this week in yorba linda, california. the nixon. return of a new exhibit. 150 veterans and their families greeted by hundreds of cheering supporters waiving u.s. flags along the parade route. that does for us. thanks for inner violating us into your home tonight. that's it for this "special report," fair, balance wanted and unafraid. "jesse watters primetime" rachel campos-duffy joins us now. hey, rachel. >> hey, bret. thanks a lot. ♪ >> rachel: welcome to a special edition of "jesse watters primetime." i'm rachel campos-duffy. ron desantis announced his presidency last night and things got off to bad start. he chose to announce with an audio only interview on twitter. hall of fame hour of dead air, glitches and technical issues before we finally got to hear from the governor. now, for a guy who made his name fighting all the covid rules, i

will still never understand why he chose a socially distanced rollout. but, to be fair, desantis tried something different. but it was a gamble and he ended up only getting a fraction of the live viewers he would have if he had done a more traditional rollout. media took the opportunity to dunk on the governor because of it. >> this would be like 162 game baseball season and your star pitcher getting the ball and accidently throwing it and hitting himself in the face. >> this is not a normal way to begin. you would ordinarily want to be with normal people. not a billionaire. regular voters. where are they in this whole thing. >> it was an abomination. and just so much -- all around from desantis. >> there was a lot of stumbling and bumbling. >> does paint a picture of someone who does not make good decisions. boy did he look like a lap dog to a billionaire.

>> it wasn't all bad. desantis raised over a million dollars. he did his first interview with fox trey gowdy. went much smoother. the governor was able to tell america why he is running for president. >> well, why now? i think it's because the country is going in the wrong direction. we have another four years of the biden administration. i think some of the damage is going to be irreversible. you got to be able to win and then when you get in office, you have got to be able to deliver results. and i think we have been able to do both of those as desantis made his name culture wars. travel advisory days before he was announcing telling black people his state wasn't safe for them. it devoured the news cycle for the entire week. desantis shot back last night. >> florida's crime rate is at a 50-year low. compare that to places like chicago or baltimore, i don't hear the naacp talking about that.

since i have been governor, some of the people who contributed to our record tourism have been board members of the naacp. how do i know? because they have put pictures of their florida vacation on their social media accounts. >> rachel: but, in the eyes of the media, desantis is just a racist. >> i may not be racist but i do a really good impression of somebody who is deeply racist. he himself has made florida such hell hole for gay people, trans people, and black people. >> exactly what ron desantis is looking to do anyway. looking to get rid of black history. >> why do you dislike people of color. >> interestingly, desantis didn't mention the elephant in the room once last night. trump. he is trying to side step the republican frontrunner and go right to biden. >> we have a president who is a listless vessel, not energetic and not dealing with the key challenges that are facing our country. but it does not have to be this way. our decline as a country is not

inevitable. it is a choice. i th might be pretending to ignore trump but trump isn't ignoring desantis. >> when the ron desanctimonious facts come out, you will see that he is better than most democrat governors but very average, at best, compared to republican governors who have done a fantastic job. look at disney and what a mess it is. could have worked out afternoon easy settlement but, no, he wanted to show the fake news how tough a guy he is. he's not. and the whole disney thing is really very unfortunate. now thousands and thousands of jobs are being stopped and a lot of people are very upset about it. > >> rachel: desantis says he is cake the name-calling as much as media despised trump has. >> i don't mind being called different things. i have been called everything but a child of god as it is. that doesn't faze me. can you call me whatever you want. just make sure you call me a winner because that's what we have done in the state of

florida and that's exactly what we would do nationally. not only in the election, but actually bringing all these great policies to bear. there will be slings and arrows. but i'm a big boy. can i take it. >> rachel: we will see how thick desantis' skin is in august. fox has the first debate and will remember how lethal trump was on the debate stage back in 2016 in the primary. >> this is a tough business to run for president. >> i know you are a tough guy, jeb. i know. [laughter] >> we need to have a leader -- >> -- you are real tough. >> you will never be president insulting your way to the president. >> i'm at 42 and you are 3. i never attacked him on his look and believe me there is plenty of subject matter there i can tell you. >> what is clear biden is more vulnerable than ever. our fox poll shows 64% of voters say biden is a weak leader. and 60% of voters say he is not mentally sound enough to do his job as president. even cnn thinks things look bad for joe.

>> horrible news. horrible for joe biden in our new cnn poll while the president leads his democratic competitors by a huge margin, two thirds of all of the american people surveyed, 66% of the public say that a biden victory would either be a setback or a disaster for the united states. >> rachel: how can a guy like that beat anybody in 2024? let's bring in karl rove a former white house deputy chief of staff and fox news cl contributor. karl, great to have you on this evening. how do you rate that rollout byron desantis yesterday? >> well, you know, two things. won, first of all, if you were watching it on twitter and you were on your laptop or your desktop, this is what you saw. a little black box and the voices in the background talking. not exactly the most, you know, the best way to meet a candidate. they were looking for novelty, they tried it. i think it would have been much

better had he started off by a more traditional approach and then gone on and been interviewed on twitter and gone on and been interviewed by mark levin on radio and trey gowdy on fox. we would have seen if he would have given a speech we would have seen him surrounded by people. we would felt the energy. we would have felt a connection with him. i don't know why they did this. now, the other thing is. >> rachel: i was going to say maybe not. people say that's his downside, right? that he is just not that personable. maybe he chose this way of doing this, this socially distanced rollout because he knows he doesn't have that charm and personality. >> well, you know what? he went to iowa and look at him flipping pork burgers there at the picnic. he went to dallas and houston for the lincoln day dinners gave unbelievablably good talks with huge crowds. he went to new hampshire and did a great evening there. spent -- didn't eat the meal. he went to from table to table

said hello gave a speech. interrupted by protesters. laughed it off. the crowd loved it. he is fully capable of giving a really good speech. here's my biggest issue. my biggest issue is that he turned over the control of his message to two guys on twitter, elon musk and david sacks and then gave it over to mark levin and then gave it over to trey gowdy. the gowdy interview was terrific. but there is elon musk asking him about what do you think about the federal reserve issuing its own crypto coin? i mean, you know, is that the central issue facing the desantis campaign? so, you want to -- you want to give a speech. you want to roll out your message so you control the initial contact that you have with the american voters and they get a sense of what it is that you have as values in your heart and what it is that you want to achieve forever the country, not what some guy who is on twitter trying to get rescue his $44 billion investment. what he does. and what he wants to talk about. so,. >> rachel: that's such a great question, karl.

he is a smart guy. why did he choose to do it this way? is this a lack of leadership? a bad decision? how does that decision to roll out the way he did with all the mistakes that you just laid out and all the missed opportunities, what does that say about ron desantis as a leader? >> well, let's be careful about reading too much into it. what does it say about donald trump that the first major it tv appearance he gets is a town hall on cnn which it turned out into a shouting match between he. >> rachel: most people thought that was a win, karl. most people thought he won that debate -- i mean town hall. >> he might have won it on points what did he do that night that convinced anybody who wasn't already in love with him and voted for him last time and vote for him this time. he lost by 7 million votes last time around. he has to convince people he has a second act in him and i don't think that town hall. may have helped him inside the republican party and republican primary. if your ultimate goal is to win back the white house. you have got to get people who voted against you last time to vote for you this time around and that didn't achieve it for him.

it just reinforced all the election was stolen. and you are the lying media and i'm a nasty person and you are a nasty person. maybe it worked for the republican primary. that shouldn't be our goal. our goal ought to be to ultimately win the general election. >> rachel: karl, here is my question for you. i think they both probably would do a great job as president. anybody would be better than joe biden. we talked about his poll numbers and a lot of democrats are disappointed as well. the biggest challenge that ron desantis faces is that a lot of people look at what has happened to donald trump, the doj going after him. we know from the durham report everything we thought they did was true. the way the fbi and the doj hid the information about the hunter biden laptop which, as we know, absolutely changed that election. so, i think for a lot of people, it's about justice. and maybe they feel -- i'm definitely hearing that they like both sides but justice means that donald trump should get that second term that he was denied by the interference of

obama, hillary, the deep state, the media in the last election. a lot of people are saying that's the hurdle that ron desantis has to face in addition to the fact that some people feel like he is not very grateful for the fact that donald trump put him there in the governorship. he wouldn't have won had donald trump not come in and helped him out in the 11th hour. >> well, that's what donald trump says. we don't know that here's the deal. you are right about the attitude that you describe but that's the attitude of republicans who like donald trump and like ron desantis and feel that the former president ought to be given a second shot because he was mistreated in 2020. but that's not the electorate. the electorate is that's the base of the electorate. whoever is going to win the nomination has got to be prepared to win the general election, that means winning people who voted for joe biden last time around and that argument is going to go flat with them. that just isn't going to sell. >> rachel: well, it's an interesting debate. hopefully this primary will sort this out.

karl, you are the architect. it's always good to get your been though i disagree. we will see what happens. >> you bet. thank you. thanks for having me on. >> rachel: you got it. thanks, karl. coming up, what has happened to corporate america? meet the new face of outdoor marketing. >> hi, it's me patty gotten i can't a real life homosexual i'm here with the north face. we're here to invite you to come out and nature with us there it is. that feeling you get... when you can du more with less asthma. it starts with dupixent. dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. and can help improve lung function for better breathing in as little as two weeks. dupixent helps prevent asthma attacks... and can even reduce or eliminate oral steroids. can you picture it?

>> rachel: target self-destructed after partnering with satanist. they took $9 billion in market cap this year alone.

one would think that brand but popular jacket brand north faces hold my fleece. >> hi, it's me patty gottennia, a real life homosexual and today i'm here with the north face. we are here to invite you to come out in nature with us. >> rachel: is north face prepared to go full target because the backlash is real. americans are genuinely upset because a brand that they have come to know and trust has wasted so much time and effort on diversity classes that they lost sight of their mostly mom customer base. got me thinking about chip and joanna gaines. they're the beloved wonderful kepple behind the smash hit tv show fixer-upper. they have a popular and profitable home and kitchen line at target. >> everybody, chip and joanna gaines here in waco, texas in magnolia. >> so excited to announce our

partnership with target heather and hands magnolia. >> wasn't enough that target was just a great company. i mean, it had to be deeper than that. >> and by teaming up with target we will be able to give back in a bigger way than ever before. >> rachel: no one doubts that chip and joanne are good people, kind, moral and aligned with american values but if i had a line at a company and my name was on it and that brand partnered with a trans satanist that makes tuck i-em bikinis for kids i would be compelled to speak up. maybe they are raising questions internally. that's possible. why aren't they doing so publicly? recently they went to the white house's state dinner with south korea. joanna herself is of korean dissent and she was rightly proud of the american korean alliance. here's a question worth asking. would chip and joanna go a state dinner hosted by the trump administration? hmmm. the cultural enforcers in the

media and in the bedrooms would demand that fixer-upper be removed from the air and no one else hear from them ever again. remember when the ceo of goya met trump at the white house and the left freaked out. so what's worst in the eyes of the left and the media? partnering with a satanist or a rose garden speech with hispanics for trump? the left requires companies and celebrities to george floyd or roe v. wade being overturned things that have nothing to do with their business. but no other company or -- but no other companies or entrepreneurs want to stand up to satan? my guess is target moms do not stand with satan or the sexualization of children. so when are companies and entrepreneurs going to wisen up and start representing their customers instead of the fringe minority? let's ask the expert, kevin o'leary, better known as mr. wonderful from shark tank joins me now let's put branding

aside a little bit. why wouldn't chip and joanne just say something because in the end, isn't the silence sort of like a little bit of tacit complicity in it? >> they can't win. by getting involved in this fight, they can't win. there are certain things about corporate america that have become a reality in the last 36 months. and it's really hitting boards of public companies. it started with budweiser, obviously. and then it's gone on and on. north face and now target. when you are selling consumer goods and services, you cannot be partisan in any way, whether it be politics. let me give you an example. do you ever hear a ceo that represents a company ever talking about abortion? never. because that is an issue that will never be resolved. it's a personal issue. it's a family issues. it's a religious issue.

it's partisan forever. you don't touch it. same thing with politics. same thing with gender identity. everybody has a personal opinion about it. when you actually get involved in a fight like that, you lose 50% of your constituencies target want to sell to everybody, obviously. and they when budd happened i can't believe that boards didn't wake up to that. i'm going to teach that case in college. that's just -- like new coke, old coke. budweiser was the american beer. it took decades to build that brand. and they blew it up in 30 hours. >>en i don't, search, to me it seems like it only goes one way. i mean, you see brands like cover girl partnering with dizzy phillips who is so openly pro-abortion in a really aggressive way. you would never see them partnering with a pro-life celebrity of the same caliber as her. it just doesn't happen. i think it cuts different ways. really quick, what would happen

if chip and joanne said listen, we don't want to weigh in on politics but we don't want our products being sold next to this? >> their sales would go down 30%. that's what would happen. they would eventually not have the margins to stay on the shelf. they would get kingdom out. you stay out of it. you started with the segment with the right words i tell all my ceo dollars. read the room. what's your message? what are you selling? who wants to buy the product? do not get involved in partisan issues. you cannot win. that is a lesson for corporate america. giant polling system except everybody sees the results before you do. that's the problem. and when something goes viral, it can be a good thing but mostly it's negative and disseminated these brands very quickly. boards of directors probably half of them probably don't have a twitter account. don't know anything about facebook. don't used linkedin. don't know anything about facebook. they should it's killing market caps when they misread it.

>> rachel: i think some things are more important than money, kevin but what do i know? i'm not a business person. now, changing topics. elon musk has been making headlines for months. everything from taking over twitter to launching desantis' presidential campaign. but there's one thing i know you disagree with him on. and that is work from home. so what did you think when you heard elon musk say this? >> look, i'm a big believer that people are more productive when they are in person. it's like really you are going to work from home and you are going to make everyone else who made your car work in a factory? you are going to make the people who make your food that gets delivered that they can't work from home? the people that come fix your house? they can't work from home but you can? does that seem morally right? >> rachel: all right. what do you think about that? >> >> nothing to do with morality at all. think of this. in his' cans, tesla and spacex where he has a lot of his market cap tied up and now twitter is a

personal investment of his. they are heavy engineering based. so i see the merit of asking engineers to solve problems together in a room. that may work. and that may be something he mandates. but there's 10 other sectors in the s&p and what we have learned in those other sectors because i invest in all of them is that we're unable to get 40% of our staff back. they are never coming back to the offers. for a whole host of reasons. including in cities like san francisco, personal safety. and so at the end of the day, accounting, compliance, logistic departments that used to sit in cubicles in the basement. they have moved hundreds of miles away. they get their job done on project basis. so now the world has changed. elon can do whatever he wants with his companies will not get the best and brightest. san francisco is a war zone. you cannot be safe there at night. it's the most mismanaged city in the most mismanaged state and it's not even politics anymore. it's personal safety. everybody is watching that city

decent great. what do you think attract employees to move there in their 20's so they can get shot at night when they leave the office? that makes no sense. they are not going to go there. they have a very hard time. that's not a company that requires everybody working in an offers. twitter was building its business long before the pandemic and a lot of the employees were not working in the office. >> rachel: kevin, maybe the solution is to move his headquarters to somewhere safer. here is my thought on work from home. i agree with you there are some jobs people can do from home. there are some that need to be in the office so that you have that team environment. my concern is that young people, unmarried, single young people are not meeting other people and falling in love. here's my rule. you can't work from home until you find your love life and get that under control. and then you can go work from home, especially if you are a mom. >> you know what i tell people that say that? love will find a way. i love lamorey. >> i love lamore. you have got to get out of your

house to find it. thanks, kevin. >> up next, bombshell new revelations in the hunter biden investigation. an irs whistleblower exposes the doj bias. that's next. ♪ >> there was multiple steps that were slow-walked at the direction of the department of justice. ♪ they need their lawn back fast and you need scotts turf builder rapid grass. it grows grass 2 times faster than just seed alone.

>> rachel: irs whistleblower who says the department of justice has let politics get in the way of charging hunter biden is finally speaking out publicly. he says biden's doj has done everything to keep hunter from getting handcuffed. >> when i took control of this particular investigation, i immediately saw, you know, was way outside the norm of what i have experienced in the past. there was multiple steps slow walked at the corr department of

justice. each time it always benefited the subject be. >> why do you want to navigate these waters? >> i don't want to do any of this. i took an oath of office and when i saw egregiousness of some of these things, it no longer became a choice for me. it's not something that i want to do. it's something it that i feel i have to do. >> none of this should surprise any of us. biden's justice department and fbi have been running cover for him since day one. and we have multiple whistleblowers who agree. one whistleblower alleges that the fbi has been sitting on evidence proving joe biden was directly involved in a bribery scheme. and they have had it since the summer of 2020 just before the 2020 election. so that's at least two huge things. the laptop and the bribes. that the fbi has purposefully concealed from voters who deserve to know everything before casting a ballot. but now the cat's out of the bag and the fbi still won't release that evidence. >> our specific request, first

of all, said we want any form 1023 dated in august 2020, with the word biden on it. and you know what they came bang and said, sean? they said well, that would just be too many documents the way that i understood the fbi, there are multiple f 1023s. biden and the word $5 million. >> rachel: they are playing stupid games with the american people. but oversight chairman james comer is set to have a one-on-one meeting with the fbi director chris wray next week. if he doesn't release this incriminating evidence to the public. comer is ready it hold wray in contempt. what's wray going to do? release it and prove joe biden not only knew about hunter's dirty business deals but also that he was directly involved? or is wray going to be the fall man that keeps the biden crime family cover-uurley is a george

washington law school professor and a fox news contributor and he joins us now. professor, welcome. so what do you predict. >> thank you, rachel. >> rachel: of course. what do you predict christopher wray will do? >> well, by guess is he is going to resist. these forms are raw information at the fbi usually doesn't release. this is not your usual case. what is being alleged here is a form of corruption. not just by the president but a corruption of the fbi. that this committee is looking into whether the government helped shield president biden and his families. his family members. so, that's something that falls within the oversight function of congress. in fact, congress is one of the few places where you can get those answers if the fbi itself is being implicated. there is a lot of ways you can accommodate congress and you can release some of this information

into a classified setting. you could do so with heavy redactions. but so far the fbi appears to have been completely oppositional and arguably obstructive to their efforts. >> rachel: so why do you think is he obstructing these efforts why doesn't he want to because is he implicated in the cover-up since 2020? >> well, you know, rachel, the problem with the fbi is that, you know, everybody likes -- you don't want to be a church when somebody says redemptive center. that's what happened most recently with the durham report. fbi said oh well we reformed ourselves after those problems as well. there's no real evidence of that institutional change. to the cob temporary. there have been complaints in the last few years of the same type of political bias. and so i'm not too sure you're going to see a significant change here.

wray knows that the attorney general has his back. and even though merrick garland really broke from past history and started to prosecute contempt of congress charges. it's expected that he will not do so now that the officials are members of his own administration. >> rachel: it's not really a threat. >> yeah. we just had the u.s. attorney in massachusetts who was found by the inspector general in their view, at least, to have lied to their investigators and carried out a variety of violations. referred her for prosecution and garland's justice department again refused. >> rachel: yeah. i mean, that's the problem. no one is ever held accountable. and when that happens. it's not just that it's an injustice. it ceases to be a deterrent, right? you have to be able to put the fear of god in people so that they don't do these kinds of crimes and these kinds of cover-ups again. isn't that the problem?

no one is ever held accountable whether it's lois lerner at the -- from the obama administration with the irs or even here, you know, eric holder was held in contempt. nothing happened to him. what are we to do does citizens. who do we go to to have some accountability? these are serious issues. >> they are, rachel. and if i was sitting with wray. i would say, look. there are countervailing interest here. we know you have are to protect sources. we he know this can be raw. but justice has to be seen to be done by the public. all the polls indicate that the public views the fbi now as politically compromised. that has to change. and it's not going to change by keeping this same obstructive position when it comes to congress. we need greater transparency. >> rachel: i have never heard more calls, jonathan, for the fbi to be defunded from conservatives and now. i think it really speaks to a

lack of trust and all institutions but especially the fbi and the doj. jonathan, thanks for joining us. >> thank you, rachel. >> rachel: coming up, the nutty professor who tried to decapitate a "new york post" reporter is finally brought to justice. ♪

# # this is propaganda. 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 violent. you are triggering my students. >> i'm sorry about that. >> no, you're not. because you can't even have a

[bleep]. >> rachel: did you catch that? she says that the plight polite pro-life students and pamphlets are expressions of violence. what is more violent than abortion. things escalated even more when a "new york post" reporter showed up to her door to interview her. but she wasn't interested in answering questions. instead, she pulled out a machete and stuck the blade to the reporter's neck. and as if that wasn't crazy enough, she then chased him down the street with it this was all caught on camera and as a result she was fired from the college. she didn't taking an ounce of responsibility. now, she didn't respond to fox's request for commented. but she did tell art news that the school had, quote: capitulated to racist, white nationalists, and misogynists.

so she is the victim. what does the reporter who was attacked by rodriguez have to say about this? the "new york post" reporter reuben finton joins me now. reuben, great to have you. >> great to be here. >> rachel: thank you. you knew she was unhinged from the way she acted at that tabling for the pro-life group but i'm sure there's no way you expected she was going to come out of that door with a machete. >> i don't think anybody would have ever have expected something like that. rachel. i have encountered a lot of weird things. it's been a fairly long career at this point. i have done some 10,000 door knocks it must be and i have never quite encountered. i have gotten some rude responses a lot of go aways and quite a people who just weren't home. this was a first. you know, finally something memorable for a change. this will go down in the history books as a story i will be telling for the rest of my life. >> rachel: you looked fairly calm. i'm really surprised.

are you a calm person or were you just in shock? >> you know, i may be desensitized for doing this for too long. >> rachel: or just from living in new york. >> exactly. a lot of people have been asking me. this i have to say it's a combination of the whole thing having been so quick over and done with all three seconds. i would like to emphasize that really and truly, i didn't believe in my heart, in my gut, call it my instinct. i didn't believe that she was going to hurt me. i just knew it somehow. something in her tone, something in just my gut somehow. >> rachel: all right. >> reuven, i feel really bad for the students who were tabling it. felt to me like they were being bullied. they were peacefully doing their thing have. you spoken to them? have they said they are going to continue advocating for the unborn? really quick. i don't have a lot of time. >> yeah. i have not but i do know we had

a reporter at the college yesterday talking to students and they were going on about how they basically said, you know, this place is nutty. this is, you know, the school is full of people like this. essentially. i haven't spoken to the students. i feel really bad for them. >> rachel: yeah. >> they mean well. you can hear they are trying to be conciliatory to her. trying to calm her down essentially. i think one of them apologized. >> rachel: yeah. i saw that. >> she went ahead and did her activism. it's painful to watch. >> rachel: it is. it's painful to see what is happening to our city and to the country. thank you, reuven. >> indeed. thank you. >> rachel: seattle isn't what it used to be. what was known for its coffee shop and grunge music scene is now known for crime. tent cities and drugged up vagrants. this homeless man you see is rolling down in a meth and fentanyl stupor. this is happening all over the city. and there's no help in sight. fentanyl overdose deaths are up 324% from 2020 to 2022.
