tv   Jesse Watters Primetime  FOX News  July 26, 2024 5:00pm-6:00pm PDT

5:00 pm
that helpful? hurtful. if you're if you're, you know, trying to unseat an incumbent. i think he has such a compelling and strong story. if people just listen to what he did, what his family went through, especially in a place like virginia, which has such a strong tradition of military service and belief, i think that's the right play here, because his story is absolutely amazing. i encourage everybody to watch it in its totality and you'll be moved by it. rob and jason, the first installment of our 2020 ad wars. thanks so much that is it for us tonight. make sure to follow me on social media. we had a special visitor in the studio tonight, and you want to see who it is? thank you for watching. remember, it's america now and forever. jesse watters, he takes it from here. hello? it's 8 p.m. on the east
5:01 pm
coast, 7 p.m. in god's country. and welcome to a special edition of jesse watters primetime. i'm pete hegseth in for jesse on a friday night. and we start with the fox news alert. in moments, donald trump will be taking the stage in west palm beach, florida. we're monitoring it right here in the studio. we will bring it to you as soon as he begins his remarks, but expect to hear some fresh lines of attack tonight from the former president. you see, earlier this week, if you remember, he vowed to not be nice after the so-called democrat party successfully staged a coup to ouster their president, joe biden, from the presidential ticket and replace him of course, with kamala harris, the clintons, pelosi, schumer, even biden throwing their weight behind kamala. but the messiah has arrived. barack obama waited until this morning to make the call. kamala. hi. hey,
5:02 pm
there. how are high? you're both together. oh, it's good to hear you both. i can't have this phone call without saying to my girl, kamala, i am proud of you. this is going to be historic. we called to say michelle. and i couldn't be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the oval office. oh my goodness. michelle. barack, this means so much to me. i am looking forward to doing this with the two of you. doug and i both, and getting out there being on the road. but most of all, i just want to tell you the words you have spoken and the friendship that you have given over all these years mean more than i can express. so thank you both. it means so much and we're going to have some fun with this too, aren't we? oh so bad. and they thought it was good. and if that didn't sound genuine to you, it's probably because it definitely wasn't a source close to the
5:03 pm
biden family told the new york post that obama's had been very upset because barack knows she can't win. obama knows she's just incompetent and was shocked when biden endorsed he. and now obama's furious that things aren't going his way. but the machine just happened to move a little bit too fast, even for barack, the media is already in their camelot honeymoon phase. and it's not just obama world that's worried. anxiety is rippling through clinton world, and they had to send out the raging cajun to be the skunk in their garden party. i have to be the skunk at the garden party this is too triumphalist. okay, this is everybody's giddy. i look at the coverage and it's great. and we're just let me if i had to write a play about what i think is going to be like, it would be entitled the ice pick cometh. okay, get ready. they're coming. all right. and it's good. everybody should
5:04 pm
feel good and liberated and everything else. but if we don't win the election, we haven't done anything. this kind of giddy elation is not going to be very helpful much longer, because that's not what we're going to be faced with. well, don't believe carville. well then believe the numbers. cnn's chief numbers guy says the harris mentum is nothing but a mirage. here's the thing to keep in mind. i think there's all this talk of all this right. and
5:05 pm
that's what she she was supposed to be doing. is there anyone that kamala harris could appoint as her vice president that you would find reassuring? would make you consider voting for her? oh no, oh no no, no. never considered voting for he. no, no, i would do rfk jr way before her. yeah. when do you think america will have a
5:06 pm
female president? when there's a competent one? just i don't get a good feel for her. i think she's an idiot. right, mary? why do you think that she's not that bright? because she hasn't done anything in the time that she's had. she's not real smart. she's not real smart. when do you think america will have its first female president? when there's a competent one? it's not her. democrats are hoping to pump that. obama 2008 excitement back into their base. but unlike 2008, when democrats were energized by the chants of yes, we can, the democrat voter base in 2024 feels powerless. and why wouldn't they? after they were sidelined by their party, kingmakers? how do you feel about the process in which president biden decided not to run for reelection? well, it would have been nice if he made this decision a year ago, so we could have had a primary and, you know, maybe decided who we want to replace him rather than
5:07 pm
just all flocking to kamala harris. i think by trying to clear the field and ensure that it was going to be biden and make sure that there wasn't any sort of not allowing us to have an actual democratic primary process. you know, i'm not saying i think kamala harris is going to lose, but i do think that we would have been benefited significantly if he had figured out what was like, figured this out far sooner. so that could have actually been more time to like, have an internal debate, have internal democracy within the party. i don't like the process either. this whole we started the conversation with, like, there are people behind closed doors and curtains making the decisions for us, and it's supposed to be a process. we're supposed to be part of it. so that part i don't like on principle, it would have been nice if we had a primary that that that would help the party of democracy, the party that's been calling you a threat to democracy. just disenfranchized 14 million voters and offered no explanation for it. maybe because the truth is ugly. this was never about joe biden.
5:08 pm
sure, his polls were bad, but so are kamala's. for democrats, this has always been about completing their progressive takeover of the country. kamala harris wasn't just the most liberal senator, even though they're lying about it now. if she's elected, she will be the most radical president ever. i am prepared to get rid of the filibuster to pass a green new deal. there's no question i'm in favor of banning fracking. so would you ban offshore drilling? yes. and i've again worked on that. we need to have medicare for all. the status quo thinking has been to believe that by putting more police on the street, you're going to have more safety, and that's just wrong. we've got to critically reexamine ice and its role, and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing, and we need to probably think about starting from scratch. yeah, abolish it all. the only thing stopping that from being our commander in chief is you. in november, charlie hurt and monica crowley join me now.
5:09 pm
charlie, great to have you. monica. thanks for being here. we're monitoring president trump. he'll be stepping on stage any moment. and when we do, we'll have to break in on this conversation. but monica, first, here we are. the obamas have endorsed kamala. does it ring true to you? and will it help? well, they're very late to the party and very reluctan. so according to the reporting that we've seen so far, charlie and pete, what we have know is that barack obama had an alternative plan up ready to go. he wanted joe biden removed. he saw that he could not win. the new york post was reporting that they actually moved up the debate because they were trying to frame joe biden. they knew that he would implode, so they wanted enough time and runway to replace him with someone else. obama had a different plan in mind, and it was not kamla harris. but kamala harris proved to be very widely along with her handlers. she was able to accelerate the process to lock up the support and the money so that her nomination was a fait accompli.
5:10 pm
she got joe biden on board to endorse her. she got the clintons on board. and remembe, mrs. clinton lost to barack obama in 2008. so she got her little bit of revenge as well. so kamala got a fait accompli of a nomination. she got the obamas endorsement now at this late date. so the word of warning to everybody here is do not underestimate kamala and her handlers because they boxed out oto obama. they outmaneuvered him, really, for probably the first time in his political career, he is not very happy about it. they will hit the campaign trail for kamala, but he will not be an enthusiastic supporter. trust me charlie, we're seeing donald trump is on stage hugging ben carson right now. we're going to get to that in a moment real quick. your thoughts? no i think it's absolutely extraordinary what we're seeing right now. and if you know the comeuppance that that barack obama has had to suffer at the hands of joe biden, sort of one last indignity from the guy
5:11 pm
that he picked and dragged out of the dustbin of history and brought back to political life in washington. it really, really is extraordinary. and of course, the real problem for kamala going forward is the fact that, you know, she is the most radical person ever to front a ticket in history, and she's not really been tested because she's never been at the top of a ticket. and so, you know, at this point, when you're supposed to be running to the center, all of these horrible things from her past are coming out, and she's going to have to defend all of them, and it's going to be fresh in everybody's minds when they go to the polls, for sure. i mean, it's all coming out. it'll it'll be even more in the coming days and weeks. monica, here we are. i can't help but reflect. we're two weeks since an assassination attempt. we're still debating, thanks to the fbi director, about whether it's a bullet or not. but here's donald trump on stage about to speak. this man has been going ever since. you know, really, from the moment he came down that escalator in june of 2015, he has been
5:12 pm
targeted by the deep state, the permanent administrative state, the imperial media, you know, the entire ruling class views him as an existential threat. so they have thrown the kitchen sink at this man. now for nine years. they cannot believe that the man is not just still standing, but thriving, leading in all the polls and likely to be the next president. they've literally tried everything to neutralize him as a political force and by extension, to neutralize all of us. the america first movement, normal americans who love their country, they have failed at all of it. and the man that you see on that stage is still standing with superhuman energy and strength. this is real leadership. this is courage, strength and leadership. charlie, we thought joe biden was the guy that that donald trump would most want to run against. but the more we learn about are reminded about kamala harris, she might be the one we want. yeah. and it's going to be. and it's going to get serious very soon. very much s.

5:13 pm

5:17 pm
ago, we officially defeated the worst president in the history of the united states, crooked joe biden. you know, i thought a lot about it. we defeated him. he was badly beaten. and, you know, everybody was going to him, said, you can't beat him. you're not going to beat this guy. you can't beat him. get out, get out. we want you out. there was nothing nice about what they were doing, and they were saying, we want you out of the race. you're going to lose. we want to put somebody else in. how about that? it's like a prizefighter. he's losing badly, ready to be knocked out. and they say, well, wait, let's stop the fight. let's put somebody else in. it doesn't work that way, and it's not supposed to work that way. and this really was a coup by the democrats. this was a coup. nothing else. he got 14 million votes. i hate to stick up for biden, but, you know, he didn't want to do what he did. he said, i'll never go out. i'll never, ever go out. two
5:18 pm
days later, i'm proud to go out because the fascists went after him. they threatened him with the 25th amendment. they said, we can do it the nice way or we can do it the hard way. joe, that's what happened. i know, i know as many people on that side as i know on our side. so to speak. but that's what happened. they said, we can do it the hard way. we can do it the easy way. 25th amendment. if you don't go and he said, oh, i'll go. and now they're trying to make him into a brave hero. he's so brave. last night he made or the other night he made a speech behind the beautiful, resolute desk in the oval office. and look, i'm not looking to knock. i want to give people credit or not credit. it was horrible. and then you turn on to, like, cnn and msdnc the worst. they're just horrible. and they're saying one of the finest speeches we've ever seen. i mean, churchillian somebody said churchill, winston
5:19 pm
churchill. no, winston had it on him a little bit. it was so bad. and they pretended it was good. and they're doing the same thing with her. she was a bum three weeks ago. she was a bum, a failed vice president and a failed administration with millions of people crossing. and she was the border czar. now they're trying to say she never was the border czar. she had nothing to do with the border. she was the border czar. they're trying to take it. they're deleting it all over the place. they want to take it because we have the worst border in history. and three and a half years ago, we had the best border that we've ever had. in fact, my chart that i looked over to the righ, that chart, you know, the famous chart that showed we had the best numbers in history, at least recorded history on the border that chart probably saved my life. can you believe it? because i looked over. if i didn't look over, i got a
5:20 pm
problem. wasn't too good. anyway. did you see the fbi today? apologize? i said, well, it might have been a bullet, but it might have been glass. oh, really? where did the glass come from? or it might have been shrapnel. where did the shrapnel come from? no. they then said it was a bullet. they just try and do it. it just never ends with these people. they raid mar a lago. they do things so bad, so bad. our country is so sick. but they apologize. we accept their apology. so now we have a new candidate to defeat the most incompetent, unpopular and far left vice president in american history. that's what she is, the most incompetent. but certainly the most far left together. four months from now, we are going to defeat kamala harris, who a short time ago strongly fought to defund the police and the right.
5:21 pm
other religions. and we will bring our country back together. one nation under god. but if radical liberal kamala harris gets in. and by the way, there are numerous ways of saying her name, they were explaining to me, you can say kamala, you can say kamala, i said, don't worry about it. it doesn't matter what i say. i couldn't care less if i mispronounce it or not. i
5:22 pm
couldn't care less. some people think i mispronounce it on purpose, but actually i've heard it said about seven different ways. there are a lot of ways. there are a lot of ways. but if radical liberal kamala harris gets in, you will have the exact opposite effect. harris will appoint hundreds of extreme far left judges to forcibly impose crazy san francisco liberal values on americans nationwide. now you've seen what's happened to san francisco. it was the best city, maybe in our entire country. 15 years ago, and now it's barely livable. that's what she and she's the one that started. she was an original defender. she was a defender of the police. she said, let's defund the police. she was the first one to start it. but now, of course, she's so she's tough. she did not. they always one thing about a politician, i guess, including me. you always go back to your original thought. now, my original thoughts were very good. you're like my original thought. i'm
5:23 pm
the only one out there that probably got worse. it's true. my original thoughts. you always go back to him. and she went back to him. and she will go back. if she ever got in, she will go back to those all of those horrible original thoughts that she had. she'll appoint hardcore marxists to the supreme court to shred our constitution and all of our religious liberty. she will do that. absolutely. she will try as hard as she can to add as many justices as possible to the us supreme court. we don't want that to happen, do we? we want we like our nine justices the way they are. we don't want to have 17. i've heard numbers 2121 sounds like a great number. what about 23? they want to have an odd number. that's the only thing we agree on. in other words, she wants to pack the court, which is their number one agenda. and we can't let that happen. we're
5:24 pm
not going to let that happen. we're not going to have anybody added. we're going to do it the way we've done it for many, many years. that's really a stopper. it's a stopper. the supreme court and by the way, you can take a look. there have been many things that have happened over the last few years where there's been great uniformity on things that aren't necessarily conservative, but they did the right thing. that's what's supposed to be happening, and that's what's happened. they've done the right thing, but they can't pack the court. the hordes of illegal aliens storming across our borders will exceed 40 or 50 million by the time they're finished. that's what they want. they want millions. you know the number. i believe the real number already, or very close, is 20 million people have come across our border. think of it over a very short period of time, with four more years of harris, who was worse than joe biden in a true sense and far more liberal, america will be
5:25 pm
decimated by migrant crime, demolished by fascism, ravaged by rampant inflation and impoverished by the complete obliteration of american energy. they don't want any fossil fuel, no matter what. in other words, good luck. i hope you enjoy walking to work. you know what makes electricity right? fossil fuel. they don't understand that. you know it comes. from someplace, right? it comes from fossil fuel. i'm here tonight because we must never let that happen. our task is to defeat socialism, to defeat marxism, communism, to defeat the cartels and the criminals and the human traffickers trafficking women. and that means defeating kamala harris in a landslide. we want a landslide. this november. december. we want something too big to rig, too big to rig. too
5:26 pm
big to break. too big to rig, too big to rig. too big to rig. we cannot let this. i have to say once. great country, but will soon be a great country again. but right now we don't feel like this is a great country. we're a laughing stock all over the world, but we can't let our country fail. as everyone here understands, the radical left ideology kamala supports is really militantly hostile toward americans of faith. and you saw that during the pandemic, where people couldn't get together even when they wanted to get together with big spaces outside, they were ravaged. as a senator, she viciously attacked highly qualified judicial nominees simply because they were members of the knights of columbus, suggesting that their catholic faith disqualified them from serving on the
5:27 pm
federal bench. and i'll tell you something i don't know. we have a lot of catholics in here. probably not too many. how many catholics do we have? whoa, that's a lot. i don't know how a catholic can vote for the democrats because they're after the catholics almost as much as they're after me. i would say i top you. i'm proud to admit, but they're really after the catholics. and, you know, i met today with bibi netanyahu, and i will tell you. i asked him a question and he said he's getting asked that question a lot. i said, how can a jewish person or a person that loves israel vote? think of this vote for this, this, these parties? i mean, how can they vote democrat? how can they vote for these horrible, these horrible people that want to destroy? but i asked him, how did they vote for democrat? everything is negative.
5:28 pm
everything they want to stay in the way. they don't want to have victory. they want to stop you from having victory. they want to and they want to put you in jail. they want to persecute you. how does a jewish person vote for a democrat? and traditionally they have no. traditionally they have. and we came to the conclusion it's mostly habit because they have for 50 years. i mean, they have that's what they've done. but how does a jewish person vote for a democrat? how does a catholic person vote for a democrat with what they're doing to catholics? i just don't get it. somebody doesn't like catholics in that administration, and i don't even know who it is. i don't think it's biden because i don't think he has any idea what the hell he's doing. i'm i don't think he has any ideas on any subject. kamala harris supports california's outrageous new law, trampling on parental rights and allowing minors to change their gender without parental notification or consent. can you imagine she's in favor of that, by the
Check
5:29 pm
way, or she was. she's probably losing, you know, they're losing as much as they can, but remember, a politician always goes back to where they started. harris wants to forcibly compel doctors and nurses against their will, to give chemical castration drugs to young children. you know that, right? she totally supports that. and she supports the biden-harris title nine policy of forcing every public school in america to let men into women's and girls locker rooms. can you imagine? it's like, what are we doing? what? you know, the whole world is laughing at us. you do know that, right? we've gone wacko. as president, i will protect the safety and well-being of america's children. i will defend the values of the american family. and above all, i will restore common sense to washington, dc, because republicans and i said this for
Check
5:30 pm
the last year, and i think it's so true. we're conservative and all of that stuff. but you know what? we're the party of common sense. common sense. we want borders. we want security. we want safety. we want good education. we'd like low interest rates. we'd like to be able to buy a house. we want safety, though. we want safety. we want strength. we want wisdom. we don't want to have an electric car where everybody has an electric car that doesn't go far is made in chin, cost too much. and by the way, and i want to thank elon musk for endorsing me by the way, i have to tell you. and i said, you know, elon, remember, i love electric cars. i think your car is great. i love it, but it's not for everybody. and, you know, he never said to me, look, i'm going to endorse you, but, you know, you have to show because i think the
5:31 pm
electric car and i think the tesla, i think it's incredible what they've done. but there are other reasons, like sometimes you want to drive long distances, you don't want to stop. you know, in the midwest, someplace in the midwest, they put up eight charging stations, you know that, right? they spent $9 billion. now you know what a charging station. it's like a gas pump. it's the equivalent of a gas pump for electricity. right. the little thing they spend $9 billion. that would mean that if they did it throughout the country, all the locations designated it would cost $5 trillion. so our country would have to file for bankruptcy. they would have to file bankruptcy protection to build the whole thing is crazy. they want everything to be all electric. but elon's great. he endorsed me. he said, look, you know, you got to say what you say. and i love the car. i think it's great. and some people love them and some
5:32 pm
people want them. but i think if you're going to go long distances, it's a little bit you're challenged, you're challenged. in my first term, i defended and like nobody, christians against hate and bigotry. nobody did what i did. and marxist aggression. no president has ever done what i've done for christians befor. i restored religious liberty for doctors, nurses, teachers, and faith groups like the beautiful little sisters of the poor. we defended them very strongly. i stopped the irs from using the johnson amendment. that's a vicious. that's after lyndon johnson, who had a problem with a certain pastor in houston, didn't like him. so he passed an amendment that was a disaster to interfere with pastors freedom of speech. he wouldn't let pastors even discuss anything having to do with politics. and if they did do that, they'd take away their tax exempt status. so pastors were afraid because they need
5:33 pm
the tax exempt status in order to do what they have to do. and we want to listen to our pastors. we don't want them to be silenced because these pastors are incredible people. that's right. i listened to yo. sometimes i don't listen well enough, though. i will say, you know, franklin graham, you probably heard me say this. i said it a couple of times, but he he's a great guy and always been a supporter of mine. he was never a supporter of people politically. probably he can't be. but he was always a supporter. and openly. but he wrote me a letter a few weeks ago. he said, president trump, i love listening to your stories. you're a great storyteller. that was very nice. he said. but please, if it's possible, it'll be even better. don't use foul language, he told me. please do away with foul language. if you don't use foul language, it will be even better. and i
5:34 pm
thought about it and i tried it for a couple of nights. actually actually, it didn't work out so well. it was. you know, when i get to the punchline, i'm ready to use that one word. just one. franklin one word. and then i use a politically correct word and the whole thing just falls flat. but i try. i'm trying. franklin, i'm telling you now, he's a good man. he's a good man. i issued guidance, making clear that the right to freedom of worship does not end at the door of a public school. we know that i was the first and only president to convene a meeting at the united nations to end religious persecution worldwide. that's the first president to do it. they didn't want to get into it. all of these very religious presidents that you've had, you know, religious in quotes. they said, no, we'll pass on that. but i
5:35 pm
went and i did it, and i was proud to do it. for four years, i stood proudly with our friend and ally, the state of israel. and for them and us. i withdrew from the iran nuclear deal. we left iran weak, broke, and unable to fund terror. and we would have had a deal if the election weren't rigged and stolen. we would have had a deal within the first week after the election. instead, iran is now a very wealthy country. they were a poor country. i said, nobody can buy from them. if you buy from them, you can't do business with the us. and china didn't buy and nobody bought, and they didn't have the money to give to hamas and hezbollah. they had no money. they were broke. a democrat congressman was on a show called deface the nation. do you know, ladies and gentlemen, it's deface the nation. you know, they spend
5:36 pm
millions of dollars with people to try and build up their name. and then trump comes up, makes his speech, look at all the television. trump comes up, makes a speech, and you go to face the nation so much for that pr campaign. but it's true. it is a defacing of the nation. in many cases. the others are no different. abc, nbc, cbs they're all bad. but you know, we have to bring back an honest press. if we don't bring back honesty in our press, this whole thing is not going to work. but i kept my promise, recognized israel's eternal capital, and opened the american embassy in jerusalem. it was a big deal and got it built for $2 billion under budget. took an old building and reconverted it for peanuts using jerusalem stone. a friend of mine said, oh, i love jerusalem stone. he's in new york. big, big, rich guy. every time i walk into his office. do you know what this is? i know
5:37 pm
it's jerusalem stone. you tell me every time. oh, comes from jerusalem. so now i'm building. i want to i not only wanted to get it going, but i wanted to build it because i know i can get it built fast. and they had a building already. they were going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a site in jerusalem. i said, wait a minute, don't we have something? we checked? yeah, we always do because we were there a long time ago. we were there sort of first, always by the post office. like i did in washington. if you get a post office, it's always the first building that they put in. years ago. it's always the best location. so i said, do we have anything yet? and i said, hey, listen to the people. we're going to spend $2 billion on building an embassy. i said, how much do you think we can do it for? we think we can do it for $350,000. so it's real. we're going to take an old building and reconvert it. i said 300. it's the only time i ever said this. i said, you know, honestly, it's too low. it sounds too cheap. i've never done that before. usually i sa, okay, let's make it 300, right? let's make it 250. but i said,
5:38 pm
i think it's too cheap. it sounds terrible. do it for under 500,000. yes, sir. i said any chance we can use jerusalem stone? a friend of mine says it's very expensive. he goes. absolutely, sir. it's all over the place. we're in jerusalem. so we built the whole thing out of jerusalem. stone. can you believe it? and got it done for nothing. and it's beautiful. it's a beautiful embassy. and that was the capital of israel. every president for decades and decades promised that they were going to do that capital of israel, jerusalem. but i even got the building built and we got it built. we had a beautiful opening. i went it was a beautiful opening, and i had a young lady named ivanka there. we had our great first lady there. we had. a lot of my children, a lot of my friends.
5:39 pm
it was a beautiful opening, remember, it was always going to be a disaster if you do that. and every president was going to do it. they got to the office. they go into the white house. all of a sudden they get hit by every side. they never did it. they never could get it off. i understand it, the tremendous pressure not to do it, but i got it done. i got the building built and it was a great thing. we opened it and there were no problems. you know, people said they were going to be big problems. there would be bloodshed all over the middle east. it never happened. it never happened. and we had it recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel. it was a great thing. it was a great day, actually. i also recognized israeli sovereignty over the golan heights. i never even said i was going to do it. i mean, the fact is, i've done more for israel by far than any other president. not even close. and with the historic abraham accords, as you know, we created peace in the middle east. unfortunately, they didn't add any countries to it, but we will. by contrast, kamala harris stabbed israel in the back and it's great hour of
5:40 pm
need. two days ago, she refused to attend the speech in congress of the prime minister of israel. she said, oh, i can't make it. it was just a small group of people, but they couldn't make it because that's her original thought. that's where she comes from. she doesn't like jewish people. she doesn't like israel. that's the way it is. and that's the way it's always going to be. she's not going to change. together with joe biden, she gave billions and billions of dollars to iran and hamas to fund their campaigns of terror. she gave them billions of dollars. they were broke. remember when i left? they were broke. there were stories that hamas is out of business. hezbollah is out of business. they were broke. october 7th would have never happened if i were president. the attack, the attack on ukraine by russia would have never happened. i spoke to president putin often
5:41 pm
about it. it was the apple of his eye. he would have never done it, wouldn't have done it. i said, you'll never do it. he would have never done it. it was only after i left that army started aligning the border with ukraine armies. and i said, oh, he's just negotiating. he'll never do it. but he did it. he did it because we had a weak president. he did it also because our move out of afghanistan was so incompetently done. and i think when he saw the way we did that, he said, wow, this is a paper tiger that we're dealing with. but they weren't a paper tiger with me. we defeated isis in four weeks instead of five years. it was supposed to take five years, four weeks within days of the heinous october seventh attack on israel, kamala harris praised the anti-israel protesters. you saw that, right? she praised them. she betrayed america's ally and sided with the radical fringe of her party, only for
5:42 pm
political gain, maybe for personal gain. i don't know. and this week, many of those kamala harris supporters burned american flags in the heart of our nation's capital and desecrated our monuments. did you see? they sprayed very powerful spray paint into limestone. magnificent. the lions, the bells. you saw it. and you know, when that gets into limestone, you never really get it out. you'll see it in 100 years from now. they desecrate it. and by the way, january 6th. well, what's happening to these people that have done serious damage? have they been have they been arrested? are they in jail now, like the january 6th hostages? and when are they letting them out? you know, we had a great supreme court ruling four weeks ago that really should let most of them out. when are they coming out? they're still there. when are they coming ou? unlike liberal kamala, i will support israel's right to win
5:43 pm
its war on terror. you have to support that. got to win, got to finish it all. and instead of pandering to the jihad sympathizers and america hating radicals, we will deport them. we will deport them very quickly. we have no choice. and they understand that. and they understand that. i have many friends in the middle east, many great friends in the middle east. they understand it. and my next term i will once again appoint rock solid conservative judges who will protect religious liberty and not let marxist lunatics rewrite our constitution. in my first four years, we will totally transform the federal bench appointing nearly remember this i appointed nearly 300 judges to defend the law and the constitution as written. i defended, i defended this law, this constitution. then they say, oh, he is not for democracy. i took a bullet for democracy. he didn't. and i
5:44 pm
might have taken it because of their rhetoric. i might have taken it because of their rhetoric. who knows? i withstood vicious attacks to pick and confirm three great supreme court justices. neil gorsuch, brett kavanaugh and amy coney barrett. they're great people. they're courageous people. we've also achieved what the pro-life movement fought to get for 50 years. they've wanted to get this for 50 years. they've been working so hard, getting abortion out of the federal government. they wanted it out. that means everybody democrats, liberals, republicans, conservatives, they wanted it out, and they wanted to bring it back to the states for 51 years, to be exact. and that's the way everybody, all legal scholars, virtually everybody, they wanted it out of the federal government brought back to the states. and now it's up to the will of the people in each state. it's up to the voters. they're doing it. and
5:45 pm
some some states will be more conservative in what they vote for, and other states will be more liberal. i mean, ohio, we love ohio, but they voted quite a liberal law. kansas, same thing, very liberal. then you'll have a texas and you'll have other places. but it's now being voted on all over. the people will decide. and that's the way they always wanted it. if kamala harris has her way, they will have a federal law for abortion to rip the baby out of the womb in the eighth, ninth month, and even after birth, execute the baby after birth. the baby is born. remember the former governor of virginia? he said, the baby is born. we sit with the mother and we discuss what you want to do with the baby. in other words, if you want, we'll execute the baby after birth. and they have laws and they want to pass laws to that
5:46 pm
effect. these people are radicalized and they're sick. they're sick people. so they're really if you look at it, they're really the radical ones. and like ronald reagan, i strongly believe in exceptions for life of the mother, rape and incest. i think it's very important. don't forget we have to you have to go. you have to go with your heart. but you also have to win elections. very important. you have to win. so go with your heart. do what you want, but you do have to win elections. we have elections that are very important to win. and if you don't, if you don't do certain things, you're not going to win elections and it will be a very pyrrhic victory. it'll be a victory. that's not really a victory at all. but ronald reagan felt that. i felt that many people feel that, and we really did something that nobody thought was possible. i want to thank the six supreme court justices, clarence thoma, samuel alito, john roberts, brett kavanaugh, neil gorsuch
5:47 pm
and amy coney barrett for the wisdom and the courage they showed on this long term and very, very contentious issue and getting it back to the states puts the question where it belongs with a vote of the people, and it's happening all over the country. you're having the vote of the people, and over time, it will all work out. it's working out at a rapid rate already. you know that it's going to many, many states are voting on it now, and many have already voted. and sometimes again, sometimes the vote will be as you like. it sometimes it won't be quite as you like it. but our country can finally come together. this issue has been killing our country for 51 years. as soon as i take the oath of office, i will stop the biden-harris administration's weaponization of law enforcement against americans of faith and against, frankly, their political opponent. all right, donald
5:48 pm
trump continues to speak. he said at the beginning he would talk tonight about a wonderful thing called religion. now he's talking about political persecution and targeting of his political opponents to include catholics and christians across the country, leading into the overturning of roe v wade. we, charlie, hurt and monica crowley, join us again for some quick reaction. then we'll get back to the speech as soon as we can. charlie he's refining his argument on his new opponent, kamala harris. you can tell that tonight. oh, yeah, without a doubt. and of course, he's talking about a lot of her radical positions, including wanting to pack the courts and pack in, you know, dozens of new justices. and but i love the line he kept saying, which is that no matter how much they try to waffle now and try to rebrand her, politicians go back to their original thoughts and you can't get that out of their dna. yeah, he did go back to that a couple of times. monica. her original thoughts are she doesn't. she's a radical defender. she doesn't support israel. she supports the radical protesters that were outside. she did nothing
5:49 pm
about the border. he said kamala was a bum three weeks ago, monica, your thoughts? yeah, he is very successfully reframing his entire approach to this campaign, although it really doesn't require that much because we are talking about the biden-harris administration and she's certainly a key part of this administration. but she is the most radical us senator, apart from bernie sanders. that was her record when she was there. and on top of it, she is the most unpopular vice president in recent american history. so i think what president trump understands is the democrats could run, you know, a mop if it came out of the biden administration and that mop would still have to own all of the radical policies that brought us to this catastrophic moment from a very weak economy with skyrocketing inflation to the no borders policy and the flood of tens of thousands,
5:50 pm
excuse me, tens of millions of illegal immigrants coming into the country to the collapse of law and order, leading to the collapse of our great cities, two hot wars breaking out all across the world. and so it really doesn't matter who the democrats run, kamala harris certainly does own this radical agenda that has brought the country to a real precipice here. and the great thing about president trump is, look, we've got two back to back presidencies to compare and people's memories are very fresh about what he delivered, which is a robust, booming economy and enforced border world's peace, fair trade deals and law and order and charlie, he's certainly laying out a contrast. it's not, you know, radical left wing policies, which kamala harris has always represented versus, you know, conservative policy. it's common sense. and i think that's a line we're going to hear more and more from him. yeah, i think that, you know, looking at kamala harris, she is by far the most radical, nominee for a major party that has ever run for president in
5:51 pm
american history. and you compare that to donald trump, who and you go issue by issue, every single issue, whether it's you're talking about the economy, you're talking about the border, you're talking about overseas issues, every issue. donald trump is a centrist. he is a he is a he's not an ideologue. he is not a partizan. he is pushing commonsense policies. and you compare that to kamala harris's record. and what she stands for. and there's no question where the american people come down. and i might add that right now, what kamala harris has right now is probably the highest, the most popular, most. this is the sweetest, sweet spot of her honeymoon. and it's going to be tough sledding from here on out. well, monica crowley and charlie hurt, thank you both for sticking with us and giving us some analysis before and after we've got more prime time coming up next. before

ability to get up there completely unseen by the law enforcement officers as we are being told we are continuing to look at the fact of how somebody not secure a large perimeter area only 100 yards perfectly adjacent with a line of sight to the president on stage. we know that there was not a proper presidential package supplied by this secret service to control an area that side with a crowd of that side and a retired fbi agent said at 1 point only a hundred yards away from where the president gave his speech there were large crowds of people completely unchecked they had no idea of what was in their bags or totes or vehicles it was all posted outside the agr so looking at this i was able to get at where the counter snipers were on the roof and delay in the position where atomic crookes took his shot and was ultimately killed by the counter sniper team but
