don't realize it. and you don't realize when it's time to leave. >> will: good morning. >> go hell. >> hi, alice that's a nice dress. >> don't even look at me. >> hey, glen. >> hey, go to hell.

[laughter] >> i heard that one already. >> will: yeah. try having a sitdown with that person. it never goes well. >> we have had it. you leave right now and play now and give you six months pay. that's half of your entire contract. please, just -- just go. [ laughter ] >> see if i stay the whole year, i get it all. >> will: sound logic. george always had sound logic. i don't know if we can say the same for the city of oakland in california who in this analogy is george castanza. they haven't sat back and realized covid is over and it has been for a while. but the city in the bay area is still operating under pandemic insanity and they do not want it to end. oakland hasn't killed its covid eviction moratorium. in fact, right now as we speak, they are holding hearings on potentially ending that

moratorium. possibly extending it though into july. too little, too late. if you are a tenant in oakland you haven't had to pay rent for the past three years. on the other side of that, there is the landlord. all you have to do is tell your landlord it's scary, covid, you get a pass. but if you are that landlord. if you are a mom and pop landlord who has been trying to pay off your mortgage, good luck. you can't evict the bad tenant and you sure can't sue them and the city council is thinking yeah, let's give them more time. we want more of that moratorium. but, good luck telling the mom and pop stores who are down thousands. >> i'm owed over $40,000 in rent. we have heard tenants who said we ain't paying rent. and can you sue us if you want, to nothing you can do about it. >> she currently has an individual living in her house able-bodied grown man, not paying rent, got money to buy

weed and smoke all day but now is in arrears over $18,000. >> we just want them to leave. they hoarded the house. the house is worth over $500,000 at one point. now it's barely worth $100,000. the walls are so black dirty that if you even put any grease on a stove and try to cook something you will start a fire. >> we are housing providers. we are black people. and we are being forgotten about. we are not represented in this council in this body. nobody is coming to save us. >> will: yeah. nobody is coming to save them. while landlords are getting buried in debt, tenants are loading up their bank accounts. >> i am angry about this situation. i feel very hopeless for two years. >> because as a landlord wang says she has gone unpaid, missing out on more than $100,000 in rent. that's despite the tenant

claiming he works in tech and pulls in $200,000 a year. >> there is just no reason for them to not pay for the rent. and just take advantage of the moratorium. >> will: so if landlords in oakland is going broke, who is paying their bills. who is protecting them? the answer, of course, is no one. the city council doesn't think landlords deserve any protection. so now mom and pop landlords, well, they are protesting in the streets. >> covid shut everyone. small housing providers got covid, too. so protecting neighbors from covid, where is your protection? we wanted protected. we are not required to pay other part-time bills. you were used as a piggy bank for private welfare. now here we are three years later. three years later. >> three years later. >> and they want to extend the

moratorium which is just a fancy way of saying people don't have to pay their rent on time. [bleep] >> will: oakland, three years later, how much more of this can we put up with? even joe biden has admitted that it's over. covid is over. >> the pandemic is over. we still have a problem with covid. we are still doing a lot of work on it. but the pandemic is over. >> will: if biden is saying it's over then, look, it's time the party is over. the pandemic is over. the party is over, oakland. time's up. it's time to give property owners their rights back. it's time for emergency powers to all be returned from the state back to the people. thomas jefferson famously said when people fear government tyranny has found victory. right now it's winning. tyranny, while mass can a raiding as this is the new normal. but there is nothing normal about, for example schools still forcing elementary kids outside

to mask that's happening in elizabeth montessori school ithaca in upstate, new york. we wish we were kidding but kids at this school they are still being forced to eat lunch in silence. they banned happy birthdays in the classroom. they have even shut down their cafeteria. three years give these kids a break. covid has triggered a sickness in this country. they are hooked. >> some folk also try to socially shame you for wearing a mask. even though covid is still the third leading cause of death in our country. >> i just started wearing masks again in public, you know, anywhere i'm at, grocery store, work, what have you. so i like to think that i made, you know, an impact on someone's life today. >> today i did a 5 k and i wore my avery dennison mask. >> wearing a mask is cute. ♪ wearing a mask is cool

♪ wearing a mask is for people to who did above average in school. >> will: sure signs of mental health in this country right now gender fluidity and wearing a mask outdoors. a sure sign that you are in distress. but isn't this really about covid? is this really about a pandemic? or are we seeing another great leap forward that we never come out of? a cultural shift like we saw for example with 9/11, which towarded us all into ridiculously long security screening lines at the airport or still taking our shoes off if you don't have tsa prescreening because of a shoe bomber in 2001. already seeing the same thing with covid. where landlords don't ever even have their rights over their own homes. parents don't have control over their kids and what they wear. and we won't come out of it. just like we didn't come out of these 9/11 security mechanisms because when these things happen, it's always this great cultural leap forward. and it is a big leap. the government never shrinks.

it always grows. the government always comes out on top. and they do say our politicians do say openly, never let a crisis go waste. so i think the real question then is what will be the next crisis? let's bring in seneca scott, you saw his video a little bit earlier in this program. he's with the neighbors together oakland program. he's the ceo in fact. seneca, we heard you talking earlier as part of that protest in the street. as you look at this and what has happened in your city and the rights they have taken away from you as a property owner, i think the most obvious question is why. why are they doing this in oakland? >> great question. the fact that we still have eviction moratorium three years later, most importantly, 18 months after the rental assistance money ran out, was essentially meant that small housing providers were forced to pay the bills of other private citizens. what is going on right now? i think what's going on there is

a hidden agenda to use the lower class to squeeze out the middle class and upper class with insidious policy couched as progressive but the actual results are as you have seen hard-working black people are losing their homes. >> will: yeah. so a couple of -- i want everybody watching and for me as well. i want to fully understand your plight. i think i understand your questions but they are not simply rhetorical. have you had to pay your mortgage the entire time through this pandemic you? are not receiving your rent, how about the money going out the door the other way? have you had to pay your mortgage? >> so i'm actually a renter, will. but thanks for having. i'm here in solidarity because i rent from a 74-year-old black man. and this black man who is my neighbor lost a home due to foreclosure because his renters didn't pay him. now, i pay my rent faithfully through the pandemic because i'm an honest person and i remained

employed. so the money that was there to help people, there were a lot of people who were hurting, there were a lot of renters who because of the pandemic lost their livelihood. but we do have people who are driving new vehicles and going on vacation. they have sucked that money out. and it was government enabled theft. there were never any safeguards. it was very clumsy policy. even after the money ran out, which should have triggered at least a move to prove covid, right? they never did that. >> will: i want to jump in, seneca, i'm sorry to interrupt. i know the answer. the answer it is somewhat of a rhetorical question and i appreciate your solidarity, making a moral choice, the right choice to pay your rent. the answer for those homeowners is, yes, they have to continue to pay their mortgage. now let's do. this i asked you why to start, seneca, that council there are those that say the moratorium race plays a role. you know that. i know that they are saying that if you want to sun set this

moratorium, well, you know, then you don't empathize with the plight of our black pop plus and that it's racist. and i'm looking at the videos by the way, seneca, these are black homeowners as well. these are black property owners. explain to meet role of race. >> i'm speaking on behalf of the people forced to pay rent and upkeep and mortgages and city taxes. we never got a tax holiday. even though we are being used as a piggy bank. >> will: right. >> people are very upset at the end of the rope. i think we are looking for representation today from our city council. unfortunately, they have been bought and sold by our local public sector labor unions that work in collaboration with the nonprofit industrial complex. they receive billions of dollars of funding from mega billionaires and turn around and calling these struggling mom and

pops property owners astro turf because they are combining resources in solidarity to fight these illegal policies. one more thing that i will add of critical importance is there is a lawsuit right now. the housing providers of america and the pacific legal foundation have filed a lawsuit against the county of al meeta and the city of oakland about these illegal ratoriums in federal court. there is half a billion dollars in oakland alone and over $1 million in almeda county. and 6 billion in the state of california due to unconstitutional moratorium. >> will: seneca before we run out of time the issue of race? >> the issue of race here is that we're trying to save trying to save our wealth. it's the single family home. it's the asset. the easiest way for someone to get ahead and build wealth in america is real estate and

investment property. to switch the game on us right now, pull the rug out from people when we are finally getting our footing economically in america is absolutely evil. >> will: two amazing points i just want to highlight out on the way out seneca, you are exactly right. you are destroying the wealth creation for black americans in oakland. i love what you said. they didn't put a moratorium on the taxes i owe the city government. interesting how that works. they made sure they got paid during the entire pandemic but you couldn't as a property owner. seneca, so great to talk to you this evening. thank you. we wish you the best of luck in oakland. >> thank you very much. >> will: coming up, the biden white house lost thousands of migrant kids and looked the other way but the chickens are coming home to roost. >> you have at every stage facilitated this modern day indentured servitude of minor children. why should you not be impeached for this? grass.

better life in america of course. instead what they find is they end up working in horrific conditions to pay off the fees they owe to their smugglers. quote: again and again veteran government staffers and outside contractors told hhs, including in reports that reached secretary xavier becerra that children appeared to be at risk. shown evidence of exploitation such as clusters of migrant children who had been found working in industrial equipment or cause stick chemicals. and so what did biden's people do about it u. the says bursting at the seams and the administration needed to clear them out. can't have images that even approximated the ones they condemned with trump they released children without vetting the sponsors. then go on to be he can abused, exploited trafficked and in some cases sex trafficked. also, in other cases, flat out

missing. according to the "times." the biden administration has lost track of over 100,000 of these quote, unquote, sponsored migrant children. so what did secretary mayorkas have to say about all of this? he is in charge of the border and he was in the hot seat today. watch. >> do you know what's happening to these children? have you seen this report from the "new york times" alone and exploited migrant children work brutal jobs across the united states? have you seen this? you can see a massive surge that begins to happen, when, oh, when you come to office. in 2021. >> the horrific exploitation of children is something that we do not condone. you are incorrectly acorinthing it to our policies. let me share with you. >> wait a minute, wait a minute. it began, look at the numbers. it began, this massive surge began when you came to office. you have at every stage facilitated this modern day

indentured servitude of minor children. why should you not be impeached for this? >> al gore told me that graphs like that are called a hockey stick. now, a lot of people would like to see mayorkas impeached but not everyone. some democrats actually think the guy deserves praise. >> i want to just take a moment to acknowledge secretary mayorkas' leadership at the department of homeland security. when i talk about integrity i often say if nothing else matters if you don't have it nothing else matters and secretary mayorkas has it. he has worked tirelessly to advance the security and well-being of our country. i want to take a moment to ask my colleagues here today to treat the secretary with respect he deserves. >> will: sorry, senator, when you enable policies that endanger children, you lose everyone's respect. and that's exactly what has happened with mayorkas. victor marks is the founder of all things possible ministries an organization that combat migrant child trafficking. victor, thanks for being with us this evening.

you know, for those who didn't read the "new york times" report and you are deeply immeasured in this type of story. what is the picture of what is happening with these children? i would like to back up to let people understand been there seeing children come in finished a three month trek by themselves holding girls in their arms who had been raped multiple times in order to get through. and they think they are going to come to the land of great dreams and aspiration but, yet, it doesn't get better they are vulnerable and going to get exploited and this is where i can't believe our political leaders are taking a stand to try to justify the abuse that's happening. the blame shifting among our

government officials and agencies regarding their responsibilities in protecting the migrant children from exploitation to me it just clearly indicates they don't have an answer to the problem. >> will: and so, would you do that for me, victor? would you put some flesh on the bone of describing the problem? i certainly have a i have individual image of what you described about young ladies who just completed this trek. what kind of jobs are they filling in america. >> the predators take advantage of them. they come across as nice. they are not nice. it's because they want something. and they because of greed, selfless ambition and absolutely no care for the kids will bring them, put them in houses, community homes, and then they will make them pay a price to even have the privilege to work under horrible conditions that

we wouldn't let any of our american kids do. and when i say pay a price, there's abuse going on even just to work. so, i hope americans will start to understand what is being done in the darkness is now bringing to light. and i like the "new york times" article. i would encourage people to read it. one thing for sure, if joe biden cared enough and as much about children who are suffering and they are really creating the policy to bring them inasmuch as he does touching them and sniffing them, this problem would be solved pretty quick. >> will: yeah. your words -- victor, your words have been heard here tonight. your deeds should be known here tonight across america. and everyone listening should understand. it's just not fox news. it's not just will cain or victor marx. it's the "new york times" acknowledging the reality that the government knows what is happening with these children.

with any level of confidence is that a virus which killed over a million americans originated in a chinese lab whose research included work for the chinese military and such an assessment would obviously have enormous geopolitical implications that i believe the current administration does not want to face head on. >> will: so what does ratcliffe mean by that? that's pretty -- forget where covid originated. the last sense is what i'm fascinated by. >> dni ratcliffe is here with us tonight. >> will: can you pick up on the last sentence? what are the serious geeio political implications that the biden administration does not want to face when facing the reality that covid came from a lab? >> consequence sequences of our intelligence community making assessment at any intelligence level across the board that the

wuhan institute of virology was the source through unintentional or intentional but like like unintentional lab leak that resulted in the death of tens of millions of measures and 10 million people worldwide would have profound implications and the biden administration would be forced to address and confront china with tropic intelligence assessment. confronting china no matter what the incursion is something the biden administration has been simply unwilling to do. when they threaten to shoot down a plane carrying the speaker of the house through state run media, there's no confrontation or conflict. sending a spy balloon across the country to spy on our most sensitive national security sites and facilities, there's no confrontation. but i would argue, will, that when we talk about, you know, a

dead -- a million dead americans that this is where there really has to be a line in the sand and the biden administration needs to take this head on. i honestly don't know is this just a matter of weakness of appeasement of never chamberlain type of possibilities just afraid of confrontation with china or the fact that joe biden folks in his white house, members of his national security team compromised making so much money with china over the years unwillingness to confront china something increasingly clear every day that the lab in wuhan was responsible for a pandemic that killed millions. >> i ask you what those implications geopolitically may be. that's inherently a political question. but your point is taken, i mean, in order to make that political calculation, what should we do, you first have to acknowledge the reality, what has been done. so, can i -- look, i saw zero

dark 30. i heard you just now say, director, with any reasonable level of confidence and i heard the testimony you gave. you said the stack of evidence to support it came from a lab would be this high. you know, and the stack of evidence to say it came from a wet market would be like down here. so, what would you say? what would be i bring up zero dark 30 because they were putting percentages. what would be your percentage it came from the lab? >> well, the way we talk about it in intelligence community is nature of assessment. those can be assessments that are made with low confidence with moderate confidence, or with high confidence. we never talk about certainty. will, i was real frank today that when i talk about the ledger of intelligence and evidence that we have, it is largely circumstantial and it's hard to say with certainty when you are talking about circumstantial evidence. what you can say as you are familiar with terms like pons.

so i have a based on china's actions. unwillingness anything exculpatory in nature. and then the actions of a guilty mind. the things they have done to obfuscate and appreciate there being a discovery of the origins of this. all way heavily in having a high level of the intelligence community across the board will make that same assessment. >> will: i appreciate that you answering that directly. a high level of confidence. and i did note as well on this program and in your statement you noted that that lab was doing research. and it was in relationship with the chinese military as well. is that doesn't tell us whether intentional or accidental. insight what was happening inside that lab. john, thank you so much. >> you bet. all right.

until she returns. i thank senator cardin for agreeing to step in. so today, i am acting not just as leader but as diane's friend and honoring her wishes until she returns to the senate. >> will: so to be clear the woman who doesn't want to step down wants to be replaced on the judiciary committee. right. maybe she is thinking of stepping away from the committee as it's a compromise. you guys go ahead, confirm the judges without me keep my seat warm i will be back before you know it. little does she know voluntarily taking her first step out the door toward involuntary retirement. karl rove is a former white house deputy chief of staff and fox news contributor karl i think everybody watching, you have got to show up to do your job, you do. you have got to be there. this looks like a real power play inside the democratic party.

>> yeah. and let's step back for a minute. they can't do it without 10 republicans agreeing to do it. at the beginning of the senate session, in january of this year, they adopted rules, rules are negotiated between the majority and minority. adopted by the senate and govern the legislative session for the next two years. the only way to change that two ways to change it. one is to ask for unanimous consent she step off the committee, aslated her to be on. and have everybody agree with that if everybody doesn't agree 60 votes in order to change that rule. that's the longstanding procedure in the senate. unless the 50-some odd democrats, depending on whether fetterman is there and whether dianne feinstein is there and so forth and so on. you have to get 8 or 9 or 10 republicans to vote with you. the republicans have made it clear they are not going to do this. they do not want to have that agreement carefully negotiated and agreed upon and voted upon

by the entire senate to be tossed out by the majority leader just because he wants to toss it out. >> will: how much longer can she hang on, karl? i mean, i don't know if that's a question -- i don't know if that's a procedural question or if that's a health question. but, she has to do they're job at some point. >> sure. well, we have had senators and house members who have been gone for months. in fact, i think there are a couple instances where the better part of charles sumners of massachusetts who was caned by a south carolina democrat was out of action for i think over a year. but, it really is left up to the member. left up to the member to decide if they're incapacitated. there is no 25th amendment like we have with regard to the president. if the cabinet gets together and decides that the president is no longer able to fulfill the duties of his office, they can remove him and replace him with the vice president. under the 25th amendment. but we have no such mechanism for the senate.

>> will: a lot of senators who don't seem up for the job right now, carl. they do happen to be a lot in one party. but a lot of them not showing up for work. >> senator fetterman is back briefly. >> will: i saw his grand entrance, karl. i saw his stumble back into the senate. great to see i, karl. >> thank you, will. >> will: coming up, eric adams is telling new yorkers to stop eating meat and they are not having it. >> if he stops drinking alcohol i will stop eating meat. i don't think that's going to happen. ♪
