and it's really fun. and it's one that you should check out if you have kids interested in history. tomorrow on "special report," we will release new fox polls on the primary season, the debt ceiling, anything you want to know. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for "special report" fair, balanced and still unafraid. "jesse watters primetime" starts right now. hey, jesse. >> jesse: hey, bret. thank you. ♪ fox news alert, florida governor ron desantis is announcing is he running for president tomorrow. it's going to happen at 6:00 p.m. eastern on twitter. what does that mean? the governor is going to do an interview with elon musk, world's richest man, owner of twitter on something called twitter spaces. what's twitter spaces? well, it's like a zoom call without video. the "new york times" is reporting that the announcement will be audio only. it's basically like a live radio interview on twitter and listeners can ask questions. now, you have to astliewm has

got to be some sort of video component to this. i guess a part of the drama of the announcement, no one knows what this thing is going to look like or sound like. >> we will be interviewing ron desantis and he quite an announcement to make. it will be the first time that something like this is happening on social media and with real time questions and answers. not scripted. >> jesse: not scripted. okay. this is obviously a nontraditional way to announce. usually candidates have a big rally with a huge crowd behind them holding up signs, clapping. you capture the raw energy of supporters live and then it's distributed everywhere. it's possible desantis didn't want to compete with the trump rally phenomenon. you don't want to get into a crowd measuring contest with the former president. trump also isn't on twitter he is on his own social media deal truth social so that could be a

factor here. we are wondering how the event is going to be editing and distributed throughout the media landscape without knowing what the video component is going to be. just a second ago, the desantis team dropped this teaser clip which might give us a taste of tomorrow. watch. ♪ >> do i have the courage? is it worth the sacrifice? america has been worth it every single time. >> jesse: desantis' twitter tactic could be driven by impact. musk has 140 million followers. they aren't all americans, most of them are. the bet could be on pure numbers. not aesthetics. last year elon said he would support desantis in 2024. now he is saying he is not endorsing anyone yet. i'm not at this time going to endorse any particular candidate. i would like someone fairly normal and sensible to be the president. that would be great. >> jesse: good luck. because normal people don't run for president. elon musk the world's richest

man is hosting the republican presidential announcement on a social media platform that traditional republican primary voters aren't familiar with. so this is an experiment. but, however it shakes out, everyone, everywhere will know that ron desantis is running for president. trump's campaign seized on the desantis announcement. quote: this is one of the most out-of-touch campaign launches in modern history. only thing less relatable than a niche campaign launch on twitter is desantis' elite party miami. every day more and more americans are realizing how out-of-accept desantis is with their values and how unelectable he is. from votes to cut social security and medicare. see, ron desantis just isn't ready to be president. president trump is ready on day one to turn our country around. reverse biden's disastrous policies and make america great again. now, trump is still way ahead in the republican primary polling. on average he is leading ron desantis by almost 40 points.

so desantis has his work cut out for him. trump has always held the lead but expanded it significantly when he was indicted by manhattan d.a. alvin bragg. look at that see that trend line? trump's numbers really shot up there in answer. so we are about to find out how much of a political athlete ron desantis is. how does desantis condemn the phony investigations into donald trump while keeping a safe distance from him? now, ron needs to figure out how to deal with the trump investigations if he looks like he supports the investigations, he will lose every republican voter. but if he supports trump while trump's hammering him, he looks weak, desantis has to be nimble here because he will need trump's voters and his political career is just beginning. and fox has the republican primary debate coming up in august. so that's really going to be the first time when we really see how ron handles the heat. trump's flirting with the idea of not showing up. now, that could be for leverage.

but republican voters expect him to be there remember the 2016 republican primary debates? some of the best tv ever. now, with all this action in the republican primary, joe biden's justice department is about to make a move. the "wall street journal's" reporting biden's prosecutors are getting close to indicting trump over the documents at mar-a-lago. word is they might get trump on an obstruction charge. so, here we go again. obstructing a crime he didn't commit. and we hear the special counsel, jack smith pulled all of trump's business records since 2017 and couldn't find anything. could you imagine if prosecutors looked into the biden family business records? so, but we have here is the same department of justice that's been covering up biden's bribe scandal and deep sixing the hunter investigation. and letting biden stash classified docs in chinatown. his open garage and, you know, the china funded biden center. those same agents are about to move on trump. and these are the same theaghts

killed both of hillary's fbi investigations. one of the clinton foundation. the other into a campaign finance scandal. and the same agents that spied on the trump campaign, the same people that covered up the laptop are now letting biden off the hook and could soon arrest biden's potential opponent. now, remember, donald trump was impeached for asking someone to investigate biden. and now biden is investigating and then arresting donald trump? okay. so, how does desantis play off that? it's tricky. the bidens' move show how fragile the man is with numbers this pathetic, i would probably arrest my opponent, too. two thirds of americans can't stand how biden is handling the economy, inflation, the border, and guns. and two thirds of americans think he is taking the country in the wrong direction. and the same amount of people think he is not healthy enough or mentally sharp enough to be president. and if you ask hillary, biden not even make it out of his first term, so, in that case,

whoever does win the republican primary, trump or desantis, may be able to just waltz right into the white house. that is unless the fbi stops them. let's bring in charlie hurt. he is a "washington times" columnist and a fox news contributor. the musk-desantis event tomorrow, what are we expecting? >> well, ron desantis is stealing a page from trump's playbook. where you go around traditional media. you go directly to people. you hijack social media, just the way trump did in 2016. and trump proved that you can actually take it all the way to the presidency by doing that. >> jesse: i'm the tv guy. i'm nervous i might not have video to show. >> you described it perfectly. twitter spaces or whatever it is called is basically radio on the internet. that's all you need to know. and elon musk is going to be one of them talking and ron desantis. maybe they will be like little labels at the bottom so we know who is talking.

>> jesse: okay. so they are taking calls? so musk is going to like emcee this thing? >> it's like a c-span call-in morning show. >> jesse: okay. got it at 6:00 p.m. eastern. >> yeah. 6:00 p.m. >> jesse: he waited a while to get in. now he is going to be in tomorrow. the timing of this, how does that factor in? >> by launching the campaign we can see what his official campaign is going to look like and start raising money. the problem is he has been running for months. the more that he runs, the lower his poll numbers go. i think poll numbers right now are completely irrelevant. they mean absolutely nothing. you raise a really interesting point about joe biden arresting -- having donald trump arrested. i think that what's going on there is i think doj is still working for the biden white house. still working for democrats politically. and because the biden white house basically sees donald trump as the only person they can actually beat.

i think they are wrong about that, but that's how they see it. and every time they throw something at donald trump, he gets way more popular. i think they are going to try to arrest him. they will pull out all the stops to make sure. >> jesse: what does desantis say if biden arrests trump? >> good question. that's one of the many hornets nests that ron desantis is going to have to face. he will have to figure it out. the problem for desantis is he has tremendous support in florida. he has done great things in florida. but, if you talk to people in florida who love him, the reason to believe they love him is because they have been personally affected by his policies and what he has done. if you live in iowa. you have not been personally affected by who ron desantis has done with his policies in florida. and he has got to figure out how to convey that donald trump has this loyal following. ron desantis is still kind of figuring out how to convey that to voters he hasn't personally affected. >> jesse: so desantis says after they arrest trump, he has to say

i'll pardon the former president. >> that would be a good first step. >> jesse: all right. we will see how it shakes out. thank you very much. charlie hurt. coming up, target pulled a bud light and partnered with a trans satanist. also this lady. >> we need trans people. we love transpeople. transpeople belong here. we need trans people. we love trans people. trans people belong here. o 100 we don't have to worry. eh, not worried. take control of your financial future to empower what's next. are you tired of clean clothes that just don't smell clean? downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters keep your laundry smelling fresh waaaay longer than detergent alone. if you want laundry to smell fresh for weeks, make sure you have downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters.

>> jesse: there are some things women don't like their husbands getting involved. in they don't want your thoughts on decorating. they don't want you overhearing their phone calls with their mother. and they definitely don't want you showing up to ladies night.

[shouting] [laughter] >> jesse: do women want men shopping in the women's clothing department? well, someone should tell target that because they are now selling swim suits with tuck-ems in the women's section of the store and even have a line just for kids. >> we're at target right now and there is a lot of controversy going on about all of the pride stuff that's coming out with kids clothes. this is the child section. this is literally the kids section. i'm next to a literal onesie that says whatever the hell that means. we have glad you came out. and i'm so happy that you're queer in the kids section. are you kidding me? i'm sorry, but pride and toddler don't belong in the same sentence. tuck friendly construction. they are giving it to your kids.

>> jesse: oh and it gets worse. target hired a satan nist to put together their pride line. go on the page see satan loves you and respects who you are. he is a symbol of passion, pride and liberty. and satan respects pronouns. so if you want little johny upper wearing a satan protects pronounces over a tuck-em swimsuit check out target. a weird thing to sell. if you look around, that's all we are being sold. a fasten the l.a. dodgers get ready for dingers. dodgers are hosting a pride night. ball ball clubs have hosted pride nights before the one at dodger stadium is special. dudes dressing up at nuns might throw out the first itch '. call themselves the sisters of perpetual indulgence what they're about is this. drag queens mocking the catholic church. >> we are 21st century nuns. >> i will tell you a little bit about what it takes to back -- >> we use the term ministry very

loosely because my ministry is making someone laugh, putting a smile on somebody's face. >> we realized right away that the nuns habit contain as lot of social stigmas all in one. gender issues. gender i'd tid issues and religious bigotry. [chanting] >> jesse: so some dodgers fans are not happy with the announcement. they didn't want cross dressing nuns insulting their family's faith at the game. so the dodgers pulled the invite. but you don't uninvite the anti-christian guys in drag unless you want to have the mob after you. don't you get it? you're the problem. the guys wearing wigs ridiculing sister mary are welcomed anywhere. no questions asked. so the dodgers caved. pride night featuring the hate group is back on. the dodgers bud lighted themselves for drag queens desis he creating the catholic church. same thing with target.

sure profits and customers are nice. but do you shatter? it all it is ever about. if you shatter hard enough you can be anything. can you have your own satanic tuck-em brand for target. be on the mound baseball game mocking jesus. don't mock a law though. that's a hate crime. and can you even be the country's first drag laureate. just look at san francisco. who announced they were going to give money to this guy for being drag. >> to put this on sort of a national stage, really does make a profound difference. i hope it inspires cities across the country and the globe to do the same. if we sparkle harder and we really bring to the table the joy that is drag, i think that is a sound that can't really be silenced. >> jesse: you sparkle, you get paid. that's taxpayer funded sparkle so the sparkle won't be that bright but it will have a great healthcare plan and still work

from home. so, sure, san francisco has a homeless drug and crime problem but what they really need is a drag laureate. happens baal because the people running this country only speak in slogans. just watch this one nebraska state senator spell it all out for us. >> we need trans people. we love transpeople. trans people belong here. we need transpeople. we love transpeople. trans people belong here. we need trans people. we love trans people. trans people belong here. we need trans people. we love trans people. you matter. you matter. and i am fighting for you. >> jesse: voters elected that woman in nebraska. you yell, you shatter, you win. that's all it is. and why politicians in corporate america is knee deep in all of this. they want attention without being canceled. and in 2023, the best way to do that is brand yourself trans without bud lighting yourself. it's a very fine line.

that's where the sweet spot is. so jesus, no. satan, yes. and definitely no catholic knights at dodger stadium. that's not inclusive enough. the best way to lose the culture war is not fight the culture war. so, what are we going to do about it? let's bring in the battle cry founders carrie, britney and melissa o'connor. melissa, are you going to be going to the dodgers game? >> no, i will not be, jesse. i'm going to be here with my girlfriends doing deep dives into the sexual revolution where we learned about alfred mckenziey, hugh hefner, john money, the history of the trans flag and how it brought us to where we are today which is in a horrible place. >> jesse: so you are not going to be carrie, shopping for tuck-em swim suits at target. >> i'm not. but i may be calling on america to go into every target with our call to action cards, which can

you find at on our instagram at the battle cry underscore us. we are going to challenge you, america, if you are watching this, i think you are interested. we have a june challenge for you. where we want you to use correct pronounce and can you look at this printout. print these out, cut them out and drop them everywhere in target. and every single store that is pushing the cult on to our children. let them know how you feel and where you stand. >> jesse: carrie, we just got this sheet handed to us. it looks like target is pulling some of this crazy line from their stores. do you consider that a victory? >> no, it's not. jesse. we here at the battle cry have been saying that this is a cult. we have been dealing with a gender ideology cult. and now we are seeing this cult on full display in the name of pride. we are standing up against this cult. we will win this battle. and we need you, the people, to rise up and stand up with us and fight this battle alongside with

us, ladies here at the battle cry. >> jesse: britney, who is winning? >> well, right now it looks like target got in bed with the devil. and if you don't like that, it's time now to get really loud. parents, pastors, consumers, they are making it pitifully obvious for you to see that we are in a war of good vs. evil and your children are the target. so if we want to win, it's going to take all of us getting involved. and that's why we invite you into this battle at the battle cry underscore u.s. on instagram. get involved. get loud. let target know that we are ready to bud light them. if they don't call it quits now. we have the power to push back and tell them enough is enough. >> jesse: all right, battle cry, thanks for joining "primetime," we will see you guys later. >> thank you for having us, jesse. >> jesse: up next, why is this in they professor threatening a reporter with a machete? >> get away from my door get the

what are you going to do like anti-trans next? is that what you are going to do next? >> no. we are talking about abortion. >> this is [bleep]. this is violence. you are triggering my students. >> i'm sorry about that. >> no. you are not. because you can't even have a [bleep] baby. so you don't even know what that is. you don't know what this is. get out of here [bleep] >> jesse: nutty professor you saw there is shellyne rodriguez adjunct professor at the college and artist kind of like hunter biden is an artist. so what does the school think about her little tantrum. well, after it happened the school said they let her off with a warning. maybe she had a bad day. i mean, you should say how i acted when johnny doesn't have my salad ready then a "new york post" reporter showed up at her door just to ask her some questions, and she almost beheaded our reporter. here is video from the "new york post" who is a sister company of the fox news channel. >> get away from my door. get the [bleep] away from my door. >> let's get out of here.

you can't do that. >> jesse: all right. so did you see the size of the knife? that was like crocodile did you ucrock dundee'sknife. that's one strike. i'm not a lawyer but i'm pretty sure you are not allowed to threaten a journalist's throat for asking questions. and guess whether a she did after the stunt at her apartment? she chased him down the street with the w machete. thank god nobody put that lady in a chokehold. you could get life in jail for that county "new york post" catch a break. first they censor us and then they try to chop our heads off. when trump called reporters hacks, the "new york times" said he was attacking freedom of the press. what do you call that? well, this is apparently where hunter college has drawn the line. after they got word of the incident, they released this statement, quote: hunter college strongly condemns the unacceptable actions of shellyne rodriguez and has taken immediate action. rodriguez relieved of her duties at hunter college effective immediately and will not be returning to teach at the

school. now, as for rodriguez, she hasn't said a word about any of it. fox asked her for comment, haven't heard back. but we did find out that she's suing the nypd for allegedly abusing her during the george floyd protests. oh, and another thing, the nutty professor calls herself a black marxist. so there's that. clay travis is the founder of outkick and co-host of the clay travis and buck sexton show. so, our reporter almost got beheaded and none of the rest of the media has said that freedom of the press is under attack. >> well, i just -- jesse, when is this white supremacy going to end? i just -- i see attacks like this. we have got a white supremacist clearly right there with a machete trying to kill someone. i'm surprised hunter college didn't condemn white supremacy in their statement as well when they decided to fire this woman. look, i mean. >> jesse: she is the black

marxist face of white supremacy. jess. >> that is exactly what it is, jesse. look, you know, i want to make sure that i am kind of and considerate of everyone. am i wrong or when she was destroying the pro-life table, did she assume that guy's gender? she said he couldn't have a baby. i mean, first of all, men can have babies. men can evidently -- women have penises now. we don't know the gender. for her to just presume his pronouns i frankly find it unacceptable. white supremacy, pronoun assumption. this is violent microaggression. >> you can serve more prison anytime new york than can you for threatening to slit their throats. how would clay travis have handled that throws that blade next to your gullett. >> what are the odds you get a

machete pulled on you anywhere. i love the crocodile dundee reference you had. how many machetes are there in new york? i hope it was not like super sharp. remember back in the day when people used to show off like ninjas how sharp their swords are they throw a piece of paper in the air and the sword would slice it in half? it doesn't take much to put pressure on a juggler there. i think i would have been totally frozen like that reporter was who definitely didn't expect that to happen then to get chased. this woman is crazy, which means she probably fit in perfectly well in the ivory tower at the university. >> jesse: as a white guy, you probably should have just let your throat be slit. that's really what the move is there. don't threaten the woman with the machete. you don't want any more aggression. clay, thank you very much. we're going to send to you ask someone questions next time. >> hey, tell your mom i hope she will handle your abortion opinion better. that legitimately made me laugh. >> jesse: i might get an abortion and the worst thing

about it is going to be telling my mother. because you know what? i have got to go. >> men have abortions all the time now according to democrats. that's going to be a tough conversation. good luck. >> jesse: it is. clay, thank you very much. coming up, well, this guy played a prank on the wrong guy. >> it better be water, partner or you're one dead son of a [bleep]. you almost died you stupid son of a [bleep].

♪ >> jesse: rope desantis is announcing his presidential run tomorrow and democrats are already kneecapping him with a racial stink bomb. they are not just calling desantis racist they are saying the whole state of florida is a racist caliphate. the naacp an arm of the dnc put out a travel advisory warning americans don't go to florida it's too dangerous and hostile. don't plenty of black people live in florida like the naacp chair? >> we haven't told anybody to leave. in fact, the naacp is encouraging folks to stay here and fight. if there was ever a reason to

stand your ground, it's black people, lgbtq community, the immigrant community, women need to stand our ground in florida and fight and understand that the fight is a political fight. >> jesse: don't go there but don't leave? i'm confused naacp. florida is a great state to live for black americans, for any americans no state income tax. very low property tax plus you have conceal carry and there is fresh fruit everywhere. buff the view, which is owned by disney, you know, they are in a big fight with ron desantis, they are taking the naacp travolta advisory and they're running with it. >> this cat down in florida, i mean, black people know there's a problem in florida. that's just what i wanted to say. >> minnie mouse knows there is a problem in florida. >> everybody knows. >> problem. >> you know. >> jesse: same show celebrated

its anniversary in the bahamas a former slave colony called florida racist. also i think there is someone on that show that lives in florida and just was partying in miami. they don't just hate florida republicans. they hate black republicans the most. >> he is one of these -- you know he is like clarence thomas, black republican pulling yourself by your boot straps rather than to me understanding the systemic racism that african-americans face in this country and other minorities. he doesn't get it. neither does clarence. >> right. >> that's why they are republicans. >> jesse: really? black people aren't capable of success themselves so they need to wait around for white democrats to save them? you don't want black americans to improve their condition? you just want to make them permanent victims? and the democrats say everyone is racist except them. but senator feinstein can't even tell tim scott and senator warnock apart.

d actor ice cube is calling for a change. listen. >> i don't know whate african-an community when it comes to that. you know what i mean? like, black people have supported democrats, you know, overwhelmingly for 50, 60 years. and nothing has changed. so something has got to change jess cigarettes politics professor and author of hate crime hoax author wilfred c. reilly joins me now. professor, what's behind the travel ban, really? >> i mean, what's behind the travel ban is that ron desantis declared officially that he was running for president about a day ago. i mean, we're not talking about the old green book here, jesse. there's obviously no danger that the state of florida poses to african-americans as versus the

city of new york or the city of baltimore or my beloved hometown of chicago, florida's 17% black. you know, # hundred thousand new black immigrants since 2,000. as you pointed out, the head of the naacp, the guy who i believe wrote this edict lives in florida. so this is politics. >> jesse: "the view" was just in florida like half that table was partying at some drag queen brunch, whoopi zoomed in to say hi. they are all gonna ignore the travel advisory. it's a stunt everybody sees through it. naacp hates ron desantis in the same week he announces he was running for president. that's what they are saying. is this going to effect votes? >> i don't think this guy works with too many normal people. in terms of what kind of experts the people on "the view" are, whoopi goldberg once said that

everyone is racist except for hitler. quote, the holocaust isn't about race. i mean joy behar is an upper middle class white woman saying who is clarence thomas and tim scott don't know how much you face as a black person? there are regime media outlets that will repeat this kind of thing. we obviously have media on the right and on the left in this country. but i don't think the average voter, the average steel worker in cleveland is going to say whoopi goldberg opposes this, you know, i can't stand this desantis fellow. i don't think that's how things are going to break down. >> jesse: all right. didn't joy wear black face? i think i remember seeing that. professor, thank you so much. well, up next, what do you do when someone pranks you? >> don't touch me. >> get the [bleep] away from me. >> dude, all right. >> just one more [bleep] time. get the [bleep] away from me or
