>> welcome to a special edition of "jesse watters primetime". i'm in for jesse. we start with a fox news alert to this evening. and here it is. we are learning a lot more about the man who detonated a car bomb in front of the trump hotel in las vegas. authorities at a press conference today unveiled at the man you are looking at, they were able to crack into one of his phones. where he wrote chilling journal entries that could give us a clue into his mind-set before the explosion. >> this is an excerpt from the letter. he says, fellow service members, veterans and all americans, time to wake up. we're being led by weak leadership only serve to enrich themselves, where the united sates of america, the best country of people to ever exist but right now we are terminally ill and heading towards collapse. this was not a terrorist attack, americans only pay attention to spectacles of violence, what better way to get my point across than the stuff of fireworks and explosives. why did i do it now?

i need to cleanse my mind of the brothers i have lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives i took. >> the fbi says the active-duty u.s. soldier in combat veteran likely suffered from ptsd. this was a suicide designed to be a spectacle. his ex-girlfriend told "the washington post" that he confided in her about suffering traumatic brain injury while deployed overseas. officials stressed that the las vegas explosion does not appear to be linked to the new orleans terrorist attack. >> there is no evidence that these two events are connected. the only things that we have connecting them are incidental and what we believe to be coincidental similarities. in that both vehicles were rented through the same service, that they were both subjects serving in the military, that they both stayed at an airbnb, things like that. we have identified no communication between the subjects. no information that suggest that they knew each other or that

they ever served in the same unit, that they were ever assigned at the same place or at the same time and had interaction and no witness interviews have corroborated or provided any information that the two events are connected in any way. and a similar fashion, we have not identified any connection between this subject and any other terrorist organization. >> while they have a better idea about what happened in vegas, the country still searching for answers on the isis inspired attack that took the lives of 14 innocent americans in new orleans. tonight we're trying to piece together what happened on that terrible night. check this out. this is new footage obtained by "the new york post" that shows police and on intense shoot-out with the terrorist. [shouting] >> what the [bleep]! i got his [bleep] gun! [bleep]! [bleep]! oh no!

>> and the new orleans police chief made a startling admission the city had massive metal archers, these are anti-vehicle barriers that police used to block off the streets. but the police chief somehow did not know that they had them until the day after the attack. >> the archers, where they come in? >> actually we have them, i didn't know about them but we have them. and we have now been able to put them out. >> well that is entirely unhelpful. those barriers could have prevented the attack and saved 14 lives. why didn't the police chief of a major city know that she had them at her disposal? that's a huge question. tonight we're also finding out authorities found bomb making materials at a new orleans airbnb potentially linked to the terrorists. this the same airbnb that saw seen on a ring camera unloading on boxes from the truck that he later used in the attack.

meanwhile, fox news digital went inside the terrace houston home and spotted multiple copies of the quran as well as a book on christianity and a book about teaching children about islam. and while the fbi believes the man acted alone, the bureau and dhs sent out a bulletin to 18,000 law enforcement agencies across the country warning them to be hypervigilant of copycat attacks. there's no specific threat they are worried about but isis has been promoting these types of vehicle massacres for a decade. obama's former secretary of homeland security says he is concerned. >> you can see the terrorist threat to our country evolving from terrorist directed attacks where a terrorist organization overseas, directs a large-scale attack on the united states. 9/11 was the prime example. we evolved from that in about 2013, 2014, to what we now refer to as terrorist inspired attacks. were a terrorist organization on the internet will attempt to

inspire someone who was living in this country to radicalize and take it upon themselves to carry out a terrorist attack. that threat has not gone away and i'm concerned that it is at a heightened level right now. >> leave it to msnbc that they will say muslim extremist or not the problem, it is young white men we need to be worried about. >> the problem here is that you jump on one sort of crime, one crime committed by one name that sounds exotic, one brown face instead of looking at all of the domestic terror that we face, including what they advise is a really big problem which is young white men in america. >> but how can you blame msnbc? maybe they're just parroting the president of the united states who called white nationalists the greatest threat to our country. does he still think that?

>> thanks guys. thank you, everybody. >> what is the greatest terrorist in the united states? >> president biden announced will be visiting new orleans on monday. hopefully he will be clear-eyed about the threat that our country faces. the man was inspired by isis but the media will not say we have a problem with islamic extremism. no. the press, who turned a blind eye to the biden administration targeting pta meetings and catholic churches says don't look into muslim communities. >> you mentioned going into predominately muslim neighbourhoods that you worked in. how do we even know that he was even connected in that community? are we still in the post-9/11 era where we are going into muslim communities and assuming that people there need to be surveilled for terrorism when this terrorism is clearly happening in all kinds of different forms? including people who have absolutely no ties to muslim

countries. >> sender lindsey graham is calling out the media. quote, as i watch coverage of this barbaric, cowardly attack that was isis inspired, it is disturbing how far america has drifted from the fact that we are in a state of war with radical islamic forces. coverage suggest that we are fighting a crime and that isis inspired attacks are mere criminal events top part of the larger war on terrorism. it is now time for america to realize that radical islamic directed or inspired attacks are acts of war, not part of a criminal enterprise. isis inspired radicals have been attacking our country for over a decade, claiming nearly 100 lives. it is time for media to cover it accurately and the federal government to shut it down entirely. and alabama senator joins me now. senator, welcome. i want to begin with his sound bite from the other chamber of congress and the house of representatives.

he had the audacity to use extremism today, three days after a terrorist attack but he used it in a very interesting way, listen to this. >> we will work with anyone to secure our borders and we will work with anyone to fix our broken immigration system in a comprehensive and bipartisan manner. [applause] in the same period of time, -- at the same period of time, we will push back against far right extremism whenever necessary. >> far right extremism is the problem? look at these headlines all from the last year. you can see here it's not just what happened in new orleans, it is afghan national and u.s. on special immigrant visa accused of plotting and isis inspired election day attack, cnn, isis is not done with us,

highlighting u.s. fears of terror attack on the u.s. and then there is an abc one that follows. it seems we have a problem and it is not right wing extremism. >> i'm so glad you bring this up. first of all, you mention senator lindsey graham, the senator and i have been asking for briefings on isis. we have sent letters, we have made requests. the biden administration needs to let us know what is going on. after their disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan, that the media did not shed proper light on, we have seen a rise in extremism and radical islamic extremism. when you are looking at what hakeem jeffries said today, that cannot be further from the truth. first off, they have had for years to actually work to secure our border and they have done the exact opposite. if you look at the number of terrorists that have come across our border under the biden administration, no terrace that were caught at the border, there was 382 people in three fiscal years alone.

if you look back under president trump, as you know well, the same amount of time, president trump only had 11 known terrorists come to our border at that time. that is because he understood peace through strength. he scent a message to the world that we would have secure borders and joe biden, this administration have done the exact opposite. and the result of that is that we are seeing these things happen and occur all across our nation from young women being murdered and assaulted to the tragedy that we saw in new orleans. american people deserve better and the great news is that january 20th will be here in just 18, 17 days and we are going to get to work. we will actually confirm president trump's nomination and those nominees are going to get back to doing their job. putting safety and security and the american people first. weather it is the fbi or weather it is the doj.

no matter what it is, under president trump we will put americans first and we're going to go back to doing the business of the american people. instead of dealing with weaponization and woken us, we will be dealing with safety and security of our citizens. >> you've been asking for briefings from the biden administration and it's a huge emerging threat, it's a big deal. have you gotten any of those briefings? >> absently not. and senator graham and i, i'm happy to provide those to you, have asked for them. we know that we deserve answers, american people deserve answers and once again the biden administration is turning a blind eye. and when you look at the american media, they are as well. 's mainstream media that refused to call president biden's tenure what it is, which is just watching him deteriorate in front of our eyes. when you look at what has happened, weather it is the fbi actually in philadelphia saying the number 1 priority was diversity and off the safety and security of the american people.

weather it is them allowing the fbi and others to focus on pta meetings as you mentioned earlier. parents at school board meetings who want make sure their children are educated and not indoctrinated, they refused to help us tell this story and tell the american people the truth. so no, we've got no answers. but this more of the same for the biden administration. not understanding peace through strength, not keeping american people in safety and security first. but we will get those answers, a guarantee once we get cash patel confirmed, once we get pam bondi, once we get the doj running that, once we get marco rubio as secretary of state and all of the national security positions in place, we're going to get answers for the american people and we will put them first. >> no briefings on isis, maybe they're too busy hunting down right-wing extremists in the military. that was one of their big priorities. senator, thank you. >> it's unbelievable. >> even after letting a record-breaking number of

migrants, the biden administration is still assuring us that they really are protecting american citizens. you believe that? >> how can we be sure that isis will not find a safe harbour here? >> it is our highest responsibility to ensure the safety and security of the american people. and in the service of that responsibility, we screen and vet individuals and individuals who pose a threat to safety or national security are prioritized for immigration detention and removal from the united states. >> i don't think anyone believes that at this point. we know they are not properly screening migrants. migrants with long criminal rap sheets are constantly getting through with. they kill american citizens. and the third of illegals are no-shows for their deportation hearings. what is stopping a terrorist

from speaking in? surely it is not them. illegal migrants know this insanity ends on january 20th. so they are scrambling to hire lawyers before trump is sworn in. one new york group that trains lawyers to help migrants says their hotline hotline has received double the number of calls compared to last january. trump is promising a mass deportation and century city skin and the way of the law, they are going to face consequences. here is what one concerned citizen told the board of supervisors in san diego. >> i think 2025 will be pretty exciting. because when you guys say [bleep] you to the federal government, they're going to say [bleep] you two. you will have a sore awakening when the federal government comes after you for aiding and abetting and they will be like, you get a jail cell, you get a jail cell, you get a jail cell, you get a jail cell, you get a jail cell, you get a jail cell, you get a jail cell, you get a

jail cell. he's going to come after you. >> the incoming border leader is here now. tom, i can't help but laugh when you hear that. there's all these lawyers coming in, are these well-trained lawyers going to stop you from protecting american people? >> no, they are not. we're going to do this job and the store you discovered, we got over 2 million known got a ways. we know 2 million people crossed the border, weren't arrested, one vetted, the biggest national security vulnerability i have seen in my career and even the director of the fbi agrees with me. but look, present from has been clear. we will secure the border and we're going to finish the job of securing it. the most secure border in history of this nation. then we have the deportation operations if the century city's will either help or get out of the way because we are going to do it and they will not stop it. we will hopefully find many of the 340,000 missing children that were traffic in this

country and released to unvented sponsors that they're dealing with sex trafficking or forced labor, we will rescue those children. no one will stop us. >> the incoming national security advisor said something very interesting yesterday. listen to what he said. >> we have to take a hard look at our defences first and foremost. close our border. we have had over 300 people on the terrorist watch list traverse our border in the last years and number 2, i will remind everyone just in the last year we had eight isis operatives roll-up, surveilling sites to hit in three different cities. a number of them from that cell are still unaccounted for based into then. >> are there to she can stand isis linked individuals running around the country, unaccounted for? >> absolutely.

they were released here's what people need to know. the secretary said people are vetted, they are vetted through ncic, our criminal database. most countries don't have that. and if they do they don't share that information with us and as far as terrorist vetting, most terrorists in this world aren't in any screening database. unless they are arrested or involved in a title 300 cover wiretap, unless they are encountered on a battlefield by retina scans or some sort of biometric information in the database, we don't know who most terrorists are in this world. so they can vet all day long. the answer is to stop catch and release. detained these people. let officers go to their pocket trash, let them do deep dive investigations to find out exactly who these people are. that is what we want. we want to stop catch and release and that's what present trump will do. will put a stop this madness. >> tom, only have a few moments here but one of the challenges laid out by

"the wall street journal" is that eisenhower, who had mass deportations, had mostly migrants that were from mexico. so it was much easier to send a group back. whereas today, you have immigrants from ukraine, from tajikistan, from china, are you able to organize these flights out and get these countries to receive these individuals back? >> yes. because president trump is the strong as president i have ever worked for. i work for six presidents. no one is better at border security and president trump. he is successful in its unprecedented. el salvador took back ms-13 criminals it took president trump 14 hours -- 24 hours until we return people. it took present trump 48 hours to get a mexico program in place. he's a strong president khaki put america first. countries that don't help us khaki demands it. president trump is america first khaki is the strongest president i have seen in this country.

you will see the difference starting on january 20th. >> yes, present trump is america first and tom homan is lucky to have you at his side. thank you very much. coming up, kamala harris forgot the pledge of allegiance. no, we are not joking. our economic partnership keeps millions of americans working. we're here, right by your side.

♪ ♪ >> a unified g.o.p. is essential for donald trump's success once he takes office on january 20th. especially in the early months of his presidency. the republicans narrowly passed their first test of 2025, reelecting mike johnson as speaker of the house in the first ballot. it took a little bit of politicking after the initial vote, but johnson secured the

speakership with only one defection. president-elect trump reportedly played a big role. according to our own brett bear, trump made calls all morning prior to the vote but his most consequential call was as the vote was locked up with mike johnson short of the majority with three members having voted against him. congresswoman nancy mace and others convene standouts in a side office off the house floor for a conference call where the president-elect was on speakerphone. we are told that he said it would be disrespectful to americans who voted in a historic presidential election to have the speakers vote go to a second or third ballot. and it would be disrespectful, to me, he said. ending with, fellas, we have a lot to do, let's get to it. the media has been salivating over the idea of a fractured party. but they once again had the wind taken out of their sales. now that congress has their housekeeping settled, they are ready to move right along with

supporting the america first agenda. >> the path of prosperity has long been paved with policies that put america and americans first. and that is what we will champion in the 119 congress. sadly for the past four years, a divided government, too many politicians in washington have done the opposite. open borders and overregulation have destroyed our cities. inflation and weak leadership have left americans poor and they have placed our country in a perilous position. >> president trump was quick to congratulate johnson on being reelected speaker and explaining that the process brought house republicans even closer together. the president-elect was in constant communication with republicans, working the phones this morning r and he reportedly called two of the three holdouts from the golf course. meanwhile, things are going that smoothly on the other side of the aisle. the house minority leader gave this rousing speech to his party

after the speaker election. >> democrats will never abandon the long walk towards freedom. we will fight hard to defend the freedom of opportunity that makes the american dream possible. we will fight hard for the freedom to vote. >> they love that word, fight. fight, fight, fight. and kamala harris forgot the pledge of allegiance at the beginning of the senate swearing-in ceremony. >> please join me in pledging allegiance to our flag. i pledge of allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. >> now that is something only kamala harris could do. we are join now. congresswoman, when we look back

in time, see kevin mccarthy and the vote to make him speaker and it went 15 ballots. 15. but something was different today. and i want to pull this up, what was different. this is new reporting about president trump's involvement. the message from the president-elect, according to a source with direct knowledge of that call was we had the most historic election, you're stepping all over it by being ridiculous, spin to the holdouts, i want all of the swing states but while democrats are sticking together, you two guys are screwing it all up. it seems that we did not go to 15 rounds today because of the political capital of president donald trump. your thoughts? >> well he is known for the art of the deal. and i would like to just say that for those holdouts, we actually did get assurances, not just from president trump but also from speaker johnson we were going to do something in reconciliation and ensure we are saving for americans and future generations. so i don't think today would have gone the way it did unless was for president trump so

thank you for that. being that i was one of the holdouts back in january, we are trying to change the institution, we did and we saw today that we are unified g.o.p. moving forward. >> that is good to hear that they got a policy deliverable so maybe its something worth it in the long run. but congresswoman, as you look at this and you think about a narrow 2-17, 2-15 majority which is what it will be when you can for the two going into the trump situation, what does it say about passing major legislation? you think there will be an issue? >> i think there will be a lot of people that might try to become many mansions as i like to call it. but at the end of the day, when we ran for reelection, we all ran on the america first agenda, really securing our borders, eliminating some of these crazy taxes but then also to ensure the american people were put first and foremost and not being forgotten. so i think all of those messaging items are important and i hope that my colleagues decide to work together r again,

we have our first big test that is going to be on budget reconciliation. we actually start meetings tomorrow, i'm not even leaving washington, were staying for the weekend and hopefully we will be able to deliver what is for america. >> i like that. many mansions, it's very clever. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> well donald trump will be back in a courtroom. can you believe that? and this will be days before his inauguration. nature made. made with quality ingredients. (glasses clink) made to care for you, every day. ♪ from nature made, the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand.

>> this is a fox news alert. a new york judge denied donald trump's motion to dismiss the hush money indictment and vacate the president-elect's guilty verdict. he ordered the president-elect to appear for sentencing on january tenth. just 10 days before inauguration , it's unprecedented. and will most of the left remaining lawn care turns to dust after trump's landslide victory, the judge has shown no

signs of slowing down. president trump says that democrats, quote, just want to see if they can get a pound of flesh because every case has failed. he went on to say the judges corrupt and i'm still under a gag order. i am not allowed to speak about the thing he leased wants me to talk about. it is crazy. now despite moving forward with the sentencing, he has signalled that he will not sentence trump to any jail time. so what does this mean for the president-elect or any other politician who may be targeted by their political enemies? a constitutional law attorney and fox news attorney and george washington law professor is here now. professor, you always have such a way with words. and you say this is the final cathartic act for law fair warriors. but these warriors did not just lose the battle, they lost the war. have they not figured that out at this point?

>> it is very true. i think that -- the amazing thing about this order is that it is almost sensing by sound bite. what he is giving to the trump critics is a label. that once he sentences the president-elect, he will technically be a convicted felon. and that will become the new mantra. the sound bite going into the inauguration that this is history being made. even though the president-elect has had no opportunity to appeal this case. which in my view, is layers of reversible error. but this is done just before the inauguration. and the timing, by the way, is notable. we have been waiting for him to make this decision. he schedules at just over a week before the inauguration and then he drops a hint that if he was not able to sentence and before the inauguration, he may just suspend sentencing for four years. i mean i would call that

passive-aggressive but seems rather actively aggressive. >> yes, it is rather aggressive. but this will allow president trump to appeal. you mentioned layers of reversible error. what happens next? does this make it to the supreme court? what's the timeline? >> it will have to go through the new york court system and there is not a lot of expectations left for most of us in the new york legal system, i'm hoping for the best. but eventually it will go to the supreme court. but in terms of the -- that's the first appeal in terms of dealing with the sentencing. generally trial judges have the advantage and the court of appeals courts tend to prefer sentencing to be done so that the case can be finalized. as for the case itself, that could take years of appeal and would go deep into trump's presidency and he would have to continue to argue the case while he is president. >> a final question for you, we just have a few moments.

but this was an under-the-radar headline from "the new york post" yesterday. three senior doj officials leaked nonpublic investigative information days before on election, according to the inspector general. this nonpublic information, according to a leader involved negative information about president trump and could have included classified u.s. intelligence uncertain about that. does this surprise you that doj officials are leaking this kind of information? >> unfortunately, it's not surprising at all. of course you had the former fbi director who actually removed classified material from the fbi , gave it to a friend who leaked it to the media and then you have andrew mccabe who was accused of leaking material to the media. this is a pattern within the department of justice. and it does show this culture that makes the department of justice the most hardened silo for the incoming trump administration. i think that is why the president wanted someone without

any connections to the department of justice. because he wants to change the culture. >> it's important to change, think you professor. >> thank you. >> coups, coverups and pardons. coming to grips with joe biden's legacyen m. y is another option. it works fast, and most have migraine pain relief within two hours. you can treat it anytime, anywhere. tell your doctor all medicines you take. don't take... ...with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. get help right away for allergic reactions like trouble breathing or face, tongue, or throat swelling, which may occur hours to days after use. common side effects include nausea and sleepiness. migraine pain relief starts with you. learn how abbvie could help you save on ubrelvy.

♪ ♪ >> president biden has 17 days left in the oval. but who's counting? >> she's going to have an opportunity to speak told you, to hear from him and many times in the next 17 days about his thoughts, about his presidency and we will let him speak for himself. he has had a historic presidency, he's done more in one term the most president have been able to do in two terms. and that is just the facts, it's what we've been able to see. >> unfortunately for biden, 17 days will not be nearly enough time to erase the historic cover-up of the presidents mental acuity from the minds of americans. you saw the videos, you heard

the speeches. when you add questions, they said you were crazy. remember all of it was just cheap fakes. democrats didn't just gas let you over joe biden's health, they did it on immigration, crime and the economy as well. which led to a generational shift away from the democratic party. driving away even the most diehard liberals. >> when you are affected day today by quality-of-life issues and all you hear from the democratic party is shot up, know it's not happening and if it's happening its not that big of a deal, man, that really does red pill people. it builds resentment towards the party and i really think the democrats need to pivot away from that because they are going to keep losing if they think that that type of treatment of voters, that type of disrespect towards voters is going to get them anywhere. >> let's bring in the former press secretary for joe biden, michael rozsa. happy to have you here. and i want to begin with and

reporting that came out a few weeks ago from "the wall street journal", based on 50 sources. it was quite a lot. that report began by talking about you. i want to read this portion from the journal. during the 2020 presidential primary, joe biden campaign so extensively across iowa, she held events and more counties than her husband. the fact that her press secretary at the time touted to a local reporter is superior in the biden campaign quickly chided him as the three road in a minivan through the states cornfield, the then deputy campaign manager and chief of staff to joe biden pressed you to contact the reporter again and play down any comparison and campaign appearances. why didn't anthony want you comparing joe biden's schedule -- joe biden schedule to joe biden's? >> that was my first time being a spokesperson to the supporting actor.

but the report -- it and really tout it, happened was i confirmed her schedule which was public information, as you know. i can't lie about publicly available information. the truth was she was travelling quite a bit and if they didn't want her to be, then she should not have been travelling. but look, agent dogged the campaign from the very beginning. that was nothing new. and i think my boss, to his credit, was merely saying every time we are bragging about her aggressive schedule, it can come at a cost to the star of the show. >> so there was some reporting back in june, this was from axial's and they said this. biden's behaviour stunned many in the white house, in part because biden's closest aids, often led by joe biden's top aide, took steps early in the term to essentially rope off the president r with that your experience?

you were there in the first two years, was the president roped off i people on your team, and joe biden, the first lady's office? >> that wasn't exactly my experience. it is true that this president is notoriously an solar. and that there was -- don't forget the first two years, we were still in reaction, the white house was every day a reaction to covid. they had covid spikes come up and down, we famously said america was back when apparently, there were a lot of variance still to come. so we weren't really in the clear and they were trying to keep him -- both the present and first lady back all the time. i think, look, ronald reagan's daughter wrote a really powerful op-ed in "the new york times" last week that said we might want to start thinking about this a little bit differently. that this might not be a massive plot -- diabolical plan to deceive people but it was people

close to the president care about him and what they were doing was achingly human to protect their boss and protect somebody they love. i'm not saying that they made the best political choices for the democratic party or the country, but i don't know if it is as sinister as some people are making it outta be. >> michael rozsa, i appreciate your candour and thank you for being here. breaking news, we will be right back. iberogast indigestion iberogast bloating iberogast thanks to a unique combination of herbs, iberogast helps relieve six digestive symptoms to help you feel better. six digestive symptoms. the power of nature. iberogast.

[ ♪♪ ] >> it's time for tonight's headline roundup. let's bring in the host of fox news saturday night. jimmy, i picked this first one just for you. hey, did you miss meghan markle? the runaway royal who pled for privacy. she's about to drop a new series

on netflix where you can watch her cooking, beekeeping and picking out flowers. listen. >> i've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it. [ ♪♪ ] >> surprising people with moments that let them know i was really thinking of them. >> what? this is probably one most glamorous moments of my hive. life. >> gosh. >> that's must-view television for you. >> meghan markle is like a stray cat we fed once that won't go away. she just keeps coming back. and obviously the whole show is an exercise in imagery abilitiation because she's trying to look like this generous individual. if she wanted the american people to like her, she should do a true crime podcast about how she stole harry's nuts because that is a mystery none of us can figure out.

getting a little bit of a whiskey buzz. >> hey! give the girl a break. she deserves a glass of wine or whatever she enjoys. >> fair. >> fair. gal his son seems to be handling the victory. here's kathy griffin. >> it's been a few seven years since my trump decapitated head photo scandal where on the no fly list and the interpoll list and now he's going to be president again and i'm on the enemies list. so you couldn't see me before in one of those internment camps. >> oh, please. >> internment. >> she keeps tweeting that trump's going to go after comedians which means kathy griffin is safe. she's not a comedian. i don't know what you call her. she's famous for putting a plastic face on tv but enough about her face. yes, there's the trump thing as

well. she's a loser. >> she is. i got to ask you real quick, the decapitated head. she never got passed that. >> yep. >> i mean, it was gross and it wasn't a real attempt at humour. but you understand they weren't cancelling her because she went too far. so much as they were cancelling her because the american people had suffered enough from her tv show and they needed a time-out. she's welcome to go back on tour now. i'm sure they'll still show her act in guantanamo bay because you can't water board. give me a break. >> jimmy, you're the best. that's why i love watching your show.
