[laughter] >> in your phase herald! >> jesse: that is it the votes for president of the

united states are as follows donald j. trump of the state of florida has received 312 votes. >> kamala harris certifies trump the winner. happy january 6th. >> you know we need to move on from january 6th. i say no. >> i know more world leaders than any one of you ever met in your whole life. >> biden leaving office a little angry. >> you're all so famous, so talented, so powerful. i mean, you could really do anything. i mean, except tell the country who to vote for. but it's okay. you'll you'll get them next time. >> hollywood in the hot seat. >> plus, how would you ring in the new year? >> pretty low key. you know, i did some meth. >> so, as you see, i'm back from assignment, and i'm not really allowed to tell you where i was. and if any of you ever find out. don't tell

anyone because i'll get in trouble. so let's go to d.c, where a big fight erupted today before congress certified the election. pretty much the same thing as january 6th, four years ago. just some minor differences. this just moments before congress certified trump's victory. cnn says today marks the most stunning comeback in u.s. political history. and of all people, kamala harris was the one who made it official. >> president of the united states are as follows. donald j. trump of the state of florida has received 312 votes. kamala harris.

kamala harris of the state of california has received 226 votes. >> she's the first woman to certify her own loss, and the first person to certify a u.s. election for hitler. >> well, today was obviously a very important day, and it was about what should be the norm and what the american people should be able to take for granted, which is that one of the most important pillars of our democracy is that there will be a peaceful transfer of power. >> trump calls today a big moment in history, and it's also the end of an era. the obama era, a democratic strategist says you can just smell it in the air. a deep sense of betrayal among democrat voters, and an underlying realization that the democratic party's politburo sold voters a bill of goods.

the gaslighting of the public on biden's decrepitude, the false idol of the kamala harris campaign of joy, and the repeated cowering to the far left. even chuck schumer says democrats lost their mind. >> we did some things wrong, and we have to look in the mirror and see what we did wrong. and then there are some things we didn't do that we should have done. one of the things we have to do is we must focus on the working families of america. we talked about the mechanics of the legislation and the details of the legislation, and we really didn't show the kind of empathy and concern to average or show enough of it to average working families who didn't realize how much we had done and how much we care for them. >> chuck schumer staged a photo op on father's day, grilling burgers and dogs to show he's connected to average working families. schumer got his one daughter a cushy job at facebook, and his other daughter's a lobbyist for

amazon, and neither of them ate the hamburger because chuck put a slice of cheese on the raw meat. he's still saying biden has delivered for working families, but those stupid rubes don't know how good they have it. we just need a new sales pitch. here's some advice stop trying to show you care about americans and just care about them. james carville, still in recovery. >> it's very depressing. but if you're doing political strategy, you know, if you have an airplane crash, you got to go back and find out what went wrong. there's this simple, basic rule of politics is voters want an election about them. they don't want an election about you or your opponent. and for too much, we lost that. i lost it myself. we made it about trump, and we didn't make it about voters. and that's all. that's never a good idea. and how could i, at 80 years old, been doing this for 50 years, lapse into that level of stupidity? you know, i've got to ask myself and but

i think we did. and, you know, let's learn from this. it's a it's a disaster. >> i was off for two weeks on assignment, and i didn't think i'd come back to a new year and still have democrats struggling over what went wrong. same with biden. after hiding from the press, he's now snapping at them. >> the only thing my being the oldest president, i know more world leaders than any one of you ever met in your whole life. >> dana made a great point on the five. all these relationships biden had with world leaders, what good did it do? he couldn't stop russia from invading mexico from invading or china from spying. and now he's just monkeying around. >> you know what jesse helms talked about before he died? he said, i made a big mistake, joe. i should have never said what i said. and by the way, i didn't get on with him at all. but you know what he said? he said i should have never said what i said about, you know,

all those folks just got out of trees not long ago like monkeys. he said i was wrong about that. i want to take it all back. people can change. but you got to know that. you got to talk to them. it doesn't mean you'll do it. but things can change. >> biden just told that story to new members of congress. the moral of the story is that old white racists can change. why is he telling that story? we don't know. but he kept going. >> by the time strom thurmond left the united states senate, he had. i'm not making a case for him, but he had more african-americans on his staff than any united states senator had. more. strom thurmond had an illegitimate child with a black woman, never denied it, never stopped paying for his. upbringing. there's a lot of strange people, a lot of different people know what i mean. well, i bet i can look at you and they can find some

strange things to know, but i'm really serious. >> so my racist friend set the record for the amount of blacks he had working for him, and he got a black woman pregnant. and you have skeletons in your closet, too. welcome to congress. later, biden sang happy birthday to some teenage activists and then forgot his name. >> guess what? >> tomorrow is his birthday. you have a tradition in our household to sing happy birthday. you ready? happy birthday to you. >> happy birthday to you. >> happy birthday to you. >> happy birthday to you. >> you. >> we've all done it. for the first time in a while. the big guy spent the weekend at the white house. instead of hunkered down with hunter in delaware, and he was handing out presidential medal of

freedom like candy canes. there he is. magic johnson got one. he deserved it. hillary clinton got hers. although she never once led the league in assists. and doesn't she look fantastic? whatever she's doing is working. biden even gave one to george soros, a man who single handedly financed an american crime spree. soros the younger accepted it on his father's behalf. but soros, the democrats biggest donor, got a presidential medal of freedom. that is tacky. hunter was in the house. he was hoping for one, too, but all he got was a pardon. biden promised he'd ensure a smooth transition for the next trump administration. oh, and then today, he banned offshore oil and gas drilling. here's trump. >> i see it just came over that biden has banned all oil and gas drilling across 625 million acres of u.s. coastal territory. it's ridiculous. i'll unban it immediately when

i see somebody saying he's going to ban 625 million acres. he doesn't know what that is. he doesn't even know what 625 million acres would look like. and we can't let that happen to our country. it's our greatest. it's really our greatest economic asset. and we're not going to let that happen to our country. >> biden knows trump's just going to reverse it. he's just trying to eat up the clock. it's like when your son throwing your keys on the lawn before you take him to school, you're going to find the keys, but he's just being a pain. biden's handing trump a fiscal ticking time bomb, and it's threatening to blow up at any minute. a $2 trillion deficit. that's freaking out the bond market. trump's coming in ready to rewire the last four years. biden nomics is out. trump's teeing up the ai economy. higher wages and productivity and real demand, not fake demand for things no one likes, like electric cars or migrant handouts and whale killing windmills. he's been at mar a lago dialed in, holding

meetings with advisors, poring over charts of the mckinley teddy roosevelt presidencies, analyzing the economic benefits of tariffs. that's according to the no spin news. trump's getting set to cram a year of promises into one day. the latest game plan is to pack trump's tax, energy and border agenda into one big mega bill and get it passed the house by late april. >> well, i favor one bill. i also want to get everything passed. and, you know, there are some people that don't necessarily agree with it, some open to that. also, my preference is one big, as i say, one big beautiful bill. now, to do that takes longer, you know, to submit it takes longer actually. but but so it's a longer process to me it just is a cleaner. it's cleaner. it's nicer. now, with that being said, we'd get some border work done a little bit earlier. et cetera. et cetera. >> while i was out on assignment, trump was working

the phones jawboning congressmen into keeping mike johnson as speaker. this is what he said, quote, it would be disrespectful to americans who voted in a historic presidential election to have this speaker's vote go to a second or third ballot, ending with, fellas, we have a lot to do. let's get to it. and they voted in mike johnson with only one holdout, congressman massie from kentucky. trump's expecting no shenanigans over his nominations. the senate majority leader, john thune, privately told trump that hegseth already has the votes to be confirmed at the pentagon. and next week, confirmation hearings. baby. we're told it could be hegseth. pam bondi, tulsi kash patel and maybe more all lining the runway before inauguration, which is january 20th, happens to be martin luther king day, so everybody's going to have the day off. this means there's no excuse for this crowd to not be the biggest crowd in inauguration history. the

second trump term is strictly business. trump's chief of staff, siouxsie wiles, they call her the ice maiden, has no tolerance for troublemakers. she wants a no drama zone at the white house. she's promising it won't be the same chaotic den of self sabotaging that stymied the first term. she told staffers. i don't welcome people who want to work solo or be a star. my team and i will not tolerate backbiting, second guessing inappropriately or drama. these are counterproductive to the mission. so trump's nominated a bunch of fox news hosts who aren't allowed to be stars. this should be fun. young staffers are being told to get ready to work punishing hours. you know, the kind of hours that prime time staff work. 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. this is a stark contrast to the biden white house. there will not be lids called at 2:00 on a tuesday. the incoming trump administration wants no sand in

the gears this time. that means from the inside or from the outside, the resistance for now has been broken. there's only a few dead enders like judge mershon here in new york, who's announced he's going to sentence trump for the so-called hush money case this friday. no jail time. he says he just wants to get one last whack at the bad boy before he's sworn in. the resistance will regroup eventually, and they'll definitely throw more than a snowball. but this presidency is about to start with a bang, so get ready and happy new year! former house speaker kevin mccarthy joins me now. should kamala harris have called in sick today? >> you know what i say a lot of bad things about kamala harris, but i'm going to say something different today. i respect what she did today. and she stood there. she said it, you know, it was tough and she was professional about it. >> so joe biden, you probably saw this behind closed doors. he's just losing it with reporters. >> yeah. he it's a sign when

mentally the anger goes quick. the cussing. and look, i told you about it early on and they would attack me at the white house. kevin's lying about it. everybody would go off and. and now schumer is trying to backpedal. they saw the same stuff. i saw pelosi was right next to me, saw him. he didn't know where he was. >> and he's banning oil and gas drilling off the coast. he knows trump can unban it. >> yeah, but but this is the world. whoever captures ai and quantum has an advantage. we will never capture ai unless we get our energy. look, we're ahead in computing. china has an advantage of what they're going to do in energy. god gave us this natural resource and he's trying to keep it away. and if you really want to solve climate change, i can do that. so let's go out, build all the above. we need to expand our grid. and he's actually doing the opposite on his way out. >> i'm sure it has nothing to do with the bribes paid to his family, that he's making things easier for you. >> you know what it is. he is mad. he got pushed off the

ticket. and so if i can't do it, you're all going to be punished. >> am i being mean when we play the birthday clip? you've forgotten people's names. maybe not in the middle of the happy birthday that you initiated. >> what? i loved what he said. we have a tradition in our family. like no one in america sings happy birthday on their birthday. you know, it was like something new to him. but what i love best is you started this with the snowball fight? yeah. i don't want to say washington's gotten worse, but when i was leader, i passed where the kids could slide down the capitol. what has happened to washington? what is happening? >> and so they want to do a mega bill. now i hear mega bill and i get excited. yes. do you get excited when you hear mega bill? >> yes. and i think it's the right thing to do. looking at what happened with the speaker's race. okay, it wasn't as tough as mine, but it's still but they've got a small majority now, smaller than what we had. and it's the first time in modern history the majority in the senate is bigger than in the house. and when they take office, two more members of the house are going to leave and to fill those seats. the races in

florida aren't going to happen to april 1st. the one in new york will happen past that. so they're even going to be a smaller majority. nobody can miss it. all right. >> so if you go against the grain, siouxsie wiles the ice maiden is just going to slit your throat. >> no, suzy. suzy is excellent. yeah, she's a professional. you watch what she has done with the president carrying out this campaign, why? they put him into court and everywhere else. unbelievable. think about this. this is the first non-incumbent president to win republican to win the popular vote in 38 years. that's why if the house, there's a few members, want to look at themselves. just what suzy is saying. no stars, but they are. i want to i want to be chairman of a committee. so i'm going to withhold my vote. none of that. you got to put the country first. >> and they're still counting the votes in california in your home state. right? well, are they going to finish that soon? >> for four years ago they have gone reverse. yeah. >> we got to fix that up next time. all right kevin mccarthy good to see you. >> happy new year i'm glad you're back from wherever you were. assignment. assignment, assignment. >> and we're going to leave it

at that. all right. thank you. so what do people think is going to happen in trump's second term? >> donald trump is coming back. he's going to be the president again. what do you predict is going to happen in donald trump's america? >> money, money, money, money that's coming back. y'all, i feel like this is coming back. >> your best defense against erosion and cavities is strong enamel. nothing beats it. i recommend pronamel active shield because it actively shields the enamel to defend against erosion and cavities. i think that this product is a game changer for my patients. it really works. my favorite babysitter is annalisa. >> she's pretty good. she's like my grandma, she says, hola, como estas? and then we go skateboarding. >> from babysitters to nannies to daycare centers. find all the care you need at care.com. >> hi mike huckabee here. >> having spent many years in politics, i can comfortably say that the current climate is enough to keep any of us awake at night, and i safeguard my

again, nine tablets for just $7 is try friday plans.com. >> fox news alert biden in new orleans after a terrorist murdered 14 people on new year's day. today, we're finding out just how much the feds and locals blew it. new video shows jabar planting ieds inside giant coolers right around bourbon street. he was planning on detonating them with a transmitter from his truck. police didn't notice the cooler bombs sitting on the street unattended. a few people partying on bourbon saw one cooler, rolled it down a couple

of blocks, then left it. good thing it didn't go off. we're also finding out new orleans police had barricades at their disposal that could have stopped the attack, but they didn't put them up because the police chief was out to lunch. >> 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 now to put them. >> all right. so would the police do to block off bourbon street. they parked a squad car on the street. would the terrorists do? he drove his truck around the squad car onto the sidewalk and mowed down 14 innocents. new year's eve, new orleans, kind of a big night. and bourbon street wasn't barricaded. but the terrorists should never have made it this far in the first place. he was a walking red flag that the fbi should have scooped up a while ago. jabar was an army vet who took suspicious trips to egypt and canada, then scoped out new orleans with zuckerberg goggles. you know, the lenses with the built in cameras. he

posted all kinds of crazy stuff on the internet, ranting about end times. and an hour and a half before the attack, he started posting on facebook, pledging his allegiance to isis. the fbi should have seen it coming. >> there was an extended glide path, if you will, of planning, radicalization and planning in this case. i mean, he traveled to egypt, he traveled to canada. he traveled to tampa. he went to new orleans twice. he planned an arson ied, a vehicle, ramming guns, you know, firearms, very elaborate attack. you know, maybe not a skilled attack, but but a very elaborately planned one. so all along the way there, there are opportunities to, you know, to detect the red flags, if you will. >> the fbi has so much manpower. on jan sixth, they forgot about jihadists. this is a pattern. we've seen their priorities are wrong. while jabar was radicalized and chris rea was rummaging through melania's closet. looking for what? a piece of paper love

letters from little rocket man. ryan ruth, the second guy that almost assassinated trump, should have been picked up by the feds a long time ago, way before he got to trump's golf course. he tried building a mercenary army in ukraine, moonlighted as an arms contractor. he was flagged to the cia, fbi, homeland security, state customs. so why was he free as a bird to take a pot shot on the sixth hole? ruth's writing more letters from his jail cell. he's asking to be sent to gaza in exchange for hostages. he also ranted about alexander hamilton, compared himself to george bailey from it's a wonderful life. this nut outfoxed all of our intel agencies and got this close to shooting the president. the other trump assassin wannabe, matthew thomas crooks, probably had a few red flags too, but we wouldn't know because the feds buried everything. it's not just trump. kavanaugh almost

got murdered a couple years ago, back when an armed assassin showed up at his front door. now we're finding out the kavanaugh hitman was inspired by the supreme court leak about overturning roe v wade. he told cops this. i've been suicidal for a long time, and when i saw leaked draft, made me upset, made me want to, i don't know, i was under the i was under the delusion that i could make the world a better place by killing him. the leaker was never caught, but i'm sure they tried really hard. why are all these assassins and terrorists slipping through the fbi's fingertips? because the bureau is fighting a political war instead of the real one. they're still focused on jan six today. merrick garland called the investigation, quote, one of the most complex and most resource intensive investigations in the justice department's history. andy mccabe called it, quote, a massive piece of the institutions work so massive it's distracting them from

noticing cooler bombs and assassins. but the shadow government hasn't learned a thing. they're whining that trump should have been put in prison before the election. >> you have extensive new reporting tonight on whether we'd even be here in this context, if attorney general merrick garland had charged trump earlier for his actions on january 6th. what are you hearing from your sources inside the doj? >> one of the things you hear from people who are involved in the investigation, we talked to about a dozen people. one of the things that they said was, you know, we could have probably brought this case a lot earlier. i'll read you just a part of one thing they said. one person we talked to, they wasted time. they were not strategic. and they said in the end, they ended up helping trump with the primary and dividing the country. >> this should all end pretty soon. jan 20th, two weeks away. if the vetting doesn't get these out, doj's should. let's bring in michael shellenberger. he's the founder of public

news. all right. mike, what is this new year's day terrorist attack? >> tell you, it's good to be with you, jesse. well, i mean, i think one thing you have to keep in mind is that the director of the cia, christopher wray, and others at the fbi, had said that the biggest terrorist threat in the united states was from white supremacists. they said that in 2021, they said over the past ten years, that's where they had seen the majority of terrorist attacks. that's false. there had been five attacks by islamic radicals in that period, four by white supremacists. islamic radicals had killed 77 people, 49 by white supremacists. and either way, that's such a small number of terrorist attacks. there's too few numbers. the set of numbers is too small to be able to discern a trend. but either way, you see, at best an fbi that has been distorted beyond recognition from its traditional law enforcement mission into one that's highly politicized, focused on

racialist dei quotas, and on persecuting effectively the maga republican base, along with the rest of the intelligence community, which had viewed trump's supporters somehow as a threat to national security. >> you know, the police chief in new orleans that doesn't know how to barricade bourbon street on new year's eve. she teaches a course in dea for the fbi. that's exactly what we're talking about, mike. the priorities are out of whack. what is it going to take to shape up this institution? >> well, look, i mean, i think expectations are very high for kash patel. assuming he gets confirmed. expectations are very high. i mean, i think many of us want to see a lot of information disclosed. i mean, we're still waiting. we have big questions remaining on the russiagate hoax, on the hunter biden laptop on the january 6th pipe bombs. the fbi just released new video where you can't tell who the person is. it's almost as though they deliberately distorted the video footage. why is it only

emerging now? so i just think there's you know, we've seen entrapment efforts by the fbi. this is an organization that needs to be rebuilt from bottom to top. it needs to be heavily focused on its law enforcement mission. patel has talked about separating that from its intelligence mission, but it needs to be focused on what its mission has been to do, which is to fight crime, to do what local law enforcement can't do. it's in a bad way. it's really lost touch with its mission. >> and i didn't i didn't know expectations that they released some sort of gussied up image of the so-called pipe bomber. we're going to have to look into that. thanks for bringing that to our attention and happy new year, mike. >> good to be with you, jesse. >> bribing politicians, planting puff pieces and covering up for dictators. america's top spin doctor is next.

get them next time. >> the ruling class may be washed up politically, but they're not ready to turn over a new leaf. yesterday, nbc called out chuck schumer for covering up biden's decline after years of doing it themselves. >> leader schumer, what do you say to americans who feel as though you and other top democrats misled them about president biden's mental acuity? >> look, we didn't and let's let's look, let's look at president biden. he's had an amazing record. the legislation we passed, one of the most significant groups of legislation since the new deal, since lyndon johnson's great society, putting in 235 judges a record. and he's he's a patriot. he's a great guy. >> and the liberal shills of the press know better. they're still running with the same failed pre-debate script. joe biden's brilliant. he's not diminished at all.

>> i was very surprised that when you asked the question about mental acuity, he didn't more forcefully push back. the question on the table is, is, is the is the president all the way there? and the answer is unequivocally yes. >> now, we all knew the truth for years. so why did so many journalists and politicians go along with it? it's an important lesson. you got to be careful what you believe from the establishment. top spin doctor phil elwood made a career out of manipulating the media and public perception for some of the worst humans in the world, from the private sector, some moguls to gadhafi. he chronicles his work in his new book, all the worst humans how i made news for dictators, tycoons and politicians. and now he's here to reveal what goes on behind the scenes. i love this book. this is one of my favorite reads of the year, because it confirmed what a lot of. i already knew that everybody is a scoundrel, and there's not a lot of virtue in

this country at the top, and you know a lot about it. one of the things that caught my attention in this book, all the worst humans. it seems like a lot of politicians are for sale. explain the story behind that. sure. >> so i think the example you're talking about is when i was working for the government of qatar, and they got it in their head that they wanted to host the world cup in 2022. and espn said at the time that it made more sense to play the super bowl in a lake than it made to play the world cup in qatar. so congress passed a resolution supporting our own bid to host the games. we are their prime competitor, and so my client wanted me to get a resolution introduced opposing our own bid to host the world cup. so frantically i was brainstorming. i went to a bar and sat outside, and i was trying to figure out how to do this, and a group of school kids walked by and they were

all morbidly obese. and i had the idea. and on a cocktail napkin, i wrote a resolution that said the united states government would not support bids for any international games, world cup or olympic until we fully funded physical education programs in public schools. i then worked with a lobbyist to get a member of congress to agree to introduce the resolution, and leaked the resolution to a reporter at politico, who wrote a story with the headline world cup versus gym class. >> and what was this politician? and did they get anything in exchange for this resolution? >> oh, i don't know. the lobbyists worked directly with a member of congress. i just worked on the press part of it. and so what happened was, you know, the article came out two days later in switzerland. they voted to give qatar the world cup. now, i won't say that i switched a single vote of a fifa member. there was a lot of bribery going on there, but what we did was give cover to absolutely every voter to say,

not even the us congress wants to host the games. all right. >> well, he does name names in the book. he's just being he's being very coy with me. now, you were in charge of babysitting a gadhafi family member during a visit to the united states and almost died. yes. how did that go? >> well, it was mutassim gaddafi, the 35 year old son of muammar. he was the national security advisor for the country, and he was partying in vegas the weekend before his father spoke at the united nations, if you remember that speech. and so i was on the plane to vegas and got an email telling me what i was going to do and that i needed to keep everything out of the press. so this weekend involved guns, money, drugs, women, private planes, and a cher concert, actually. >> and so the gadhafi guy wanted to see cher. >> yeah, we actually left halfway through the show. >> cher bored the gadhafi guy. >> yeah, i guess so. and that's

not the strangest. he wanted me to buy him jean shorts. not sure what that was all about. >> are those stylish in libya? >> i you know, i've never been. but you know, they the weekend got so far out of hand that when i went to check out of the bellagio hotel, my corporate credit card got declined because we ran up a seven figure bill, seven figures at the bellagio. and then i was walking through the airport to leave vegas, and i had $60,000 in stolen cash strapped to my body. and they never caught, you know, they only had magnetometers at the time. >> so one of the eye opening things, reading this book, is the way that journalists break stories. a lot of these stories that you see broken in the mainstream media often are spoon fed by people with money to make axes, to grind hidden agendas. >> sure, there are seven pr

professionals for every one journalist, the pr industry is worth approximately $129 billion, and some of that money has blood on it, so it's not really a fair fight in a lot of ways. >> all right. well, all the worst humans. i'm not in this book. it's not about gutfeld. it's about some other people. you might know how i made news for dictators, tycoons and politicians. a great read, thank you so much. and he has more stories, everybody. and he's waiting to tell them. thank you, thank you. well, johnny's back, by the way. >> today is january 6th. right? >> what about it? what? what do you mean, exactly? >> here's to getting better with age. >> here's to beating these two every thursday. >> help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need and the flavor you love. so here's to now. >> now available boost max tired of sciatic nerve pain radiating down your leg and
