the pacific is the u.s. falling behind china? thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that is it for this "special report." fair, balanced and still unafraid. will cain is the guest host in for jesse tonight for "jesse watters primetime." it starts right now. hey, will. >> will: hey, bret. thank you so much. ♪ ♪ >> will: welcome to a special edition of "jesse watters primetime." i am will cain. when we used to think of seattle, we always thought of rainy weather, maybe frazier. >> has the world completely lost the concept of common cure courtesy. am i the only one resisting this tide? people of seattle, listen to me. we are not barbarians. we are not the we are not french. do you hear that? [laughter]

>> will: but, frazier, wait until you seattle today. then seattle to be fair after frasier paid for grunge and the city did get more exciting ♪ ♪ so, no relationship, i'm sure to grunge but after that somewhere after that things really started to take a turn. and the city of frazier's paradise turned to the barbarians and became a paradise for addicts. >> drug users c congregate under umbrellas bus stops or vestibules or get high out in the open in front of shocked parents or children. >> you know if anything teaching children not to do drugs. >> i never will. >> good for you. >> look at this man overdosing

near the ross store. >> is he doing blues? >> i don't know what he is doing. >> police raced in to save his life with several hits of narcan as people watched in horror. >> insane. the city has decayed into an american crisis. you walk on the streets of seattle and you see little tent cities, dirty needles and people being left for dead in the street. and just last year, almost 600 people overdosed in the emerald city. it's getting so bad that seattle's doctors are running out of places to store the bodies. >> the medical examiner's office is now struggling with the issue of storing bodies. because the fentanyl-related death toll continues to climb. obviously they have finite space in the coolers they use and that space is now being exceeded on a regular basis. >> will: now, seattle a one-party town so no need to worry. democrats have a plan to save

seattle. and i know what you are thinking, no, are no, no. they are not going to hand out meth pipes or needles to the drug addicts again. they already tried that it may actually have played a big part in the number of ods skyrocketing. imagine that. no, they have better idea this time. and for t that we turn to the seattle mayor. >> we will do what makes sense to get people into treatment. part of the program are low dollar gift cards as an example. but that is part of a philosophy to do the outreach and to develop the relationships so people realize they don't change their way, they will die. >> will: so, the city of seattle is planning on solving its homelessness and drug addiction crisis with gift cards. they're going to walk around these tent cities like oprah saying you get a card, you get a card. you get a card. in other words, of course they are going to throw money at the problem. that's what they always do.

and if gift cards aren't your thing, well, you can move to los angeles where i hear they are giving out hotel rooms. watch. >> leaning into the new direction we have chartered for l.a., my budget also includes an unprecedented $1.3 billion investment to accelerate our momentum on homelessness. this is why my budget breaks new ground to fund the purchase of motels and hotels by the city. >> will: from los angeles to seattle to new york city to washington, d.c., the mentality is all the same. the left thinks homelessness is someone being down on their luck, so, hey, here's a handout. but we know that handouts do not fix mental health issues. now, on this program, we have spoken to addicts on skid row who will tell you if you give them a handout, they will turn it into drug money. >> when i was homeless, i was

getting about $320 a month in general relief cash and $200 a month in food stamps, and i immediately sold the food stamps for $100 cash. so that gives me $420 in cash and i spent it on drugs within about two days. when you can steal food and no consequences there is no point in using food stamp card to buy food you sell it for drug money. when you incentivize bad behavior which they are doing it's going to create more bad behavior and i'm an excrack head and i can figure that out. i don't understand how they can't figure it out. >> will: seems pretty clear. and wait until you get a load of the latest phenomenon. now people have been turning pallets of water into drug money. >> here's what is happening here. you get an oregon trail card. you go in and you buy a bottle of water. did you go out to the parking lot and you dump it on the ground. then you take your empty bottle, you take them into the store immediately to redeem for 10 cents apiece. then you buy drugs.

>> will: recycling water bottles for cash to turn into drugs. because when you are addicted, you will turn anything into drugs. and if i was a betting man, i would say turning gift cards in seattle will be a lot easier than turning water bottles into drugs. but democrats don't seem to really care about getting to the root of the problem because that takes a lot of real work. they would rather throw wads of cash at the problem just to say they are doing something. and this kind of system actually ends up rewarding addiction, just ask anyone on the streets and they will tell you. >> we don't have any assistance for people that are not drug users or alcoholics, if you come in here and splash some alcohol on you and put some on your bret, if do you that, then come back and tell us you are alcoholics. they will give you a place to

live. that's what gets me they reward the people with the worst behavior with the best housing and the best of everything. and it's balls there is multi millions of dollars involved in helping those people. >> will: never ending loop of the exact same things. get hooked on drugs and democrats throw money at you. get even more hooked on drugs this time doing fentanyl instead of crack because it's cheaper and then democrats send you more money. and it keeps going. and the problem never ends either this is by design or we're not being governed by the best and the brightest and maybe, just maybe, it's a little bit of both. >> jonathan show is a discovery institute senior fellow and he joins us here tonight on "primetime." jonathan, great to see you. i know and i understand many of the videos we have seen and played came from what you have seen in seattle. tell me what you have seen from the people and on the streets of

seattle. >> look, will, the video don't lie. that's what i sat few days. look, they are telling me they are deeply addicted and talked about the fentanyl and meth, right now another drug that's hitting the streets it's called thank fentanyl a combination of xylazine horse trannizer in fentanyl. leading to consequences like rotting skin and flesh that narcan can't reverse any of this. yet, the addicts are telling me they are so addicted they are still willing to take their chances with their life. >> will: would love for you to address some of the seattle, suburbs, wow the story they are telling about my city it be portland or seattle or los angeles on fox news is not the city i live in. what is the drew ii? where is this in seattle? is it concentrated? is it everywhere? is it these people who offer you this rebuttal or ensconced in rich suburbs, what is the

reality of where this is happening in seattle? >> well, unfortunately a lot of this is concentrated in the main downtown urban core. that's why this past week the mayor unveiled downtown activation plan and also signed an executive order to address the fentanyl crisis. look, the city is the main gateway for not only tourism but also the drug trade. the criminals, the addicts, and also the people's peddling the stuff know that they are riding the buses and trains back and forth. they are stealing items to sell on the streets for pennies on the dollar so they can buy the drugs again. where does that happen? in the cities. primarily, but, at the same time, it's happening in the outer ring suburbs as well. the homeless crisis, addiction crisis, nobody is immune from this right now. >> will: lastly, jonathan, we hear about the gift card program. what will happen with these gift cards? >> look, will, when i first heard about this i thought about game myification of addiction

crisis. chuck e. cheese get points win prizes and stay clean. i want it to work. we all want it to work. yet the cynics will say most of these addicts in these places they are stealing items they know that. this program may work in a city where they actually enforce the laws but i don't know about seattle when people go in and steal items anyway and sell it for pennies on the dollar. >> will: jonathan choe, thank you so much for showing us what is happening in seattle. >> will: coming up, what do aliens and the massacre in waco ha happened 30 years ago have in common? burger and fries... soup and salad. like your workplace benefits and retirement savings. with voya, considering all your financial choices together can help you make smarter decisions. voya. well planned. well invested. well protected. ♪ ♪ [ cat purrs ] [ phone vibrates ]

every single one of us wants to believe that we're necessary. we not only want to believe that we ever necessary but that we are important it's unlikely you would know up tomorrow and say we think we got this garbage thing under control you don't need me to show up tomorrow. that's very doubtful. in the world of the government necessity and importance are measured in terms of budget. you need more budget to prove yourself justification. that's why last night on a clip on "tucker carlson tonight," when elon musk was asked whether or not he had ever seen evidence. whether or not he believed in the existence of aliens, it caught my attention. his answer caught my attention watcher. >> a lot of people ask me, you know. where are the aliens? i think if anyone would know about aliens on earth, it would probably me. i have seen no evidence of aliens. do you know what would really

get no arguments from anyone if we pulled out an alien and said we need money to protect ourselves from these guys. [laughter] how much money do you want? you got it. [laughter] they look dangerous. so, the fastest way to get a defense budget increase would be to pull out an alien. >> will: fastest way to get a defense budget increase to convince people of the existence of aliens. that was his response to many of the stories we heard from the 1960s, 1950s. now, i'm not personally dismissal of the probability, the possibility of the existence of aliens. did i find elon's answer incredibly interesting. when it comes to the federal government, if you give someone a hammer, everything looks like a nail. the federal budget and every department needs that budget justified. that is something you possibly saw 30 years ago in waco, texas.

the alcohol, tobacco and firearms agency had been given incredible jurisdiction and incredible weaponry that ultimately at some point would have to be justified and would have to be used. and that might have been exactly what we saw in for 51 days in 1d karesh and davidians held fbi and other law enforcement officers at bay. they raided the compound in waco, texas searching for illegal weapons. a gun fight erupts killing four atf agents and wounds 16 others. karesh is also injured. >> on day 51, attorney general janet reno had approved a plan to force the davidians out with tear gas. but the final salt on the compound became very aggressive and a fire erupted. >> that fire spread out of control leaving more than 80 men, women, and many, many

children dead. and their blood was on the hands of the federal government. what started as an arrest warrant for illegally altering guns turned into a full blown tragedy. rather than just knock on the door to serve their search warrant, the feds came in armed to the teeth. they came in hot. they came in flexing their muscle. the entire situation in waco, the seed was a culmination of two months of government failure and overreaction. the atf needed to justify the arsenal of weaponry, so they overreached. they needed to justify their mission, and so they looked for the right case. the fbi then came in hot, you would think we would learn our lesson from something like this. continuing pumping money into departments and into agencies that need to continue to show us then why we have given them all that money. but, no. we haven't. even when they turn that power against us, their own citizens.

the fbi is bigger and more powerful than ever. and it's justifying its existence now by targeting, for example, parents at school board meetings as domestic terrorists. they are labeling catholics as radicals and they even tried to hatch a plot to kidnap, to entrap others to kidnap the governor of michigan so they could then blame it on much wider con conservatives. so here we are 30 years after waco and we still haven't learned anything about giving this power and our money are, our resources, our funds to a government that in turn needs to use that power against its citizens. steve friend is a former fbi special agent and fbi whistleblower, and he joins me now. steve, thank you for being with me. when you see what happened 30 years ago in waco, there's a lot of disputes about who shot first and who started the fire. but, when you see the way this

entire situation was handled some 30 years later, what's your reaction? >> i think everything that happened there is derivative something we learned from scripture no man can serve two masters. in that situation the decisionmakers be they tackle, situational, administrative, they were trying to achieve a mission and make a splash. so, instead of doing something simple, best practices, maybe conducting an interview, doing some baseline investigative practices, instead they elected to use undercover surveillance, air assets and eventually hostage rescue team to bring this situation to an end and results of it show how tragic that can be. >> will: to be clear then what are those two masters you are referencing whether or not it be the agents, those in charge of the department at large, what are those two masters? >> well, the master that should be is achieving the mission and obeying the constitution, obeying the rule of law. but, instead, those individuals sought their own career

advancement and also to self-licking ice cream cone that we desee in law enforcement federal government at large. keep those budget tear funds flowing and nothing is going to get that done better than having a big splash, a big take down transpire. >> will: very well said. self-licking ice cream and shear all too common individual ambition for career advancement. steve, thank you very much for looking back on this tonight with us. something we need to remember. it's an important story and one i fear if we don't remember we will see again in the future. thank you, steve. >> thank you. >> will: all right, coming up, a major breaking news -- there is major breaking news into the investigation into hunter biden's taxes. don't go anywhere. ♪ ♪ overactive bladder, or oab, can change your world. like going hiking, just to hike to the bathroom. reaching for the bar, just to reach for pads.

>> will: fox news alert. a bombshell just dropped in the hunter biden tax investigation.

a senior irs whistleblower has reportedly told congress that they want to come forward and reveal a cover-up in the tax evasion case. although hunter wasn't specifically named, according to a letter from attorneys, the whistleblower has been overseeing the, quote, ongoing and sensitive investigation of a high profile controversial subject since early 2020. and is looking for guidance on how to lawfully expose preferential treatment and false testimony to congress by a senior political appointee. the "new york post" is saying a congressional source confirmed the complaint pertains to the first son. and the timeline matches up with hunter's tax investigation. we will keep you updated as this story develops. it was a great day in boston today and no, they didn't take down that ridiculous, you know, sculpture for mlk devoted to mlk the embrace. no, instead, a new democrat has officially entered of the race for president.

>> i have come here today to announce my candidacy for the democratic nomination for president of the united states. [cheers] my mission over the next 18 months of this campaign and over my -- throughout my presidency will be to end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power. >> will: robert f. kennedy jr. is officially in the race to primary joe biden and he is climbing in the polls. just this week a new poll shows r.f.k. has already won over 14% of biden voters. now, why is that? well, it could be the economy. we have been crushed by inflation, interest rates, and gas prices. and the american people are holding joe biden responsible. >> 69% of people polled by cnbc say they have a negative view of the economy. president biden talks about the economy all the time.

why why aren't people buying it. >> he talks about the economy all the time because he wants the american people to know that he is doing everything that he can to make sure that his policies, that he has put forward, that has shown that he is building an economy that doesn't leave anybody behind. >> will: i don't know if that made any sense to you. but, if it didn't, biden tried to clear things up at a speech in maryland today. i will give you a hint. you are never going to guess who is at fault for the economy. maga republicans. >> mccarthy went to wall street to described the maga economic vision for america. massive benefit protected for those at the top, a lot of, you know, all the tax cuts go to the top, none to the bottom. the threat defaulting on america's debt for the first time in 230 years, we have never ever defaulted on the debt. and it would destroy this economy. i brought the deficit down by a record $1.7 trillion. [applause] and by the way, made all this

progress in a fiscally responsible way. >> will: how is this for fiscal responsibility? the biden administration unveiled a plan to subsidize risky mortgages on the backs of people with good credit. so basically here's how it works. people with credit scores of 680 or better or those who put down 20 to 25% equity on the home those are the people get dinged by a new fee. for example, let's say you bought a $400,000 house. you have good credit. probably get hit with extra $40 a month in fees. over the course of the mortgage that's an extra $14,000. and then where does that money go? where will your $14,000 go? here is what the biden administration says. quote: the fee changes will increase pricing support for purchase borrowers limited by income or by wealth. that's a redistribution. that is a progressive tax. that is reapportioning your good behavior, your good credit and

your money to those who cannot afford the same home or do not have the same credit. not only is that a progressive income tax hidden under the guise of a fee. that's also subsidizing something we saw in 2008. another mortgage crisis. joe biden should know better. he oversaw the subprime mortgage housing crisis in 2008. so why is he trying to start another mortgage crisis? guess we will have to ask joe biden. coming up: secretary new york s back on the hill today and republicans let him have it , neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger. they need their lawn back fast

>> joe biden is weak on foreign policy. we all know. this u.s.a. vs. china isn't taking place here or in beijing. it's actually happening right now in africa. china owns all the mines. they are quickly building infrastructure all over that continent. and rather than entice these nations to do business with us, we are sending as you see on the

screen wojest warriors sullivan to promote race and gender ideology. >> it falls to us, this generation, to recognize the pervasiveness of systemic racism. and falls to this generation to summon the will to make racism a relic of history. today, once again, we face such a reckoning, the killing of george floyd in minneapolis five weeks ago. >> now, imagine you are in africa, who would you rather do business with the country that's building all your roads or bridges or the lady that wants to hang rainbow flags out the capitol? let's find the answer to that question because there is a vote taking place right now on the floor of the senate over whether or not this should be the image put forward by the united states of america to africa. let's bring in the senator from ohio j.d. vance. senator, thank you very much for being with us. tonight, as i understand it, you just left the floor where this was up for vote.

>> let's get to how that's going and how this is going to help us win over africans in this geopolitical battle with china global dominance and influence. >> i objected and i think it's important that we have a full debate in the senate because we have foreign policy right now, i hate to say it from the biden administration, that's based on hectoring and moralizing. it's based on taking the most radical far left ideas and basically building a moralizing foreign policy around that instead of trying to make a trade with people where they get something good and we get something good in return. terrible for foreign policy and to your point, if you are in ghana, what do you want? a lecture from awoke white woman in america or do you want somebody who help you build hospitals, roads and bridges. it's an easy answer. the fact that we are sending so many diplomats to africa and other places who can't answer the question the right way is really troubling. and we need to at least in this country have a debate about it.

>> will: yeah, senator, i think we already know it's not a hypothetical, right? we have already lost much of africa to china. and their influence and roads and bridges and their allegiance among these african countries. i would have to take, you know, woke ideology, gender identity and gender fluidity and these types of issues it's not exactly within the wheelhouse of these countries in africa where they are very devout christians and/or muslims. >> that's exactly right. they see this as cultural imperialism. americans are coming in and trying to force foreign values down their throats where chinese coming in and helping with economic development. it's already having very negative consequences because a lot of the minerals and resources we need for the 21st century economy, the chinese are gobbling this stuff up through our diplomacy and standing over here saying you need to post the right flag outside of your embassy or you are not going to get full respect from your american diplomats and your american so-called friends.

here is the really crazy part about this. if you step back and think about how important the american military is to our entire diplomacy, both the threat of american military power around of course is sometimes the reality of american military power, do we really think that the majority of american troops are fighting and dying because they want the trans pride flag to hang in ghana? of course not. even if you disagree with me on the transgender issue. this is an american debate to be had in america not to force it down the throats of other countries. >> will: yeah, within the end a cost to america. if china wins africa, america -- we're on our way to losing the world. senator, great so much to talk to you tonight. >> thank you. >> will: secretary mayorkas back on the hot seat on capitol hill. republicans, like yesterday, they did not take it easy on him. fox news national correspondent bill melugin last the details. >> we could give you money to hire a thousand new border agents.

nobody wants to work for you. we're done, done be, done with your lies to america. it's shameful what you brought upon our country. >> dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas the subject of repeated republican criticism today. >> but you have failed in your job. >> mr. secretary this budget proposal is an insult to every american. >> mayorkas was before the committee to discuss the dhs budget request for 2024 which asks for about $25 billion for cbp and ice. an $800 million increase from 2023. >> the administration has proposed spending 3.9 billion of dhs money on a climate resilience program. meanwhile, you propose spending a mere $40 million to combat fentanyl that's devastating our country. >> some democrats looked to change the topic. >> let's talk about climate change. >> question about tsa. >> at one point the hearing went off the rails. after congresswoman marjorie taylor greene took aim at congressman eric swalwell. >> that was quite entertaining

from someone that had a sexual relationship with a chinese spy and everyone knows it. the thing. >> i move to take her words down completely inappropriate. >> and in a remarkable moment, mayorkas testified that he believes the u.s. border patrol chief is wrong. >> do you disagree with the head border patrol agent when he said that our border is not secure? >> congressman, i have testified to that issue. >> so you do disagree with him? you disagree with your chief of border patrol? >> i respectfully do in that regard. >> and a growing number of republicans are now calling for mayorkas to be impeached. but a cabinet secretary hasn't been impeached in the u.s. since back in 1876. house speaker kevin mccarthy's office tells me they are still conducting investigations and hearings and still have not come to a decision on impeachment. will, we'll send it back to you. >> will: all right. thank you so much, bill. all right, up next, eric adams wants new york to go vegan. so what do the people on the

production. not by warner brothers discovery after those two companies were spun off by at&t. now, not just bat girl, cnn plus was also killed off from the same time and that makes senator warren angry. she says the merger enabled the combined company to take aggressive measures harming workers and creatives in the media and entertainment industry that's not all. wbd canceled and removed content from platforms. they took off 68 titles from hbo max. 68 titles that nobody watched. the horror. hate to break it to you, liz, but it happens all the time in hollywood. you don't put your real suit on, if you don't put your real suit back on and fight actual crime for a change, we all may suffer not just bat girl. so, yesterday, we told you how the mayor of new york is planning to limit the city's beef consumption to help save the environment. we figured new yorkers wouldn't

but, in new york they are starting with meat. the world economic forum or whatever the elites in davos they are taking away rice. let's turn, jimmy, to another topic with you. it's within your area of expertise. it's the head going to the bathroom. specifically in san francisco where city officials are flushing taxpayer cash down the drain. here's what they are going to build, jimmy. a $1.7 million public toilet. now, you've seen that show fixer-uppers imagine what you could do in a bathroom with that kind of budget. gold toilet, right? champagne bow day. italian marble inlays with gavin newsom's face. who knows where you could go. but not in san francisco by the way, jimmy. the residents are upset because this is just about like permitting. this is actually the legitimate cost in san francisco to build this golden which isn't golden thrown. >> jimmy: here's the thing. it's $1.7 million but that's because they have to spend money to train the citizens of san francisco how to use a toilet

indoor. okay? [laughter] you forget this is a foreign. >> will: i have seen the videos. >> jimmy: indoor going to the bathroom alien land in times square they don't know what this is. again, this story is the one you hold on to when newsom announces he is running in two months because they are sending biden off to shady pines or whatever dill jill has worked out. gavin newsom thinks is he going to be president and he thinks he is going to run on what is happening in credit states. he is conveniently avoiding the conversation what's happening in his state but this is what is happening in a liberal state. toilets are making news because toilets are not being used. this is disgusting, will cain. >> will: it's disgusting. we are going to end this show, jimmy where it began. we are going to end it with you though. that is the citizens of seattle on the drug addicts of seattle are about to get a gift card. i imagine, jimmy, that's going to pay off. that's going to really get them off the drugs. here's a free gift card. >> jimmy: yeah. a lot of people don't know this.

but the space needle is actually filled with heroin. [laughter] they don't tell you that i used to think it was steroids for the mariners but then i saw how they were playing yeah, probably not. i was just in seattle, everything we say about it is true. it's a society that let itself go. every liberal city, will, loans like gotham before batman comes. batman is not coming because is he not vaccinated. thanks. >> will: one more with you, jimmy. john fetterman made his grand return to work this week. the first order of business was to crazy those pesky online rumors. watch. this hey, everybody, it's me. senator john fetterman, and i just want you to know that i'm back and i'm feeling great. 100 percent. during my time during the hospital, the fringy fringies really came up with a conspiracy that i have a body double. and i just want you to know that is just crazy. that's not true. and i mean, dude, john, what event am i supposed to be doing this afternoon? dude, really.

♪ just the two of us, ♪ we can make it if we try. [laughter] >> will: i got to say look, he did a better job of that than working back into the senate. >> for sure. people gave him a hard time about walking into the senate in sweatpants but is he actually just trying to get a job modeling women's workout gear for nike. so don't forget about that. but, you know, for all the jokes we make about fetterman. i don't think any of you was should judge him until we figure out what type of senator his wife's going to be. [laughter] >> will: probably the same kind of president jill biden is currently. all right. jimmy failla, always great to see you. thank you so much for being on with us tonight. >> jimmy: see everybody on gutfeld at 11:00. >> will: by the way, before we go tonight, this is what happens when your show has a few guest cancellations you have two minutes to turn over to your guest fill-in host to tell you exactly what you can expect on the new episode of the will cain podcast which those come out every monday, wednesday and

friday. here's what you can expect this week. hard turn to a sad and tragic story out of kansas city where a young man, 16 years old, appeared to have gone to the wrong residence. the man inside, the 84-year-old man inside responded to the young man at his door with gunshots. now, you can imagine yourself on both sides of this story. going to the wrong residence to pick up your siblings, literally got the wrong address and all of a sudden as you are standing at the doorbell, shots ringing out. you can also imagine yourself on the other side an 8 #-year-old man with a 6-foot tall guy outside your door reportedly pulling on the glass outer door to come inside. here's what i would tell you, this is a tragedy. but there is zero evidence that it is racist. and that's the narrative today that it is ringing the doorbell while being black. i would reserve judgment as we all should until we get the facts to arrive at a conclusion. but i will say if one of your main narrow raiders is ben crump

you breed skepticism. crump lied about jacob blake. crump lied about ma'khia bryant. crump lied about michael brown. he literally used lies to tear the racial relationship and the streets of this country down while people died. i will wait for the concludes. i will wait for facts for the conclusion. and can you check out the rest of the will cain podcast. until then tucker carlson. ♪ good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight. sometimes you wonder just how filthy and dishonest our news media are. you'll be in the shower and you'll think they're bad but how bad are they? well, here's one measure of their badness. you can try this at home. ask yourself. is any news organization you know of so corrupt that it's willing to hurt ow behalf of its biggest advertisers. anyone who would do that is obviousl
