where it used to be two lanes, now there is one lane and a very busy part of the city, all over the city it is like that, a limiting entire lanes for automobiles and it makes life in the city really difficult. but they like that. >> people like to control your lives and like the idea that fossil fuels are this evil that we have to strangle everyone over, but, yes,, president trump has talked about unleashing american energy. that is a great expression, i hope he picks the people who will do the best job at that. if we unleash american energy, we will be far more secure and prosperous. >> laura: and also a lot of people will be happier and more healthy in the end. alex, think you so much. that is it for us tonight, there's always a lot of news in our hour now, i love it. thanks for watching, remember america now and forever, jesse is up next. >> jesse: welcome to "jesse watters primetime". tonight... >> politics is tough. in many cases not a very nice

world but it is a nice world today. the transition going so smooth, it will be as smooth as it can get. >> jesse: he's back! >> isn't it nice to win? it's nice to win. >> pete? all right, pete. >> jesse: trump's cabinet driving the media crazy. and the hits keep coming. >> boo all you want! >> to my republican colleagues, the temptation may be to go to the extreme. this body is most effective when it is bipartisan. >> jesse: democrats begging for mercy. >> there is no point in saying good morning because it certainly is not one. >> jesse: plus... >> oh [bleep] you. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: he's back! donald trump returned to d.c.

today and his first meeting was with congress. >> thank you very much, this is a nice gathering, isn't it nice to win? it's nice to win. it's always nice to win. a lot of good friends in this room. so you know we had historic numbers. especially for the president but we won't get into that. >> jesse: his whole entourage was there. elon musk got a standing ovation. >> elon has been -- [cheering and applause] [cheering and applause] >> jesse: behind closed doors, trump jokes elon won't go home, i can't get rid of him. the next stop was the white house. biden-harris staffers raced away from their desks to watch history turn the page. >> it is really stunning. those are biden staffers. some of them are lower-level, some of them perhaps a little bit higher.

but they are there to watch a historic moment being made. no one is standing there wanted. >> jesse: biden was just as giddy as his staff. >> donald, congratulations. i'm looking forward to having neck like you said, a smooth transition. so we can make sure you're accommodated and what you need to. we will talk about that today. welcome. >> thank you very much. politics is tough. and in many cases it is not a very nice world but it is a nice world today and i appreciate you very much. that transition is so smooth that it will be as smooth as it can get. and i very much appreciate that. >> jesse: biden seemed relieved to be passing the torch to don the dictator. since kamala lost we have not seen joe happier. how do you, call him hitler almost get him killed and then

when he wins you invite them over for coffee? i don't know what goes on in his little head. he doesn't either. these two guys met for almost two hours and trump says we got to know each other again. telling the post, quote, i asked for his views and he gave them to me. he was very gracious and it was a very good meeting. binder says it was downright chummy. >> did he get a sense that the issues he was impressing upon him, any advice he was giving was being well received? >> i think so. i think that's why the president was wanting me to let you all know that there was a very good back-and-forth. they met for more than two hours, they met for a very long time. were nearly two hours, pardon me. and i think by the length of the meeting tells you that they had an in-depth conversation on array of issues. >> jesse: we hear they talked a lot about the middle east. but what else?

>> the last time these two were together in the same room, it was the debates. they talked a fair amount about playing golf. do know if the plan was made for them to play golf and president biden's retirement? >> that's not the last time they saw each other, they cite other at september 11th, i will move on. >> jesse: dr. jill even popped by to hand trump a letter. and she gave the dictator a nice, warm smile. kamala just got the cold shoulder. not everybody in the white house was as happy as the bidens. an unnamed biden official reacting to the meeting with, what the f. they wanted biden to be a bridge to the next generation but he was just a roundabout, right back to trump. now trump is back in washington with an overwhelming mandate and the democrats are squabbling and totally shut out of power. in a secret ballot, senate republicans picked a new senate majority leader. and trump's cabinet will get a fair shake and a fast track.

>> we will do everything we can to process it quickly, at them installed in their position so they can begin implement in his agenda. >> jesse: we learned today that tulsi gabbard has been tapped for director of national intelligence. that is a big role and she will be on the show in a minute. and here's a surprise. florida congressman matt gaetz has been selected to be trump's attorney general. he is a sharp tongue lawyer who sat on the house judiciary committee has tangled with democrats and republicans and shines a spotlight on government corruption and weaponization. >> seems like every time i turn around they are engaged in surveillance or list building or monitoring and i don't care if it takes every second of our time and every ounce of our energy, we either get this government back on our side or we defund and get rid of, abolish the fbi, cdc, hef, doj, every last one of them if they

do not come to heal! >> jesse: he is controversial because of some personal allegations that biden's justice department hung over his head but never prosecuted. we expect the democrats to treat him like trash and turn his hearing into the salem witch trials. some are already squishy. he can't afford more than a few knows. donald trump cannot allow his own justice department to sabotage his presidency again. no more robert mueller. matthew gates would not put up with another coup. the attorney general has to be trusted, that's why obama made his choice, that's why jfk picked his own brother. trump's been shot, impeach twice, had his wife's underwear drawer rummage through my feds. his calculation is that he will run a clean shop and sniff out any shenanigans before they spread. the pace of trump's cabinet picks, with a few curveballs, has heads spinning. >> what is the buzz right now?

>> i mean i hope you don't forgive me for saying this but the general vibe on the hill right now is wtf. >> jesse: when washington hurt pete hegseth be the next defence secretary it caught them off guard. defense lobbyists were leaking who the f is this guy. and the media cannot believe it. >> the president is moving quickly to fill the clown car and round out his cabinet. he has selected fox weekend morning show host, you can't make this up, peter hegseth to serve a secretary of defense because why not. >> cohost of fox and friends weekend. not even regular! weekend! pete -- >> hegseth. >> hegseth. >> hegseth? >> okay. >> obviously it's weird and there's only one reason he is doing it is because he is on fox news. >> i don't necessarily know if acumen is top of mind when picking these people. >> jesse: so pete is a

decorated army combat vet who did tours in iraq and afghanistan and a spot for veterans for years. he has not been corrupted by decades in washington. he was not made by the machine. he has a fresh set of eyes and a clear vision for the pentagon. it's not like he will let chinese fiber lynn's fly across the country orlagh billions of dollars in military hardware in the taliban's hands or make the irani ins and the cartels filthy rich and watch a land were corrupt in europe or anything. we can definitely tell you that hegseth will not have drag story hours on army bases and diversity classes at west point. i guarantee you he will not spend a week in the hospital and hide from the commander in chief. democrats are suddenly obsessed with specific qualifications after telling us merit did not matter. all that mattered was your race and gender. well pete is a straight, white male with a lot of kids. will that be a problem? biden stacked his administration

with people like mayor eat and binders and sticky sammy's. pete is plenty qualified. jim maltz was about to be a heartbeat away from the presidency and he lied about being in combat. pete hegseth was in gun fights in a rack in afghanistan and has two bronze stars and i would rather have him in that room than tampon tim. trump is picking stars he can trust to watch his back and enact his agenda and they are rolling them out fast and fun. the country senses it is on the precipice of massive change and we are excited. and i'm not just saying that because i know the entire cabinet and i will be asking for special favors. probably inappropriate but it doesn't hurt to ask. democrats are not scared of hitler coming back to town. if they were, biden would not be smiling. they are scared that his renegade cabinet will expose how rotten they all are and turn things around so fast that americans will realize what is possible. a new golden age is not just a

slogan, it is a promise. trump's victory and cabinet picks are raising our expectations because we deserve to have our expectations raised. this is the greatest country on the face of the earth with the best land and the brightest people. we should not settle. the government works for us, not the other way around. that's what makes us free. and if trump and his team can revolutionize the way washington works and actually get it to work, the sky's the limit. and then mediocre culture of washington will be stigmatized forever. working on the hill your whole life at think tanks or pushing papers for the state department, getting nothing done for the good of the people accept padding your resume, backstabbing your enemies and racking up debt. if trump succeeds, the days when those guys, them ruling are over. the democrats are starting to realize what is about to hit them and they are warning republicans, don't be too bold.

have mercy. >> to my republican colleagues, i offer a word of caution in good faith. take care not to misread the will of the people and do not abandon a need for bipartisanship. after winning an election, the temptation may be to go to the extreme. we've seen that happen over the decades and it has consistently backfired on the party in power. >> jesse: that's rich coming from the party who was elected to pete covid but just ran through 2012 and dollars on changes. schumer can take a backseat this time, we don't need his help. what an exciting time to be alive. here now, newly nominated director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard. but first of all, congratulations. we are all very proud of you. take us into the room where the airplane when this was offered to you. how did it go down?

>> we had a great conversation and talked a little bit about the work that needs to be done and i was grateful and honored to accept president trump's offer to serve our country and support his objective to defend the safety, security and freedom of the american people as the director of national intelligence. >> jesse: how do you think foreign capitals are taking your nomination and the nomination of other people in the national security apparatus? >> that's a good question. i think president trump has already shown how active he has been in not waiting around for day one on january 20th or 21st. but he is already leading, he is already engaging with so many of these world leaders around the world, on the phone constantly and he is showing the kind of leadership that the american people voted for. >> jesse: do you expect resistance from the inside? because there was a lot of resistance in the first term and how would you deal with that? >> the american people delivered

quite on incredible mandate for change in this election with the popular vote and the electoral vote overwhelmingly saying, hey,, we want donald trump as president and we have had enough of the harris biden regime. of course there's going to be resistance to change from the swamp and washington. i think that is kind of the point. american people were saying, hey,, stop looking at yourselves, stop focusing on your own power, your own position, your own bank accounts. how about we have leaders in washington who are actually looking out for the american people. and on every issue across the board, that's what it comes down to with what president trump is trying to accomplish. we have to make sure that our government puts the interest of the american people first. >> jesse: how do you think the biden meeting went today? [laughter] >> it was interesting to see that biden did not seem to be able to stop smiling. for them to have sat there for what she said, a couple hours were good. i'm glad they sat there, they

seemingly had a good conversation. president trump, i'm sure is eager to get to work and glad to be back there. >> jesse: what do you think kamala is thinking right now? >> i can't even begin to venture how she is feeling right now. the amazing thing is what i hope the american people are feeling, is a sense of hope and frankly, jesse, it's hard to see how engaged people continue to be even though the election is over. that they are really looking forward to making sure that their voices are continued to be heard as we go through these next couple of months as president trump takes office as he begins to lead this significant change in our government. to me, this is what an active and thriving democratic republic looks like. it is not just centered around an election every two or four years, it is going to continue to require on active populace in

this country an order to bring about this kind of change that makes sure we truly have a government of by and for the people. >> jesse: and you will be active working alongside this team. you have radcliffe, pete hegseth, marco rubio. how excited are you and what are the plans? >> i think a lot of us are all eager to get to work. there is so much to be done. meetings have already begun. president trump is leading the charge in making sure that on day zero, once he takes that oath again on january 20th, that we are all chomping at the bit to get out there. >> jesse: that's why people are so excited. you can feel it, you can smell it in the air, almost. it is almost distracting because people cannot wait to get started and see what you guys are going to be up to.

how are your democrat colleagues taking it? or former democrat friends. you left the democratic party and became a republican, now you are any republican administration. what has been the reaction from those people? >> i'm actually pretty heartened. i heard from some of my former democrat colleagues who are serving an office today, as well as some who have left and are no longer serving in the house where the senate, reaching out and what i hope could be and should be an effort for us to work together and put the american people first that will hold, support and defend the constitution and again, ensure the safety, security and freedom of the american people. that should be the objective of every sin will member of the house and senate every single person who works in our government. so i was glad to hear from some of my former colleagues i haven't heard from in a little while. >> jesse: that's nice. you would expect that any republic. everyone wants to be safe, everyone wants to be secure. it should be pipe up -- bipartisan.

do you expect to get the support from leading democrats when you push on america first agenda through? >> i would hope that we have elected leaders who have heard the american people in this election. even if it didn't turn out the way that they wanted. and recognized that this is our opportunity to come together as a country and put the american people first and work together in order to be able to accomplish that. >> jesse: nothing controversial about putting the american people first. tulsi gabbard, i'm going to have to call you secretary now. i know you haven't been confirmed but it is the politetn confirmed but it is the politetn thing to do -- director, excuse me, i can't even get it right. there's a lot of titles goingai around, it'sr hard to keep trak of.ff thank you so much,or great to sn

[cheering and applause] [applause]

>> the era of big government is over. [applause] >> jesse: the era of big government was just getting started. in 96, feds spent $1.5 trillion. this year about 7 trillion. more bureaucrats, more spending, more debt and less power for you. and that all changes on january 20th. maria is the host of mornings with maria. so what do you think elon musk and vivek ramaswamy are going to do on day one? >> you have this list. they will go through this list and start chopping things right away. i think what is even more agree just in seeing the stuff that you just mention, that incredible list, is the fact that most people don't even realize how much their money is being wasted. and every year they are paying taxes and they don't really know where the money is going. now we know how it is being wasted. it is disgusting. >> jesse: can you imagine what

a better government we would have if people did not steal half a trillion dollars? budget seven and they are stealing half of a trillion, we wouldn't even be in debt if we could clean that up in a couple decades. >> and who is accountable? why is it that we are watching this fraud and this stolen money every year? who is accountable? >> jesse: is there a cop in charge of the spending? i guess now we have two cops. so the democrats are going to fight this. the democrats are going to be against reducing the debt. >> apparently, because it's trump. i think if anyone could get it done, it's a business person because that is the bottom line for business. they're watching costs like hawks and they are cutting out costs and that is what the point is. so it is good to get some business sense and government to try to cut out that waste. >> jesse: they say they will use ai to get out of that. i don't even know how that works.

>> i'm not sure how they'll do it. but i have confidence that two businessmen are going to come in and actually see where the money is going, what is coming in, what is going out and they're going to actually fix it. >> jesse: what do you think about the rest of trump's cabinet so far? >> i think the extraordinary that he is been able to name, what, 20 appointments in eight days? obviously president trump is moving very fast. that is a good sign. it does not appear that he will allow the mistakes that he made last time happen again. and that is surrounding himself with people who he believes are aligned with him but are actually undermining him. and i think that is one of his priorities here. so i like it. certainly there are unconventional picks r great for pete hegseth, happy for him. i know that he is going to approach this with incredible seriousness and make a difference. you made so many great points of the top of the show. but look, you look at what just happened in the election, people are really happy. and in business, there's this

the left you have democrats that cry proudly on camera. there was really no mystery there. there's also really no mystery on how democrats got into this position. let's think about it. and 2020, the best they could do was joe biden who was cognitively failing then and then got much worse. and then they replaced joe biden at the 11th hour with a woman who got no support in 2019, didn't even make it to 2020 and is on camera saying she supports taxpayer-funded trans surgeries for illegal immigrants who are detained in prison. i mean if you are wondering how you got here, folks, i think there is a pretty clear road, it is a yellow brick road. then you picked a running mate who does rock at kicks and wants to put tampons in the boys bathroom. it is pretty obvious how you got here. you can't dig your way out, you can rebuild but it is going to take less crying and more actual work. >> jesse: and the media was trying to help. sonny was saying i was trying to give her a layup.

move. >> have you ever gone and? >> jesse: my brother-in-law does it to me every time and i forget he's going to do it and he grabs it and he flips my wrist over. >> now you can give him the finger. >> jesse: that's my counter. when he goes over the top, i give him the finger. >> and then the other thing that you can see in that photo is that trump really pulls in on biden's hand so biden has to extend. it's also a power move there. >> jesse: you're bringing the guy into you and kind of jerking him towards you and it makes him a comfortable. >> but i think it's really the hand versus the bottom. if anyone ever did that to me, i would be like what you think you're pulling here? >> jesse: i will pull you right off this chair here. don't you try the finger on me! you don't try that on me! if you pull the finger, and pulling you into the chair. >> i would never. >> jesse: don't you dare. now this photo here, this fire. have you ever seen a fire like that? >> it was so beautiful. >> jesse: you know what they

[laughter] >> jesse: they both got into trouble for the documents, they let them on fire. >> bygones be bygones, like them on fire. it seemed overall, honestly, the meeting seemed good. it seemed like they were both peaceful. the tone was strong because these two have gone against pretty publicly. >> jesse: no one threw a punch. >> only a finger given and a hand on top. i was very happy. they seemed like they were ready for a peaceful transfer. >> jesse: we needed to see that after the last time. after what we have all gone through as a country. so unscripted interviews were never kamala thing, that's why an interview with rogan was a long shot. we were told she couldn't make it because of a scheduling conflict. it turns out her team wanted to control the questions as well. listen. >> she didn't want to talk about marijuana legalization which i thought was hilarious. >> why? >> because of her prosecuting record. she put a lot of people in jail for weed. 1500, apparently.

>> jesse: have you ever had a politician agree to an interview and tell you that they can't ask certain questions? >> i mean teams will definitely try to do that. they will say this person doesn't want to talk about this or that but then you say i hear you but we are going to need to. >> jesse: i will ask whatever i want. you to say, yeah,, sure and then you get the men and at them over the head. >> you do some nice questions and then hit them with that one because the reality is that everyone wants to hear, especially in his podcast, the guy has smoke with elon musk, he is obviously going to talk about marijuana legalization and it is something that she, by the way, said she was four on the campaign trail. the issue was surpassed versus are present which is something that she struggled with in general. she was constantly flip-flopping. i think the big thing with this, she missed out on a ton of podcast interviews that maybe could have helped. but like you said in the interim of this, she wasn't good with that -- sitting down for three hours with rogan might have even done more harm. >> jesse: she couldn't do 25 minutes with brett bear. they were like throwing in the

camera off towel, stop the interview! we didn't want to tell the interview -- audience but madison made me agree to not ask her a few questions, we can't even talk about. but i am under strict stipulations to keep things off limits. >> that's why i keep coming back. >> jesse: it's for the good of the country and madison's personal life. but next up, people magazine just named annual sexiest man alive. note, it's not greg gutfeld. so who did they pick? >> hey, everybody,, know this is not a dream, i have been named "people's" sexiest man alive. what is happening? >> jesse: do you believe he deserves to be the sexiest man alive? >> no. and that is honestly not a knock against him. he's a cute guy and he has really had a glow-up because we got to know him on the office when he was really the nerdy paper seller and he has done more, he has done the car series that he cowrote with his wife.

and he is in that cia where he is like a james bond figure. i'm sure there's lots of women at home that are saying i'm crazy, he's very. >> jesse: but who do you think it should have been the sexiest man alive? >> i try to prep this because i thought you'd ask this. i'm doubly good at answering questions but asking them, i was like what will he ask me about? so i knew that was coming. i guess i would say channing tatum. >> jesse: channing tatum? >> because i love a good dancer. however,, the reality is that doing this job can meet a lot of different people and these famous folks, we put them on a pedestal but they're just like you and me so i could just as easily say channing tatum or jesse watters my good friend. >> jesse: just like channing tatum. is dancing as a guide, is that considered? when you see a guy who's got rhythm, you like that? >> for this girl, yes. >> jesse: what else besides dancing well? >> i really like a smart guy. so if i'm sitting there and you explain something and i don't get it, i'm like tell me more... [laughter]

i want to know more. >> jesse: so if greg gutfeld could dance, he would be your whole past? [laughter] >> i will say no such thing on national television. >> jesse: that's one of the things that was off-limits, sorry to go there, will have to edit this -- this is live? oh, my god. channing tatum, if you are watching... >> call me! >> jesse: more prime time ahead. ♪ ♪ you know at leaffilter, we're proud to say we have millions of satisfied customers. hey, there's one right now. and another!
