indiana. indiana holding on to beat the scarlet knights 84 to 74. nice exciting times. >> mines quick. you know what time it is, what it is. comedy tour. check it out in the city near you. kennedy. >> well, look at this. little dave desaulnier is trying to run a marathon every day in 2025 to beat the world record. she is raising money for breast cancer. the record is 151. she's trying to 365 marathons in one year. god bless her. >> wow. >> awesome. okay, i think i don't know if we have time for mine. it was a black bear that made it through gatlinburg, tennessee, which is a place i used to go and frequent. the thing to do is kind of casually get away from it. they're usually skittish, but it happens there in the middle of bear country. they're in their home, really. >> they just walk around. >> oh yeah, paddington bear. >> hey, listen, that's it for us. y'all have a great night and good weekend. >> could you pet the bear? >> all right. i love ending on.

>> welcome to a special edition of jesse watters primetime. i'm kayleigh mcenany in for jesse. well, we start with a fox news alert this evening. and here it is. we're learning a lot more about the man who detonated a car bomb in front of the trump hotel in las vegas. authorities held a press conference today revealing that the man you're 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 mindset before the explosion. >> this is an excerpt from that letter. he says fellow service members, veterans and all americans, time to wake up. we are being led by weak and feckless leadership who only serve to enrich themselves. we are the united states of america, the best country people to ever exist. but right now we are terminally ill and headed towards collapse. this was not a terrorist attack. it was a wake up call. americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. what better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives? why did i personally do it? now i need to cleanse my mind of the

brothers i've lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives i took. >> the fbi says matthew berger, an active duty u.s. soldier and combat veteran, likely suffered from ptsd, and this was a suicide designed to be a spectacle, reveals berger's ex-girlfriend told the washington post that he confided in her about suffering a traumatic brain injury while deployed overseas. officials stress 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. what we believe to be coincidental. similarities in that both vehicles were rented through the same service, that they were both both subjects served in the military, that they both stayed at an airbnb, things like that. we have identified no telephonic or email communication between the subjects, no information that suggests that they knew each other, that they ever served in

the same unit, that they were ever assigned at the same place 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. in similar fashion. we have not identified any connection between this subject and any other terrorist organization. >> while we have a better idea about what happened in vegas, the country is still searching for answers on that 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, and it shows police in an intense shootout with the terrorist. i had just done. >> oh, hell no. >> and the new orleans police chief made a startling

admission. the city had massive metal archers. these are anti-vehicle barriers that police use to block off the streets, but the police chief somehow did not know they had them until the day after the attack. >> so our yellow archers, where did they come from? >> actually, we have them. i didn't know about them, but we have them, and so we have been able to. >> well, that's 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? it'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 is the same airbnb that jabbar was seen on a ring camera unloading boxes from the truck that he later used in the attack. meanwhile, fox news digital went inside the terrorist

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 jabbar acted alone, the bureau and dhs sent out a bulletin to 18,000 law enforcement agencies across the country, warning them to be hyper vigilant for copycat attacks. there's no specific threat they're worried about, but isis has been promoting these types of vehicle massacres for a decade. obama's former secretary of homeland security says he's 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, nine over 11 being the prime example. we evolved from that in about 2013, 2014 to what we now refer to as terrorist inspired attacks, where a terrorist organization on the internet will attempt to inspire someone

who is 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's at a heightened level right now. >> but leave it to msnbc to say that muslim extremists are not the problem. it's young white men that we need to be worried about. >> the problem here is that you you know, you jump on one sort of crime, one crime committed by one, one name. that sounds exotic, one brown face. rather than looking at all of the domestic terror that we face, including what the fbi says, you know, 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?

>> okay. thanks, guys. that one fox. >> thank you. >> everybody still consider white supremacy the greatest terrorist threat to the united states? >> president biden announced he will be visiting new orleans on monday. hopefully, he will be clear eyed about the threat that our country faces. jabbar was inspired by isis, but the media won't 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 the predominantly muslim neighborhood that he worked in. how do we even know that he was even connected in that community? i mean, are we still in the post 911 era where we're 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 communities.

>> senator 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. the coverage suggests that we're fighting a crime, and that isis inspired attacks are mere criminal events, not 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's time for the media to cover it accurately and the federal government to shut it down entirely. alabama senator katie britt joins me now. senator britt, welcome. i want to begin with a soundbite from the other chamber of congress. and that's the house of representatives. this is hakeem

jeffries. he had the audacity to use the word 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. at 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. i mean, look at these headlines all from the last year. senator brit, you see here, it's not just what happened in new orleans. it's afghan national and us on special immigrant visa accused of plotting an isis inspired election day attack. cnn. isis isn't done with us. arrested

tajiks highlight u.s. fears of terror attack on us. and then there's an abc one that follows. it seems we have a problem and it is not right wing extremism. >> kayleigh, i'm so glad you bring this up. >> first off, you mentioned senator lindsey graham. senator lindsey graham and i have been asking for briefings on isis. k we have sent letters. >> we have made requests. the biden administration needs to let us know what's 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're looking at what hakeem jeffries said today, that couldn't be further from the truth. first off, they've had four years to actually work to secure our border, and they've done the exact opposite. if you look at the number of terrorists that have come across our border under the biden administration, known terrorists that were caught at the border, it was 382 people in three fiscal years alone. >> if you look back under president trump, kayleigh, as

you know well, from fy 17 to fy 20, same amount of time, president trump only had 11 known terrorists come to our border at that time. >> that's because he understood peace through strength. >> he sent a message to the world that we were going to have secure borders. and joe biden, this administration, hakeem jeffries and others have done the exact opposite. and the result of that is we are seeing these things happen and occur all across our nation, from young women being murdered and raped to the tragedy that we saw occur in new orleans. the american people deserve better. and the great news. kayleigh, is that january 20th will be here in about a few 18, 17 days and we're going to get to work. we're going to actually confirm president trump's nominees, and those nominees are going to get back to doing their job, putting safety and security of the american people first, whether it is kash patel at the fbi or whether it is at doj. no matter what it is under president

trump, we're going to put americans first, and we're going to get back to doing the business of the american people. and instead of dealing with weaponization and wokeness, we'll be dealing with safety and security of our citizens. >> so you've been asking for those briefings from the biden administration on isis, k? it's a huge emerging threat. it's a big deal. have you gotten any of those briefings? >> absolutely not. and senator graham and i and i'm happy to provide those to you. kayleigh, have asked for them because we know that we deserve answers. the 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, this 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 when you look at what has happened, whether it's the fbi actually in philadelphia saying their number one priority was diversity and not the safety and security of the american people, you know, whether it is them allowing the fbi and

others to focus on pta meetings that you mentioned earlier, parents at school board meetings who want to make sure their children are educated and not indoctrinated. they refuse to help us tell this story and tell the american people the truth. so no, we have gotten no answers. but this is more of the same for the biden administration. not understanding peace through strength, not putting the american people in their safety and security first. but we will get those answers. i guarantee you that once we get kash patel confirmed, once we get pam bondi there, you know, at doj running that once we get. marco rubio at secretary of state and all the national security positions in place, we're going to get answers for the american people, and we're going to put them first. >> yeah, no briefings on isis. k maybe they're too busy hunting down right wing extremists in the military. that was lloyd austin's priority. senator brit, thank you. >> it's unbelievable. kayleigh. >> even after letting in a record breaking number of migrants, the biden

administration is still assuring us that they really are protecting american citizens. do you believe that? how can we be sure that isis won't find a safe harbor here? oh, 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 public safety or national security are prioritized for immigration detention and removal from the united states. yeah, i don't think anyone believes that at this point. we know they're not properly screening migrants. migrants with long criminal rap sheets constantly get through. they kill american citizens like laken riley and rachel moran. and a third of illegals are no shows for their deportation hearings. what's stopping a terrorist from sneaking in? certainly it's not

mayorkas. illegal migrants know this insanity ends on january 20th, so they're scrambling to hire lawyers before trump's sworn in, one new york group that trains lawyers to help migrants says their hotline has received double the number of calls compared to last january. trump's promising a mass deportation operation, and if sanctuary cities get in the way of the law, they're going to face consequences. here's what one concerned citizen told the board of supervisors in san diego. >> i think 2025 is going to be pretty exciting because when you guys say you to the federal government, they're going to say, you two, you're going to have a saw awakening when the federal government comes after you for aiding and abetting, and they're going to 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. tom homan is going

to come after you. >> incoming border czar tom homan is here. now, you know, tom, i can't help but laugh when i hear that there's all these lawyers coming in. are these well-trained lawyers going to stop you from protecting the american people? >> no. they're not. >> we're going to do this job. >> and the story you just covered. look, we got over 2 million. over 2 million known got aways. >> we know 2 million people across the border weren't arrested, weren't fingerprinted, weren't vetted. >> biggest national security vulnerability i've seen in my career. and even christopher wray, the director of fbi, agrees with me. but look, president trump's been clear. we're going to secure that border, and we're going to finish the job of securing the border. we have the most secure border in the history of this nation. then we're going to run this deportation operation and these sanctuary cities, they can help or get out of the way because we're coming and we're going to do it. they're not going to stop it, and we're going to find, hopefully find many of the 340,000 missing children that were trafficked

in this country, released to unvetted sponsors that are now living a life of hell every day in sex trafficking or forced labor. we're going to rescue those children to no one's going to stop us, you know, incoming national security adviser michael walls said something very interesting yesterday. >> listen to what he said. >> we've got to take a hard look at our defenses. first and foremost, close our border, where we've had over 300 people on the terrorist watch list, traverse our border in the in the last years. number one. number two, i'll remind everyone, just in the last year, we had eight isis operatives rolled up surveilling sites to hit in three different cities, a number of them from that cell are still unaccounted for based out of tajikistan. >> are there tajikistan? isis linked individuals running around the country unaccounted for? >> absolutely. and let's remember those eight. tajikistan's where secretary

mayorkas, they were released. they were vetted to what happened? look, here's what people need to know. when secretary mayorkas says people are vetted, they're vetted through ncic, our criminal database. most countries don't have an ncic, and if they do, they don't share the information with us. and as far as terrorist vetting, most terrorists in this world are in any screening database unless they're arrested or involved in a title three undercover wiretap and caught on a chatter, unless they're encountered on a battlefield by dod and there's a retina scan done, or some sort of biometric information entered in the database. we don't know who most terrorists are in this world, so they can vet all day long. the answer is stop, catch and release. detain these people. let officers go through their pocket trash. let them do deep dive investigation. find out exactly who these people are. and that's what we want. we want to stop, catch and release. and that's what president trump's going to do. we're going to put a stop to this madness. >> tom. i only have a few moments here, but one of the challenges laid up by the wall street journal is that eisenhower, who had mass

deportation, 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 going to be able to organize these flights out and get these countries to receive these individuals back? >> yes, because president trump is the strongest president i ever worked for. i worked for six presidents. ronald reagan. no one is better at border security. and president trump. well, his success is unprecedented. he's a strong president. when i was ice director. el salvador wouldn't take back ms13 criminals. it took president trump 24 hours until we were moving people to el salvador. mexico didn't want to do the remain in mexico program. it took president trump 48 hours to get remain in mexico in place. president trump is a strong, strong president. he puts america first. if ever other countries want to help us, he can demand to help us. if it's a threat of tariffs or whatever. president trump is america first. he's the strongest president i've seen in this country. you're going to see the difference

starting january 20th. >> yeah. president trump is america first. and tom homan, he's very fortunate and blessed to have you at his side in this endeavor. thank you very much. well, coming up, kamala harris forgot the pledge of allegiance. no, we are not joking. >> when life spells heartburn, how do you spell relief? rolaids. rolaids dual active formula begins to neutralize acid on contact. rolaids spells relief. >> my doctor's office with a filing system from the 80s has my social. >> think of all the places that can expose your info. lifelock monitors millions of data points for identity theft. if there's a problem, we fix it. guaranteed. >> is a bitcoin etf the same as owning bitcoin directly? while bitcoin etfs might offer a familiar face, they lack the true ownership and flexibility

elect trump reportedly played a big role in whipping the votes, according to our own bret baier. 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 and three members having voted against him. congresswoman nancy mace and others convened the standouts ralph norman and keith self in a side office off the house floor for a conference call where the president elect was on speakerphone. we're told that, he said it would be disrespectful to americans who voted in a historic presidential election to have this speaker's vote go to a second or a 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 now. the media has been salivating over the idea of a fractured party, but they once again had the wind taken out of their sails. now that congress has their housekeeping settled, they're 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 119th congress. sadly, for the past four years of divided government, too many politicians in washington have done the opposite. open borders and overregulation have destroyed our cities and stifled innovation. inflation and weak leadership have left americans poorer, 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, and he reportedly called two of the three holdouts from the golf course. meanwhile, things aren't going that smoothly on the other side of the aisle. house minority leader hakeem jeffries, of course, gave this rousing speech to his party after the speaker election.

>> democrats will never abandon the long walk toward freedom. we will fight hard to defend the freedom of opportunity that makes the american dream possible. we will fight hard, fight hard for the freedom to vote. >> i love that word. fight, fight, fight, fight. and in the other chamber of congress, 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. pledge allegiance to the united states of the united states of americ, 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. florida congresswoman anna paulina luna joins me now. congresswoman, you know, when we look back in

time, we 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 from real clear politics 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 guys are stepping all over it by being ridiculous. speaking to the holdouts. i want all these 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 j. trump. your thoughts? well, you know, he is known for the art of the deal. and i would like to just say that for those holdouts, they actually did get assurances not just from president trump, but also from speaker johnson that we were going to do something in debt reconciliation and ensure that we are saving for americans and future generations. >> so i don't think today would have gone the way it did unless it was for president trump. so

thank you for that. being that i was one of the holdouts back in january, we were trying to change the institution. we did. and we saw today that we are unified gop moving forward. >> well, that's good to hear that. they got a policy deliverable. so maybe something that is worth it in the long run. but you know, congresswoman, as you look at this and you think about a narrow 217 to 215 majority, which is what it will be when you count for the two going into the trump administration. what does this say about passing major legislation? do you think there will be an issue? >> you know, i think that there's going to be a lot of people that might try to become mini mansions, is what 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 ensuring that the american people were put first and foremost and not being forgotten. and so i think that all of those messaging items are winnable, especially in a narrow majority. and i just hope that my colleagues decide to work together again. kayleigh, we have our first big test that's going to be on

budget reconciliation. we're actually starting meetings tomorrow. i'm not even leaving washington. we're staying through the weekend and hopefully we'll be able to deliver wins for america. >> i like that many mansions. that's very clever. congresswoman, 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. >> you believe you were sent by god? yes. repent. >> come and be baptized in the river jordan. i speak in the name of the one true god.

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 judge is corrupt and i am still under a gag order. i am not allowed to speak about the thing he least wants me to talk about. it is crazy. now, despite moving forward with the sentencing, merchan has signaled 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? constitutional law attorney, fox news contributor and george washington law professor jonathan turley is here now. professor turley, you always have such a way with words and you say this is the final cathartic act for lawfare warriors. but these warriors did not just lose the battle. they lost the war. have they not figured that out at this point? >> no, it's very true.

kayleigh. >> i think that the amazing thing about this order is that it's almost sentencing by sound bite, that what he's 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've been waiting for him to make this decision. he schedules it just over a week before the inauguration, and then he drops a hint that if he was not able to sense him before the inauguration, he may just suspend sentencing for four years. i mean, i would call that passive aggressive, but it seems rather actively

aggressive. >> yeah, it is rather aggressive. but you know, this will allow president trump to appeal. you mentioned the layers of reversible error. what happens next. does this make it to the supreme court. what's the timeline on that. >> well it's going to have to go through the new york court system, and there's 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 that's the first appeal in terms of dealing with the sentencing. now, generally, trial judges have the advantage. 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. it would go deep into trump's presidency, and he would have to continue to argue the case while he's president. >> you know, 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 an election, according to the inspector general. this nonpublic information, according to a grassley leader, involved negative information about president trump. it could have included classified u.s. intelligence. uncertain about that. i mean, does this surprise you that doj officials are leaking this kind of information? >> no, unfortunately, it's not surprising at all. of course, you had comey, who was the former fbi director, who actually removed classified material from the fbi, gave it to a friend who leaked it to the media. you had 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's why the president wanted someone without any connections to the

department of justice, because he wants to change that culture. >> it's important to change. professor turley, thank you very much. >> thanks, kayleigh. >> well, coos, cover ups and pardons dems come to grips with joe biden's legacy. >> israel, the birthplace of our faiths. for christians and jews. that christmas morning, wise men brought gifts from outside the holy land. >> but in this year of war, this holy land and her people are living in fear. >> and many of the elderly are alone and suffering like the wise men or wise women. would you open your heart and give a special holiday food box to

someone here in israel this christmas hanukkah season? >> right now, the hardships in israel are felt by everyone. people like hannah, who can't buy food. that is where the fellowship comes in. that's where the fellowship is called hashem. to feed the hungry. >> happy hanukkah hanukkah through the international fellowship of christians and jews. hanukkah, your special holiday gift of just $25, can answer their prayers this hanukkah and christmas season. >> it's people like chaya that you can touch. >> please call, scan, or go online now to help rush emergency food and healing to elderly jews and their christian neighbors struggling to rebuild their lives from the war. you are a christian. those words of isaiah that the spirit of the lord is upon you. here we go. you're bringing hope. you're bringing tomorrow on the

you were crazy. remember, all of it was just cheap fakes. democrats didn't just gaslight you over joe biden's health. they did it on immigration, crime and the economy, too, which led to a generational shift away from the democrat party driving away even the most diehard liberals. >> when you're affected day to day by quality of life issues and all you hear from the democratic party is shut up. >> no, it's not happening. and if it's happening, it's not that big of a deal. man, that really does red pill people. it builds resentment toward the party. and i really think that democrats need to pivot away from that, because they're going to keep losing. if they think that that type of treatment of voters, that type of disrespect toward voters is going to get them anywhere. >> let's bring in former press secretary for joe biden, michael larosa, happy to have you here, michael. and i want to begin with some reporting

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

it. what happened was i confirmed her schedule, which was public information. as you know, i can't you can't lie about publicly available information. the truth was she was traveling quite a bit. and if they didn't want her to be, then she shouldn't have been traveling. but look, you know, age 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, you know, are bragging about her aggressive schedule, it can come at a cost to the star of the show. right. as you know. >> so there was some reporting back in june and this was from axios. and they said this. biden's behavior stunned many in the white house, in part because biden's closest aides, often led by jill biden's top aide, anthony bernal, took steps early in the term to essentially rope off the president. was that your experience? you were there in

the first two years. was the president roped off by people on your team and joe biden? the first lady's office? >> that wasn't exactly my experience. look, it is true that this president is notoriously insular 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. we had covid spikes come up and down. you know, we famously said america was back when apparently, you know, there were a lot of variants still to come. so we weren't really in the clear. and they were trying to keep him that both the president and first lady safe all the time. i don't want to, i think look, kayleigh, you know, nancy reagan, 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 this might not be a massive plot, diabolical plan to deceive people, but it was people close

to the president who care about him. and, you know, they were what they were doing was achingly human to protect their boss and to 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's as sinister as some people are making it out to be. >> well, michael rosa, i appreciate your candor and thank you for being here. breaking news on meghan markle. we'll be right back. >> doctor box. >> there were many failed attempts to fix my teeth. >> i retouched all my wedding photos and it was even affecting my health. i trusted you because you specialize in dental implants. you created a permanent solution and customized my teeth. so it still felt like me. my new teeth have improved my life and

fraudulent deed, if it's notarized and all the spaces are filled in, we by statute have to accept it. we cannot give it back to them and say, we know this is fraudulent. we're not going to file it. that's against the law. it's public records. it's a recording system. they don't make a phone call, they record it. that's all they do. bottom line is, yes, it happens and we can't stop it from happening. and it only takes once for it to sting you. and it's a very sad thing to watch. you've put your love into the house, and all of a sudden it might not be yours. it's a devastating crime for pennies a day. >> home title lock will monitor your title non stop, alerting you to suspicious activity if you even get a warning. >> notice that this first step has happened. you can stop the rest. >> this person from somewhere in new york stole our property, so i was surprised. i talked to my father about it. >> he advised me that he had taken out home title lock about eight months earlier. >> we logged in to home title lock. he had five alerts

immediately. we contacted them and within about two weeks the deed was put back in my parents name. >> if you give us a call right now and mention promotional code lock, it will give you your first 30 days of protection. absolutely free home title lock. >> lived up to every promise they made. >> go online or call now one (800) 493-1175 and sign up today. >> how can you tell if your supplements were developed by amateurs or pros? neither could we. that's why i joined forces with seven other leading doctors to create doctors preferred supplements formulated by us, like this clinical grade berberine doctors preferred supplements are doctor formulated using clinically validated ingredients and triple tested for purity and potency. don't trust your health to the amateurs. choose doctor's preferred for better science and better results. >> look for clinical grade berberine and other doctor's preferred products in stores near you on a magical night. >> dreams take flight and

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 of the most glamorous moments of my life. it's magic. >> gosh, yo, meghan 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 image rehabilitation because she's trying to look like this generous, giving person. even though she was known as the duchess of difficult like kayleigh. if she wanted to be fun and 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.

>> it is indeed a mystery, as is this today. kamala harris was ceremoniously sworn in. she swore in newly elected senators where arizona senator ruben gallegos, young son, paid his condolences. >> and sally, you did it again. >> oh, you know what, sweetheart? >> you know what? >> don't you worry about it, because there's still so much work to do. so it's not that we can win. we're not defeated, right? we know what that word defeated means. >> are we defeated? >> no, we're not defeated. right? that's right. >> that's right. >> hahaha! >> guess that's her new job. well, yeah. >> i just want to clarify one thing. he's not crying because she lost. he's crying because she's still sending him fundraising emails. this kid can't get another email into his inbox. she just keeps sending him and sending him. plus, you remember this as a little kid. sometimes you tear up when you're around the smell of alcohol and any little kid

meeting kamala harris is probably getting a little bit of a whiskey buzz. >> hey, give the girl a break. she deserves a glass of wine or whatever it is she enjoys. fair. fair. gallegos son seems to be handling trump's victory better than some adults, though. jimmy, look at this. here's kathy griffin. it's been a few seven years since my trump decapitated head photo scandal, where i was on the no fly list and the interpol list, and now he's going to be president again. >> and i'm on the enemies list. so come see me before i'm in one of those internment camps. >> oh, please. so internment, i know, and her big thing is she keeps. 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'd 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, jimmy, real quick, the decapitated head. i mean, she never got past that. >> yeah. i mean, it was gross. and it wasn't a real attempt at humor, but you understand, like they weren't canceling her because she went too far so much as they were canceling her. because the american people had suffered enough from her tv show, and they needed a timeout. 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 waterboard. but give me a break, jimmy failla, you're the best. >> that's why i love watching your show. check it out. saturday night, jimmy failla. all right, well, thank you for watching jesse watters primetime. it's been great to be here. watch me next week on outnumbered. see you soon. hannity. next. >> welcome to this special
