don't fire, we got to get these charged. >> joe, david, thank you. if it can be done better, we'll do it. we shouldn't obsess over it as the end goal. that's it for tonight. i'll be back tomorrow. jesse will be back on monday. remember, i'm not watters. this is not my world. have a good night, everybody. >> hi, everyone. i'm brian kilmeade. canada has banned the sale of handgunses. none of that mattered to the canadian politicians. within hours, the ban became law. when that happened, we posed a simple question to the canadian prime minister trudeau, is your security detail going to stop

with their high-powered rifles to protect you? here's the response from his office. quote, we don't comment on that as related to the prime minister of security. so in other words the people in power get to keep the guns, people lose theirs. in this country, unlike canada, we have a second amendment, you'd like to think that you would be protected with your second amendment from your guns and be able to have a gun. politicians who want to suspend your civil liberties while you have a second amendment wouldn't be able to do, but the bill of rights is just words on a paper without a government that cares about protecting your rights. you lose your rights and that's what's happening right now. this week, jay insley, governor of washington still, signed a law banning semiautomatic rifles when which he called assault weapons. watch how he justified the massive move. >> there is no reason for their use in the state of washington. no one needs an ar-15 to protect

your family. the you only need it to kill other families. >> yeah, that makes sense. no one needs an ar-15 to protect your family. jay inslee says that. in fact, he needs an ar-15 to protect his family. we know that, because the journalist ari hoffman just asked inslee about his security detail, giving away their semiautomatic rifles. here's the oresponse he got. quote, as i'm sure you're aware, the law exempts law enforcement and military because of their unique needs to be prepared for extreme contingencies. so the governor was talking about daily civilian life. we're all in. only the powerful need guns to protect themselves, except in canada. out of florida, here's the headline, nbc, pregnant florida woman uses an ar-15 to fatally shoot an armed intruder. here's what the woman's husband jeremy king told the local news station. quote, them guys came in with

two normal pistols, and my ar evened the playing field with my wife and kept them from killing me. that makes sense, because ar-15s are far easier to hold, far easier to shoot, easier to be accurate with than handguns. jay inslee banned them because he says no one needs them for defense. the move is going to destroy gun stores in the state. here's one gun store owner. he's worried. >> oh, pretty much anything from this point down that way will be illegal to buy. i'm bruce smith, the manager. we're running out of almost everything. anything they won't be able to get they're looking at. a lot of people have been on the fence. oh, i want to get one some day. that some day is today. you know, that some day they realize might be going away. the main part of our sales is going to be in the ar-style, or in a bunch of weapons that they are banning.

it's going to affect us a great deal. not sure exactly to what extent, but it's going to be a significant amount of our inventory is not going to be allowed to be sold. >> yeah. they'll buy them quickly, but won't buy them for a long time. jay inslee has just legalized pot. he's legalized fentanyl in washington state. he's putting that gun store manager out of business. why is he doing this? he says ar-15s are dangerous. how dangerous are they exactly? take a look at this chart. from 2007 to 2017, knives and blunt objects killed four times as many people as ar-15s. hands and feet killed more people than ar-15s. none of these people implementing these bans know what they're talking about. it's sad, because they have the power. now, this month the director of the atf, who's supposed to know a lot about firearms, you would assume couldn't define what an assault weapon is. >> i have some expertise in weaponry. and self-defense weapons.

what could you, in 15 seconds, would you define an assault weapon for me. >> 15 seconds, i'll interrupt you. >> i'll go shorter than that, because honestly i think that's -- if congress wishes to take that up, i think congress would have to do the work. we would be there to provide technical assistance. unlike you, i'm not a firearms expert to the same extent you may be. >> right. i'm not a firearms expert. that's the director of the atf, which stands for alcohol, tobacco and firearms. is he incompetent or just acting dumb? we can't say. why is he even nominated? the ultimate goal, as in canada, to ban all guns anyway. that's why you leave the definition vague, in my mind. it's also why joe biden talks about banning ghost guns, a scary term for components. in april of last year, biden tried to explain what a ghost gun was. watch this performance. >> if you buy a couch you have to assemble, it's still a couch. if you order a package like this

one over here, that includes the parts you need to assemble a firearm, you've bought a gun. take a look at this. comes in this picture. you can see the picture down here maybe. this is the gun. it's not hard to put together. a little drill, hand drill at home. doesn't take very long. anyone can order it in the mail. >> thanks for the demo. what joe biden is saying is that the federal government needs to regulate every single component of firearms to make them as hard to purchase and repair and replace as possible. so if he can't ban guns outright because of the constitutional bill of rights, he wants to make them as hard to buy as he can. he uses the term "ghost gun" because it sounds scary, but we have to give joe some credit.

he may not know much about guns, but probably knows more than sheila jackson lee. here's sheila jackson lee explaining why the ar-15s are so dangerous. >> my bill that i've introduced dealing with weapons, i've held an ar-15 in my hand. it is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving, and the bullet that is utilized, a 50-caliber, these kinds of bullets need to be licensed and do not need to be on the streets. >> got you. all right. these are the people who want to disarm you, so to speak, while they hire tens of thousands more armed irs agents, 87,000 i should say, along with bodyguards for their own protection. get your mind around this, because it's happening. dana lash lives this. she's an outstanding radio host and second amendment advocate and joins us to respond. dana, nine other states have done this. washington state will be the tenth. where are we heading? >> that's a great question.

from one outstanding radio host to another, brian, always good to see you. >> thank you. >> thanks for having me. every time i hear whether it's the atf director or whether it's joe biden or sheila jackson lee or eric swalwell, anyone talk about firearms, it's like watching a baby with a shape sorter trying to fit the square shape into the round hole, and it doesn't work. it's so incredibly frustrating to watch these people preen and lecture everyone and try to make rules and laws about things they can't articulate. that's the question, where is this going to go? seattle is having a crime increase, 15-year record high crime increase. the ban they passed in washington is bizarre. i don't know how it's remarkable, because it grandfathers current firearm owners in, police are exempt.

i mean, the types of arms they're talking about going after are involved in the fewest number of homicides annually, and have been since these numbers have been tabulated. it also gives them a pass to ignore the real problem, brian. you have weak das -- in my hometown of st. louis, the mayor of st. louis was just going off about firearms and firearm law. the problem is st. louis, that's kim gardner land, weak da land. >> she's the worst. >> that's weak penalties, playing politics with prosecutions, and innocent people suffer. the response shouldn't be to disarm law-abiding innocent people. >> right. >> it should be to enforce the deterrents and prosecute the offenders. that's not what's being done in washington or anywhere else. >> one thing they're doing, they got to ban assault weapons, mandate safety training, 10-day waiting periods. this is what's really scary, a bill creating a liability for firearm manufacturers. so if i go grab a gun, whoever made -- and i do something unsavory and break the law,

they'll sue whoever made the gun. if somebody gets drunk, takes their f-150 and kills somebody, you sue ford? since when? >> exactly. let's clarify this. gun manufacturers, firearm manufacturers, are not exempt from liability. that is a lie that the left is trying to tell people, because they're banking on people not knowing the law. if a firearm manufacturer makes a faulty product, just like any other manufacturer, if they make a faulty product, guess what, if it causes damage, then they're liable for that damage. they are liable for that. to use an inanimate object in a criminal fashion opposite the intended use, that is -- that's what they're talking about. >> yeah. >> just gave the example, you know, with vehicles. that's going to open the door to so much litigation. >> dana, lastly, 10 years ago the nra was much more powerful. 10 years ago the republicans had a voice in that state. where are we heading in the big picture, in the big

conversation? nobody wants these mass shootings, but i'm amazed how people are drilling down on the gun. they don't seem to care about the shooter. >> no, they don't in fact. that was a gun control advocate making a point. 26 states have passed permitless carry, a huge achievement in favor of second-chance rights. people want to be armed after seeing crime stats. the we're moving in the right direction state and state. they can put up a fight. the crimes don't lie. >> dana, thanks. have a great night. meanwhile president biden is running to be the oldest american president in history. he'll be 86 by the end. his second term if he wins. on wednesday, he was busted at a press conference because of a very good cameraman. he had a cheat sheet that not only had the questioner of the

"l.a. times," what they looked like, but the actual question the reporter would ask. joining us now to talk about why this would be, why this isn't normal, is larry elder. first watch for this yourself. >> it is entirely normal for a president to be briefed on reporters who will be asking questions at a press conference, and issues that we expect they might ask about. >> really? is that totally normal, larry elder? >> there's been some sort of communication, let's put it that way, between the biden administration and the "l.a. times" reporter. the question that was asked was a question on the card. it wasn't verbatim, but certainly suggests that the topic was offered, either by the reporter or offered by the white house, and the reporter parroted it. either way, it's bad news. there was a study done by "the federalist" that showed the democrat who covered the president's reporters outnumbered the republicans 12-1. joan walsh is a left wing reporter.

she covered the obama administration in 2008. she said during the -- during his rallies, reporters were literally mouthing his words. they were swooning, she said, her word, not mine. i'm old enough to remember, brian, when don brazil, then a correspondent for cnn, literally gave hillary the question for the 2016 debate. reporters have been blocking and tackling for the democrats for a long period of time. this is the latest example of that. >> remember, he entered the roosevelt room. how do i know that? it was on his card. he flashed it to the camera. he says, you take your seat. then he says, you give brief comments. you ask liz schuller to say a question. you thank participants. then you depart. it actually says you depart. it tells you you have to eventually leave the room. that to me is scary. it's worrisome. you would think a democrat would say, man, this is my opportunity to be president of the united states. this guy is vulnerable, because if you take the numbers, combine it with rfk jr., even though

there's no debate, they get little press, they've already got about 25% of the vote. >> well, that's right. "the washington post," brian, has not endorsed a republican for president in their history. "the new york times" has not done so since 1956. again, they're not reporters. they're activists. they hate, hate, hate donald trump. they fear that donald trump may come back. so no matter what joe biden does, no matter how his mental acuity is failing, they'll cover for him, attack donald trump. it's awful. it seems to me some of these reporters ought to be concerned about how left wing their own industry has become. apparently they're not. >> so gavin newsom was recalled. you ran against him. was unable to be successful. then he got his four more years. you said the heck for california, i'm going to run for president of the united states. what's your reaction to president trump indicating he's not going to go to the debates? >> well, that's why i'm running. i've got a website,

elderforpresident.com. when i ran for governor, i didn't go to the debates. i was the frontrunner. i knew that the argument as gavin newsom -- target was gavin newsom, not the others. i intend to be there. >> we don't know details, have dates, but it will be in august. larry elder, thank you so much. >> my pleasure. thank you for having me. >> he's ready to go. meanwhile, a male runner decided to compete in the london marathon. what's the big deal? oh, i remember. he ran as a female, and blew away 14,000 other runners. how is that fair? we'll discuss it next.

>> welcome back. glad you're here. it's a sad day in the world of tv. one of the titans of the industry has just passed away. kevin corkele with this story. kevin? >> evening, big k. be good to yourselves and each other. the immortal words of the late great tv talker jerry springer who died today at 79 years of

age, pancreatic cancer was the culprit. he infamously once paid an adult sex worker with a personal check, starred in a genre hats dominated television, certainly dominated daytime tv for decades. made him tens of millions of dollars along the way. yes, delighted there wrongs of gawkers spellbound by his tv circus. >> hey, welcome to the show.

>> tonight friends are celebrating his legacy and life as a trail blazer, and yes, also as a man who held up the mirror to show us often at our very worst. jerry springer, again, was 79-year-olds. b.k.? >> thanks a lot. meanwhile every day feels like there's a new story about a biological male, dominating women's sport. here's another. sunday a trans runner, biological male, beat 14,000 women in the female division of the london marathon, just over four years. he offered to give the medal back after the outrage. people pointed out how crazy is, but recently espn honored a biological man in its women's history month segment. >> in 2022, lia thomas became the first transgender athlete to win an ncaa division i championship by winning the 500

freestyle. the texas native competed for three seasons on the men's swim team at the university of pennsylvania. she competed against criticism from the swimming community, competitors and teammates. >> people who say she transitioned so she'd do better, i transitioned to be happy. >> wow. you left the network because of moments like this. good to see you. >> so happy to be here. >> what do you think? >> disgraceful. so many phenomenal athletes that could have used that recognition during women's month and they used lia thomas. you look at the issue in its essence, brian, i can tell you what's happening. it's men who aren't able to make a name for themselves against

other male athletes are finding a loophole. all i need to do is transition, identify as a woman, enter a woman's competition, and suddenly i dominate. >> two things. if that's something you're going through, nobody's judging you, you can do whatever you want. if you're going to compete in a women's event, there has to be a criteria. the international track has decided, you know, you can't do that. they got certain blood levels. lia thomas came out. she spoke out and said those who don't fully support her right to swim competitively in events designated for women are transphobic. do you agree with that. >> absolutely not. we're giving so much power to the word "transphobic" when it's come to mean nothing. we're standing up for women's rights. it's a slippery slope. right now a lot of the instances in the crossovers we're seeing with trans athletes are in individual sports, running, and

swimming, but what happens when it starts happening in contact sports? basketball, soccer, field hockey. then we're not talking about hurt feelings. we're talking about potentially life-threatening injuries. >> and lacrosse is another one at all different levels. tennis star martina 1 navratiloa insays we shouldn't have to explain it to you, stop explaining feminists to feminists. she gets blowback. >> it's crazy how hard women have fought. why is no one speaking up? i'm looking at the parents of young girls, who not only are being forced to compete against biological males in a lot of instances, but the sickening part of it is they're having to

share a locker room with the opposite sex, which is extremely uncomfortable. >> it's nuts. >> i don't know why parents aren't speaking out. this lunacy will gain traction. >> and riley gaines, stuck in a locker room for hours. another legendary swimmer, a woman, says she says a problem with this. everyone is trending lightly. tthe transgender woman in london beat 14,000 other women, and then said i'll give back the medal. >> it's not about the medal. it's like a participation trophy, right? also ran the new york city marathon back in november under that man's name. we're saying, hey, listen, go back to running in the men's

division. guess what. you can still wear your silly costume and sports bra, but stay out of the women's way. >> there are about 40 other professional athletes, or high-level athletes, who came out and supported transgender athletes. if they beat you out of your spot, you might have a different view. >> brian, i was an athlete all through high school. i cannot imagine the agony these girls are going through, because i know there's so many of them who do not agree, because once they do they know they'll be canceled. >> you'll have a morning show at 7:00. you'll start before the football season. >> this is the place you can get an alternative view on sports. we'll talk about the important issues. i hope to see everybody there. >> you will, i promise. >> absolutely. >> coming up straight ahead, joe biden's energy czar has a big plan for military vehicles to make them go green. it could actually weaken our national security in the process. more on that straight ahead. our next guest just made a big

announcement. he joins us with his friend baby dog. that's straight ahead. >> told every bad joke in the world about us. so from that standpoint, baby dog tells bette midler and all those out there kiss her heinie. my a1c was up here; now, it's down with rybelsus®. his a1c? it's down with rybelsus®. my doctor told me rybelsus® lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill and that people taking rybelsus® lost more weight. i got to my a1c goal and lost some weight too. rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop rybelsus® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes.

>> joe manchin was instrumental? getting joe biden's infrastructure bill passed, for example. shock to everybody. also outraged a lot of voters in west virginia, which is a deep red state. now west virginia's republican governor, who's got 66% approval rating, jim justice, has decided to run against joe manchin for the senate seat. this is his first interview since the press conference. governor, thanks for saving the announcement for us. what was the major reason you decided now's the time to run? >> well, brian, what it boils

down to it -- and i mean this, whether people it or don't buy it, it don't matter to me -- i'm really a patriot, brian. i deeply love this country. i don't want anything -- you know, i've never wanted anything for serving. you know, i'm not a politician that wants something for me. you hear that all the time. i drive myself. don't take take a salary. feed myself. absolutely with all in me i want goodness for america. i'm really worried. i'm really worried about this nation. we could be more fragile than what we think. if we don't watch out, we spin around two or three times, look what's going on today. my goodness gracious sakes. we're plenty too smart to not think there's a really problem. our president struggles. the border is terrible. afghanistan is an embarrassment. over and over. inflation. we ought to be energy independent. it's just on and on and on.

we got to do something about it. >> joe manchin keeps winning, a democrat in a red state. why do you think you'll do a better job than joe manchin? >> at the end of the day, brian, i'm not compromised. you know, i absolutely believe that for good or for bad, joe migrates back too much. you know, in this situation, that we have right now, we have got to take control of the senate. that's all there is to it. i mean, you can say anything you want, in any way, but it's time for the republicans to take control of the senate. >> not only do you own multiple businesses, multiple jobs, including coaching high school basketball, girls, you're managing to raise your dog on camera. baby dog is a constant presence. will baby dog be making the trip to washington should you need to go back and forth? >> well, absolutely, absolutely.

if i'm there, baby dog will be there. she may not be able to go in all the halls with me and everything, but she'll make the trip. and -- and -- she brings -- you know, the bottom line is, brian, the whole thing, she makes people smile and loves everybody. i don't know how the message could be any more simpler than just that. >> right. >> she's been a blessing to a lot, a lot of people. >> 66% approval rating. head-to-head you beat joe manchin by 20-30 points. you're called a rino. joe manchin said i'm laser focused on my job, lowering healthcare, everything else, shoring up american security and energy, getting our fiscal house in order, but make no mistake i will win any race i enter. your answer to joe manchin? >> oh, i think, you know, that's a typical political response and

everything. calling me a rino, you know, people in west virginia don't know who mooney is. oh, this went babydog. he's a terrapin, you know, a turtle. i just think that at the end of the day, you know, my record stands for -- for itself. >> right. >> that's the way it needs to be. >> president trump played a major role in you flipping from democrat to republican. do you believe president trump can win this whole thing? >> absolutely. i hope like crazy that to be the case. we had a real president three years ago, did we not? and today we're struggling beyond belief. the whole world is all to pieces. absolutely i believe that president trump not only can win, i believe he will win, and it will be a great day for america.

>> he's going to go out and try to get the six years as a senator after two terms as a governor, a self-made multimillionaire, billionaire, owning the place he's in now, greenbrier. he's a heck of a golfer. you were captain of your college golf team at marshall. governor, thanks for the quality time. best of luck in the run. we'll talk to you again. >> all right, brian, thank you a bunch. thank you guys. >> i happy you find your dog. babydog got away in the middle. let's change gears. joe biden's energy secretary is not exactly a trustworthy authority on green energy. she held stock in green energy companies while she was serving in office. now granholm is pushing to electrify the military. watch. >> do you support the military adopting that ev fleet by 2030? >> i do.

i think we can get there as well. i do think reducing our reliance on the volatility of globally-traded fossil fuels, where global events, such as the war in ukraine, can jack up prices for people back home. it does not contribute to energy security. >> all right. green tanks finally. kevin o'leary is a chairman of o'leary ventures, big patriot. is that how we should be greening up our military? >> it's going to be a difficult mandate to be honest with you. i don't think we'll be ready for that. last time i looked there are no charging stations on the battlefield. you have to think about people sacrificing or risking their lives, defending the country, having the very best equipment they can have. evs may advance, one day that may be a possibility. i don't see it anytime soon. that's the practical reality. there's no way this is going to happen unless they test this technology. i can't see, you know, electric tanks, for example, armored cars.

very difficult. when you're in a battle, you don't know where you have to go next or how far you have to go. you certainly don't have time to charge up for 25 minutes, having a car, while you're being shot at. i don't think that's going to work. at least the discussion is starting, because everybody started to figure out it's not easy to determine the pace by which we can electrify all forms of transportation. you're not going to do that to a jet anti-soon. you still need jet fuel. you can't fly over to europe in a plane powered by solar. it's not going to work. so all of these technologies have their time schedule. it's great to have the debate. but when you want to protect military forces, you have to give them the very best. they deserve that. they're risking their lives. >> that's what i worry about. listen, i know these vehicles, they're quieter, which is good on the bald field. hybrid is the first hurdle to clear. you have a four-ton battery, you can't bring anything with that vehicle.

that's a problem in the military. we're taking an finite amount of money, but we have conflicts that need our attention. >> it's true. this is hard-core r&d. an example that's been frustrating and disappointing, billions of dollars put into technology for automated driving. where are we at? nowhere. if you get an automated vehicle, you get in a rain shower, you die. that's not going to work. it's a long way away. it's okay to advance these technologies, but implementing their use, giving a specific timetable, six or seven years, i don't think that's reality. >> the department of defense says climate change is a major national security issue. no offense. it's something to look at.

but when i see china, see the influence happening in latin america, when i see that we can't get ukraine arms that they need, and that we can't get taiwan arms they paid for, i really wonder where our priorities are. are you concerned? >> you know, i'm glad we're having a narrative on climate change. i'll tell you why, because if you look at what's being done in china -- i'm glad you brought it up -- china, for example, has just commissioned two $14 billion refineries, using brand-new technology that sequesters carbon. they're becoming the shining example of supporting carbonless energy. we're not doing anything. we haven't built a refinery since 1967 in louisiana 'cause we can't get permits. that's frustrating to watch our adversary, our economic adversary at least, advance the climate change narrative, being

cleaner than we are. >> they're building coal mines. they got to buy the oil, the goss. we have it all, but we're not refining it. kevin o'leary said he's going to get into the refinery business. i'll track that along the way, see how i can invest. kevin, thank you so much. >> you got it. take care. >> meanwhile, joe biden can't find the best and brightest to serve in his administration. his nominees struggle with basic questions. we have a brand-new example. that story and more straight ahead. don't go anywhere.

when a truck hit my car, the insurance company wasn't fair.

i didid't t kn whahatmy c caswa, so i called the barnes firm. i'm rich barnes. it's hard for people to k how much their accident case is worth.h barnes. t ouour juryry aorneneys hehelpou

i was hit by a car get t tand needed help.oiblele. t ouour juryry aorneneys hehi called the barnes firm. that was the best call i could've made. i'm rich barnes. it's hard for people to know how much their accident case is let our injury attorneys know he how much their accident cget the best result possible. >> welcome back. you might remember back in 2016 the city of san francisco decided -- this is brilliant -- to boycott 30 states. they said those states were not respecting lgbtq and abortion rights. therefore san francisco ordered employees got to travel there in america. in other words, they refused to do business with anyone that disagrees with them. how's that working out for san francisco seven years later?

as a practical either pa, the boycott was not effective. san francisco did more than $800 million in business in those states anyway. what kind of boig is that? even california's gavin newsom, the governor, took a fourth of july vacation in pretty red montana, a state that so-called boycott was effective in. how did he end up there? how does he still have a job, by the way? now san francisco board of supervisors voted to end the charade. a supervisor said the boycott was making the city less efficient, if that's possible. specifically the city found the boycott had cost the city $475,000 in staffing expenses. as it turns out, it's expensive to suppress free speech. who knew. now this. joe biden now has a well established track record of nominating incompetent people to serve important jobs in government. here, for example, was biden's nominee to lead the faa, which oversees air travel. >> can you quickly tell me what

airspace requires a transponder? quickly, please. >> thank you for the question, senator. i'm not sure i can answer that question right now. >> so are what the six types of special use airspace that protect this national security that appear on faa charts? quickly, please. >> sorry, senator, i cannot answer that question. >> so can you tell me what the minimum separation distance is for landing departing airliners during the daytime, mr. washington? >> i don't want to guess on that, senator. >> yeah, please don't guess on that. joe biden's nominee, for example, the ambassador to the african union, extremely important, isn't exactly up to snuff either. last year she admitted she failed her first foreign officer test. >> in our test, you have to take a written exam, then there's an oral assessment. it takes time. it's a difficult path. the first year i took the exam it was, you know, pencil and

paper, i came in from my village to the capital, and i was on village time, and, you know, i couldn't even get through the english grammar section, which was my forte, because i was on village time, and i hadn't gotten through about 2/3 of the questions, and they said, okay, time's up. so i didn't pass that year. >> i didn't know kenny g was in the room. kind of interesting, that background music. joe simonson is an investigative reporter, and broke this story. this is an important job. i mean, africa is a continent we're in contention with with china and russia. she's not ready for this job. >> no. brian, you missed the best part. she failed it twice. she had to take it three times. >> oh, yeah. >> exactly, she blames it on living on so-called village time. i'll let you your viewers look into what that means exactly. i won't get into it here, don't worry.

but exactly, this is parent of a pattern from the white house of not exactly nominating the most qualified individual for this post. some republican senators are pumping the brakes, saying we're not going to wave through all these people as i mentioned for an important post, to basically be the ambassador for the entire african continent. >> i justed into into the background, the hearings, how it's going. j.d. vance, among the senators, said, i don't even know if you're qualified or not, but i don't like your approach, because you're pandering. the they need economic health. guess who is doing that. 1-2-3 china. also russia. we need to aid these countries in their quest to thrive in that continent. >> right, exactly, brine.

her last post was ambassador to ghana. during her post there, she was calling, demanding for gay rights parades in ghana during her 2020 fourth of july address, which was done virtually, of course, because of covid, and she was scared of the coronavirus. she was talking about george floyd and structural racism. one of the things that senator vance is trying to focus on is that these state department officials are completely political sizing their positions, and they're not necessarily not qualified to begin with. >> joe, we used to have different philosophies, i get it, during the cold war, but seems like we have to convince our state department to like america, be proud of it when you go to help other countries, because they seem to like us more than we like ourselves. >> right, exactly. sure. you know, it's very difficult to understand where the biden administration is coming from, like you said, this nomination,

this woman doesn't seem to appreciate america very much. most dangerously, we have adversaries like china building roads and bridges in these countries. >> but they extort them. they say, i'll build you a road and bridge, you can't afford to pay, so we'll take it. we do not do that. we help people. we don't take from people. that would be our calling card, because we do it the right way. why doesn't our state department understand that? this is an important job, another person who checks boxes. joe, thank you. >> more news that you need to hear about right after this.

i'm sholeh, and i lost 75 pounds with golo. i went from a size 20 to a size 6. before golo, nothing seemed to work. i was exercising for over an hour every day. it was really discouraging. but golo's so easy, the weight just falls off. >> brian: thanks so much for watching tonight. coming up your direction repeated at 11:00, among our great guest

i have talked to their agents, they'll both appear and that is great news. grant and a pair, all he said was "all lives matter" and he got fired after 30 years with the segmental kings. talk about what he can get hired now and i believe how wrong that is but all of that coming your way saturday night but on thursday night the great sean hannity and his friends. a lot of friends, right? >> sean: you have ""fox & friends"." we have hannity and friends. thank you all for coming! welcome to "hannity." we have a live audience and this is a rowdy crowd. there you go. and tonight we have a grim reality. more and more americans now believe that president joey is not capable of serving a second term. do you all agree with that
